We found the Cottage on a Hill to be ideally located for us to visit family and see the sights. A big plus is that the neighborhood is a quiet, tree-lined oasis that is perfect for walking. Several park district paths for walking, running, and cycling are only two blocks south of the house.The Cottage is exquisite, with hardwood floors, a large dining room, spacious bedrooms, and very nice bathrooms. We enjoyed cooking on the gas range and we appreciated the large refrigerator/freezer. Our stay was four days, but this is a property that would be ideal for longer.Finally, working with Edwardwas unusually easy. He communicates openly and swiftly and the check-in and check-out were smooth and simple — way above expectations.

I recently stayed at Edward’s cottage for a couple of nights while visiting the area with my husband, father, brother, and dog. We had a really nice stay and the property was lovely. Great location, comfortable furniture and rooms, well equipped and stocked with anything you might need. Edward is a great host and very responsive and communicative. We had a great time and hope to visit again someday!

We were so happy with our stay. The location is outstanding and very close to the beltway and easy access to the metro and all that DC has to offer. The unit itself is in fantastic condition and it is clear that the owner has spent some money on upgrades. Communication the host was unbelievable and we’ll definitely be back. The only comment (not a criticism) is that there are quite a few steps from the parking area up to the unit, so it would not be ideal for those who have mobility issues.

The house has everything you could possibly need to feel right at home! Everything was amazingly clean, and the house as well as the decor was beautiful. The host is very friendly and provided a welcome book that had all the details and instructions about the home as well as information about nearby things to do! This is the first time I've stayed in a home where I didn't once have to reach out to the host to ask where anything was because the host made sure it was all in the book!

Great stay in DC area

Wow! We've rented lots of places in the US and EU. This cottage and her owner rank among the best. The home was SPOTLESS and very comfortable. Our boys (5 & 7) couldn't wait to leave every DC attraction and enjoy the afternoon and evening in the cottage.
