Great location, nice sized mother-in-law accomodations.
Best Vrbo we've ever stayed at. Really good location, we were no more than 20 minutes from anywhere. Lodging - Bed was firm and comfortable, very clean and bright. Only downside was no stovetop, you hhave to cook on a gas grill.

A Pleasant Stay in the DC Area
This place is a small cottage in the back yard of a suburban home. The cottage is very small with a combined bedroom/kitchen and not much room to sit, but there is a large back yard for when the weather is good. The kitchen is limited, but there is an outdoor barbecue which we made use of. Jerry was easy to communicate with, and the price for the DC area was excellent. It would be difficult to stay here without a car.

My Vernon getaway!
We called it “the shed” it really had everything we needed. The host was very kind and responded immediately about us bringing our support dogs. We were only 15 minutes away from Mt Vernon, George Washington’s homestead and this was our main event and attraction! Our dogs were safe and enjoyed the fenced in yard!

My wife and I booked the room for 8 nights paying hoping that it'd be like a motel property. But we're shocked and very upset when we found out that it's a separate room but part of the house sitting in the backyard. We also noticed the owner has dogs which would make it more noisy during our stay. We didn't stay there for even 10 minutes and requested the host for a cancellation. The host denied our request and suggested to contact the cancellation thru Expedia. In exchange, we even offered to pay for a half-day rent but still denied. Later, we contacted the Expedia/Vrbo and had a customer rep verbal chatting on the phone (using the speaker phone) with the host. Still no good. Neither the host nor the Expedia obliged our request. We had a long trip overseas before coming to this place so we're quite exhausted and frustrated. Also, somehow we also missed to add the cancellation warranty as part of the stay. We ended up forfeiting the entire 8 nights rent as we did not want to stay there at all. We decided never to use the host for any future stay! The moral of the story: Never make a reservation for such private location no matter how good it sounds Online comments until you have physically visited the site. Start the reservation with a day, if you like then, you can always extend it later but make sure to add the cancellation warranty. This way, you will only lose the 1 day rent at the worst and won't have to go through all the pain and hassle!!!

Little cottage
We had a great time on our trip and stay at the little cottage. There was a more than generous amount of linens, towels, snacks, coffee, water, soda and the list goes on. I can’t think of one thing we needed that wasn’t provided. Jerry was kind and easily contacted if needed. Perfect for our four day visit. Would definitely stay again.

Quick trip
It was nice, my only exception was the walkway up to the backyard where the guesthouse was. I’m handicapped so that’s on me. Otherwise it was a pleasant little cottage. Maybe the front house could be a little more clearly marked, we had to go by twice to find it All in all it was very comfortable and quiet. We didn’t have much interaction with Jerry, but seemed very friendly and helpful. We were only there overnight.

Adorable Cottage & Beautiful Yard
We stayed 2 nights with our 2 fur kids & it was perfect! Jerry is an amazing host, friendly, welcoming, funny & thinking all about our & our pups comfort. His backyard is huge & beautiful! Our pups LOVED it & explored every inch. The cottage/apt. is completely stocked with everything you might need & set up so well! The bed is extremely comfortable! The home is located in a very quiet, safe, lovely area & very accessible to DC & Old Alexandria. We will definitely stay again on our next road trip to this area!

Just what we needed, when we needed it!
Jerry was a very hospitable host, guest house was just as described, and has everything needed (and then some in case you forget something)! Bedding, pillows, and blankets are very soft and comfortable! He has a nice outdoor area to enjoy with a grill, a great fenced in backyard with mature landscape, and our furbaby loved it! Mini split unit kept us very cool and comfortable and was already running when we got there (it was in the high 90s outside)! Kitchen and bathroom are updated, and it's in a very quiet location! Aside from greeting us, we couldn't even tell Jerry was there! Thanks for sharing your guest home with us! We greatly appreciated it! 😁

Very cute place that had everything you would need. Appreciated the large fenced in backyard for our dog. Semi steep walkway to get into backyard but being able to park in the driveway made it nice to unload our belongings. Quiet neighborhood. Jerry was quick to respond with a check in misunderstanding we had. Would highly recommend!

The accommodation is in the back yard of owners home. Good for 1 person or 2. We had a dog and a crate which made things a bit tight. Our host was great about having the dog. He has two of his own, Henry and Marvin, super friendly! I would book again, but without my dog and his crate. Thanks Jerry, your place served us well.
