Our stay at the Crestwood house was fabulous. The house was fully stocked, super updated, and had everything we needed. The location was perfect for our family to travel around DC and close up everything. All the bedding was super comfortable and high end. We have stayed in many high end rentals and this house is now at the to of our list. We would definitely rent again and grateful for Erin’s amazing hospitality!

Absolutely PERFECT!!!!! That’s the best way to sum up everything about the Crestwood House. Our family stayed here in mid October as we honored my Dad at Arlington National Cemetery. We had family members ranging from 86 to 2yrs old and everyone was beyond comfortable! We were amazed by all of the thoughtful details- the playroom, outdoor space for adults and the children, bathroom amenities, comfortable bedrooms, workspaces, kitchen amenities (the little things like stocking items for the coffee lovers). This location could not have been better. We were close to the places we needed and wanted to be. The ONLY bad thing was our trip had to end. We all wanted to live here forever. Erin is an amazing host! We couldn’t have asked for anything more.

A wonderful vacation home experience in Alexandria!Our group consisted of 4 siblings and their spouses in the 55 age range. Definitely a discriminating bunch when it comes to knowing what they like and dislike. I gave them ample opportunities throughout the stay to let me know what needed improvement, negatives, etc., (and believe me these folks have opinions about everything). Nobody would offer our hostess and this property less than 5 stars. The home is designed for comfort, low maintenance, and a sense of family.My wife has already made a list of things she wants us to duplicate at our house….If we ever come back to Alexandria I already know where I want to stay.

Amazing House

This house was amazing from the moment we walked in the door. We were there for a weekend girls’ shopping trip. We really enjoyed staying in in the evenings because the house was so perfect. Coming from someone who stays in rental houses multiple times a year, I can say this was the cleanest, most beautiful house I’ve ever stayed in. We’re thinking of coming back to this area again just so we can stay in this house again!
