The cottage is even nicer in person than the pics online! That doesn’t always happen. It’s spotlessly clean and beautifully appointed. Everything you could possibly need was provided from a well stocked kitchen to a basket of toiletries. Bed was very comfy and we slept well. The neighborhood is gorgeous and we were able to park on the street right next to the path to the cottage. 15 minute walk to the metro to anywhere in DC. When messaged with a question, Geneva responded right away and even stopped by to help us oldies figure out the tv lol! The remote controlled shades made it nice and dark for sleeping. When up the cottage is filled with light and views of the well tended grounds. We met Geneva and Peter as we were packing the car for home and had a lovely chat. Easy to talk with. Highly recommend!

Perfect stay

What a great find! Just outside of DC and all the noise in a quiet and beautiful nook. EVERYTHING ( more) you could want or need in a home away from home setting. Very clean and modern stay. Walking distance for dining, shopping, etc. if you choose. Great communication by the host! Wished we could have stayed longer to enjoy it more.

This Vrbo was outstanding in every way. The property was exactly as described — clean, comfortable, and extremely well maintained. Everything was set up thoughtfully, and it’s clear the host puts care into making sure guests have a great stay.The location was perfect, the amenities were excellent, and the entire process — from booking to check-out — was smooth and easy. It was relaxing, enjoyable, and one of the best travel experiences I’ve had. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a quality place to stay.

Beautiful cottage in a fabulous neighborhood

Great stay! The cottage was adorable, modern, and very clean and comfortable. It was more spacious than I imagined and is located in the heart of Arlington. It sits on one of the most quiet streets in the neighborhood, despite being walking distance to Clarendon/Ballston restaurants and multiple metro stops. I'm thrilled that I found this hidden gem and plan to stay there for future trips to the area.

Quaint, quiet neighborhood charm

This cottage is a perfect 1-2 person hidden gem in the suburbs of DC. Convenient to the Metro if you need to get around town and easy walking distance to the shops and restaurants in Arlington. The house itself is well-appointed, modern and impeccably decorated. I was so impressed with the attention to detail that the hosts put in to this property. From the snacks, coffee, toiletries, etc., I had everything I needed (including a few things I ran out of and/or forgot to pack) which saved me a trip to the store. I would highly recommend this for a single business traveler or couple looking to explore DC without the hassle and expense of a downtown hotel. 10/10!

Back for another stay

This was my second stay at this cute property. It was even better than the first time since I really got to enjoy the neighborhood with a longer stay. Was in for a graduation in DC and having the space and quiet, peaceful surroundings more than made up for the slightly longer commute or a hotel room. Arlington is a great area and we walked to dinner twice. The house is so well equipped that you could have an extended stay comfortably.. Highly recommend!

Clean and peaceful!

We loved staying at Geneva and Peter’s Cottage! We stayed at the cottage for a conference in Washington, DC, and it was a perfect place to stay! The cabin was impeccably clean, and very well stocked with anything that you may need! We had plenty of clean towels and sheets for our stay. There is also a fully stocked kitchen, and the appliances are updated. The cabin is close to parking by the street, and safe with a lock on the door. The surrounding neighborhood is lovely, quiet, and very safe. The cottage is very peaceful, tucked away in a beautiful garden area. We watched movies on the TV, and the WiFi was high-speed for a work trip. Geneva and Peter were very welcoming and kind! They provided extra sheets and pillowcases for the fold-out couch that we used. The bed and pull out couch was very comfortable for our stay! They were very accommodating and kind. We highly recommend staying at the cottage, and would love to book on our next trip to DC!

Great stay

Clean and comfortable. Well stocked. We cooked a few breakfasts and found the pans and utensils to be in great shape. Appliances and climate control easy to use. Host extremely responsive. We stayed four nights with no car, easily walking to the Metro and a variety of good restaurants (we are seniors). That said, I docked one star from location because I would have preferred the Metro and restaurants to be a few blocks closer considering how much walking we did visiting tourist sites in DC. We did anticipate this somewhat so I acknowledge it may be unfair of me to dock that star. The neighborhood is lovely and really nice to walk in. Good shower and comfortable bed and linens. Really nothing we did not like.
