    Everything about the stay was outstanding. Roland was a terrific host. He went above and beyond, including providing an extension cord so I could (very) slow charge my ev overnight. The property is beautiful and unique. Breakfast was delicious. Thanks to Ang for making it. Soft and so many towels.

    Wonderfully unique B&B in the woods

    A very unique place. Outside looks like any house in the neighborhood, but once you step inside, it feels like you’ve stepped into a medieval castle of sorts. Amazing old world charm, and works of art and pictures everywhere. In the dining room are a lot of pictures of the house thru the years so you can see the progression. I was told the house is over 300 years old. The hosts were great, very friendly and accommodating without making you feel like they were hovering. They serve a “cook to order” breakfast every morning. Everything was delicious, quite a few options on the menu. The place was clean, quiet and the surrounding grounds were lovely. It’s apparent that they love nature and gardening as there are many plants and flowers everywhere. Unfortunately the pool was closed due to the season, but the pool area looked inviting if the weather permits. I highly recommend a stay here.

    Alpenhof is everything you’d want in a B&B times a thousand. The owners greet you warmly and remain available while giving you space. The rooms are impeccable - every detail thoughtfully designed for the experience, and each bed (I’ve stayed in different rooms over the years) is so sooo comfortable!! There’s an enormous amount of gorgeous space - inside each room, in the incredible common areas, and on the landscaped grounds outside. I’ve never had a desire to re-visit a hotel or Airbnb or B&B before - but I’ve been back to Alpenhof half a dozen times over the last few years - each stay consistently amazing - and am always excited to stay again. If I could give twenty stars I would - outstanding experience!!!
