We made our reservation by phone which was easy. We were in town for the ASU graduation weekend and we did find the place a little hard to find off the highway but were given a very warm welcome on arrival. We stayed in Room 14 which is at the back of the property and very private and quiet. The... More

Thank you for your kind words about our motel. We really enjoyed having you and hope you will come back and see us soon! We do wish we could put a sign down by the road to make it easier for people to find us but the town of Blowing Rock are very strict on signage and so unfortunately we... More

Reservations were easily made, and the location was really convenient to everything we wanted to do and see. The complimentary breakfast was a nice touch and the coffee was good.

This hotel is very near the Apalachian Skiing area although there was no snow when we were there in March. We found the motel very clean and comfortable. Our room was near the highway so ear plugs helped block out the noise. There are other units on the other side that are away from the highway. There was coffee and... More

Please come back and see us--maybe in the summer when you can enjoy our heated outdoor pool. We are also upgrading our TVs... More

I spent several nights here in Oct. 2012, originally planning to stay just one night, but kept extending another night because the location was so perfect, the room neat as a pin, the price was right and the proprietors were helpful and courteous. If you are not needing fancy amenities, but looking for a comfortable bed and clean room with... More

This is a very small older, motor-court type motel. It was in a quiet location. When we arrived around 7:00 the office was already closed with a sign saying they would return at 10:30 (we assumed P.M. but it didn't say). The key was taped to the office door which was fine with us. The room was small but it... More

For a family weekend visit to Boone, I was looking for a nice place to stay that had a bit of character. No stuffy, bland hotel -- I wanted something with some local charm. I found Alpen Acres, and was able to book the chalet. We loved this place! The accomodations were not large, but we loved the location, we... More

Picture a motel from the 1960s. Imagine furniture from the 1970s. A TV from the 1980s. A bathroom that was the size of a closet, with a shower head height perfect if you are 4 feet tall. An AC that uses a remote that beeps quite loudly when making adjustments. Then you have the Alpen Acres Motel. You have to... More
