About this property

Charming Villa with Spectacular Waterfront Views

We would love to host you in our beautiful multi-million dollar waterfront estate boasting over 11,000 square feet with awe-inspiring views of the Potomac River, unequaled privacy, and close proximity to nature and culture. This charming older mansion sleeps 16 in 6 bedrooms, 1 sleeping room, 5 full and 3 half bathrooms, hard wood flooring, foyer ceiling, 2-story library, large kitchen, theater, recreational area, 3-car garage, private driveway, fireplaces, and more. It's the perfect place for a private company retreat and large family gatherings.

No pets please and no smoking allowed. Fines and/or clean up fees will apply.

No parties and social functions without owner authorization.

All fireplaces are in working order except the fireplace in the master bedroom. Please consult with our property manager to learn how to use them as these are older systems.

Update 1/21/25:
New double oven installed in the lower level kitchen
New master bedroom shower system installed

Not all appliances are available to guests. The mini fridges in the master bedroom and library are intentionally not turned on. There are 2 extra refigerators/freezers available in the garage for use. Our property manager will walk through this with you upon your arrival or contact us directly for further details. We encourage guests to do this walk through with our property manager in order to understand where everything is and the nuances of the house which is older.

Our house is always prepped and professionally cleaned for the arrival of next guests. The cleaning cost is a pass-through cost.

For your safety, outdoor cameras are installed at the front door, front of house, above garage, back door, and stairs leading down the river. There are no indoor cameras.

The outdoor steps leading to the river are truly one of a kind in the area. We are currently in the process of reconditioning these steps but no further action will occur until the spring, so we do not recommend using these steps during the late Fall and Winter months. Consult our property manger for more details.

There are times guests may experience a booking during a maintenance cycle which is out of our control. We do our best to make sure everything is in working order, but please understand there are some circumstances that are normal wear and tear and out of our control. We suggest to keep in constant contact with our property manager to make your experience the best it can be.

Ridiculously expensive
For a one week stay at a very high rate, you would expect pretty nice accommodations. Upon arrival, there was a terrible smell coming from the stove vent and in the powder room. None of the gas fireplaces worked until I called the manager and he came over to turn them on. He also turned the sauna on, but it never got hot enough. We also had to ask him to get the home theater on. There are absolutely no directions on anything in the “house manual” which was useless. Two of the “7” bedrooms were not actually meant to be bedrooms. One was a sunroom right next to the kitchen with no closet or bathroom. The other may have been a music room, no bathroom or closet or DOOR on it. Open to the public!!!! The house is furnished as minimally as possible and as cheaply as possible. We were moving chairs from room to room to have enough for everybody to sit. Not a bath mat in the entire house. Kitchen poorly stocked with common items missing, like a vegetable peeler. All in all, the house is big but feels empty. Not a picture on the walls anywhere. It looks like no one has lived there in twenty years and it hasn’t been updated in 20 years. The carpets are awful. I will say the manager, Melvin, was very responsive and as helpful as he could be . I give him 5 stars. Don’t support this kind of rental that is just out for every cent and doesn’t provide a comfortable space. The cleaning fee is an insult. I will never use VRBO again😤

Deceived
1. Upon arrival all exterior doors where unlocked including front door (stationary door wasn’t even dead bolted into the floor or ceiling) 2. Only 3 extra rolls of toilet paper and 3 rolls of paper towels for 16 people for 5 days. 3. Old rusty frying pan and pots. 4. Freezer upstairs no shelves in it, unusable. 5. Ice maker didn’t work. 6. Had to refill a portable ice maker on counter. 7. Freezer downstairs not working.. Food and ice cream melted!! 8. Backyard outside steps and walkway green with mold and wet leaves.. Some steps not secure. We had to sign a liability waiver for the outside steps when they weren’t even proper maintained. I even reached out to the Owner on VRBO a few weeks beforehand specifically mentioning the outside be cleaned for wedding pictures for my son. 9. The house ran out of hot water twice during the 5 days resulting in cold showers for most of our guests. 10. 8 coffee mugs for 13 adults . 11. Overall the house wasn’t outfitted as a luxury rental, while extremely large the furnishings were of low quality. For example paper shades on all the bedrooms windows. Rooms with no furniture in it. In addition the general attention to detail was missing.; not enough mugs, plates, serving dishes or platters to serve our guests. Overall the experience was terrible. It took away from my sons wedding and events planned. It added unnecessary stress. When I spoke with the gentleman who met us upon arrival, he just laugh at my concerns and informed me to write it all in my comment section with my reviews!! Really!!
