This was our first stay at Inn at the Alpine. We have traveled extensively and this is one of the nicest hotels we have stayed in. The cleanliness of the room certainly exceeded our expectations. The gentleman at the reception desk was very friendly and the check in process was easy. We would highly recommend this facility when visiting the area.

We stayed over Memorial Day weekend and had a great time. We wanted to try somewhere new and Inn at the Alpine didn't disappoint. It's located between Manistee and Frankfort with plenty to go do and see. The room was very clean and spacious. There is a little mini gold course on-site and space to sit in the lawn. We checked out the Arcadia Dunes; Baldy Trails per the recommendation of the owner and will definitely be returning to hike for that view again. We received a 20% off coupon for Lakeside Cafe in Bear Lake for breakfast. The food was excellent and would recommend. We will definitely be staying at the Inn at the Alpine again!
