We completely enjoyed our stay in the house, a perfect spot to get on two bike paths for my husband's commute, and to get into the city; the close by shopping plaza made everything convenient. The big backyard was great for our kids and being able to have our dog with us during our stay made it stress-free. The owners were very helpful and communication was easy. The place is cozy and clean.

Wonderful experience....classic and aristocratic residence.....beautiful spacious garden......secluded and private property.....conveniently locateded within 8 miles of downtown D.C......house has all the basic amenities that you will need......access roads easy to navigate......

We found this well-kept Colonial home to be a comfortable warm and inviting property for our family trip to DC. Stocked with the owner's cherished family treasures made the property appealing and fun to stay in with plenty of room, a trampoline and tree swing in a large park-like back yard. We had a car, so getting to/from area sites took only about 10-20 minutes (depending on traffic) and was a nice retreat from the bustle of DC. It is only minutes from Georgetown which we found to be one of our favorite places with excellent restaurants, shops and college town energy. The home is well stocked with all the kitchen tools/appliances we needed when we did decide to eat in. Owner was accommodating and helpful when we needed her. Overall this property exceeded our expectations and we would go back again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this charming farmhouse. It is filled with lovely details. The decor is 19th century and has been thoughtfully put together, the furniture is clean and comfortable. There is a wonderful front porch with cushioned wicker furniture and a ceiling fan. It was the perfect spot to sit and sip morning coffee while watching the birds flit about the yard and the bees fly to and fro from their hive. The bamboo, bushes, and trees give you a real sense of privacy even though you are on a busy street. It has a private backyard with a patio as well. It grew on us more each day and we felt truly comfortable here. There are beautiful wood floors and oriental rugs. I particularly loved the upstairs bathroom with the cedar planking and the clawfoot tub. There were plenty of clean pillows, blankets, and towels. The house was stocked with paper towels, toilet, paper, laundry detergent, extra sponges, soap, etc. There was ample parking for at least three cars which was hard to find in this area. We were a 20 to 25 minute ride from downtown DC and all of its wonderful sights. We saw Mt. Vernon and Arlington National Cemetery as well. It was easy enough to find on street parking downtown so we drove in every day. There are countless restaurants nearby and in the city. There is a Safeway and a Starbucks about a mile away. Our daughter loved staying in the sunny room with all of the windows and the single bed. The house has central air as well as a window AC in the master bedroom which worked wonderfully and was lovely as it was very hot during our stay. The leading to the main entrance would not be good for anyone who is unsteady on their feet or handicapped. The owner was extremely responsive and polite. I hope to return here someday. We ate at: The Matchbox in Capital Hill- Yum, try the Salmon Namaste in Alexandria VA- Indian food and cheap cocktails- yum Farmers, Fishers, and Bakers in D.C.- pricy with small sized cocktails but very good and right on the Potomac The Irish Inn at Glenn Echo- nice pub, good food, Oyamel Mexican Restaurant in DC- good prices, great food, fun butterfly theme, cool cocktails. Olazzo Italian in Bethesda, great food, a bit pricy but maybe the best food we had.

The house is in a perfect location! It only takes 20 min to D.C, Arlington Va. My kids enjoyed the trampoline and swing. The dogs are running free in the yard because the house is gated. Katharine is a very nice lady. I would recommend this house.

Our family of 5 had a really lovely stay here this week. We were worried that it would be too far from downtown, that being old it might be musty, that being on MacArthur Blvd it might be loud. None of these fears proved true. It is an easy drive to Georgetown and downtown. It's a pleaaant atmosphete and it is quiet. It also has a very big backyard that our kids loved. And the owners were very accommodating. We have been to DC many times as visitors since we moved away from the area as residents several years ago. This was our favorite stay so far.
