This home is even bigger and more amazing in person. Our large family had a wonderful time with so much room to gather or have alone time or smaller group hangs in multiple comfortable areas. The water feature was lovely. We stayed here for a GW commencement ceremonies, and it was an easy train or Uber into DC. Nancy's communication was great during the trip as well. An overall fabulous experience! We would love to come back for our next DC trip!

Exactly as advertised. Hosts were communicative and honest (they gave a heads up about a couple of minor broken items). Best part: kitchen. If you want to cook your own meals this is the place. Issues: not really! Light switches were a bit confusing but that’s probably on me! Overall two thumbs up!

This home is beautiful in a quiet neighborhood, on a cul-d-sac. There are many levels to this home with a lot of stairs. We stayed 2 weeks with our son, his wife & 2 teenage daughters. We had a wonderful time experiencing DC & the surrounding areas. This home is in a great location to getting around. Nancy, the host will respond to any text messages within the hour. In the basement there is a ping pong table that our family enjoyed some of the evenings along with a piano that the girls played along with my husband. The outside patio is also very nice & we sat & visited one evening out there with a beautiful fountain & sculpture. We enjoyed the East Coast very much but the humidity was hard on all of us. I would recommend this lovely home to any family traveling to DC area.

House was beautiful, location was great for us, amenities were top notch and more little things available than at any other vrbo we've stayed at before (ie spices, condiments, tupperware, etc), which I really appreciated!

This property was not only beautiful but just perfect for our family. Seven family members stayed, ages five months to 70 years old. There was something for everyone - great accommodations, plenty of room to spread out, lots of toys for the youngest, and all in a beautiful setting. We would highly recommend and would love to visit again. Many thanks to our gracious host, Nancy Gross.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Gross

Host profile image
We designed and built this family home in 2004 and our son and daughter grew up here. With both kids out of the nest, Mark and Nancy are spending more time at their second home on the nearby Chesapeake Bay. We have enjoyed renting out our Bethesda home to families and business travelers, many whom come to DC for a family wedding, graduation, or to see the sights in the Nation's Capital. We will provide you with a comprehensive house manual, brochures and guides to the tourist spots, and how to find restaurants, grocery stores, public transportation and other necessities nearby. We do our best to provide everything you might need while away from home, including a fully stocked kitchen, reading lamps at every bed, all paper goods, sheets, towels, etc.

Why they chose this property

Our contemporary home is probably the most unique place you will ever stay. We have been renting out this home for short to medium length stays for 10 years. Located at the end of a cul de sac, the back of the house is floor to ceiling windows overlooking woods, and when the leaves our down, a view of the Potomac river. We find the abundance of natural light and closeness to nature soothing in a busy metropolitan area. We have large open spaces to spend time together, but also private spots for quiet time. Our dining table can seat ten, with room to spare for a folding table and chairs if you have guests over for dinner. The back yard and patio is peaceful and a great place to spend time relaxing. The gas grill is always ready to go (no tank required) and the screened porch with a ceiling fan and fireplace allows three season outdoor dining. We love our green oasis, but also appreciate being a 5 minute hop to be on the highway or in downtown Bethesda, or 20 minutes to downtown DC. If you have business at NIH, Marriott, or in the tech corridor on I-270, you can reach any of those spots in minutes. We built our home to stay in this fantastic school district, enjoy living on a dead end street, and to have the open space to entertain our friends, which we love to do and do often! We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

The best part about staying in our house is being able to have extended family share time together. And because it is our primary home, it is fully stocked with everything you need to feel like you are at home. We make space for our guests in all the closets, bathrooms, etc.
