Great Vacation House

This beautiful house was exactly as described in the listing. The decor throughout was lovely and the beds were very comfortable. We felt so welcome and comfortable during our stay. The homeowner made sure the kitchen had all the appliances, cookware, glassware, utensils, etc. needed to prepare and enjoy our meals. Plus we were close to many local DC attractions. My family and I especially enjoyed the backyard pool. We would definitely stay here again.
