We had a family gathering for a funeral service at ANC…this house was perfect for our group of 18, ages 91 to 9 months. Location was across the street from a bus stop that connected to the metro. Ample street parking. The massive dining table enabled us to have dinner together and build memories that will last, while having the opportunity to honor my parents as we laid them to rest. Hosts are responsive, friendly and welcoming. 10/10 would stay her again.

Very Nice Home

the house was nice. the owner was nice but the three visit made my family feel uncomfortable.
Response from VrboOwner on 26 Mar 2020
So glad you and your family enjoyed the House, Corin! As far as your family feeling uncomfortable, wow, did not get that feeling at all. I had some really nice chats with your Dad and other members of your family. I do sincerely apologize if anyone felt uncomfortable, but allow me to explain my visits. The first time I came by was your first day there and I saw your dad on the porch so I stopped by to say hello and to tell him a few things about the house and getting around town. We spoke outside mostly and then went inside for a quick tour of the kitchen, i.e., where trash goes, coffee maker, etc. Most everyone was gone. I was there no more than 15 minutes. The second visit was when your Mom contacted me about a repair. That same day the repair person came out and I was there to meet her. While she was working, I was speaking to your cousin Clay -- we had some things in common -- and then other family members approached me about showing them the Cottage, since you all didn't lease that, and about five of us had a nice tour of the cottage. Again, I didn't get the sense that anyone was uncomfortable. The visit with the repair person and your family was all of a half hour. It was a quick repair. The third time I stopped by was a couple of days later. I drove by once and I saw that the double front doors were open. I didn't stop but when I drove by again about 10 minutes later and they were still open, I thought it was necessary to stop and make sure that all was okay. At that time one of your family member had a question about the freezer and I went to the kitchen. Gosh, that visit was about 10 minutes. We totally respect groups' privacy, but if there is something that needs repair and you all have requested the repair, sometimes we can send a repair person in alone if we have worked with them before, but if we haven't, we always like to accompany them. Also we do like to meet you and let you know some things about the house and getting around. We are not always able to do that, but some guests I may speak to for months via email and it's great to finally meet them face to face. And, of course, if we drive by and consistently see the two front doors open, we will check on you. Bu please accept my apologies for any discomfort anyone felt. But I'm glad you all had a great time in the House. You all mentioned that you would love to come back soon. That would be awesome! Take care and thank you for your business.

Unbelievable house!

Our first plan was to house 21 in this home for our son's wedding weekend which could've accommodated us nicely, but because of all the Covid regulations some of our group decided against joining us so we ended up with 11. The house is huge. We were able to spread out and feel comfy. The kitchen is fabulous and stocked with everything you can imagine. The cottage was the perfect place for our wedding couple to escape to. The outdoor area was lovely as we were able to spread out there for meals. The beds were comfy which to me is one of the most important parts because who wants a bad night's sleep? I couldn't have asked for a better situation. Teddy was so flexible and allowed us to bring a few things ahead of time. She even decorated the house for Christmas which made everyone feel at home. If you are planning to be in the DC area with a large group this is the house for you!

Wonderful House

My extended family rented the entire house and cottage house for a family wedding. There was plenty of space, and everyone loved the charm of the house. Teddy and her husband David were wonderful to work with, and were quick to respond with any questions. The only (very minor and not a deal breaker) down-side is the house is a solid 15-20 minute drive from the mall area. Again - not a deal breaker because it was easy to Uber everywhere, but it's definitely not a location from which you can walk to the sites. If you have a big group, needing a bunch of rooms I would highly recommend.

Great property for large groups!

This property was perfect accommodations for our large group during our 40th annual reunion of 9 couples who have traveled together since college. The large old house has private comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms for each couple. The house has multiple large gathering areas and a spacious, well equipped kitchen. Our group appreciated the "old home" feel of this house with hardwood floors, antiques, and interesting artwork. The host team was responsive to our questions.

All the stars!

Wow, what an incredible mansion! Our family booked this for an anniversary celebration/family reunion over a long weekend and it was perfect. We loved being able to stay all together and have lots of common areas to hang out together and socialize between the more structured things we had planned (we would not have been able to do this as easily at a hotel). The house itself is amazing. Everyone was very comfortable in their rooms (and happy with the number of bathrooms). The paintings are very noteworthy as well. The back patio is gorgeous - it would be lovely for a small wedding, and we took some photos out there. We also saw lots of lightning bugs at night, which was a big hit. We stayed there with a toddler and young child - they luckily had a high chair and pack and play we could use. The house isn't terribly baby-proof, but we had lots of adults around to keep an eye on things. The kids loved playing on the carpeted stairs going to the upper floors, hanging out on the window seat, and looking up at the large chandeliers. Terry was incredibly responsive and helpful - I recommend reaching out if you have any hesitations at all!

What a great place to hang out

Our family of 26 were in DC for a service at Arlington National Cemetery and stayed at this home. It was perfect. We had ages from a 1 year old to a 71 year old and could not have had a better visit. Parking was not a problem and we had 6 cars. We never felt cramped but were able to spend time together eating at the large dining table and enjoying each other. Everyone was so thrilled to be able to stay under one roof and reconnect. We would all happily stay here again. Teddy could not have been more accommodating for my various requests. Thank you for such a lovely place to stay. Janet

Beautiful, historic home! Great, large gathering spaces to facilitate interaction, eating, & games. Comfortable beds. Marvelous hospitality!!! Teddy had a 4' balloon column setup on the porch for the 4th of July and a huge, patriotic yard pinwheel. Friendly maintenance guys came by daily for trash and to check with us for needs. We had 15 adults and 2 children spanning three generations of family. Used 9 of the rooms. Space for everyone to sit at the table to eat together was precious. Memorable moments!!!
