Forest Glen
We really enjoyed learning about the area of Forest Glen. The house itself was nice. The kitchen had everything we needed. We really appreciated the Starbucks coffee! The water was nice and hot and the water pressure was amazing. We enjoyed looking through the booksThe check in/out process was seamless. One strong recommendation I have is the mattresses and pillows in all three bedrooms need to be replaced. They were not comfortable for any of us Thank you :-)

Super dusty
There's some false advertising - the futon is unusable, disgustingly dusty. Otherwise: The kitchen and three bathrooms are pristine and nicely redone, the a/c works. Sheets and towels are clean and beds comfortable. The rest of the house has old furniture hidden by slipcovers, dusty and rugs that are dirty. The house is close to the highway and you can smell and hear it loudly outside and patio furniture is not appealing. Yuck I was glad to leave.Longer story: The property is advertised as having a useable futon, so I messaged the manager as soon as I booked the property asking for it to be made up. When we arrived it was not made up, and when unfolded the futon, a cloud of dust rose up from it. I gave it a pat and wow, dust. The floor behind the futon dusty with chips of paint from the baseboard. It had original baseboards so I wondered about lead paint chips and dust. The rug under the futon was yuck. There was a beat up dirty vacuum in the kitchen closet that I took upstairs to vacuum the futon and the area around it. When I was done my clothes, hands and hair were covered in dirt. The vacuum had no carpet or floor attachment, only the small attachment for furniture, so I don't know how they're cleaning the rugs. There were no pillows, blankets or sheets for the futon so I messaged the manager, and two maids came and made up the futon. We were only there only two nights so I let my teen sleep there but yuck, all our clothes went straight into the washing machine. Gross.

Fairytale Cottage
We were visiting from Florida and South Carolina. The home was perfect!!! Only .8 miles from the metro station and it had so much room. We came to see the capital and the Smithsonian buildings. We had a hreat time! The owner has a booklet in the home with everything you could want to know. The kitchen and bathrooms looked like they have all been updated. The bedrooms were comfortable and had plenty of room for allbof our stuff. Across the street there is a place that looks like a castle and another that is a pagoda. It felt like a fairytale setting. Lovely home with a great owner. I would recommend stayingvhere.

Lovely stay in beautiful Forest Glen Haven
Thank you to our host for sharing your lovely Forest Glen Haven with my daughter and me. The neighborhood was beautiful, and the view of a Swiss Chalet and Pagaoda was a pleasant surprise. We hope to return someday to explore this area more. I am a horse lover, so I enjoyed the equestrian memorabilia. We had everything we needed and a short drive to visit family.

Our stay was perfect at the house. It was easy to travel into DC and back even multiple times a day, access was excellent. The home itself was spacious, clean, in a cute and quiet neighborhood, and communication was prompt and easy. I look forward to staying again on our next trip.

A total GEM!
What a gem! My family of 4 had an amazing stay at Forest Glen Haven. Having grown up in Silver Spring, I am familiar with the area and was excited to get to stay across from the old seminary. The neighborhood is awesome-- we enjoyed taking the self-guided walking tour of the former seminary grounds, got to learn about the history of the area, and loved how close Rock Creek Park was-- just a short walk along the Ireland Trail takes you right to Rock Creek Trail. Sniders Superstore is within walking distance (1 mile) right down the road (almost all on a sidewalk) and the Forest Glen Metro Station is only 1 mi/ a 20 minute walk in the opposite direction.
The house itself is a beautiful old brick house, built in the style of so many Silver Spring and DC houses. The house is old, but really doesn't show its age, with a modern updated kitchen and two full baths. The beds were amazingly comfortable, the den well-suited to family movie night, the dining room able to seat 8, and the living room perfect for entertaining our local family members. Parking was also fantastic as the driveway can comfortably fit 3 cars, 4 if you plan ahead, and that is a super-find for this neighborhood with narrow streets and limited street parking. We did have 1 house issue that the host responded to immediately and handled so well.
All in all we loved our stay and would 100% recommend it for anyone in the area! The host, Miranda, was extremely responsive and welcoming. We were so sad to leave but will
