You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Fully renovated 1800s Carriage House seamlessly blends history w/modern luxury.

Step into history with this beautifully renovated 1800s carriage house, seamlessly blending classic charm with modern convenience.

Located just steps from Wisconsin Avenue in Cleveland Park, you’ll enjoy easy access to a variety of restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, and more. The home is also just two blocks from the National Cathedral and offers a quick and convenient commute to downtown D.C.—whether by door-to-door bus service, a short walk to the Metro (less than a mile away), or a 10-minute drive.

On the top floor, you'll find:

A spacious bedroom with two queen beds, a skylight (complete with a remote-controlled shade for those who prefer a darker morning), and dual closets.
A second bedroom featuring a king bed, a twin daybed, and a closet.

A Jack-and-Jill full bathroom, conveniently connecting both bedrooms for direct access.

On the first floor, you'll find:

A modern yet cozy living room with a fold-down couch that converts into a full-size bed. The room’s exposed original beams and ceilings beautifully complement a mix of period antiques and contemporary furniture. Enjoy a 65" TV and premium sound system for entertainment.

A fully equipped kitchen and dining area, complete with a table for six, an induction cooktop, a Keurig coffee machine, cookware, plates, and glassware—plus a thoughtful selection of welcome snacks.

A full bathroom with a bathtub and shower.
Outdoor & Additional Amenities

A private outdoor patio with seating for six and a propane BBQ for your enjoyment.

A washer and dryer conveniently located on the second floor.

This carriage house is the perfect blend of historic character and modern comfort, offering a unique and welcoming space in an unbeatable location. Originally part of the Rosedale Estate—the oldest surviving home in Washington, D.C.—this storied residence once welcomed many of our nation’s Founding Fathers, offering a rare connection to American history.

Tucked Away Carriage House

Roomy and comfortable carriage house tucked away in a beautiful DC neighborhood. The house is fully renovated, and in an ideal location for visiting other NW neighborhoods and destinations. There were also multiple options for restaurants and food shopping within a short walking distance. We had a wonderful stay!

Perfect Stay

I was very sad that we only had one night at the Varriage House considering that it was the most beautiful place we stayed on our whole trip. Everything was absolutely impeccable from the details in the kitchen to the gorgeous neighborhood where it's located. The beds were absolutely so comfortable and the couch was equally as cozy. Thank you so much. Next time I'm in DC I hope to stay again.

AMAZING place

The BEST VRBO I have ever seen. First, it's surprisingly large. Second, it's newly renovated and has every modern convenience and two bathrooms. Like, every single modern convenience you could think of. Third, it's really cute and decorated with antiques that match the house's time period. Last, it's conveniently located and walking distance to stores. Really special.
