Secluded Family Home 15 Miles To DC

Beautiful house, great group accommodation.Our scout troop rented this property for a 5 night stay for 17 people while touring DC attractions. Beautiful home, super clean, very spacious and comfortable. Photos on the listing are quite accurate, as is the property description. While there are other houses fairly close, the property feels very secluded due to surrounding woods and fencing. House is in a very convenient location. Huge shopping center with multiple grocery stores and restaurants is 2 minutes away. Easy highway access. Major Metro station less that 10 minutes away.As other reviewers noted, this is a primary residence, not a rental-only or vacation property. The owners do have their things in the drawers and closets, and food in the fridge and pantry. However, we did not have any issues with that, we still had plenty of room for our things. With a group of 17 there was still plenty of room in the main fridge and freezer for our food. There was also a second fridge in the basement kitchen. The only negative was the hot tub was dirty and not really in a usable state. Not an issue for us, we did not plan to use it anyway. If you want to rent this property with the expectation of using the hot tub, I would suggest checking with the owner on the status of it. The propane grill was also in kind of rough shape, but we used the wood pellet smoker/grill and it worked fine.Highly recommend this property, would definitely stay there again.

Great location. Amazing home. Easy access to the metro and other local attractions. Only complaint was the hot tub was not usable and the floors were really sticky. Other than that I would stay here again if visiting the area in the future.

Very impressed with the quietness and seclusion of the property and it's nearness to downtown Washington DC and the Metro. We enjoyed our stay very much

Arriving with 14-15 adults with plans to stay and eat meals at the home only to find a tiny small apartment sized empty refrigerator in the basement and a shared kitchen refrigerator that had no freezer space and inadequate storage because of the owner’s family food and open condiments was a bit gross and very odd and upsetting for nearly $6k for just a weekend, The owners ask you to put your accumulated garbage (15 people create many bags) into your car and drive it around the block to put it in garbage cans located down a very steep hill. We declined that request and left it neatly in the garage. There should be sufficient garbage retention at the house not a need to drive it. The house was not very clean- dirty children socks under and in basement sofas, for example. Overall, it is very cluttered- like nothing is ever thrown away and the owner collects yard sale finds …cracked cups/playes, a ton of dusty nick knacks ..it is very lived in and anxiety producing as a result of the clutter Otherwise bedroom and sleeping space is good. Basement toilet broke but owner was quick to get a plumber there (saying it happens often). If it were less cluttered, cleaner and had an empty fridge and freezer and garbage containers, it would have been 4 stars overall as it is a unique property for a large group to gather. Won’t hit 5 stars in my opinion as I own a VBRO and rent them often and I expect more.

We had a group of middie school students and parents visiting DC for a few days! This home was a great refuge from the busy city and provided everything we needed. We are grateful for the opportunity to stay in this home!

This was a awesome house to stay at. Very clean and in a safe place. Our Marine Corps Reunion was a success and if we're ever back. We will be staying back there if we're allowed. Thank you so much.

The property location and size were great and as described. It had a lot of space and the large dining table was great for our group to gather at for meals and games. The hot tub was clean and in great condition. I wish the weather had cooperated more, as the outside porch and deck are amazing and would have been great to spend more outdoors time on them. That said, we had two major issues with this property. First, the listing is not clear that this is a family home, and is lived in full time. All closets, rooms, fridge, etc. contain the family's belongings. It's just good to know that going in, as it was a little uncomfortable for some of us knowing that the family had vacated for our pleasure. Second, while at first pass the home was clean, it became clear that a thorough, deep cleaning is needed badly. Kitchen pans, utensils and drawers were dirty; trash cans were moldy under the trash bags; air vent had black dirt / dust covering it. Bathroom floors and baseboards need a good cleaning, as does the soap dish which had mold growing on bottom side. There were some food scraps on the floor and - surprisingly - 5 baked potatoes in the oven. I corresponded with the owner after we left and he was very apologetic and said he would get these things taken care of. I really hope he does because it is a fantastic location and great large space for a gathering.

My family lives distance apart since 2005 in where it made it seem impossible for our schedules to align to be able to be together. I have been praying for years to the good Lord to bring us all together one day and this was the season. When we began to discuss plans my oldest daughter and I began researching properties for our stay and we both found this beautiful property. The home is warm, full of the Spirit of Love and is perfect for large family gatherings. It is perfectly situated in a secluded area and is just minutes from DC. The shopping center is just around the corner as well. The Lord exceeded my expectations as this home made my family reunion a blessed, fun, anointed and loving experience. Whenever out plans call for the DMV area we surely will look to this property again

This property was so perfect for our needs. So much room for all of our family to be comfortable. We came to lay my husband to rest at Arlington. The metro was so close. Some of my adult children used it to get from airport to the Springfield stop. It made it so convenient to pick them up. We all used it to go into DC and check out the sights. So many options so close for food shopping and eating. This home is warm and inviting! Loved the hammock in the yard.

Great home to bring your entire family so that your kids and grandkids can be together under one roof.
