Braeburn House is a perfect location for guests working in the Bethesda area, visiting family or wishing to explore the DMV (DC, MD, VA). The surrounding Bannockburn neighborhood is very walkable and safe. Our House is the first house on the left of Braeburn Parkway, which is a quiet and heavily treed cul-de-sac just off of Pyle and River Roads. From the 495 Beltway, Guests will take the River Road (MD 190) South exit for 1.5 miles and turn right on Braeburn Parkway. There is a turning lane onto Braeburn Parkway from River Road.

We are located inside the Beltway in Bethesda just off River Road (MD 190) near to Walt Whitman High School, Landon School and Holton Arms School.

There is ample indoor parking adjacent to the Metro Stations. Uber/Lyft to the Bethesda or Friendship Heights Metro Stations is approximately $10.

The Pyle Road/River Road WMATA T2 bus stop is around the corner from the house (3-4 min walk). The T2 bus will take you to the Friendship Heights Metro Station as well as the shopping mall and restaurants. From Friendship Heights you can take the Metro train south to DC or north to downtown Bethesda (1 stop). We provide a hard copy of the WMATA T2 bus schedule and an empty Metro card that you can use and refill when you take the bus or the Metro train.

You can take the T2 bus in the other direction (north) up River Road to Potomac Village and its shops and restaurants. The T2 bus line ends at Rockville Metro Station (also on the Red line). To get to the northbound bus stop just cross at the cross walk to the other side of RiverRoad. https://www.wmata.com/schedules/timetables/upload/T2_230625.pdf

My family had a great time staying at Hugh's lovely place. Hugh is very warm, responsive and friendly. The rooms are quiet, clean and spacious with excellent noise insulation between rooms. Both my husband and I had worked remotely during our stay and this is a huge plus for us when we had meetings in separate rooms! Highly recommended to someone who are traveling to DC area and considering a family-oriented and safe neighborhood.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Hugh’s home! From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless, beautifully maintained, and exactly as described—if not better. The space was comfortable, welcoming, and had everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable visit.The only thing we missed was having a full kitchen. Since we were traveling with senior parents and young children under 12, it would have been nice to prepare some homemade meals. That said, the setup was still incredibly comfortable and well-equipped for our needs.Hugh was a responsive and thoughtful host—always quick to reply and genuinely invested in making our stay a great one. His hospitality really stood out.The location was perfect—peaceful and private, yet conveniently close to everything we wanted to explore. It was the ideal spot to unwind and spend quality time together.We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend Hugh’s place to anyone looking for a clean, cozy, and well-managed getaway. Thank you, Hugh, for sharing your lovely home with us!
