BEST TIME ON THE MOUNTIAN!

The Alpenhof Lodge is like NO OTHER RENTAL in the area because:

LARGE OUTDOOR GATHERING SPACES – (Pavilion, Patio Area, Fireplace, Wood Fired Brick Oven, and Fire Pit)

- The OUTDOOR PAVILION has your group covered like no other rental around; stay sheltered and shaded under the roof of the 40ft x 35ft PAVILION, be comfortable while outside, no matter the weather! Where eating outside is always easy and convenient too!

- The PATIO is 4000 sq ft of open-air, stamped concrete…so, so much space to socialize!

- The OUTDOOR FIREPLACE is located under the cover of the PAVILION. You can build a fire and gather, rain or shine…and even in the snow!

- The OUTDOOR WOOD FIRED BRICK OVEN is located in the PAVILION; have a pizza cook-off competition and be rewarded by eating your own creation!...a big hit with kids and adults alike!

- The FIRE PIT is located on the PATIO, just a few feet from the PAVILION; built a fire and gather under the night-sky!

LARGE INDOOR GATHERING SPACES – (Social Hall and open-concept Kitchen/Bar Area/Living Room)

- The SOCIAL HALL is located on the 2nd floor. This great, big open space has a vaulted/rustic ceiling, with exposed rough-cut timber and massive windows; in the winter you can see Seven Spring’s Northface Slopes all lit up in the distance! The SOCIAL HALL also has billiard table and plenty of seating and lots of potential for fun!

- The KITCHEN is fully equipped. Seating and prep areas are plentiful. There is a huge commercial oven (6 large cast-iron burners, 2 ovens that hold commercial-full-sized cooking trays and a large stainless-steel griddle for mass production of pancakes and eggs!) A chef’s dream, especially when cooking for groups!

- The BAR AREA had a kegerator with 2 taps and an extra refrigeration space to store food and drinks.

- The LIVING AREA has a 22 ft H x 11ft W stone fireplace, sofas and TV too, of course!

What else does the Alpenhof Lodge have? Uniqueness, elements of authentic old-school lodge character and updated throughout! Check out the pictures, this is no ordinary house! A stay at the Alpenhof Lodge is an experience, where great times are had and memories are created!

The space was exactly as described – clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated.

The space was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, close to local attractions and with easy access to public transportation. I especially loved the thoughtful little touches, like fresh linens and a stocked kitchen. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay

Great place for group gatherings

We held a company meeting and the space was perfect, plenty of space to spread out and not feel like you were on top of each other. The only minor downside was the parking. The lots were plowed and easy to locate, but if parking in the lower upper lot I'd recommend four wheel drive. We also saw about a foot of snow over the stay for context. Its an easy drive to the ski resorts which was a bonus.

Cozy Lodge

Cozy and spacious property very close to the Seven Springs Resort. Perfect for large families/ groups - ample bedrooms, bathrooms, seating and kitchen space. We cooked while we were there and could have used more than one large stock pot. Otherwise, a great time was had by all.

Fabulous mountain escape

Alpenhof was a fabulous find in the beautiful area of Seven Springs, PA. It is an exquisite and spacious lodge with more then enough room for a large group. We filled the house with joy, laughter and a delicious Thanksgiving feast. The kitchen is well equipped for such a large gathering. The 9 bedrooms are well appointed. The bathrooms are beautifully done and we had plenty of towels. We enjoyed pool and many other games in the huge hall on the 2nd floor. The grandkids enjoyed performing and singing for us on the stage. The indoor fireplace is cozy and warm but the fire pit on the patio and fireplace in the pavilion were a definite draw for young and old. Friday evening, we enjoyed delicious pizza made in the outdoor wood fired brick oven followed by s’mores. Our only negative was we couldn’t stay longer. Also, Mr. Hof is a five star host who replies quickly.

Wedding weekend

The lodge was conveniently located not far from our daughter’s wedding venue and housed the bride and groom’s family as well as the bridal party nicely. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were nice. It was a great place to hold the rehearsal dinner and the after party following the reception.

Decor like you've never seen, but clean.

Especially nice kitchen, bathrooms, dining areas, large group areas for parties, in our case young cousin play. Very clean. Great outdoor area for eating, fires, play. If I had a complaint it would be that most bedrooms are too small to keep a suitcase out. I was glad we had a couple of rooms that were not used for sleeping because we needed the space to get ourselves ready for a wedding. Otherwise, great family fun in a very friendly State!

A wonderful weekend

Mr. Hof has a beautiful and well maintained property. My group of 15+ had a great time and more than enough room to spread out. The wildfire grill and huge fire pit were some of the highlights. Inside the house, everything worked and the beds were comfy. We would return in a heartbeat. One item of note, we purchased wood for fires from the vendor recommended by the owner but his prices were not cheap ($60 for one day of wood) but the wood was dry and delivered right to the house so you're paying for the ease. 10/10

Great property for family gatherings!

We had a pretty large group of family with a good mix of adults and children coming for a family reunion of sorts. We were very happy to find a property that fit our group. The accommodation was very comfortable with enough bedrooms and space for all the guests to spread out and enjoy. The outside pavilion and firepit area offered ample space for everyone to sit outside and enjoy the weather. The surrounding areas had plenty of outdoor activities like hiking and biking. All in all, our family enjoyed a great weekend!

Time with the guys

A quick drive from Pittsburgh, this place was a perfect place for a relaxed hangout with a bigger group of guys. Even though the weather on our first night was cold, the indoor wood-burning stove and the covered outdoor fireplace kept us warm and dry and able to enjoy being inside or out. The kitchen is amazing, with industrial stove top, skillet, oven, and the space to truly cook. We had an amazing, secluded time and the owner was a text or call away with any and all questions throughout the weekend. I've stayed at many places that I feel I had been duped, but this place was exactly how it was listed.

Rehearsal dinner/ wedding weekend

Best place ever!!! Beautiful place the owner was so helpful !! It is a fully stocked house with top notch amenities. Beautiful porch for rehearsal dinner for 40 guests…we loved the fire pizza oven!!! The place is even better than the pictures! We did run short on water at times… but we had a lot of people showering for wedding and we were doing a lot of dishes… but overall. BEST PLACE EVER!
