Basement apartment

The setting was pastoral and fine. The apartment was clean but musty. The linens were fair. We did not do any cooking. I cannot in all fairness give this a good review. I believe that the main house is under renovation. We were greeted on our second night with a commode in the driveway. Indoors the place had a lot of old rugs that were a tripping hazard. I would not rent this place again. I'm sorry. I have never written a negative review until now.

Perfect Location

This is the perfect location for anyone interested in kayaking or canoeing as it is literally within minutes of the Potomac river. The property is secluded and surrounded by woods offering a quiet place to relax. The apartment was clean and comfortable, and the kitchen had everything one could possibly need. Jean was always available and responded quickly to answer any questions we had. A very nice stay overall. Thank you!

Holiday Visit

Our family enjoyed our visit despite the listing description being inaccurate. We were expecting 2 beds in each room. There is a king bed in one room and a double (not a queen) in the second room. The property manager brought in a twin mattress after our first night so our 18 and 16 year olds didn't have to share a bed. I would say the place sleeps 4 with the option of a 5th (not 7). The second bedroom is accessible through the unit's bathroom or through a hallway shared with the renter of the 1 bedroom unit. The second bathroom is also in the shared hallway. This wasn't a problem, but was a little strange. Our kids didn't feel comfortable sleeping in the second bedroom because the door leading to the shared hallway had only thin curtains over glass doors. Overall the check-in and check-out process went smoothly. Location was nice - close enough to drive to the Shady Grove station to get into DC and near to the Potomac for early morning birding.

Holiday visit

My family and I enjoyed our stay during the holiday. The house was very spacious. There is a 2nd bathroom in a shared common space with the other renters, which I was not aware of but it didnt cause an issue. The owner was quick to respond when needed and even checked in with us to see how our stay was going and if we needed anything.

My vacation rental

The information on the website on this property were incorrect and misleading and some of the information were not even mentioned. After the fact I rented the place and paid and moved in the property, by reading the property manual the surprising facts come to my attention that some of them were disturbing to me and ruined my vacation. . I called the host and discuss the issues with him and he was rude and disrespectful and ignoring the facts I was discussing with him. He kept saying he explained everything in the manual book that was left in the property for the gusts and I was explaining that I found out these rules after I have booked the property and read the description and information on his website and I rented according to those information. But after I went to the property I realized there are some stuff that I wasn’t aware of them and if I knew I would not rent the property for sure because it wouldn’t be suitable for me and my mother to live there.

Darnestown 2BR Villa

Excellent stay for my son and I while he participated in the MLS Next Flex tournament close by. This is a great space very comfortably fitting 4 (if we had 4) in its current posture. Property manager Jean checked in to make sure we had what we needed to provide for a good experience and stay. I uncharacteristically lost the key on our last day (I should have simply used the lockbox during our stay - like I had initially thought - anytime we went out) as it must have popped out of my pocket when taking other items out and fell silently into the grass. Jean was calm about that and sought solutions. The unit is close to the city...we drove to red line Shady Grove and took the train to the city...easy access and there are also many food options within a 10-15 minute drive and Harris Teeter is just a hair over 2 miles to get what you need during your stay. A run, or bike, along paths by Patomic is super close by (near Bretton Woods...just Google satellite to see parking and how to get there). Great easy stay I recommend if you're doing something in the area.
