About this property

The Alpine House | Ski in /out | Private Hot Tub | Sleeps 16

The Alpine House has everything you've been looking for this getaway! This beautiful 4 bedroom private home has been recently redecorated and it is located in the gated community at Boyne Mountain. Incredibly spacious, there is an abundance of gathering space and seating areas for your entire group. The home is literally STEPS away from the Alpine chairlift. Simply imagine your family and friends as you sit in the living room, watching the snow fall and the chairlift pass by! As an added convenience, this home is about 200 yards away from the top of the mountain where the Alpine and the Disciples 8 chairlift all empty; Such easy access on and off of Boyne Mountain will make this property a favorite for you and your group, and one that you will want to build traditions in.
This highly customized home has custom ski storage, gas burning outdoor fire-pit, surround sound throughout the home, bumper pool table, PLUS two large living rooms, allowing everyone in the group to make themselves right at home. For special note, a brand new hot tub has been installed February 2021 and we look forward to guests enjoying this favorite amenity! Speaking of feeling at home, enjoy the spacious kitchen with seating at the dining room table for 10 PLUS 6 bar stools surrounding the oversized island. There is also a 3 season room just off of the dining area with additional seating and amazing views tucked in the beautiful wooded area that surrounds the home.
The main level living area has abundant seating, a vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace, and a flat screen TV. For added convenience, there is a powder room located off the main living area. The master bedroom hosts a king bed, en suite bathroom with double sinks and granite countertops. And for added luxury and touch, enjoy your private gas fireplace and flat screen TV, in this beautiful master bedroom!
When you head upstairs where you will find 2 additional bedrooms; featuring a king bedroom, 2 Queen beds in the other bedroom and a shared full bathroom with double sinks and granite countertops. This is a bonus feature as it gives plenty of space for adults to have some quiet time, while the kids enjoy their own private area downstairs!
Located on the lower level, "The Bunk Room" features eight custom built bunk beds that can sleep young children and young adults! The lower bathroom has triple sinks and an incredibly ingenious shower set up with 2 single stalled showers so more people can get ready at once.
Walking out from the lower level is where you will find your private 8 person hot tub and a gas fire-pit for your enjoyment. Whether enjoying the cool sounds of Autumn, the Summer evening of Northern Michigan, or the Winter havens at The Alpine House - your own little mini-getaway is there for your enjoyment!

Staycation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, a great property!! Everything was clean and in good condition. Only complaint is the HVAC system in the home, with the thermostat on the main level, you would only be comfortable on that level, basement was too warm, and upstairs was freezing. They did have a space heater in the upstairs to help. We would still stay at this property again, definitely not a deal breaker. Location was awesome and you could see the skybridge from the home. Lot's of space and the kids loved the air hockey. Hot tub was perfect!!

Everything about this property is perfect. Could not have asked for a better place to stay for a guys golf weekend. A ton of room inside and out to host a large group. Very clean. Would not even consider staying somewhere else if we do it again next year.

Beautiful home with all the amenities. Well thought out for larger groups. Beds, showers, kitchen, etc. were all very nice and supported the group well. Loved the gas firepit and all the supplied seating. Enough room to play together and allow for some individual quiet time.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Alpine House is beautifully decorated and accommodates multiple families. The downstairs game room and bunk room is perfect for kids. We loved the new air hockey / ping pong table. The outdoor hot tub is also a favorite. The house has a large room for winter gear and has ski-in / ski-out accessibility to Boyne Mountain. This was our 4th year staying at the Alpine House, and we can't wait to come back!

Great boyne getaway!

This property was amazing right at the top of the hill you can see all the skiers flying by or going by on the chair lift. We were pleased with the house there was enough room for all 14 of us. The jacuzzi was amazing. Probably our favorite thing about the house. We had such a wonderful time and will definitely be renting again next year for our annual cousins trip. Thanks again !!!!!!!

Great experience

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Place was great!Two things that should be addressed or perhaps fixed for future guests.1) Front door- the top doesn’t close flush, leaving a draft2) The beverage fridge door doesn’t close unless you lift the fridge slightly. Sometimes this goes unnoticed & the fridge tries to work overtime to keep up. It just needs an adjustment to make it fit properly in its space under the island.

Alpine House - March 2019

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: One of the best rental houses in Boyne. With 3 families it was very comfortable and had plenty of room. The 7 kids enjoyed the bunkroom and each couple had a king bedroom to themselves. The location was great and right off the alpine lift so we could pop in to warm up, eat lunch or end our day. I'm not sure if the kids loved the hot tub or the huge couch more! No doubt we will put this one our list of houses to stay at again.

Envious

We wish we owned this house! Beautiful and the decor, tile, hardware, furniture was cozy. Would love to know where you purchased the decor from. The bunk beds were long and comfy. If I may make a few suggestions. Have a full size mirror behind door in bunk room and the downstairs bath with the two separate showers was great only wish there was a niche to put your items on. Outside big spider web near BBQ by outlet, wish it was taken care of before our arrival. The host was very nice and responded quickly. Perfect for accommodating large groups we had a great time and made amazing memories. Thank you :)

‘Pleasant’ Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the location and views but the address wouldn’t come up on our GPS so we had to call Renee 3 times to find the house. The gate code had not been given to us but Renee came through again! No complaints whatsoever - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Alpine. Loved the screened in deck, the bunk room and basement for the kids, the gas fire pit and grill, etc. we had a few ants but understand that the house is surrounded by trees-(just needs some ant traps). All staff were very helpful. Would highly recommend!

Great stay for my husbands birthday!

We had a great time staying at the Alpine house for my husbands birthday. It was the perfect size for our group. The location is awesome! I love that the chair lift is right outside of the house. My only suggestion is to have a four wheel drive because a few of our guests got stuck on the hill on the way up and needed a tow. If I have any critiques, it would be for the homeowner to supply better bedding/pillows/mattress. The bed and pillows were so uncomfortable, so bring your own pillows. Also, there was a big cleaning fee with this rental, yet there was a random sock and dental pick under our bed when we arrived. Other than that, everything was perfect. This house is a really great layout and size- could be very chic with some cosmetic updates! We would definitely rent again.

Epic!

This was a gorgeous house on the top of a hill with a lot of space :) Everything was clean and the neighbors were friendly too! The porch is perfect for a cup of coffee and enjoying the sunrise. The only issue we had was the hot tub kept breaking and we were never able to fully use it which stinks because you pay for amenities like that. They tried to fix the hot tub but it was a temporary fix and it seems like the hot tub had been having issues prior and they were trying hard to trouble shoot it. Some things are not in the control of the owners and that’s why I still give this place 5 stars because they put forth the effort to make this an amazing experience and it was. If you’re considering renting, stop considering and just do it!

Everything was great -- except the water!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The space was great -- great location, beautiful details throughout the home, spacious for all of us. The kids loved the bunk room and we didn't feel like we were climbing on top of each other. The kitchen was well equipped and we had ample fridge space for all of our food items. There was a ski lift a short hike away!Huge con -- the hot tub would not ever get hot enough and throughout the week we noticed that there was less and less hot water. The upstairs shower barely had warm water since the beginning of the week but the other showers we didn't notice couldn't keep up the temperature until Wednesday night/Thursday morning. At first we thought it was just because there were so many of us and we were running the dishwasher a lot but by Thursday evening we didn't have any hot water at all. As soon as we notified Great Escapes they were quick to respond but it felt like something we had to bother with during our vacation. I would recommend this property! As long as it had hot water next time :)

Missed Opportunity

HIGHS: Great location & layout; Well-stocked kitchen; Flawless WiFi internet LOWS: Broken hot hub, Broken coffee maker, Broken fire pit. Other reviews reveal that this is a great place normally, and that is likely true. However, our limited vacation time was marred with increasing problems with the property. We were told of the hot tub being closed only during our drive up to start our vacation. We specifically searched VRBO for places with hot tubs, so that was a poor start. After being told it would be fixed in a day, we had to ask for updates constantly on the repair. No one ever came to repair it during our entire stay. We also found the coffee maker in the same broken condition as the review from Harold A. in August of 2019. Is it difficult to replace a $30 drip coffee maker in a year? The firepit control mounting is broken, making it nearly impossible to use the gas firepit. We also found a used band-aid and cigar on the screened-in porch during this pandemic. There were other maintenance items which were less important, but uncovering new problems each day on vacation is not what you expect at these premium prices. While the manager was responsive, the issues remained. As long as you are not looking for a hot tub, fire pit, or coffee on your northern Michigan escape, this will be the place for you. We were refunded about 1% of our rental cost by NME, but I feel this is not enough compensation given the issues we experienced and vacation time we cannot repeat.
