Cameron House in the absolute heart of Old Town - just one block from the Waterfront and one block to King Street. Tucked off a charming wide brick walkway and overlooking Carlyle Mansion gardens.

The Neighborhood:
Step into our Colonial past on Old Town’s legendary King Street. Pubs, restaurants, boutique shops and some of the oldest and most beautiful architecture in the country can be found here. Outside your door, you will glimpse the famous Alexandria waterfront one block away, where you can catch an easy ferry access to Washington DC or across to National Harbour. Those who prefer can take a short Metro ride and arrive in our nation’s capital. The famous Virginia home of George and Martha Washington, Mount Vernon, is a half hour by taxi or car and an easy bike ride down the famous George Washington Parkway bike bath. Enjoy countless things to do here in the heart of Old Town.

Located in the heart of Old Town Alexandria, Cameron House is earns a 99 walk score - we are close to EVERYTHING. Take a stroll along charming cobblestone streets, explore the picturesque Potomac waterfront, and step back in time with a visit to one of Alexandria’s numerous historic landmarks.

Getting Around:
The enviable location of Cameron House makes Old Town very walkable (we are a 99 walk scale). Old Town is just outside of D.C. and you can one of two metros from Old Town straight into the city. Hop on our cute free Old Town trolley (one block away) to King St Metro and take the Blue or Yellow metro line into DC. We are also bike-friendly and have a bike trail steps from Cameron House to the National Mall, and even to Mount Vernon – the estate where George Washington lived.

Other Things to Note:
Please note that while Cameron House is completely renovated, it still retains its historic charm. You may experience some creaking floors, longer wait times for hot water, or slightly longer cooling times. Additionally, the stairs to the lower level are steep, and there is a limited handrail, so please take caution.
Child gates are available for the little ones

Cameron House is in the heart of Old Town and you will see and hear people passing by often. Tourists often linger and sit on our bench in front of the home (Cameron House is also featured on some local tours). While Old Town get's pretty quiet by 11P, the master bedroom may hear the occasional laughter and conversation of the errant passerby.

Interaction with Guests:
I and my co-host Marcelo are at your service. We are a text away, if needed.

Family Event
My parents, mother-in-law, and spouse traveled to DC for a larger family event. We wanted to stay close to Old Town and have bed/bathrooms for all…not an easy find. This house checked all the boxes. It was clean, and the mattresses were comfortable. They have a wine cellar and offered a complimentary bottle but we didn’t partake. So cool though. We’d definitely stay again. Highly recommend this historic home.
