BEST TIME ON THE MOUNTIAN!

The Alpenhof Lodge is like NO OTHER RENTAL in the area because:

LARGE OUTDOOR GATHERING SPACES – (Pavilion, Patio Area, Fireplace, Wood Fired Brick Oven, and Fire Pit)

- The OUTDOOR PAVILION has your group covered like no other rental around; stay sheltered and shaded under the roof of the 40ft x 35ft PAVILION, be comfortable while outside, no matter the weather! Where eating outside is always easy and convenient too!

- The PATIO is 4000 sq ft of open-air, stamped concrete…so, so much space to socialize!

- The OUTDOOR FIREPLACE is located under the cover of the PAVILION. You can build a fire and gather, rain or shine…and even in the snow!

- The OUTDOOR WOOD FIRED BRICK OVEN is located in the PAVILION; have a pizza cook-off competition and be rewarded by eating your own creation!...a big hit with kids and adults alike!

- The FIRE PIT is located on the PATIO, just a few feet from the PAVILION; built a fire and gather under the night-sky!

LARGE INDOOR GATHERING SPACES – (Social Hall and open-concept Kitchen/Bar Area/Living Room)

- The SOCIAL HALL is located on the 2nd floor. This great, big open space has a vaulted/rustic ceiling, with exposed rough-cut timber and massive windows; in the winter you can see Seven Spring’s Northface Slopes all lit up in the distance! The SOCIAL HALL also has billiard table and plenty of seating and lots of potential for fun!

- The KITCHEN is fully equipped. Seating and prep areas are plentiful. There is a huge commercial oven (6 large cast-iron burners, 2 ovens that hold commercial-full-sized cooking trays and a large stainless-steel griddle for mass production of pancakes and eggs!) A chef’s dream, especially when cooking for groups!

- The BAR AREA had a kegerator with 2 taps and an extra refrigeration space to store food and drinks.

- The LIVING AREA has a 22 ft H x 11ft W stone fireplace, sofas and TV too, of course!

What else does the Alpenhof Lodge have? Uniqueness, elements of authentic old-school lodge character and updated throughout! Check out the pictures, this is no ordinary house! A stay at the Alpenhof Lodge is an experience, where great times are had and memories are created!

Great property for family gatherings!
We had a pretty large group of family with a good mix of adults and children coming for a family reunion of sorts. We were very happy to find a property that fit our group. The accommodation was very comfortable with enough bedrooms and space for all the guests to spread out and enjoy. The outside pavilion and firepit area offered ample space for everyone to sit outside and enjoy the weather. The surrounding areas had plenty of outdoor activities like hiking and biking. All in all, our family enjoyed a great weekend!

An absolute blast
We loved our time here. There was more than enough space for our large group. The patio area was unbelievable. The kitchen had everything a large group would need and then some. The bathrooms and bedrooms were great! Highly recommend this place for a golf trip or bachelor party!

Time with the guys
A quick drive from Pittsburgh, this place was a perfect place for a relaxed hangout with a bigger group of guys. Even though the weather on our first night was cold, the indoor wood-burning stove and the covered outdoor fireplace kept us warm and dry and able to enjoy being inside or out. The kitchen is amazing, with industrial stove top, skillet, oven, and the space to truly cook. We had an amazing, secluded time and the owner was a text or call away with any and all questions throughout the weekend. I've stayed at many places that I feel I had been duped, but this place was exactly how it was listed.

Rehearsal dinner/ wedding weekend
Best place ever!!! Beautiful place the owner was so helpful !! It is a fully stocked house with top notch amenities. Beautiful porch for rehearsal dinner for 40 guests…we loved the fire pizza oven!!! The place is even better than the pictures! We did run short on water at times… but we had a lot of people showering for wedding and we were doing a lot of dishes… but overall. BEST PLACE EVER!

Super property for a large gathering
This property fit our group of 12 men very, very well. Spacious enough to give everyone some privacy, but also with common areas that were nice gathering-places for the entire group. The home was clean and well cared for, and the owner was responsive to inquiries. If we are in the area again in the future, we WILL stay here again

Great location for family get together
The Alpenhof was a fantastic lodge for our large family. It was very clean and comfortable and central to a lot of activities. We LOVED the covered patio with fireplace especially since it rained one night. The upper area was also handicapped accessible which was very helpful. The rooms and bathrooms have all been renovated and are even nicer than the photos online. The owner was quick with responses and very helpful. We definitely hope to return!

Overall gorgeous place with lots of room
Overall this was a great location with lots of large tables, and places to hang out. Was surprised that we were not told the water was not potable until a few days before check in. Basic cleaning supplies, such as garbage bags and paper towels, were not provided. Requested the stove be cleaned but there was nothing provided to clean with.

This place is legendary! The owner has done such a great job in this recently renovated house and. There are so many things available in the house that make a huge difference like the full dance floor, plenty of seating, and the serving equipment for large food trays. This place rocks!

Great Place for a Large Group
We had a large group of 24 guys stay here for our annual golf outing. This place was perfect. The large outdoor area was awesome to socialize and have fires. There was plenty of parking to accommodate all of the out of towners traveling in from multiple states. It was only 3 miles from the golf course. Mr. Hof was very responsive and accommodating for our group. Would 100% stay here again.

Fantastic Stay
We had a fantastic stay at the Alpenhof Lodge! This property gave us the ability to house a large church group of adults and teenagers while still feeling comfortable. The kitchen was excellent and provided us a big open space to cook meals while still providing a large space to accommodate seating for dining. The property also provides a fantastic view of the Seven Springs Ski Resort. We will definitely be back and our only regret was that we did not have time to try out the pizza oven at the outdoor lounge space. Thank you Mr. Hof for accommodating us and making sure our stay was significant.

We had a great time once again on our annual Springs weekend! Due to high winds, the power was out all weekend but Mr Hof was there to give us water and extra fire wood. We still managed to make pizza in the outside pizza oven. We will definitely be back. Great house, lots of space
