We had a great stay, in a delightfully comfortable cottage tucked away in the heart of Arlington’s walkable residential area. The cottage seems practically new, and is comfortably furnished—so enjoyable.
We were only here for an overnight to drop my daughter off at college but it was lovely. The cottage is a great tiny home space, super comfortable and welcoming. Lots of snacks and toiletries if you forget anything. Comfortable bed and hang out space plus a tub and laundry. Would definitely stay again, Geneva was accessible and very kind!
I cannot even begin to describe how welcome I felt while staying at this small little cottage. It was perfect!!! When I am giving the chance to come to DC again, this place will be my first choice!! I highly recommend it.
Excellent option when visiting out nation’s capital
A cute stand alone cottage recently built with all the modern amenities you could ask for in a quiet residential area. The host was gracious and accommodating. It absolutely deserves the excellent reviews it has garnered. From the higher end amenities to the electronic shades, everything was top notch. You will not be disappointed. Book with confidence. You will not be disappointed.
I needed a place to stay for 1 night but I needed to check in early due to my flight. The property manager was great and very accommodating with my needs. Communication was easy and quick. The place was very clean and honestly fantastic. I cant say enough good things about the rental. I really liked the neighborhood, I went for a quick walk in the afternoon and its a very nice area. If I come back to DC I would stay here again for sure.
This little house is perfection and is a top notch example of why I choose owner rentals over hotels. There are so many small touches... coffee, snacks, and every toiletry imaginable. The home is spotless, location is excellent and the neighborhood is beautiful. Highly recommend!
As former residents of the DC area, we were hoping to find a place that would feel like home. The cottage was perfect! The space, the location, the amenities and the little touches (chocolates on the bed ;) made our week long stay to visit family + friends simply wonderful.
The folks who own this little hideaway are good communicators, and provided us an impeccably clean cottage that is organized, intuitive to use/live in, and convenient to every amenity in Arlington with a 10-minute walk through an idyllic Rockwellian Arts & Crafts neighborhood. Hard to beat! Will be back!
This backyard cottage was fantastic for our DC trip. The house was neat and clean with everything we needed for our stay. The neighbor was also great. A short walk to the metro made all of DC available to us.
Super clean and super cute! Modern and fresh with all the conveniences of home - and more! Plenty of parking available right in front of the house. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit!
Honestly one of the nicest VRBOs weve ever stayed in. Great cottage in a very nice residential neighborhood a short walk from the metro. Lots of nice touches inside. The owner was very responsive when we had a question about the door lock. Would definitely stay again.
A spot only the locals would know about! I absolutely loved this cozy comfy home (away from home) a little city and little country (in the city), yet a quiet oasis - elegant and simplistic, inclusive of the necessaries. Highly recommend!!
My rental car was stolen from me in downtown DC and they really helped me out and were very very patient as I went well over the checkout time and other guests were due to arrive sooner than later! They are awesome. Great place.
Fantastic cottage with lots of extras and little thoughtful touches. Very clean. Beautiful neighborhood. Easy parking and walk to metro. Definitely want to return. Great communication with Geneva. Thank you!!
We had a lovely stay. The cottage was beautiful, very clean, and relaxing. The accommodations were top knotch and the place was very well stocked. We would definitely stay again.
Could. Or have enjoyed my stay at the cottage more. Great location for those visiting DC. Owners were super helpful and responsive. I felt like I was with family. The place was clean and the surroundings are very peaceful. Couldn’t recommend more.
Geneva and Peter’s backyard cottage was wonderful. It was exactly like the listing and extremely clean. Parking is a breeze (and free!). They truly thought of all the little extras you may need - toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, makeup wipes, feminine hygiene products, etc. and a few little snacks and chocolates! The bed was very comfy, the only thing to note is that the bedroom does not get very dark if you are a sensitive sleeper.
Lovely cottage, lovely stay! Clean, comfortable, perfect location, great host. My husband and I and our 5 year old stayed for one night. Ideally situated for a family. We frequent the area and would stay here again and again!
