We had a great stay at Alm Haus. The home was very clean and well cared for, and we really appreciated all the thoughtful amenities throughout. The host was proactive, communicative, and made everything easy from start to finish.
Great location to Schuss Mountain and downtown Bellaire. Very nice finishes and comfortable for our group of 10 adults. Hot tub was clean and hot! Lucas went above and beyond, exceeding host expectations. Would definitely book again.
Alm Haus was great for our ski trip. Really nice decor, and the kids had a blast in the upstairs, and with the game room. The kitchen was nicely stocked. We'd definitely stay at one of his properties again.
