It was such a treat to be able to stay here! The location was perfect, a very close drive to I-95, Woodbridge, Lorton, and only a few blocks away from the stores and restaurants in Occoquan. The nature surrounding the house was lovely. The house was very comfortable and the kitchen and laundry room were well equipped with cooking supplies and laundry. detergent. Check in and out was simple and strait forward and our host was very responsive to any questions that we had. The next time we are back in Northern Virginia, we hope to stay here again.

The house was the perfect quiet hideaway in a quaint little historic town. The layout is quirky but you soon get used to it and it all makes sense. ENORMOUS surrounding green space and perfect patio placement to watch the storms blow through. Well stocked and easy to reset.

Relaxing but Close to Everything!

Absolutely loved our stay. The property is close to everything, but out of the way so you feel like you are in the woods. The deck off of the master was absolutely wonderful. We were very lucky that we got to see a Firework show perfectly from the comfort of the house. Would definitely stay again!!

What a fun property!

We enjoyed what we started calling ‘the treehouse’. The unique architecture and the setting on a hill in the trees was a welcome retreat from busy NOVA. The owner was responsive and accommodating. We were thankful to be able to bring our pup along and he explored the yard while we picked raspberries and appreciated the multiple outdoor spaces. The house was tastefully decorated and accommodated our party of four quite nicely. The location near town was wonderful for exploring the many restaurants and shops. We hope to come again in the future!

Nice place

Eclectic Furnishings but pretty comfy place. Some of the floors bowed significantly in the family room and upstairs bedroom and the outside looks like it could use some attention. We enjoyed our stay as the location was great.

Business/Family Trip

My spouse had a training in DC and we decided to make it a family trip. So we brought 4 kids and a fur baby. The place was spacious and comfortable. We did have an accident while staying and the insurance was able to handle the situation. We enjoyed our stay.

Why they chose this property

This property was built by hand by Benjamin McKenzie in 1950s. He was a fighter jet pilot during WWII and later on became a commercial airline pilot after the war. He and his family lived here for many years prior to being purchased by us. Once we purchased this property we completely remodeled the interior but it still has the vintage original feeling and soul with a modern twist. The house has 3 acres of beautiful land that's great for walking and biking.
