My group of friends and I had an absolutely wonderful weekend at the Alpine Chalet. First of all, the owner, Becca, was so incredible to deal with. She worked with my group and our individual needs to really customize our vacation experience. Our group, of eight graduate students, had such a great time - skiing, xc skiing, snowshoeing, and snowboarding by day, and hot tubbing and playing games around the fire by night. The home was perfect for the eight of us to each have enough space but also some quality together time. I would absolutely recommend the Chalet for groups to enjoy a beautiful and memorable weekend with wonderfully pleasant owners.

My husband, daughter and I stayed at the Alpine Chalet for three weeks and it was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we entered the house we felt home and so did our 3-year old. We have been home for three weeks now and she is still asking when she can go back to 'her house' with 'her big bed'.

The Chalet is in a quiet, friendly, family-oriented neighborhood. Every one of the three bedrooms is cozy and beautiful in its own way. One bedroom has a ladder going up to a little loft area which is fun for children to play, or could sleep more people. All rooms are spacious and have many windows. We especially loved the many skylights in the ceiling. We were happy to meet the owners who are wonderful people and helped us one time we got stranded on the side of the road.

If this cabin is not the right size for you, check with them about their other properties. They are just as amazing or better. The Alpine Chalet is conveniently located a 15 min drive or less from restaurants, grocery stores, ski and snowboard rental, a daycare, gift shop, and about 35 minutes from Timberline Lodge ski area or 30 minutes to Skibowl for night skiing. The distance was very comfortable for us and we snowboard every day. There are hiking trails by the Sandy River, close to the house. Don't waste your time to look any further and stay here. It is the right place if you look for relaxation, quietness, and convenience.

Thanks Becca for everything, I know we will meet again soon.
