Check in was simple and fast. The owner was very kind and knowledgeable about festivities going on in the area. The property was so nice looking! It’s tucked away in a quiet area of the main road. They have free put-put golf on site and a small playground for kids. (I didn’t pay much attention because we didn’t take our kids, but I think there were swings) I’m not sure why, but we were “upgraded” upon arrival. The room was very spacious! The bed was comfortable, the water was hot, the AC was cold. It was awesome! Only one thing would have made it more comfortable, and that would be either more pillows or thicker pillows. They were pretty flat. My husband and I will definitely stay there again!

Lovely people, lovely stay.

The service was excellent. They were friendly and helpful, and even though I did not find the firm mattress comfortable, they went above and beyond to make it better for me. The maps and pamphlets and recommendations of things to do in the area were much appreciated.

Didn’t have a hairdryer in the room and was told they only put them in premium rooms. Not an issue as they did give us one. Last time we stayed in a regular room and we did have a hairdryer. Nice little motel will stay again.

Stay at this hotel!

Everything was amazing at this hotel. Friendly staff, super clean room, quiet, nice selection of teas, good parking, cute dogs, very welcoming and safe. Highly recommend. Took 5 people with me and stayed in the 4 queen bed lodge and everything was perfect. I have traveled all around Michigan and the world and stayed at castles, the Waldorf, the Ritz and other luxury hotels and this was a wonderful hotel to me and i have incredibly high standards! Thanks for a wonderful stay and so many happy memories!

Stay at Inn at the Alpine

There were food options provided during our stay. Bed was ok, was squeaky. Would have been nice to have more than 2 pillows per bed like most stays have 4 per bed.

Kevin and Tonya have created a very special motel. Kevin is on the local tourism board and knowledgeable about the area. Both are nice and welcoming. The rooms are clean and don't break the bank. Convenient location. They offer locally-roasted coffee in the morning or a nice selection of tea and have a nice partnership with a local restaurant nearby for breakfast (large portions and delicious). I stayed here on a work trip, but would come back with family. This place reminded me of why family run motels were so popular for a time.. and would be again if they were all run like this. I definitely encourage you to support this great locally-owned business.
