Perfect cottage!

As former residents of the DC area, we were hoping to find a place that would feel like home. The cottage was perfect! The space, the location, the amenities and the little touches (chocolates on the bed ;) made our week long stay to visit family + friends simply wonderful.

Great stay

Honestly one of the nicest VRBOs weve ever stayed in. Great cottage in a very nice residential neighborhood a short walk from the metro. Lots of nice touches inside. The owner was very responsive when we had a question about the door lock. Would definitely stay again.

Well located for DC, peaceful cottage with great host

Clean, well taken care of, very comfortable bed, with 2 full baths (1 on each floor, very handy), great instructions for blinds and all appliances and helpful maps and information for DC. Would highly recommend as a great alternative to a hotel and a top notch VRBO. Parking ideal, right by the property.

CLEAN, New, Ideal Location

This was an impressive VRBO and decided on an alternative Christmas trip to DC and NYC last minute. The host was very responsive and the cottage has pretty much everything you would need for a short or long stay. I loved the neighborhood and the proximity to the attractions downtown. Very clean, new and private. Would definitely stay here again in the future

This backyard cottage was fantastic for our DC trip. The house was neat and clean with everything we needed for our stay. The neighbor was also great. A short walk to the metro made all of DC available to us.
