Baite a Backbone Mountain

“This was a lovely place to retreat and relax! The house was super clean and the amenities were perfect. Little touches of luxury made it feel special. The host was accommodating and communicated clearly. We'd stay here again. ”

“Great experience 10/10”

“Probably one of the nicest places we’ve ever stayed. Clean, great location, peaceful, and the host even decorated for the holidays. The only iffy part of the experience was that the water left a bit of a residue, almost like the soap never fully rinsed off when washing your hands. Not really a complaint but if anyone else stays and experiences this know it’s likely just a water softener and not something gross or scary. ”

“Extremely welcoming host, and we even worked out staying an additional night because we were having such a great time. I’ve stayed at Alpine Lake at several different properties, and this was the first one that provided keys to be able to use the indoor pool. It was the perfect space for our family of 3 and 2 dogs. ”

“We loved the cabin!! We will be returning again! The host was awesome, responded very quickly anytime we needed something. Even had the cabin ready a little bit earlier than check in time. The cabin had everything we needed as well ”

“We’ve been coming to Davis for a long time but this was our first time staying in Black Bear. The Bear Lair was perfect for our stay. Clean, well decorated, well equipped kitchen, very comfortable beds, and plenty of firewood. The central location was great as we bounced between Dolly Sods, Timberline, White Grass and downtown Davis. Abby was super responsive and accommodating. We definitely plan to return. ”

“Was clean and well stocked.. excellent location quiet and beautiful.. had a little problem with thermostat staying set.. but I give it a ten… great.”

“Host was welcoming and accommodating. Hot tub was wonderful. Room clean and well decorated. Bed warm and comfortable. ”

“All good”

“Alpine Lake Manor was a great fall retreat! The house sits on the lake, so we got a great view of the geese, ducks, & a beautiful great blue heron, along wirh the autumn color-changing leaves! The house had some great antique finds such as a hand made/sewn notebook, a wonderful vase ala Frank Lloyd Wright, and a window shutter wall hanging of the Raven by Edgar Alan Poe. The listing states it has one bathroom and photos show two. In reality, there are three full bathrooms! All on rhe first...

“Overall the place was pretty great! We spent a lot of time in the hot tub, and coming in to get cozy next to the heater was lovely. Only complaint is that the kitchen is woefully under-equipped and small (not even a can opener!)”
