Please be patient while we are making a management transition. This is a learning curve for me. I have been in the restaurant business for 36 years so this is a bit different! LOLS! We are still working to get smart tv's throughout, updating curtains and updating bedding. We have been moving things around to increase your comfort in my beautiful lodge but it will take me some time!
Who would have thought this community would be what it is today!
I am so grateful to be a part of the Alpine Forest Retreat and my restaurant Aunt Sue's Chalet, 2 doors down. She was built in 1968!
There is so many things to do in the area located directly between Zion and Bryce National Parks!

Loved it! Worked well for our big group with so many different ages. It wasn’t quite as mountain lodge as we expected being nestled on the “main” street between other cabins and an ATV rental. But still we had a great time. We loved Mammoth Cave and Danelle was so personal and helpful. She even took our family picture!!!

The BEST family vacation spot

This is the second year we have stayed at Charles and Laureens property, and it’s definitely not the last. We love that it fits the entire family, and that it’s right in the middle of the village. The house has everything you could ever need for a large family gathering. We look forward to this trip every year and we’re so happy we found this house!!

Great Place

We loved having a space big enough for our large family reunion. Having a bedroom and bathroom for every adult couple was wonderful. We used the space outside for a couple of tents and enjoyed the deck and chairs in the evenings. We didn't have a problem with other nearby guests, but be aware that there are other dwellings very near and the back grassy area is shared. Loved our stay!

Winter Wonderland

My husband and I and our 4 adult children and their spouses had a wonderful time at the lodge! We all had so much fun and with each room having its own bath, everyone was very comfortable! We actually had bedrooms we didn’t even use! If you’re looking for a family retreat without everyone on top of each other all the time, this place is perfect. Granted, it’s a little dated & the place is not perfect, but the beds are comfy, plenty of space and appliances for cooking group meals, and Laureen (the owner) was lovely to work with and very responsive. We snowmobiled one day and skied another … it was a wonderful family vacation!!

We didn’t stay

We went to the house and it was very dirty. There was dog hair all over, there were cobwebs, and it smelled like smoke inside. We were planning to bring some clients to stay, but ended up getting hotel rooms instead. I messaged the host but got no reply, so we ended paying full price and not even using the home.

Pictures don’t tell the story

The lodge was not quite what we had thought it would be from the pictures, or lack of pictures. I had communicated back and forth with the owner several times with questions, she was quick to reply. I was disappointed when we got to the property to find in both upstairs bedrooms that you had to walk through one bedroom to access the next room. A good deep cleaning and a couple of days with a handy man would help bring the lodge to its previous glory.

A work in progress

The Host explained to us that she just recently took the property over and was working on it as she could. It could use a good deep cleaning but nothing terrible. The back yard is shared and needs a little work. My family had a great time and we would stay there again.

Family Reunion Haven

Alpine Forest Lodge was a great location for our family reunion! Each of the 10 bedrooms had its own bathroom. Seven bedrooms were on the main floor! Good sized kitchen and storage room provided 3 refrigerators for ample food storage and meal preparation. The property manager was extremely helpful in answering questions before and during our stay. The shady back lawn was a great gathering place for family meals and entertainment. The location was walkable to delicious neighboring restaurants. Our stay coincided with a heat wave and the rooms were toasty at night. Some rooms had fans, but rooms generally cooled down by morning. Overall, it was a great gathering place. We hope to return in the coming years!

Perfect for our large family of 38!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful cabin in duck creek and I must say, it was an absolutely wonderful experience! From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by how accommodating the cabin was. The space was clean, cozy, and had all the amenities one could ask for. It truly felt like a home away from home. But what really made my stay exceptional was the fun-filled atmosphere. The cabin had a variety of activities and entertainment options available, ensuring that there was never a dull moment. I also want to highlight the attentiveness of the host. Loreen went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. From providing helpful recommendations for nearby attractions and restaurants to promptly addressing any concerns or questions I had, their dedication to making my stay memorable was truly commendable. Overall, my experience at this cabin was nothing short of fantastic. The combination of its accommodating nature, fun-filled activities, and attentive host made it a truly memorable and enjoyable stay. I highly recommend this cabin to anyone seeking a relaxing and enjoyable getaway.

Corporate Getaway

The house was adequate and mostly matched the pictures. it was a little more run down that we thought and there was a water leak in one of the rooms that was not able to be resolved during our stay. Also, there weren't extra bedding items as described in the listing. That said, the hosts were very nice and everyone had a great time.
