About this property

Gorgeous Lake Front Resort Home at Alpine Lake

'The Highlander' was lovingly built by Jeanne Casale Bourn, who decorated it with beautiful quilts and other local treasures. Her touch is still evident – comfortable, modern and absolutely relaxing.

The house looks directly onto the middle of the lake with a view from the beach to the lodge. A wrap around deck (partially enclosed) provides a wonderful view.

The Highlander boasts 11 rooms, 3 bath, 4 bedrooms (sleeps 10: bed - 1 queen; 2 full; 2 twins; and a full futon in the study).

Electric baseboard heat; AC in central living area and master bedroom, and ceiling fans everywhere. Pellet stoves both up and downstairs. Full kitchen with dishwasher and new microwave and new stove; washer & dryer; satellite TV, DVD, DVD collection. No house phone, cell reception is good. Wifi at house. Rental includes use of canoe / toboggan in season.

Easy walking distance (5 minutes) to beach, fishing (the lake is stocked every spring), playground, tennis and basketball courts and horseshoe pit.

Free use of indoor pool, exercise room, and outdoor mini golf at lodge.

Full 18 hole golf available right at Alpine.

The Alpine Christmas

The property was perfect for our family of 7 and 2 dogs who love the outdoors. Place had everything we needed to cook and bake, even a turkey.and ham. It is very spacious so one can go anywhere in the house. The hiking around the lake, in PA, WV, and MD was very “doable” and plenty of time to be home goat dinner. So glad we chose that house.

The Wedding

Loved the house, loved the area. The property manager was great to deal with! It was a perfect experience. The only complaint i have is with the vrbo site. It wont let me into my account. I wanted to tell the property manager how much we enjoyed it but it wont let me in.

First two weeks in July and then the second two weeks in August!

Our second stay at this house during the same season was just as fantastic as our first! Once again, we enjoyed this spacious and cozy place. The convenient location and stunning views are added bonuses that make this rental truly exceptional. Already looking forward to our next visit! Irena G

Lakeside retreat

Our recent stay at this lovely lakeside house was a delight! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking view of the lake that greeted us. It was a perfect picture of tranquility. The house itself was charming. The interior decor had a touch of rustic elegance, which created a cozy and welcoming ambiance. But what truly stole our hearts was an easy access to the lake beach. We will be back soon.

The Bourn Highlander

This is a beautiful home with an unobstructed view of Alpine lake. It felt as if the Bourn family opened their home to us for the weekend. We gathered for our family reunion and felt right at home in the Highlander. It certainly accommodated our family’s needs. Next time….we’ll have to stay for a week!

Fantastic Stay

We had a wondeful time at the Highlander! We found everything we needed in the house and it was spacious and comfortable. The deck and lake view were our favorite - the pics online don't do it justice! We had some questions about the canoe and Rod answered very quickly. The canoe was a hit with our teens. Another highlight was the black bear that went through the backyard as we were getting ready to pull out of the driveway. We will definitely come back - thanks Rod!
