Where do I start? From the moment we pulled up the long, rustic road lined with stunning fall trees, the Hallmark-worthy charm of Mt. Alverno swept us away. We were greeted by an amazing staff, setting the tone for what would be an unforgettable stay. Nigel, the head of operations, went above and beyond to get to know us and ensure every detail of our 9th-anniversary celebration was perfect. The view from our room? One in a million.
Scott, crafted fantastic drinks for us to enjoy outside and even made sure we had a beautiful fire going while light music played in the wooded distance. The room was cozy and clean, blending modern comfort with the old-world charm that has been meticulously preserved throughout the property. To keep this from sounding like a paid review, my one minor gripe was a 30-minute wait for breakfast to be replenished – I’m still not sure why it took so long for eggs! But honestly, even with that, this experience deserves a full 5 out of 5.
The cherry on top? The owner himself took time on a busy night to sit by the fire and chat with us, sharing the inspiring story and vision behind Mt. Alverno. It's rare to find a place with beautiful views, great food, and incredible rooms, but what truly sets this place apart is the personal, heartfelt service, it brought me back to pre-COVID days of genuine hospitality. I can't wait to return and see how this property grows. The entire team should be incredibly proud of the exceptional experience they provide.
