Nice and reasonably affordable
My wife and I took a trip up North for our anniversary. The motels in Frankfort where expensive. We decided to stay at the Alpine in Bear Lake which was about 20 miles from our destination. It was much more affordable and was surprisingly nice. We would stay again.

The Inn at the Alpine was reasonably priced and very charming. Well kept up and meticulously clean. It’s family owned and the owners were very welcoming and friendly. There’s a little playground and a small mini golf course on the property for the kids and the owners had two sweet dogs that my kids fell in love with. Excellent stay.
