Weekend getaway

Great weekend at Camp Fortex. It was clean, comfortable and furnished with everything we needed. We really enjoyed the wood stove while we were playing boards games and cards. We will definitely be back in the summer.

Great cabin at Alpine Lake!

We have stayed in several places at Alpine Lake, been going there for years - and this was the best! It was so clean and so comfortable! It had great aesthetic appeal and we really enjoyed spending time there. We got lucky with a nice snow storm and really enjoyed the wood stove and sledding on the old ski slope and hills over near the lodge. We will be back for sure!

Alpine Lake

Our stay was as advertised! We enjoyed the space, the amenities, the extras! It took a while for us to catch on to the light system, but liked having Alexa figure it out. The tv, music stations were much appreciated on the rainy days. Thank you for your quick communications!

Best Relaxing Resort Vacation Ever!

We absolutely loved our time in this meticulously maintained property. What a darling mid-century modern home in a quiet secluded wooded neighborhood. It was the best getaway we’ve ever had: quiet enough for peace and enough. To do for kids to stay active. The owners were so quick to respond when we had a question. The instructions were clear and the resources we found extremely helpful. Book this property and you’ll feel relaxed in no time!

The kitchen is equipped with all necessary utensils. The Alpine lake area is beautiful and great for walking, kayaking and swimming. Perfect place for relaxing but adventurous getaway.

Blissful weekend getaway

This weekend was amazing. My partner and I had the most relaxing stay at Alpine Lake! There are so many trails that we enjoyed walking along with the beautiful beach area to sit and watch the sunset. This cabin is perfectly located very close to the lake and resort. The inside made us feel right at home, warm and cozy! The master bathroom and bedroom were beautiful. Outside we enjoyed a fire while listening to the serene sounds of the woods around us. One of the most relaxing nights we spent inside the screened in porch with an amazing fire. The cabin was extremely well prepared we didn’t need a thing! Which was lovely we could just enjoy our time together from the very start. Oakland was not to far where we had dinner and explored the town. This was an amazing get away not to far from home! We will most certainly be back and I cannot wait!
