Mountain Relaxation Meets Mountaineer Traditions

Imagine this: You're relaxing by the fireplace Friday night, wake up to mountain air Saturday morning, then drive just one hour to cheer alongside thousands of Gold and Blue fans at Mountaineer Field inside Milan Puskar Stadium. When the game ends, you're back at your peaceful Alpine Lake retreat by evening, replaying the victory with your friends/family.

This is the perfect home base for a WV football weekend—and we include 4 free tickets to any of 7 home games (September 5th & 12th & 26th, October 10th & 17th, November 14th & 21st).

Whether you're planning a football pilgrimage, a family mountain escape, or a friends' adventure, this three-level retreat delivers comfort, entertainment, and the kind of space where groups genuinely relax together.

Wake Up to Deer, Mountains, and Endless Adventure

THE SPACE

Modern Comfort Meets Rustic Charm

This extraordinary retreat spans three levels and blends modern amenities with warm, rustic character. The open floor plan naturally gathers everyone together, whether you're in the fully stocked kitchen preparing home-cooked meals for eight around the dining table, or gathering by the indoor fireplace on chilly evenings.

Thoughtful touches throughout make every season feel special—plush blankets for cozy nights, a dedicated coffee bar stocked with grounds, K-cups, and filters (bring your favorites, too), and high-speed fiber internet so you can work remotely or stream without interruption. The downstairs game room is a highlight: poker table, wall Connect Four for the kids, and classic arcade favorites like Golden Tee and Pac-Man keep everyone entertained.

Step outside to your private deck overlooking the woods, or gather around the well-lit fire pit for evening marshmallow roasts and stargazing. This is a home designed for making memories.
