Private retreat minutes from GW P/way, DC, airport

Very private retreat in the middle of McLean, VA, 10 min, one traffic light Georgetown, K St, 5 min 495, 20 min to IAD Dulles, 15 DCA National, 5 min Tysons, 15 min Old Town Alexandria. Down a private rd near the Potomac & GW Parkway, cross a bridge & see the home, set on an acre, surrounded by around 10 acres of streamside woodlands & flood plain. Wildlife aplenty, almost rural

I will be available 24/7, and will take care of odd tasks that need regular work, such as lawn maintenance, wood for the two fireplaces etc.

Peaceful setting close to everything

We loved the yard, setting and neighborhood for this stay. It was convenient to DC and many shops and restaurants, as well. The house had most everything we needed including for kitchen and laundry. The bed was comfortable and sleeping was peaceful.

Busy DC Days/Relaxing Nights in McLean

Perfect place to stay when visiting DC. We were about 20 minutes from downtown but felt like we were at a retreat when we were at the house. Loved sitting by the fire outside and listening/watching the wildlife. Saw all kind of birds & a buck and doe were grazing every morning. House had plenty of room for all of us. Grocery & restaurants nearby, we cooked most of our dinners at the house and had everything we needed. Cam is an excellent host and was available whenever we had any questions.

Family memories

We needed a place for 8 of us to be with our son who lives in Baltimore over the holidays. We choose this place due to being only 20-40 mins from DC with a variety of things to do. We had our son's two dogs with us and they had plenty of yard and space to move around. We were able to make a big Christmas dinner for 12 there and a few other meals at the house easily. Cameron was easy to get a hold of and help explain the pellet stove and stovetop. There are enough rooms and comfortable beds for everyone. A great space to stay.

Beautiful, peaceful location

Beautiful, peaceful, wooded location close to DC. We saw a fox right up next to the house. Lots of windows to enjoy the views. Interesting decor although house could use some updating. We did struggle figuring out how to heat various rooms and the staircase to the basement is tricky for the very young, the very old, and those with bad balance, but other than that the house was comfortable and worked well for our needs. Cameron was a wonderful host and went out of his way to make our stay great.

Very nice place

We enjoyed our stay with a few hiccups. It was spacious and pretty set in the woods. The bridge leading to the driveway was a little scary at first. We went to the nearby Walmart to get groceries so we could cook while there. The grill outside looked like it had not been cleaned in a long time and the utensils next to it were all dirty and full of spiderwebs so we did not grill out the burgers we bought. There was no cookie sheet or pan to make our fries so we had to use tin foil and had to use tin foil for our pizza as there was a pizza pan but it was too big to fit in the oven. There was a tv in the main bedroom but it did not work. We killed 12 bugs during our five day stay. I know it is set in a woodsy area but that was a little much. The water pressure in the main bathroom shower upstairs was not great.

Property has an amazing beautiful yard. Very secluded and a little stream running through it. Very quiet and relaxing. The house is very unique with abundant glass giving expansive views of the yard. The furnishings are comfortable with very nicely clean and new bathrooms. Bedrooms are comfortable and the beds are super comfortable I would highly recommend this property that is only minutes from the heart of DC. The thing i would improve would be newer gas grill on the deck

Home town vacation

My husband and I needed a place to stay in Mclean while our kitchen floors were refinished and Ranleigh Retreat was within a few miles of our house. Communication with the owner was easy and the house was clean and had a well-stocked kitchen which was a welcome surprise. The house is older, rustic, and located near Pimmit Run. The road leading to the house is wide enough for one vehicle and the bridge is rather narrow. That said, we had no issues getting to the property. We had a good stay and I appreciate the excellent communication with the owner.

Great Location

We visited DC for a few days and this house was in a great spot to be close enough to all of the sights in DC but far enough to enjoy the peace and quiet with a great yard for our dog to enjoy. Plenty of space for a family of 4 and my teen daughter appreciated having her own private bathroom. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect place to stay in order to enjoy all the Nation's Capital has to offer. Private, scenic, yet, somehow, in the heart of everything. Cam did a great job with outline the check-in and check-out process. As well as, was always available for questions and help. Would definitely stay again!

Incredible stay, sad to leave

We absolutely loved this property. The home is located over a private bridge on an acre property. Check-in was flawless. The home was super clean. The house is a large ranch with plenty of room for family and entertaining friends. The deck is big and is located right off of the kitchen so it's easy to eat dinner outside. The home is very comfortable and well-appointed. The kitchen has high end appliances and the washer and dryer downstairs are new and large. The house is located close to many DC and Virginia attractions and neighborhoods. .

Gorgeous

We spent a week here and it was wonderful. The house is beautiful and so is the landscape. We woke up every morning to deer and even a fox in the yard. There is no fence in the yard and pretty steep drop offs around the property so be mindful of children and pets. Otherwise it was a great stay. We would love to stay again!

Peaceful, natural setting close to everything.

This home was the perfect setting for me and my family to stay while we were in town for my husband's funeral at Arlington National Cemetery. The location was perfect because it is close to Dulles (picking up/dropping off family members flying in for the service) and the cemetery. The house is comfortable and spacious making it perfect for a gathering after the service. I couldn't have asked for better.

Wonderful!!

The location is ideal! It is secluded and quiet, yet close to amenities. The house is immaculate and stocked with every day items (including clothes hangers and any type of kitchen utensil you might need) that makes the stay comfortable and easy. The top-notch sheets and plush, over-size towels are just an example of the owner going the extra mile to make our stay so comfortable! It is a perfect house to enjoy for short term or long term. We will definitely stay here again!!
