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!

We LOVE the Alpine. It's in a quiet location and the staff are wonderful! The rooms are always spotlessly clean. The Alpine is no-frills, but that makes it nice. Just a quaint, quiet place to relax in a spacious, clean room. The staff are friendly and courteous and We've stayed there twice now, and both stays were excellent. Much better than in one of the "brand name" hotels.
