The home was just as described in a beautiful location close to Terra Alta. Tony has people managing for him so you don’t actually deal with him but the people who do so are friendly and try to be helpful. It was quite comfortable and warm and peaceful. We had just two issues – neither of the TVs worked. We dealt with this for two days trying to figure it out and get help from the managers. Turns out they were going to send their handyman who wasn’t available. My husband finally figured out that someone – one would assume the cleaner or a previous guest – had switched the remotes. (One for downstairs and one for upstairs bedroom). Once we had the correct remote with the correct TV all was well. The other situation is that we were there in a storm and the lights flickered several times at night. Only found one candle that worked and a very small flashlight. It would not have been enough. With those two things fixed it would have been perfect!

Very nice escape from the city and a really well taken care of place that met our needs just for two nights. Everything we needed was there and having the peace and quiet and proximity to nature was nice. We didn’t end up doing local activities but the surround in area of the resort was pretty and the lake too. Would recommend. Host was very responsive and helpful.

Nice house in a very quiet and private neighborhood. I appreciated the ability to bring my dogs with me, they are a big part of our family. Great communication from the host, keeping us updated with arrival and departing instructions. Had a great experience, it was nice to feel like I was coming home to relax or watch a game with the family.

Tony was a great host. We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the amenities. I highly recommend his place especially if you have children as he has a good setup. Alpine Lake is really cool and not over crowded whatsoever. We did kayaking, paddleboarding, played on the beach, visited the pool and explored in general. Definitely a hidden gem.

This place was just as described! It had everything my family and I needed (including our dog) for a weekend getaway. The lake was cooler than expected but refreshing and the beach area was clean. Everyone we encountered was pleasant to talk with. We truly enjoyed unplugging (although WiFi was surprisingly strong) and spending quality time with our children. You will encounter bugs and wildlife but we are not exactly city folks so this was not a surprise for us at all. There is a steep hill/parking area and the area for the fire pit was a bit smaller than anticipated but worked well enough for making s’more’s with our girls! Thank you for letting us stay at your place and being so transparent, friendly, and keeping an open line of communication the entire stay.

We liked everything about our stay. The cabin was neat and clean. The beds were comfortable. We had plenty of towels. The only thing that could have been better is that fire pit needs to bigger. We enjoyed using it but we felt we were a little too close to the fire. Tony is a wonderful host, great communicator. He gave restaurant and activity recommendations. I plan to stay in another one of Tony’s places in the near future.

Tony’s place is located in a gated community with a private lake and golf course. The cabin is on a hill so the driveway is a bit steep to drive. There is a balcony on each level so plenty of outdoor seating area. We really enjoyed the gas fireplace. The kitchen is well stocked, beds are comfortable, and nice couch area to watch TV. We walked around the alpine lake for a bit and the whole community is peaceful and quiet, and everyone is friendly. Tony is an excellent host – great communication and has excellent local recommendations. Thank you for hosting us and we will be back!

Great price for the area and amenities. The cabin was nice, with great decks, and big enough for 6. The best part was having access to the Alpine Lake Golf Lodge. The lodge self isn’t particularly nice, but has a huge indoor pool that is open late and a beautiful property to walk and other lake activities open during the summer. The bonfire setup wasn’t ideal as the hill around the cabin is very steep, but there is a gas fire on the lower deck. A couple things needed repair, but not urgently dieting or stay. The host was friendly, informative, accommodating, and responsive. We highly recommend for a getaway, and warmer temperatures would make the stay even more enjoyable.

You will not be disappointed with this house. It was secluded, extremely clean, and more than worth the money. We loved Tony’s thoroughness. We followed some of his recommendations and wished we’d had more time to enjoy a few others. If the opportunity presents itself, we will definitely stay here again.

We had a great stay here with our two kids. The house was spacious and comfortable and was just 30 mins from Wisp where we went snow tubing. The only issue was that the Alpine Lake Resort amenities card was missing from the house so we couldn’t use the pool, but the property managers were proactive and comped us with a late check out since we couldn’t locate it. All in all a very positive experience.

Tony was fantastic and always so so responsive! It was a great pit stop overnight for us. Would recommend for weekend stay max. We’re on a year long road trip, so we notice a lot when we stop anywhere. So our notes: Kitchen was decently stocked.. short stays perfectly adequate, but may be lacking for longer term stays. No dishwasher or drying rack.. had to be old fashioned. Plenty of towels, blankets, etc. Bathroom shower is dated but worked great. Downstairs couch and TV was the perfect spot to watch a movie! Bed was comfortable! If you’re coming in the fall/winter… the leaves outside are everywhere and you will track plenty of dirt inside.

Tony was fantastic and always so so responsive! It was a great pit stop overnight for us. Would recommend for weekend stay max. We’re on a year long road trip, so we notice a lot when we stop anywhere. So our notes: Kitchen was decently stocked.. short stays perfectly adequate, but may be lacking for longer term stays. No dishwasher or drying rack.. had to be old fashioned. Plenty of towels, blankets, etc. Bathroom shower is dated but worked great. Downstairs couch and TV was the perfect spot to watch a movie! Bed was comfortable! If you’re coming in the fall/winter… the leaves outside are everywhere and you will track plenty of dirt inside.

The home was just as described in a beautiful location close to Terra Alta. Tony has people managing for him so you don’t actually deal with him but the people who do so are friendly and try to be helpful. It was quite comfortable and warm and peaceful. We had just two issues – neither of the TVs worked. We dealt with this for two days trying to figure it out and get help from the managers. Turns out they were going to send their handyman who wasn’t available. My husband finally figured out that someone – one would assume the cleaner or a previous guest – had switched the remotes. (One for downstairs and one for upstairs bedroom). Once we had the correct remote with the correct TV all was well. The other situation is that we were there in a storm and the lights flickered several times at night. Only found one candle that worked and a very small flashlight. It would not have been enough. With those two things fixed it would have been perfect!

Very nice escape from the city and a really well taken care of place that met our needs just for two nights. Everything we needed was there and having the peace and quiet and proximity to nature was nice. We didn’t end up doing local activities but the surround in area of the resort was pretty and the lake too. Would recommend. Host was very responsive and helpful.

We had a great time at Tony’s place. He was really responsive to any questions we had and had clear instructions for the property. The place was clean and it was in a peaceful community.
