This is a great place to stay. Jack & Nyla are wonderful hosts and their cottage has everything I needed for a comfortable stay. I guess the greatest thing that can be said in a review is that I plan on staying there again in the not too distance future.

We stayed at the cottage the last week of October. Perfect weather, nice 15 min walk to the metro in the am. Very clean and well appointed. Perfect for my husband and I and our 13 year old daughter. Would have been tight quarters for a family of four, but perfect for 2 or 3! Great little kitchen, eating area, patio and laundry facilities. Jack's back yard is beautiful! The neighborhood is very nice and we felt safe walking back from the metro even after dark. Thank you Jack!

I usually stay in a hotel when in the DC area. Because of an extended stay I decided to try a rental instead. Jack's place met all my expectations. It is well located and comfortable. Jack was a great host who responded to all my request and at the same time was not intrusive. I really enjoyed having my coffee in the garden each morning. A beautiful peaceful setting. I look forward to staying here again.

Back home and very grateful for a delightful stay at your cottage. I miss Nyla greeting me on the patio and visiting with me while I ate breakfast. The conveniences you provided were remarkable ... coffee, cinnamon bread, flavored water, bathroom essentials including an endless supply of shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, right down to Q-tips and cotton balls. We grilled steak and invited our daughter's family including their 6-day-old baby for supper on Sunday on your beautiful patio. How amazing that we as guests at your property were able to entertain as if we lived there! Thank you so, so much for everything.

Although we found the cottage a bit "cozy" for four adults, we nevertheless had a wonderful time there! Jack is a most gracious host and we loved Nyla! The Cottage is well appointed and has everything you will need for your visit. It is a short walk to the Metro station and the free Trolley to King Street. A large and very nice grocery store is close (less than five minutes). We especially enjoyed the patio area where we ate many meals and enjoyed the beautifully landscaped yard as we enjoyed cocktails in the evening!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing, girls getaway.
Wonderful!

Our first impression of "Jack's Getaway" was...."Wow...this is so beautiful!" Jack has done such a wonderful job of presenting his cottage, in the best way imaginable! We couldn't have been more pleased with the accomodations, the location and our host. Jack made sure that we had everything that we might need & then some! He even baked delicious goodies for us, several times....how wonderful is that?! Jack made us feel welcome & played a part in our "Grand Adventure"...we took home some wonderful memories!(Our son ran into friends from his high school band/Rowing Crew-Sebastian River High School/Florida-as we came out of the White House!....talk about a small world!) We highly recommend "Jack's Getaway"...you will love it & want to return!.....thank you, Jack!
Owner response:We 'try' our BEST to make sure EVERYONE is treated as if they are our first guest. Our promise is...as long as we ENJOY doing what we do, we will do it with passion. When the passion stops, we will no longer be in the business. Nice people, like this family, makes our job a little easier. As long as you let us know what you need, we will try to accommodate you. Thanks for the nice review, and...we look forward to having you and your family stay at the Cottage again.

My husband & I just got home from a week stay from the Cottage and loved everything about it. Jack is SO helpful & friendly and we loved Nyla! The location of this cottage is in an extremely nice neighborhood, everyone was so friendly! I didn't realize how close this location is to Old Town. Drive time is prob 5 min or less! I HIGHLY recommend going to King Street and just walking the streets for food or shopping, my favorite was the Antique shopping! We ate mostly at The Warehouse on King Street and the food was consistently delicious! In Old Town there is SO much history there, you could prob spend an entire day just learning about the Christ Church, Gadsbry Tavern, the Carlyle estate, etc.. We had SUCH a wonderful experience, I've already booked us to stay next year! Without a shadow of a doubt I highly recommend staying at the the Cottage! THANK YOU : )

Our Trip to the Cottage

Review Submitted: 01/08/11
Awesome! The cottage is awesome, the neighborhood is awesome, Jack is awesome and of course Nyla is awesome. We stayed 12 nights at the cottage while visiting Washington DC and Alexandria and we loved it! We are planning on returning for another visit and would not think of staying anywhere else than the cottage. Cute, clean, great location, beautiful yard, only to mention a few things! If you choose to stay at the cottage you won't be disappointed. Jack is the best. He takes great pride in his rental and is so very helpful. The cottage has everything you need and things that you didn't even think you needed!

I arrived to a fully decorated Christmas wonderland. I found it to be cheap and cheerful, exactly what most people need in terms of proportion. The location was also very good, near to Del Ray and King Street, what a lovely place in America. The owner was very hospitable and helpful, yet nor overbearing.
