The angle the pictures are taken at for the living room make it look much bigger than it is, but it was more than sufficient for our needs. There were a couple things that could be improved that I will message the host about, but nothing that would keep me from staying there again, should we ever get a group to go back to DC.

We had a group of students and parents stay in the home for 4 days. The home was large, clean, comfortable, and very well stocked! The neighborhood is charming, and we felt very safe walking to the metro, grocery store, and walking trail. We used the walking trail to get to the National Mall most days. The kitchen was the best set up we have found in 10 years of taking a small group of 8th-graders on their 8th-grade trip. The home is a great value for the price!

A breathtaking, all-inclusive retreat we’ll be back!From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how beautiful the home is. The log construction completely transports you to a different state of mind the craftsmanship and warm ambiance are simply stunning. The views are fantastic, and the space itself is incredibly generous; it truly has everything you could possibly need and then some.The hot tub was absolutely perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration, and the entertainment options were a hit with everyone pool table, a great collection of games, and more kept us entertained for hours. The home is spacious, well-equipped, and thoughtfully stocked with essentials, so we felt at home right away.Patrick, the host, is top-tier. Having traveled frequently, I can honestly say I’ve never had a host like him. He’s down-to-earth, genuinely cares about your experience, and goes above and beyond to ensure you have a fantastic vacation. It’s clear his goal is for you to have an outstanding time, and he nails it.Overall, an all-around excellent stay. We will definitely be back.

Overall the place was very nice and convenient for our group of 6 adults. We particularly enjoyed the front porch and terrace/yard area. TV in the common area was small for the space but we weren't there to watch TV. The only discrepancy to note is that the listing says 11AM check out and a 10AM check out was communicated everywhere else. Surrounding area felt safe.

Centrally located wonderful vacation home!

We were a group of 4 families with a mix of kids ranging from 5-12yrs and adults. The Home was very clean upon arrival and well stocked with everything needed for our stay. Communicating with Trina through the App was very easy and she also provided her cellphone to contact her with any issues. The location was perfect for visiting the national mall and museums. We couldn't be happier. Would certainly recommend for a large group to family and friends.

Beds were comfortable. Extra of everything like blankets, towels and toilet paper. Would have liked the extra touch of a water jug for the kerig machine. Other than that it was perfect!

We had a great stay, it was myself and my husband plus our 3 kids (12,12,14) and it was a perfect place to stay. Everyone had their own beds and rooms, the neighborhood was quiet, we made friends with the awesome employees at the Union Market and it was a simple 10 minute walk to the metro. Highly recommend if your staying in DC with your family and you plan on exploring.

Long Weekend Family Meetup

Good property for a long weekend meetup with family. Location was good; about a 10-15 minute walk from the Metro, grocery stores, and restaurants. Kitchen was simplistic and functional and we made do with what was available. Bedrooms were good and included necessary items. Bathrooms were also functional but only included the bare minimum such as 1 bottle of shampoo and very few towels. Laundry was available, but was communicated at check-in that it was pay-per-load which was a bit disappointing.Overall a decent VRBO that with a bit of TLC could be outstanding.
