A great spot for a getaway!

My daughter, son-in-law, grandchild, and I stayed for five nights while we visited family and toured some DC sites. The cottage was cozy and we had a great time. The owner was very easy to get in touch with; the information provided was timely and accurate. I highly recommend this rental property!

Comfortable and Clean Cottage in a Great Neighborhood

We loved staying at this property! It is ideally located in a suburban neighborhood with shops and restaurants just a block away. The check-in process was easy, and the host was very responsive throughout our stay. The cottage was immaculate inside and had everything we needed, including a small kitchen and a nice large backyard. The bathroom was very nicely-appointed, and the downstairs bedroom and upstairs loft areas were quite comfortable. We even saw deer roaming the neighborhood in the morning! We highly recommend this place and plan to stay again soon!
