'The Highlander' was lovingly built by Jeanne Casale Bourn, who decorated it with beautiful quilts and other local treasures. Her touch is still evident – comfortable, modern and absolutely relaxing.

This is the second time we have visited the Highlander and we had a wonderful time. Kitchen is well stocked and perfect for family meals. The large dining room table was perfect for games in the evening. We can’t wait to return!
Well supplied, beautiful view, great for family pictures
Loved the house, loved the area. The property manager was great to deal with! It was a perfect experience. The only complaint i have is with the vrbo site. It wont let me into my account. I wanted to tell the property manager how much we enjoyed it but it wont let me in.
The vacation home was absolutely beautiful! Very spacious and accomodating, fully stocked with amenities for a weekend of fun including a canoe to enjoy the lake. Will definitely return.
Our second stay at this house during the same season was just as fantastic as our first! Once again, we enjoyed this spacious and cozy place. The convenient location and stunning views are added bonuses that make this rental truly exceptional. Already looking forward to our next visit! Irena G
We had a great stay at the Highlander and we love our time at Alpine Lake. So much to see an do at the resort & in the area.
Our recent stay at this lovely lakeside house was a delight! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking view of the lake that greeted us. It was a perfect picture of tranquility. The house itself was charming. The interior decor had a touch of rustic elegance, which created a cozy and welcoming ambiance. But what truly stole our hearts was an easy access to the lake beach. We will be back soon.
This is a beautiful home with an unobstructed view of Alpine lake. It felt as if the Bourn family opened their home to us for the weekend. We gathered for our family reunion and felt right at home in the Highlander. It certainly accommodated our family’s needs. Next time….we’ll have to stay for a week!
We only stayed the weekend but the cabin is absolutely gorgeous and everyone had such an amazing time. We would definitely come again.
We had a wondeful time at the Highlander! We found everything we needed in the house and it was spacious and comfortable. The deck and lake view were our favorite - the pics online don't do it justice! We had some questions about the canoe and Rod answered very quickly. The canoe was a hit with our teens. Another highlight was the black bear that went through the backyard as we were getting ready to pull out of the driveway. We will definitely come back - thanks Rod!
Very nice property on the lake with exceptional views. The house accommodated all our needs. We were there for WVU Graduations and did not have time to explore the area. I would book this property again.
We just love it there. It is beautiful and has the best view of the lake and it's so peaceful (best sleep I've had since last year). The lake is excellent for fishing, I couldn't get my son in law away from it ?. The house is laid out really well. The property is not very far from Oakland Maryland where there are many things to do. We can't wait to come back next year, but hoping to stay longer.
Our family really enjoyed our stay at Alpine Lake and The Highlander house. We loved the upper deck and being so close to the lake with such amazing views. The downstairs is great for kids with lots of games and a sectional sofa. The pool at the lodge was fun. The lodge's basketball and tennis courts were in poor repair but maybe they hadn't repaired them from the winter weather. We there in early April. The owner was very nice and provided lots of information about the area.
We rented this property as a central location for our family to celebrate Christmas and it was perfect. The weather was terrible, snow and high winds, but the property owner was terrific and arranged to have the driveway cleared prior to our arrival. He even offered an early check in to help us try to beat the worst part of the storm. The kitchen had everything we needed to be able to cook an entire Christmas dinner. The views from this property are incredible! The deck and screen room looked like they would be an excellent place to spend time in better weather, and we hope to book again in the summer to find out :)
We thoroughly enjoyed this charming lake house. We have visited Alpine Lake several times before, but this was our favorite stay. The house was stocked with everything we needed and offered an unbeatable view of the lake. We will definitely be back!
We drove in during a snow storm but awoke to clear skies and a stunning view. The home was large, clean, and cozy, comfortably housing a handful of friends and a snow-loving dog. We fired up the pellet stoves, hiked around the lake, played in the snow, and used the well-stocked kitchen to enjoy big family-style meals. It was the perfect escape from the city (just 3hrs from DC) and we will happily be back! I did have a few questions in advance, and the owner was always very responsive, friendly, and helpful!
Very nice and relaxing weekend
7 of us women came together in this beautiful home. We certainly enjoyed the large deck overlooking the lake. Most of our time was spent there, sipping adult beverages and just being together.
Wonderful location with lots to do if you love the outdoors or just want to relax and take in the lake and it's surroundings
Had a great time here with family. Great view of lake from the deck. Oven stopped working one night and the owner had it fixed the next day. Alpine Lake is at the top of the world.
We had a fantastic experience! The lake view is the best on the lake. The spacious upper and lower decks are convenient for gatherings. The home is comfortable, with room to spread out.
Beautiful house, great location Quiet neighborhood, close enough to activity as wanted Would rent again
We have rented Highlander several times in the past. Always a wonderful stay! Rod is very friendly and quick to answer any questions we might have.
Second year in a row! It’s just perfect for our large family! Kids love the beach and we love the deck! Thank you Ron! Look forward to returning again next year!
The house was nice and spacious so we didn't have to be on top of each other. The location of the house is perfect because you had a view of the lake.
