Spectacular Stay

A beautiful house and location. We spent 10 days visiting family and friends in the area over the holidays. Brian was a more than considerate and accommodating host. Friendly and available for anything we might need. We had our dog with us and he enjoyed a huge fenced yard for daily romps. A bonus was watching the deer in the back. Even lucky enough a couple of mornings to see fox playing off in the distance. We will definitely stay again!!

DC trip

Had a fun time. Brian is a great host. Our family of seven had plenty of room. The pool looked nice but the weather didn’t cooperate the 7 days we were there. We’d stay again if we are ever in the area.

Gorgeous & Peaceful Place

I must say how terrific this spot turned out to be for cooking & enjoying Thanksgiving with my extended family ranging from 3 to 93 in age! It was tricky figuring out how to accommodate all needs for everyone, but the property host Brian made it a lot easier. Brian recently renovated parts of this estate, so any little kinks we ran into he handled & fixed immediately. He also provided everything we needed for cooking, including a roasting pan big enough for a 20 lb. turkey & a beautiful table setting. Even a tea kettle appeared when my Brother asked if there was one available! We all could not have had a better holiday. I happily highly recommend this place. Thank You Brian!

Family DC Vacation

Our family of 4 (myself, hubby, and two teen boys) took a week long trip to DC, and rather than staying in a tight hotel we were fortunate to find this hidden gem! Being from Wisconsin we appreciated the rural feel of this resort! We spent most of our days in downtown DC, so we only got to experience the pool a couple times. It was great having a full kitchen, a place for each person to sleep and two bathrooms. After a long day in the hot sun it was nice to relax for a couple hours in the comfot of a "home" space! Brian was very accomodating and answered every question we had (which we had a LOT since this was our first VRBO booking ever). Would highly recommend this resort for a family getting away for a long stay in DC area that wants comforts of home!

Worth every penny!

We could not have asked for better accommodations for the price - spacious, well-lit, comfortable with a wonderful host. Check in and out was smooth easy - Brian, our host, was incredibly responsive any time we reached out. We've already recommended this to others who need a place to stay in the area.

Best place we could have chose

We were gone most of the day and would leave early and returned late, so it was a very good stay for us. But after staying here I want to bring my friends and or family back just to enjoy the extras that we were too tired to enjoy. The house is beautiful. It’s a hosted stay but you wouldn’t even know the owner is around. You have an entire floor to yourself with tons of room, more room than most people’s houses. The owner is extremely nice and very helpful. The views are great. Super close to pretty much everything. And it’s quiet and peaceful at the same time. I hope to come back and stay when we can use the pool and outdoor bar and have more time to hang out because it would get a 6 star review with all of that combined! Thank you for everything.
