Our Team

Jason and Holly Alexander
 Owners/Operators

Jason's family has owned and operated the hotel for 35 years, originally built and developed by his grandmother Letha. Beginning at age 15, he began working in the hotel with his mother, who managed the business from it’s inception, solidifying it’s reputation as a reliably clean, safe, and ‘special' place for travelers. In 2009 Jason purchased it and has since worked to grow and innovate Pinemark into what it is today. Jason and Holly have been married for over 27 years and have four children.
