Annually, my family from around the country meets for a week to spend time together. This year we decided to go to DC. We have stayed in large beautiful homes. This home has a large modern kitchen with all of the necessary appliances along with seating for a clan. The bedrooms are spacious with flat screen tvs and restrooms nearby. The formal entertaining areas are professionally decorated, warm and inviting. The wooded neighborhood is safe and located in a professional community. Homeowners, Mike and Lynn are most accommodating, responsive and gracious. Should our family ever plan a family reunion in DC, we definitely would like this home to be our first choice!

We were blown away with the layout of the house; it was very clean and our stay was very pleasant. We arrived in Washington DC on what was maybe the hottest week of the year, it seemed. And so after sightseeing for a whole day and getting a good night's sleep, it was very nice to just lounge around in a cool house. We ended not getting out of the house until 10 or 11 of the next day. It was very relaxing. In the jack and jill bathroom, there was a leak from the bathtub the first night that we arrived, and so we did not use that tub for the rest of the week; you might want to take a look at it; water leaked from around the tub to the bottom floor in the foyer.

Our extended family of 13, ranging in ages from 7 to 82, stayed in this house for a week, using it as our launching pad for and retreat from a very active tourist warrior week in DC. Everyone loved the house (you should have heard the 7 year old describing the marble floors to her dad, very cute!) and the kids spent evenings playing pool and foosball. We had plenty of space to spread out from each other, but the huge table by the kitchen accomodated all of us for our evening meals. The kitchen is great for cooking, love the commercial gas range with 6 burners.

This home is ideal for multiple family travel and families with multiple interests...The place keeps it's promise about lot's of excellent sleeping accomodations. All rooms are pretty equal, most of them have flat screen televisions avoiding bickering between the kids...Very nice neighborhood felt very safe, slept with the windows open and listened to the rain, it was very nice. Grocer store and eateries right in the neighborhood. Huge kitchen with a table that seats 20+, perfect for our gang. The basement includes a home theater with a Blockbuster store a little over a mile away providing evening entertainment for the kids. The kids played Foosball, billiards, and air hockey which kept them busy until we were all ready to leave for the day, what a perk. It also gave the kids space where they could be semi-private and make a little noise without disturbing the rest of the house. One of the biggest surprises we did not expect was fishing by walking out to the backyard. We pulled several 1-3 pound fish out on a day off and this turned out to be the highlight of the trip for the boys in our group. We parked at King Station and took the rail into the city and saw all the sights without worrying about parking. The house is within a couple miles of National Harbor which we enjoyed very much. This house is modern and well furnished including a well equipped kitchen. The property owners answer every call without us needing to leave a message which was greatly appreciated. I would definately go back and recommend this to other families...we really lucked out. They provided Wifi which allowed me to keep up with work as needed. Triple car garage if you wish to keep your vehicle garaged. The house is in a cultasac which is safer for kids to play outside which ours did alot. Very quiet and friendly neighbors.

All the cousins were delighted with this beautiful home. We are female first cousins, all over 60 years old, who for the past few years have taken a trip together to different cities. This year, twelve of us stayed at this lovely house and had plenty of room. We especially loved the large kitchen with the big table where we could enjoy each other over breakfasts and evening meals. We were able to enjoy the zoo, the Capitol, the White House, Mount Vernon, Arlington Cemetery, some of the Smithsonian Museums and a tour of the major monuments and memorials which included a boat tour on the Potomac. Everyone seem to agree this was one of our best trips.

Ten of our family members stayed here while our son competed in the National We the People Competition...the home was ABSOLUTELY lovely, clean, comfortable and perfect for everyone to have their getaway space as needed. The pictures absolutely tell the story. Mike and Lynn were a "dream" to deal with and VERY helpful with local recommendations. Huntington Station was about a 20 minute ride...but it was an easy in and out each day to DC. We would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area...you won't be disappointed!

Thirteen of us stayed at this wonderful house and had a great time. The neighborhood is quiet, the sleeping accomodations are plentiful and very comfortable, there are lots of great bathrooms and a table big enough for all of us to sit together comfortably. All in all it is a great house for a large group. We would highly recommend it and would love to come back to it ourselves. Thank you.
