Great hotel, exactly what I needed. I was just up for the one night and raced over at Lime Rock in the morning. Thanks to the Alander, I got a great night's sleep and a quick ride over to the track in the morning. It was perfect, easy, comfortable, and all the love and effort Reid and Jason put into it clearly shows in all the small touches.
The attached restaurant was great too. I had the rigatoni bolognese and it was a perfect portion and prepared so well. I look forward to staying there again the next time I come up for a track day. Thank you!

A lovely stay at The Alander, the host allowed was very accommodating and friendly. The rooms are cozy and designed beautifully.The cute restaurant attached to the hotel had a lovely staff who gave us a bag of ice for our room. The grounds are very relaxing and the atmosphere fun. That rain shower in the bathroom is truly heavenly. Thank you Copake, we will be back.

The Alander has such a fun story, and was a great stay. We were just passing through for the night and it had everything we could need! It reminded me of Rosebud Motel group from Schitts Creek ;) if you know you know! Will definitely be staying again!

The Alander was a great find! Clean, cozy and super comfortable beds. We loved the complimentary local tea, yogurt and granola. I especially appreciated the maps with local places to explore and the host’s suggestions for activities. I hope I will be able to return in the summer to enjoy the outdoor spaces and the fire pit. Thank you for a great stay!

Staff was amazing. They walked us to our room, showed us how things worked, and answered all our qurstions. The room was quite cozy and spacious. The only complaint I had was it was cold. The heat was working but I guess with below 0 temperatures nothing stays warm for long. Although there was about 2' of snow on the floor, the grounds/set up was a great place for large gatherings. I definitely recommend it
