Top Lake Alpine Hotel Reviews

Kirkwood Mountain Resort by Vail Resorts

2/10 Terrible

"Pass key to the room we were originally assigned to did not work which required back and forth to the front desk and wasted time. There was no coffee in the room. Multiple things were broken. I escalated the issues with no response or help from anyone."

Leland Lodge~ Winter Snow Park-Summer Private Lake

6/10 Okay

"For the price, it was okay. Here are things that we liked: not far from Pinecrest, 10 minute drive. The private lake and play area. Walking paths in front and all around the location. Tons of streaming services on their tv. Friendly neighbors! Small amount of people walking around. Very dark at night. We feel though that maybe it should have been spelled out that the photo of the outside is actually a photo of the entire quadriplex and that it is 1 unit of a shared quadriplex where you share the front deck, its awkward if you weren't expecting that. Also, the parking is just street parking above the location. Its between the street and dirt trench area so if you aren't a good driver or scared of that sort of thing stay away. Also, its honestly not toddler friendly. We had a toddler and were scared from the outside stairs and the railing on the top floor had a big enough gap for her to fit through, but of course stay on top of them. Outside area was dirty/dusty so we couldn't enjoy it. The shared community center area was dirty so we just used it that way and let ourselves get dirty. The zero reception made everything hard. I guess it depends on your service provider? but their wifi was great! We are not use to renting places out there, this is only our 2nd time, so maybe these are all typical and expected things."

Al's Chalet, Sierra Pines Retreat, Sleeps 12

10/10 Excellent

"This cabin is such a gem! The hosts are very friendly and quick to respond to any questions. The cabin fit our large party of 10 perfectly, with tons of space, clean comfortable beds, plenty of towels and supplies and beautiful decorations. The location is gorgeous and we had an amazing stay! We would highly recommend this cabin for a perfect mountain getaway! "

Evergreen Dorrington • Both Cabins • Game Room • Hot Tub • Pool Access

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was great and had a lot of different amenities. Close to the other cabin and provided with lots of goodies and necessities. Only complaints we had were the beds were a little bit uncomfortable and the garbage disposal in the Chalet didn’t work. Also a lot of cobwebs everywhere. Overall, everything was great and might become a yearly cabin for our family. Thank you Chelsea and Bobby! "

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Lake Alpine?

The best area to stay in Lake Alpine is directly around Lake Alpine itself, particularly the northern and western shores where most of the facilities are located.

This area offers direct access to the lake, which is the primary attraction. You'll find lodging options, a general store, and dining within a short walk of the water. The Stanislaus National Forest surrounds the lake, providing a natural and quiet setting.

For families, staying near the lake is ideal. Easy access to the water means more time for swimming, fishing, and boating activities. There are also trailheads nearby for easy hikes suitable for all ages, offering a convenient way to enjoy the mountain scenery.

Couples looking for a peaceful getaway will appreciate the tranquility of the lakeside accommodations.

When is the best time to go to Lake Alpine?

The best time to visit Lake Alpine is from late spring to early fall, typically from May through October, when the weather is pleasant and outdoor activities are fully accessible.

During these months, the snow has usually melted, opening up all the hiking trails and allowing for water-based activities on the lake, such as kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing. The temperatures are generally mild and comfortable, making it ideal for exploring the surrounding Stanislaus National Forest.

For travelers who enjoy hiking and water sports, the summer months of July and August offer the warmest weather and the fullest range of activities. The days are long, and the lake is at its most inviting for swimming and boating.

Those who prefer cooler temperatures and fewer crowds might consider late May to early June or September to early October.

You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival.
