Absolutely wonderful place to have our wedding.
I cannot say enough fantastic things about our time at the Duvall House. The house was the perfect location for our small wedding in the back patio, and the lodging was perfect for our families who came in from out of town. The house itself is chock full of great talking points, ambiance, and the location cannot be beat just blocks away from the main part of Old Town. And the host Chris is the best host you could ask for, helping to set the house up appropriately for our special day. Cannot recommend this place enough!

We had a wonderful stay at the Duvall House! This historic gem truly takes you back in time, commemorating the legacy of George Washington. The experience of staying here was unparalleled - it felt like stepping into a piece of living history. The ambiance was charming and inviting, perfect for our small working group retreat. The house is well-equipped for gatherings, and the cozy atmosphere made it ideal for intimate dinners. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience!

Charming Comfortable Clean
If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable and charming home in the heart of Old Town and minutes from DC, look no further. Tucked behind City Hall and steps from vibrant King Street, the house offers a quiet place to relax and sleep yet is only a few minutes walk to charming shops and restaurants and a very short drive to DC museums. The host could not be more gracious and easy to work with.

Wedding Weekend
We brought the family to VA/MD for a weekend wedding. The venue was at Oxon Hill Manor which was a short 15min ride. Many of the guests were at Hotel Indigo just a short walk from the house which provided us easy access to all the events around the wedding. The house was in immaculate with many historic pieces throughout. We travelled with our 2 adult children and the property was more than comfortable for 4. We were only a block or 2 from the Potomac, shops and fantastic restaurant options as well. There was plenty of parking in the area but we used Uber to easily travel to all destinations. The Old Town neighborhood was a terrific place to visit and Chris’ property was the perfect spot for us. We plan to return and highly recommend it for others

Revolutionary Era/Modern Conveniences
From start to finish the hosts were accommodating with all requests. Duvall House displays an interesting collection of historical artwork, furniture and decor. The AC cooled the premises even though the temperature reached high 90s. The kitchen was well equipped. The location was within walking distance to the pier. We have stayed in several other historic homes but none of them had the same mix of history and modern “necessities”. The home was unusually quiet for a historical home. I highly recommend it to families with students studying American history. We hope to return and hold a luncheon in the ballroom.

Just wow…
We are history buffs and this couldn’t have been a better property. Both for the location and for the house itself. We felt like we were going back in time but with modern conveniences. The location saved us money on car rental as we didn’t need one as well. The hosts were responsive and helped in so many ways. We will be back.

Absolutely Perfect!
What an amazing property! Chris was a FANTASTIC host. The house was perfect for my family that came into town visiting me for a military celebration. The location is so safe and with street parking right in front, made it easy to load/unload, especially with a baby. The space was immaculately clean and pet friendly. Even though it was historic, it had all the modern amenities we could ever want, including a much appreciated air conditioning. Also, the ground floor bedroom and bath for my father was perfect. The property is within walking distance of EVERYTHING in Alexandria and it was so nice not to have to worry about driving. We ate at a lovely Italian restaurant only a block away and then my family explored the riverfront. We also took advantage of being so close to the Torpedo factory and another restaurant right on the riverfront with outdoor dining that was also dog friendly. Chris went above and beyond with a lovely welcome basket, informative historic book, and facilitated two street parking passes. We also used parking in the garages that were extremely close/reasonably priced. Chris even made sure the sleeping arrangements were as we had requested (two additional blow up beds and even a crib provided). It was stress free not having to worry about linens and toweling. When we accidentally left a necklace (he noticed first), Chris reached out immediately and mailed it. Thank you for making such a memorable stay for my family and I would absolutely book again!
