It was such a treat to be able to stay here! The location was perfect, a very close drive to I-95, Woodbridge, Lorton, and only a few blocks away from the stores and restaurants in Occoquan. The nature surrounding the house was lovely. The house was very comfortable and the kitchen and laundry room were well equipped with cooking supplies and laundry. detergent. Check in and out was simple and strait forward and our host was very responsive to any questions that we had. The next time we are back in Northern Virginia, we hope to stay here again.

Fred was an excellent, responsive host. He kindly allowed our senior dog (just over the weight limit) to stay and let our parents check in early since the home was ready. After checkout, we realized we’d left something behind—Fred replied immediately and let us return even though the cleaners had already arrived.The location is fantastic: just a short walk down the hill to downtown Occoquan’s shops and restaurants. The large property was great for walking our dogs. There are some outdoor items near the shed, but nothing that interfered with our stay. Families with young children should note there are steep drop-offs along the side of the property with no guardrails.The home was perfect for our quick wedding-weekend trip. It’s older with some charming, worn-in touches, but clean, comfortable, and well-stocked. Sleeping layout: two small main-level bedrooms each with twin trundles, and a huge upstairs bedroom with a queen and a private nook that could be used for work or extra sleeping space.We didn’t use many of the amenities, but there’s plenty of outdoor seating, a grill, and a covered gathering area—great for longer stays.Overall, we loved the house, the location, and the host, and we’d happily stay again!

The house was the perfect quiet hideaway in a quaint little historic town. The layout is quirky but you soon get used to it and it all makes sense. ENORMOUS surrounding green space and perfect patio placement to watch the storms blow through. Well stocked and easy to reset.

What a fun property!

We enjoyed what we started calling ‘the treehouse’. The unique architecture and the setting on a hill in the trees was a welcome retreat from busy NOVA. The owner was responsive and accommodating. We were thankful to be able to bring our pup along and he explored the yard while we picked raspberries and appreciated the multiple outdoor spaces. The house was tastefully decorated and accommodated our party of four quite nicely. The location near town was wonderful for exploring the many restaurants and shops. We hope to come again in the future!

Relaxing but Close to Everything!

Absolutely loved our stay. The property is close to everything, but out of the way so you feel like you are in the woods. The deck off of the master was absolutely wonderful. We were very lucky that we got to see a Firework show perfectly from the comfort of the house. Would definitely stay again!!

Spacious, but Old

Pros: Quite & convenient. Lots of closet space. Spacious. Good kitchen. Cons: MANY non-functional wall switches and lights - poor lighting. MBedRm fan light hanging by electrical wires. Floors dirty. No chests/dressers. Only sham pillows and no top sheets on all beds. "Swamp cooler" (only used in desert climates) in MBedRm - why???? Humidity in 60's. Barely adequate parking for 2 vehicles.

We stayed in Occoquan in the days leading up to a convention in DC. The location was excellent, the town very charming. The house is an older house, which has undergone extensive updates and renovations. There are a few items still to be addressed, but nothing to dampen our stay. We look forward to returning to enjoy nearby kayaking.
