About this property

DC Gem 10 Bedrooms/9.5 Baths! Short Stays Available Too!

Welcome to The Uptown House – A Classic DC Retreat

***NEW LISTING*** – But a Trusted Name!
We’re excited to reintroduce The Uptown House! From 2008 to 2020, we were a top-rated B&B and vacation rental in Washington, DC. Now after a long term lease has concluded, we’re back and better than ever. While current photos reflect the home prior to our refresh, updated images will be posted soon. We’re also in the final stages of securing our short-term rental license with the District—feel free to reach out with any questions about booking. Teddy - 202-40-1549

Available Starting October 1
