This house is a perfect getaway for a large family or group of friends. It does sleep 12 and comfortably. It has beautiful rooms and supplied very well for all (towels, sheets/blankets, soap, even shampoo/conditioner). The open kitchen into the living room is ideal for gathering and conversation, the front sitting room with dining table is also a great area to gather. The downstairs rooms allow for the perfect split if you have 2-3 families sharing the space (it has 2 bedrooms with queen beds, kitchen, living room and is downstairs as you enter the house. The kids loved (and were occupied) by the games in the garage. The location is perfect as you're just about 20 minutes from downtown DC, Arlington National cemetery, Alexandria, and then a little further to Mount Vernon or some other amazing bits of history. It felt great to come back each evening to a peaceful, beautiful, and safe place.
