I do not like stairs, and it's difficult for me to breathe in high altitude. This house had lots of stairs. I also feel the kitchen could have been better stocked with cooking utensils. But everything else was very nice. ##### Lynda C. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan G. 1 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a wonderful stay at the Alpine Gem! It backs up to Sugarpine State Park and the beach was an easy one mile walk. They have kayak and paddle board rentals there which was fun. The neighborhood was quiet. The house was set up nicely and exactly how it's shown in the photos. The only note is that the only way into the backyard is through the downstairs bedrooms so just be aware of that. The management company was very responsive to a few things that were damaged when we arrived. Also note that my adult children were downhill biking at Northstar which was 45 minutes away! ##### Susan G.
