Host profile image
I spent 20 years proudly serving in the Air Force and now enjoy a rewarding career as an international airline pilot. My work keeps me on the road, and I’ve had the privilege of staying in some of the world’s finest hotels and properties. Those experiences have given me deep appreciation for the comfort and tranquility of a welcoming place to stay. This inspired us to open our Alpine Cottage to guests like you and we know you’ll love it.
