About this property

NEW light filled 1500 sq ft apt, lg kitchen, expansive family rm, 2 bedrm,1 bath

This spacious apartment in Bethesda sleeps eight and is centrally located, close to everything that the Washington area has to offer. We are close to the National Mall, downtown Bethesda and the Metro, public bus stops, Georgetown University, Tyson’s Corner shopping mall, and the scenic beauty of Great Falls. We are across the street from the entrance to the Potomac River and the C&O Canal’s towpath, where you can go for hikes and bike along the water. We offer guests a bike rack filled with 6 bikes at your disposal. The towpath/bike path is 250 miles of Federal park land that will take you all over the Washington area and will connect you to downtown DC, downtown Bethesda, and scenic destinations like Mount Vernon. We are a ten-minute walk to the Irish Inn and the Glen Echo National Park where activities might include festivals, art shows, children’s theater, a merry-go-round, and weekend ballroom dancing.
The newly renovated apartment is on the ground floor of our single-family home and sits on ¾ acre lot surrounded by trees and overlooking a garden and pond. It has its own private entrance, and free private parking for two cars. There are two bedrooms - the master bedroom has a king bed and the second bedroom has two queen beds and a 43 inch TV. There also is a pull-out couch in the living room that provides additional sleeping options. The kitchen features brand-new appliances and a large table that seats eight. There is a separate washer/dryer, and a modern, updated bathroom. The separate living area is bathed in light from large picture windows, and where you can relax and watch television on the 65-inch smart TV.

A fun Christmas away from home

This property is just as it appears online. It has a lovely, recently redone kitchen and bath, and the bedrooms were clean and inviting. The only draw back (and the reason for 4 stars on cleanliness) was the musty smell when we came in- there is a dehumidifier but it seems that maybe it had not been running for long before we got there. This could be easily remedied by running it continuously. The hosts were very easy to work with. We would book again.

Beautiful hidden gem

This amazing, glass and wood modern home features 12 foot ceilings, exposed wooden beams, and beautiful finishing. The place is up to date and smartly decorated…mostly with the help of DWR. You couldn’t ask for warmer hosts than Liz and John, who are always available but never intrusive. We had an extended stay while our home was undergoing water mitigation from a flood. My six year old daughter and I loved it, and our dogs loved it even more. It’s homey with something for everyone. We especially loved having the canal so close by for daily walks. The house is set back into a hillside which features a little enclave of similar modern homes. At night it feels like a secret wonderland. We highly recommend Liz and John’s place for anyone new to the area or needing an in town get away for a short or long day.

All you could want and more!

John and Liz opened up their lovely basement apartment to us for a long term stay while we worked on our own home renovations. The apartment has everything you need and more including lots of work space, exercise space, kitchen space and parking. The beds and sitting areas were incredibly comfortable and warm. We loved the decor and serene environment filled with lots of native landscaping and although the space is in the "basement" of the house there is an abundance of natural light. The location is great and it is easy to get around the DC area and having access to trails was a huge plus. John and Liz immediately were warm and welcoming as well as easy to communicate with for questions or concerns. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone needing a well-appointed, convenient apartment that still feels like home.

Comfortable and spacious apartment — highly recommend!

This apartment is even more spacious and lovely than the pictures. Our family of 3 stayed for 2 weeks during our home renovation and it was the perfect home away from home. Comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen, strong wifi, big windows with lots of natural light, beautiful surroundings, easy and helpful communication with the owner — a wonderful stay on all fronts.

Great location! Liz & John were great!

We stayed here for 7 days! The pictures are accurate, beautiful apartment! Liz and John were incredibly nice and helpful! Very safe area. Keep in mind, this is a downstairs apartment so you will hear some foot traffic upstairs but not too bad, they were not loud. This charming apartment is very close to DC and all major attractions, you are out of the city but not too far out. Coffee shops, restaurants & grocery stores were within 2 miles of the home. ***The Kitchen*** this is a fully stocked kitchen! Pots, pans, utensils, plates, mugs, cups, coffee maker/grinder/Press. We have stayed at many VRBO's, this was the best stocked kitchen we have had! The eating space was large as well. My family really enjoyed this home and would highly recommend it. We would stay again!

Nature Getaway in Bethesda

We traveled to DC to meet our first grandson and stayed at this wonderful home in Bethesda on the Potomac. We were only a few minutes away from downtown DC but were nestled amidst greenery and seclusion. Minutes away from the bike trail along the Potomac and a wonderful restaurant, the Irish Inn, just up the road. John and Liz were great hosts, very communicative but not intrusive. Our rental was perfect for us and our puppy. We are so happy to have found this peaceful retreat so close to DC.

Relaxing Escape

We had a wonderful time at John and Liz's home! They were always responsive and hospitable, and the apartment was great. We quarantined for a week before joining with family, and there was plenty of space to feel comfortable and nooks for working. All the amenities were terrific and the kitchen easy to navigate. We also enjoyed the grounds, particularly the goldfish in the pond. Getting to use the bikes was an excellent perk! Easy bike path access from the house means that you can bike along the Potomac River to Georgetown and the National Mall within 30-45 minutes. Hiking along the river is right down the road as well. We would definitely stay there again!

Excellent for longer stay with pet

We had an excellent stay at this property. It was very well equipped for a longer stay, with everything needed in the kitchen for cooking and throughout the house. Highly recommend for long term TDYs. The internet connection was top notch, and allowed for remote work. There is space in the main room for yoga or other at-home workouts. The owners, who live above the apartment, were very patient with our dog who barked at any squirrel she saw out window. The location is excellent for getting anywhere within the Maryland/VA/DC area. The only drawback would be for someone with significant mobility issues, given the apartment is on a hill and potentially harder to access in inclement weather. We would happily stay here again.

Very satisfied!

Owners John and Liz were very accommodating and gave us our privacy. Clean, nice, great having toys for kids, good supply of kitchen supplies and towels. Kids enjoyed frog pond. Small downfall would be sidewalk was slippery at times and obstacle near mailbox could have been weed eated or marked in some way to see it better. We ran over it a time or two and glad we didnt get a flat tire in a rental vehicle. This location was about 15 mins out of Washington DC which was nice. Overall a great place to stay!
