Private Retreat Minutes from Downtown DC and Surrounded by Trails

We will forever have a soft spot for this house, its charming character, and beautiful outdoor space. Our family of five and two pets stayed here for two months while our nearby home was completing a year-long renovation, following 6 uncomfortable months in a 2-bedroom apartment. This house is charming, fun, and just what my family needed. It is quiet, wonderfully located near D.C. and beautiful canal trails I had never explored in my 17 years living in this region. The yard, that was always in some phase of bloom and beauty, was a constant source of joy for our kids (the swing! The trampoline!). The house is private and peaceful. We had everything a family needed for two months in the kitchen and living spaces. Also, Katherine was so kind and easy to communicate with. We would absolutely recommend this space and/or stay here again.

This is a beautiful old house located in a great neighborhood. The backyard was great for our kids and dog.

Visiting family in D.C., we typically stay with family , yet decided to venture out to have more space for us and our 140lb Boerboel. Yet ,wanted something nearby with a fully fenced in yard . This place was perfect . 12 mins to 39th St NW. Fully fenced yard with even a gated driveway ..!! Close to grocery store , walking & biking trails . A very homey place to stay . Owner is incredibly proactive and responsive . Will stay here again when visiting .

Family explored DC and surrounding areas. I wanted my home schooled children to experience DC like I did when I was young. The house gave a perfect ambiance to our history theme for our trip. DC was hard to maneuver so highly recommend downloading the Ober app. It was very convenient and they picked us up at this location no problem. House was great. Thank you Katherine for sharing it with us.

A well equipped and beautiful home, lovely garden. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Was an easy place to find. A beautiful place and neighborhood. Only was there at night resting to hit D.C. daily. Would definitely recommended.

We had such a great time running around in the backyard with our kiddos (5 and 8), and enjoyed the bonus of board games and kids books! Thanks for a great stay

Comfy beds, quaint rooms and extra updated bedroom and bathroom with second shower in basement. (Air mattress) Home was not musty or stiff. Home memorabilia, historic family photos place you in a different era. Easy quick pickup into the city for sightseeing rather than expending all your energy walking to and from the car. (You will still walk a lot in DC) Safe car parking and no close intrusive neighbors, noise or worry about safety/car. Homeowner not in area but not difficult to work with. Great for families, a couple and several adult children or single adults. Porch and backyard sitting areas. I loved it; great value if you’ve checked city prices. Not as far out as you may think. My only alert would be to be careful if arriving at night; some odd angled roads with gps throwing me off and could be dangerous if you don’t know the area or hadn’t seen in daylight. Wonderful stay. Sorry I didn’t get to walk or bike the river path or visit the French bakery.

We completely enjoyed our stay in the house, a perfect spot to get on two bike paths for my husband's commute, and to get into the city; the close by shopping plaza made everything convenient. The big backyard was great for our kids and being able to have our dog with us during our stay made it stress-free. The owners were very helpful and communication was easy. The place is cozy and clean.
