Great little spot right in the middle of it all. Not too close to the slopes but very convenient to the grocery store and restaurants. The friendliest staff; love Bowinkels!
Hotel wasn’t at all as described. My wife and I had to leave early because of a family emergency with our handicapped daughter and they wouldn’t refund the night we didn’t stay. I will never come back to this place again.

Nice, quaint place near the ski slope. Could have suggested places to rent skis. We left a day early due to unfavorable ski conditions. We could not find the desk person to ask about a refund. Otherwise, we had a comfortable, enjoyable stay.
Cannot recommend this property more highly. The rooms are large and room, with a window seat! Staff was lovely, view was wonderful. We had deer grazing and romping outside our window. Can't wait to visit again.
Steve was fantastic. There was also about a dozen deer on the back lawn grazing and enjoying themselves, which really enhanced the mountain atmosphere.

Nice view, rustic appeal but a bit dated. Cushions for chairs very worn. Bed mattress worn out.
Kept very clean inside, outside needed upkeep. Flower beds etc overgrown. Very few customers there, probably due to being a ski shalet and it was off season. The thin staff wore multi hats and did it well. Steve was amazing with making sure everything was done. Restaurant food was 4 star from seating, to view, food and food prep. Nice wine list and 4 star wait staff.
Great restaurant on property

Mountain hotel
High up in the Mountain away from the Village, not as stated. Beautiful setting with great views, Deer are coming to your indow, The Hotel needs some updating
The Alpen in was a very quaint and old English style cottage. Very cute and comfortable. We loved staying here and the desk manager was extremely helpful. Just a short ride from sugar mountain and beech mountain. The room came with two chairs, a microwave, two beds, two sinks, and there was even a heater in the bathroom. The only downside is there was no washer or dryer in the hotel.
