I cant rave enough about the location. If you are a biology nerd you are going to love this place. Ive never seen so many butterflies and we caught catfish off of the dock. Also if you are a fossil hunter there are some great sites within driving distance. This is the first rental property my friends and I have visited twice.

Wildlife

Such a cute little house and the most beautiful property. We saw deer, turkeys, butterflies and birds of all kinds. We watched the most beautiful sunsets every evening. Plus we were close to DC to see all history.

Great nature getaway

This property has a beautiful private outdoor set-up that we thoroughly enjoyed. A walk along the boardwalk through the marshy pond area was always rewarded with a great Blue Heron sighting. We spent hours each morning on the dock watching 2 pair of bald eagles in the trees across the river with the binoculars provided by the host. The river was quiet, the neighborhood is rural and deer filled. The house had everything we needed.

This was exactly what we were looking for. Relaxing and peaceful and we were still able to enjoy the sites around the area. Will need to come back when the weather is warmer to enjoy the water more.

Hidden Nature Getaway Near the Big City

Just so unexpected that this peaceful, quiet,beautiful, natural, and preserved environment could exist at the end of a small semi-rural community less than half an hour away from Washington DC. A hidden treasure for those who enjoy being near nature and also having comfortable and safe lodging. Exceptionally clean and well stocked with lots of hospitality.

Great Experience

Amazing location for nature lovers. Friendly property owners. We were there to see DC and the numerous historic sites around the area, but we spent one day just enjoying the property and the river. The house provides several Kayaks and a Canoe. This might not be the optimum location for those more comfortable in a modern downtown condo, but was absolutely perfect for us.
