Summary: Our first plan was to house 21 in this home for our son's wedding weekend which could've accommodated us nicely, but because of all the Covid regulations some of our group decided against joining us so we ended up with 11. The house is huge. We were able to spread out and feel comfy. The kitchen is fabulous and stocked with everything you can imagine. The cottage was the perfect place for our wedding couple to escape to. The outdoor area was lovely as we were able to spread out there for meals. The beds were comfy which to me is one of the most important parts because who wants a bad night's sleep? I couldn't have asked for a better situation. Teddy was so flexible and allowed us to bring a few things ahead of time. She even decorated the house for Christmas which made everyone feel at home. If you are planning to be in the DC area with a large group this is the house for you!

Summary: My extended family rented the entire house and cottage house for a family wedding. There was plenty of space, and everyone loved the charm of the house. Teddy and her husband David were wonderful to work with, and were quick to respond with any questions. The only (very minor and not a deal breaker) down-side is the house is a solid 15-20 minute drive from the mall area. Again - not a deal breaker because it was easy to Uber everywhere, but it's definitely not a location from which you can walk to the sites. If you have a big group, needing a bunch of rooms I would highly recommend.

Summary: This property was perfect accommodations for our large group during our 40th annual reunion of 9 couples who have traveled together since college. The large old house has private comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms for each couple. The house has multiple large gathering areas and a spacious, well equipped kitchen. Our group appreciated the "old home" feel of this house with hardwood floors, antiques, and interesting artwork. The host team was responsive to our questions.

Summary: Wow, what an incredible mansion! Our family booked this for an anniversary celebration/family reunion over a long weekend and it was perfect. We loved being able to stay all together and have lots of common areas to hang out together and socialize between the more structured things we had planned (we would not have been able to do this as easily at a hotel). The house itself is amazing. Everyone was very comfortable in their rooms (and happy with the number of bathrooms). The paintings are very noteworthy as well. The back patio is gorgeous - it would be lovely for a small wedding, and we took some photos out there. We also saw lots of lightning bugs at night, which was a big hit. We stayed there with a toddler and young child - they luckily had a high chair and pack and play we could use. The house isn't terribly baby-proof, but we had lots of adults around to keep an eye on things. The kids loved playing on the carpeted stairs going to the upper floors, hanging out on the window seat, and looking up at the large chandeliers. Terry was incredibly responsive and helpful - I recommend reaching out if you have any hesitations at all!

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Uptown House! It was exactly what we were seeking... large enough for us all to be together (total 24) yet it also accommodated many “small group” gatherings in varying quaint and warm/welcoming locations throughout the house! Teddy was amazing as well!!
Apr 18, 2019 11:18:50 AM
Summary: Our family of 26 were in DC for a service at Arlington National Cemetery and stayed at this home. It was perfect. We had ages from a 1 year old to a 71 year old and could not have had a better visit. Parking was not a problem and we had 6 cars. We never felt cramped but were able to spend time together eating at the large dining table and enjoying each other. Everyone was so thrilled to be able to stay under one roof and reconnect. We would all happily stay here again. Teddy could not have been more accommodating for my various requests. Thank you for such a lovely place to stay. Janet
