Such a lovely lodge and Jason and Reid are just so wonderful. Can't wait to come back and see all that they're building!

This was a fantastic choice to stay at for our weekend getaway, and I highly recommend it! The hotel was lovely, the staff was helpful, friendly, and wonderful at their job! The only thing I would tell people visiting here is to be sure not to take a room facing the main road if you are a light sleeper. The traffic noise kept us up. I know that the hotel website says that they are updating the AC and heating system, but this hadn't been done in our room yet, and the small AC unit in the window was placed in just the wrong way so that it let in the humidity, and didn't quite cool the room. It also rained the entire time we were visiting, so we didn't have a chance to sit by the campfire area, but it looked amazing!

Good sized room with well considered design touches. Fire pit with s’mores for purchase in room were a hit for my kids. Good coffee, tea and tasty complimentary granola. Convenient to skiing and good dining options, including onsite.

I've considered staying here before and finally did. Very comfortable bed. Excellent bathroom with super hot water and great shower head. Goodies for purchase in the room were quite thoughtful. Complimentary French press coffee was perfect in the morning. Guessing rooms will continue to be updated over time (like window shades and removal of old AC wall units) but overall happy with my experience.

Clearly, it’s a work in progress. The room was well stocked with amenities. The bed was just OK. Shower and bathroom good. The floor was not particularly clean, with sand and some small pebbles to step on. The outside of the property just looks like it needs an update. Worked out fine for me, as I am not especially particular.

Not a great room. Very small. Never met hosts. Nice people working there though. The restaurant was good. The town lost power the next morning so we had to leave before we had hoped.

The owners were very nice and their attention to detail was so appreciated. The rooms were very clean and decorated nicely. We would absolutely stay here again should we be in the area.

This place is a gem! Some context, my boyfriend and I (23) are from an urban area and work brought us here for a quick trip. We both enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city. We normally stay at chain hotels. With no chain hotels in reasonable driving distance from our destination we went with the Alander. We were out of our comfort zones and nervous. As soon as we entered the room our anxiety quickly faded. The room was well maintained and clean. It had a very inviting home away from home feel. We ate at the North Star- the attached restaurant and the food was delicious. The staff were lovely. The owners value attention to detail and it shows! We will definitely be back.

These guys are miracle workers. Love what they did to the place. Renovations are simple and cozy. The only thing I would add. The restaurant needs couple of more kids options other than that the food and drinks are amazing. Great job. And Anne at the front desk is the sweetest

Highly recommend! Our change of travel plans to include a hike on Bear Mt led to a late reservation and a warm welcome from the owners; both very personable and accommodating. Dinner was icing on the cake. Kudos to the chef for presentation, quality and taste that exceeded expectations - a true gem of a find. If in the area again, we would return without hesitation.
