We had such a wonderful stay at the Alpine lodge. There was plenty of room for our large group - a great place to enjoy a vacation with our children and grandchildren. I found the carpeted floors and minimal amount of stairs to be a plus, since we had a toddler rambling around the house as d it was blessedly safe for him. There were plenty of comfortable seating areas, comfy beds, ample large windows and light...And that heavenly mountain air that we wanted to pack up and bring home with us. The property had so much privacy, a large yard surrounded by trees, a few deck areas to sit out on and watch the kids play. THe decor was elegantly rustic. We all loved it. Two of the bedrooms had lofts , each leading to a bedroom area with an extra bed. We went in the heat of the summer, so it was a little too hot for us to use at the time, but during other times of the year it would probably provide a fun and cozy additional place to sleep. (Maybe fans in these areas would help in the summer). All the other rooms had that wonderful breeze running through the house at night. We were also close to the Franconia bike trail, hikes, water holes, and more. It was a short trip, but we would have loved to stay even longer! THanks for lending us your lovely home!
