Relaxing gateway

The privacy of the property allows for a truly relaxing getaway, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, while the nearby area offers options for restaurants and shops. This property is perfect for nature lovers who also desire maximum comfort.I would especially recommend this residence to families or couples seeking a rejuvenating experience in front of the majestic Potomac River. The hosts were exceptional, attentive to every detail to ensure our stay was perfect. Without a doubt, we look forward to returning and enjoying this beautiful natural retreat again.

Sister Trip

My sisters joined me for a gathering. Some of us stayed at the waterfront home and others stayed at National Harbor, but we floated between the two. The peacefulness and Zen of the waterfront home was much needed and restful. Everyone enjoyed the stay and the memories that were created. If the house wasn't so big, I would just take time to book it for my husband and myself, even though we live in the area.

Family New Year’s Vacation

This house was everything we needed for our vacation with our adult children. Everyone had plenty of room. The property was clean, well stocked and the beds were extremely comfy. The beautiful view of the river was heightened by all the windows around the house. Definitely recommend. Sylvia was also very attentive and helpful.

Why we LOVED this property!

My friends and I highly recommend Sylvia’s beautiful property. We were able to enjoy DC and other historical sites and then come home and relax with a glass of wine and breathtaking sunsets. We all agreed that this property is designed with visitors' comfort in mind. The home is well-stocked, with shampoo and conditioner in all four bathrooms, books, games, and everything (minus food and drink) you would need in a kitchen! Thank you, Sylvia, for creating a beautiful environment for memory making😁

Beautiful property and views!

Just got home from our week+ stay at this beautiful property. It fit our party of 8 (4 adults and 4 tweens/teens) perfectly. We used the house as a home base for many day trips to: Baltimore, National Harbor, Mount Vernon, DC, Annapolis and Luray Caverns. We knew we would be in for a lot of driving when we chose the location, but we may have underestimated the amount of time we’d spend in the car! That being said, the house, itself was great, and Sylvia was very responsive. We saw bald eagles, deer and tree frogs.

Beautiful place away from the hustle and bustle of the city

A wonderful weekend spot away from it all, but still 30 minutes to an hour drive (depending) to Arlington, Alexandria, DC and other tourist areas of Maryland. Great for families with kids and grandparents alike! The place had everything we needed for my older in-laws to my 2 and 4 year olds. I will never forget the stunning view of the sunset over the Potomac. Sylvia was super accommodating and very responsive. The only downside, which may not be a negative for everyone, was the lack of nearby sit down/trendy restaurants. But you have everything you need to cook a meal at the house! 5 stars!

Lovely Fall Home in DC

We stayed here Oct 26-31st. The weather was perfect and fall colors were gorgeous. The property is beautiful, spacious and everything we could have asked for. Being by the water was so great, we caught fish and used the kayaks provided on the Potomac. The view from the house is incredible, sunsets… wow! Perfect location close to downtown DC, National Harbor, Mt. Vernon. So much to do in the area. The communication was excellent from the host. Clean and well stocked home. My husband said, this was the most comfortable bed he has ever slept in. Pillows and towels, very quality. We loved our time there and would love to come back 5+ stars! Thank you so much for letting us stay in your lovely home! - Happy Colorado Family 2022
