The home was exactly what we needed for our vacation. Very convenient to the sights in DC. Lots of shopping and restaurants within a few minutes drive from home. We had everything we needed. Neighborhood was quiet and nice. Host answered questions quickly and was very helpful.

This is a really sweet place to stay. The beds were very comfortable. The sun room was a great place to start our days with our coffee while listening to the birdsong. The home is well stocked with the exception of ice cube trays for making ice. The location with access to the Four Mile Run Trail is an extra bonus to this home. I would definitely recommend this rental.

Great Location

The property was as described on VRBO. It should be noted that there are alot of stairs in the house with the bathrooms on the bottom floor and the 3rd floor. It was a quiet neighborhood with easy parking. The king size bed was amazing, so comfortable.

Little House in the Woods excellent location.

Dealing with the owner was super easy. Getting in was a breeze. The house is centrally located, a short ride from just about anywhere in the DC area, off the same road as Arlington Cemetery and the Memorial Bridge into DC itself. The house was clean, quiet and a lovely view of the forest grove. I recommend it.

Nice area

We had a great stay. The host was very nice. The area was nice and close to DC and shopping area. One thing I don’t like is that there is no TV in the house. No TV in living room or anywhere. We might stay again.

The closeness to Ft. Myers was a big plus. The view of Arlington Forest was great. The stairs inside were a challenge. Access to the magnificent seating in the forest was also a challenge. A patio setting close to the house would have been helpful; yet the inside nook was great and similar to a patio. This was my first VRBO; I'll ask about stairs/steps next time. The host was helpful and responsive.

Nice stay

First morning we saw a herd of deer on the backyard. Every morning there was a brillant sunrise from our upstairs bedroom. About 1 mile walk to the metro. Outback and Thai restaurant across the strret and a coffee cafe.

Nicest place we stayed

This house worked out really well. The owner was great about responding to questions. The house was less than 10 minutes away from a decent parking garage and the metro stop. We left a few recommendations for the owner to include in their note to guests, but overall we would 100% recommend this listing to friends visiting DC.

Arlington Forest

We had a great stay. It was like home. I had asked the host about a coffee pot as I did not see one in pictures. We packed ours, but when we got to the house the host had one. 😊☕️ Enjoyed being able to sit outside as the weather was beautiful, and having coffee down in the woods. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. The house was easy to get to. Will definitely stay here again. ♥️♥️

Bright, spacious house with private scenic backyard

The property was clean and appeared recently remodled. It backed to a nice private, scenic area but, we did not explore it. We were missing a few minor things in the kitchen but, the owner/manager was responsive and provided what we requested. The property was in a perfect location for us. It is in beautiful Arlington with everything one needs in a close distance. We were there in a stressful time but, it was a nice reprieve.

Perfect Family Home Base for Exploring DC and Arlington

We had a fantastic stay at this home during our recent family trip to Washington, DC! The location was ideal—nestled in Arlington, it gave us quick access to historic sites like Arlington National Cemetery and a smooth drive to Mount Vernon. At the same time, the Metro was just a short drive, making it incredibly convenient to get downtown and explore all the major attractions in DC without the hassle of city driving or parking. I recommend using SpotHero to get a parking spot. We never paid more than 8 for the day.The house itself was perfect for our family. It was clean, spacious, and very comfortable—truly a home away from home. The neighborhood was quiet and safe, and we appreciated having the best of both worlds: proximity to the heart of DC, and the charm and accessibility of Arlington.Overall, this was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We’d absolutely recommend this property to other families looking to enjoy everything the DC area has to offer!
