A very Cozy and comfy little cottage close to shopping and easy access to historic Alexandria

I was very comfortable staying in This little cottage. It was tastefully decorated while also providing all the basic necessities. A stacking washer and dryer in the unit was a bonus . Owners were very nice and responded quickly to a few questions that I had..

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.

Very cozy and convenient location

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!

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! 😁

Comfortable and convenient--enjoyed our stay!

The cottage is tiny, but it had everything we needed--a comfortable bed and a lovely shower. Everything was spic and span; there were ample linens plus extras; the HVAC was easy to operate and kept us comfortable. Loved the addition of a magnifying mirror in the bathroom! Kitchen amenities were just perfect. Would definitely stay there again!

Great location for stay while visiting my father

The location offers safe off street parking in a residential neighborhood. The room itself is in safe fenced in quiet back yard and offers everything you need. It has a kitchen. Nice size bathroom and a large TV. This is much better than a hotel and for less money.

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!
