West Virginia is replete with a thousand little paradises – places where beauty and majesty stand front and center the moment you walk out the door. One such place is Alpine Lake Resort. This gem is more than just a place to stay while you go to to other places; it is a destination all on its own.
Right along the West Virginia/Maryland border, about 20 miles north of Monongahela National Forest, you can find Alpine Lake Resort, a beautiful destination with views that will take your breath away.
Hiking paths are available for those who wish to travel the 2000-acre grounds and take in the scenery. While there, you can also take in a game of golf on the resort's 18-hole golf course, voted as one of Golf Traveler Magazine's Top 50 scenic & friendly destinations in the US. A golf pro shop is also on the grounds.
Your kids can also take in a game of mini golf, located just outside the hotel itself. Other things to do include swimming, either in the lake or the indoor pool, relaxing at the lounge and restaurant, enjoying live music, and visiting the fitness center. You can even purchase property around the lake, either as a vacation home, or a permanent one.
During your stay, you might even be treated to spectacular views of the local wildlife, especially deer, who seem very comfortable around resort guests, staff and local residents.
