Alamo House

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at the Alamo house. It’s very convenient to everything. It’s a cabin that sits right on the creek which was our favorite part.

Great little getaway

Perfect long weekend in Boone! Great location for skiing, hiking and downtown visits. Our family had a wonderful time. The house was clean and cozy. We had everything we needed to grill out. We absolutely loved the river views and hot tub.

Stay in Alamo River House

This is a fantastic property. Location is wonderful and the river in the back yard really makes the experience. It is an older home without some of the most advanced modern services, but that was exactly what we were looking for. I will stay here again on my next visit.

New deck is amazing! I have stayed here many times and highly recommend. The mattresses downstairs are super comfortable and the porch is a vacation in and of itself. Bring your own paper plates, etc. if you don't want to deal with dishes because there isn't a dishwasher. Don't bring little coffee pods because it is a different type coffee maker.

Great Location

We enjoyed our stay, we especially loved the river in the backyard. The weather was chilly and windy, so we didn’t spend much time near the river but it was great scenery. The location was convenient to Banner Elk and Blowing Rock. Around 5 to 6 miles to each. We spent some time in the hot tub over looking the river. It was a great trip. My kids didn’t want to leave.

Best Camp T-Ma Week Ever!

Every year I spend a week with my four older grandchildren. We call it Camp T-Ma. (T-Ma is my grandmother name) The kids loved the river, climbing on the rocks, swimming and fishing. They camped out, or tried to, one night in a tent. We went to Grandfather Mountain, and then hiked a great trail on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Another day we drove to Damascus to ride the Virginia Creeper Trail. The hot tub was a big hit! We loved it!!!
We loved hiking up the river

great spot for a mountain getaway

My wife and kids enjoyed this cabin. Between the rustic vibe, the river, the rocks in the backyard (great for climbing!), and the hot tub, it was the perfect home base for a Blue Ridge Mountain trip. As an added bonus, it's conveniently located near Boone, Blowing Rock, Sugar Mountain, Grandfather Mountain, etc. Highly recommend!
