Summary: This property has a beautiful private outdoor set-up that we thoroughly enjoyed. A walk along the boardwalk through the marshy pond area was always rewarded with a great Blue Heron sighting. We spent hours each morning on the dock watching 2 pair of bald eagles in the trees across the river with the binoculars provided by the host. The river was quiet, the neighborhood is rural and deer filled. The house had everything we needed.

Summary: Such a cute little house and the most beautiful property. We saw deer, turkeys, butterflies and birds of all kinds. We watched the most beautiful sunsets every evening. Plus we were close to DC to see all history.

Summary: Spent a long weekend celebrating our daughter who turned 21 on the 4th of July. The Potomac was awwsome and the use of the kayaks greatly appreciated. The cottage was clean and spacious.

Summary: Amazing location for nature lovers. Friendly property owners. We were there to see DC and the numerous historic sites around the area, but we spent one day just enjoying the property and the river. The house provides several Kayaks and a Canoe. This might not be the optimum location for those more comfortable in a modern downtown condo, but was absolutely perfect for us.
