Retired West Virginia State Troopers

We are graduates of the FBI National Academy. Each year they host a “training” at Camp Dawson in Kingwood, WV for police officers who have attended the academy. We’ve been attending these events for over 25 years. Staying at Alpine is always a treat. Your house was extremely nice and totally comfortable for four old men! We would certainly recommend it to others.

Host was quick to respond to any questions. The interior of the house was really nice-modern, nicely furnished, and clean upon arrival. It was well stocked with everything we needed and more. The owners have thought about almost everything. I would recommend putting a rug or boot tray by the door to help contain the mess of snowy boots in the winter. We were not informed that the community pool is closed due to renovation ahead of our arrival. It wasn’t a huge deal but that would have been nice to know. There were a lot of little extras we didn’t expect such as hand soap, laundry soap, dish soap, paper towels, toilet paper, sugar, salt and pepper etc. We brought all of those things but it was nice to have the backups in case we forgot something. Something of note for future renters, the coffee maker is a keurig. Some kcups were provided by the owners but we had planned for ground coffee as the listing stated “coffee maker” but luckily part of our party was still at home upon our arrival and was able to bring kcups. We enjoyed spending New Year’s Eve there with friends. We live only 50 minutes away but it was a nice change of pace. We would love to come back and explore more when the weather is better. We arrived just about an hour or so before dark and were greeted by several deer. That was cool (and a bit unnerving at the same time because they kept coming closer) but we are no strangers to wildlife. I would stay here again.
