Additional Information: | The Alpine Village Resort was developed on the western shore of Lake Ripley in 1953. A lodge building near the lakeshore, five cottages uphill from the lake, and two sheds were constructed that year, all in the Swiss Chalet style. It is unknown at this time when Alpine Village Resort ceased operations as a commercial resort; as today each the five cottages are privately owned as condominiums. |
