A very Cozy and comfy little cottage close to shopping and easy access to historic Alexandria

I was very comfortable staying in This little cottage. It was tastefully decorated while also providing all the basic necessities. A stacking washer and dryer in the unit was a bonus . Owners were very nice and responded quickly to a few questions that I had..

Comfortable and convenient--enjoyed our stay!

The cottage is tiny, but it had everything we needed--a comfortable bed and a lovely shower. Everything was spic and span; there were ample linens plus extras; the HVAC was easy to operate and kept us comfortable. Loved the addition of a magnifying mirror in the bathroom! Kitchen amenities were just perfect. Would definitely stay there again!

Great location for stay while visiting my father

The location offers safe off street parking in a residential neighborhood. The room itself is in safe fenced in quiet back yard and offers everything you need. It has a kitchen. Nice size bathroom and a large TV. This is much better than a hotel and for less money.

Great location, nice sized mother-in-law accomodations.

Best Vrbo we've ever stayed at. Really good location, we were no more than 20 minutes from anywhere. Lodging - Bed was firm and comfortable, very clean and bright. Only downside was no stovetop, you hhave to cook on a gas grill.
