About the host

Hosted by John & Diane Nolan

Host profile image
Born in Cashel, Co Tipperary Ireland, immigrated to Washington DC to live with my Aunt in Chevy Chase in 1957, had a successful career in printing production and printing sales. A father of 6 children, My wife Diane and I purchased this home in 1990 as a vacation home and named it "The Nolan's Hibernian Hideout". We have spent many a wonderful summer and winter in this home. Boating, Fishing, Dining out at all the wonderful restaurants in the area. We enjoy relaxing with our children and now our many grand children and golden retriever.

Why they chose this property

This is a wonderful property for one or two families to enjoy together or simply a couple who wants to relax. Its very quiet, many of our neighbors are year round or weekenders themselves. They are wonderful people and will wave hello to you and are quite friendly. Remember to wave hello!

What makes this property unique

The Deck/Porch is very relaxing as you can peacefully read a book or surf the internet no matter the outside weather. We have 4 TV's, plenty of board games and puzzles to keep the kids occupied. And most importantly, WIFI. Since it is a two level house, you can keep an eye on your children without actually keeping an eye on them! The middle family room has a sliding door on both sides. Our neighbor stays with her son and his children frequently and they commented how wonderful it was to see the kids in the sitting room, knowing they were OK watching their show while not actually hearing them watch their show and play. The beach is close enough to walk, and parking is easy if you prefer to drive it. The canal offers ducks from time to time, as well as canoeing, fishing or crabbing with a cold one in hand.
