This was the perfect "home base" for us to explore the DC area! The cottage was pristine,with everything we could possible need, and our hosts were great to communicate with. We only used our car 3 times in 5 days as the metro into DC was only a 12 minute walk. Our experience was excellent in every way

This was our second stay here, since we came last fall during the government shutdown. This time we got to visit and see EVERYTHING we came for, and this cottage could not have been a better base for us. The proximity to the Metro was one of the key factors in our choice the first time, but this return visit was a no-brainer. Such a comfortable place, with everything we needed. The bed was super comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and easy to use. Having two bathrooms was great. Our hosts did a great job of preparing a wonderful place to stay. Thank you!
