Other Things to Note:

✅ This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $50 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.



To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.



Your guest portal includes advertisements with third-party upgrades that you may want to enhance your stay. These upgrades are optional and include:

🛎️Early Check-in - $20/hr

😴Late Check-out - $50/hr

Great Location in UP

Stayed here for four evenings with friends and family to ski at Snow River. Location is great, unit is super cute, well appointed, and a good value. The layout, with bedrooms and bath on first floor and living/dining/kitchen upstairs is perfect for groups w/kids and teens. Would stay here again.

Ski Trip

We have stayed at Alpen Villa many times over the years, and it is a great place to stay with ski in/out access. The new owner has made some updates to furniture, lighting, dishes, & linens which was nice to see. We enjoyed the fireplace & hot tub along with the new TV's. We will stay here again for sure
