Historical Georgetown Modern Penthouse 12 min DCA

KarthikRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Really nice apartment in a great neighborhood. Comfortable rooms, kitchen and bathroom. The only thing to be aware of is the need to climb two flights of stairs. Can be a challenge for elderly people. Otherwise this is a great place to stay in Georgetown

Historical Home in Old Town Alexandria

MarisaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

A+++ Host Great location Fun house I misunderstood and thought there were four bedrooms instead of three bedrooms with a ballroom that could be turned into a bedroom but didn’t have a door. Nevertheless, we were wonderfully comfortable and we had a fantastic host.

Lord & Patrick House at Old Town

AnitaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

This was a great location for our family vacation to Washington D.C. It is so close to the Metro, and there are a ton of shops and restaurants in walking distance. We had some minor issues come up, but Philip was quick to respond and fix things when possible. Only negative is that the house is right off the main road, so road noise can be an issue if you are a light sleeper. Otherwise, a great stay, and we would definitely go back!

Fabulous Private Potomac Waterfront Retreat

EdwardRating, 5 stars5 months ago

This is a lovely and spacious home in a beautiful setting along the Potomac River. We enjoyed sitting on the back deck with our morning coffee or in the evening, watching the sun set or the deer along the river. Those views were also available in the spacious living room facing the deck. The kitchen was well appointed, which we always appreciate when cooking meals in and the beds and linens were nice and comfortable. There were games available in the closet and my adult kids enjoyed setting up and playing badminton on the back lawn. Sylvia was a wonderful host that communicated clearly and was very helpful. We will look forward to coming back some time in the future.

Cozy Water View Retreat on the Occoquan near D.C.

JonathanRating, 5 stars1 week ago

I cannot say enough good things about this stay! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by the stunning interior design. Every detail of the decor felt so thoughtfully curated—stylish, modern, and cozy all at once. The color palette was soothing, the furniture was both beautiful and comfortable, and the space had this perfect blend of charm and functionality. It truly felt like stepping into a boutique hotel, but with all the comfort and warmth of home. The lighting, artwork, and even the small decorative touches made it feel incredibly special. You can tell a lot of love and intention went into designing this space. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates great design and wants a memorable, aesthetic stay. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The Henry House | 1790 Charm w/ Modern Day Luxury

JohnRating, 5 stars5 days ago

We loved our stay here. It was perfect for our family of five. The location is spectacular. Alexandria is great to walk around, with lots of great restaurants, and it is an easy and quick trip to DC. The house was spotless and comfortable - a great blending of old and new. Amy is a great host. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back here and recommend it to others.

Serene Riverside Basement Suite in Manassas

RaulRating, 5 stars4 months ago

We were visiting family in the area and needed a place for us and our two dogs. We loved the place as it had everything we needed. We didn’t stay in much as we were mainly out and about. We enjoy hiking so it was great to have some trails near us. We didn’t spend too much time outside in the back yard because it was too cold that weekend but it’s super nice. Ameen was very responsive and I highly recommend his space.

Eagle's Nest at Mason Neck

ShayliRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Such a perfect, beautiful retreat! The space is so clean, nicely decorated and has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. This place is tucked away from town but still super convenient location with close access to shops, restaurants and the highway. Casey was extremely accommodating and hospitable. We stayed here for about a week and it felt like a home away from home. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for peace and quiet and lovely surroundings.

Lodi's place is in the most amazing area of Georgetown, it is a quick walk to the university, or to Clyde's which is my son's fave watering hole! Very receptive and answered all questions/concerns immediately. The value of this place is A+++ because of the location, it's really wonderful. I will stay there again!

Erika was a responsive and friendly host for a great trip. The apartment is an absolute gem and an amazing deal! The place is very clean and well decorated, and has a beautiful view over the Potomac River where you can watch planes lift off. I was also a fan of the giraffe art. I would highly recommend anyone who needs a place in the DC area to stay here.

Stylishly Renovated Home in Old Town Alexandria

CoreyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

My husband and I stayed with our two middle-school-aged children for a week and found it to work perfectly for our needs. It was an easy walk to the metro, and the noise didn't bother us. We shopped daily at Whole Foods. We had a couple of minor issues that were quickly resolved. I would stay in this location again. The parking is a bit difficult on Mondays and Tuesdays due to the street sweeper rules, but with patience, we found parking.

Luxurious Georgetown Riverfront

JaymiRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We loved this home! The location can’t be beat! A 5 min walk to the heart of Georgetown. The views of the river were spectacular. We enjoyed hanging out by the fire pit, roasting marshmallows. The inside of the home was better than the pictures showed. Especially the second floor living room/bar! Straight out of of a design magazine. The beds were comfortable and had high quality linens. The bathrooms were beautiful. The balconies on each floor allowed fantastic views of the river. You can even see the monuments lit up in the distance. This home deserves to be a guest favorite! We would definitely stay here again!
