A retreat where retro warmth meets alpine air
Tucked among soaring pines just a stroll from the lake, Black Forest Vintage Hotel is your laid-back basecamp for winter powder runs, summer swims, and camp-fire stories shared with new friends. Inspired by the carefree spirit of 70s summer camps, the grounds invite you to linger by crackling fire pits or the poolside lounge, while indoors mid-century warmth—dark wood, brass accents, and corduroy textures—wraps you in nostalgia.
- a pet friendly resort! -

At Black Forest Vintage Hotel, alpine air, mid-century warmth, and vintage soul intertwine—turning every visit into a timeless memory.
