About this property

The Potomac House: 13 acre riverfront property

*During peak winter months (Dec-Feb) the rental price includes just the cottage: a one level, three bedroom, two bath cottage which sleeps 8. If groups want to add the luxury, heated/air conditioned safari tents to their package they can do so for an additional $100 per night/per tent. Each tent sleeps 2 guests (one has a King bed and one has two Full beds, pillows and linens included).

*During spring/summer/fall months (March-November) the rental price includes the cottage (which sleeps 8) AND the two heated/air conditioned safari tents (which sleep an additional 4).

*One night bookings are only available on week nights (Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed). Inquire if interested.

General Notes:
-Access to the cottage requires taking the deck stairs to the front door and the stairs are not handicapped accessible.
-The ground level of the cottage is all storage and not accessible or available for use.
-The 12 person guest limit assumes that 8 people will be sleeping inside and 4 people will be sleeping in the tents (the tents are steps away from the cottage).
-Property is extremely private with Piscataway Park (and a public boat ramp) on one side and a tree farm on the other side.
-The 12 person guest limit is strictly enforced unless prior approval has been granted for a private event. Private events have additional fees and require rental of portable toilets.
-No pets allowed.
-There are two video cameras on the exterior of the house. They monitor the parking area and the backyard.
-Bryans Road is a very small town and as such the local dining and entertainment options are very limited. The towns of Waldorf and La Playa are a 15-20 minute drive and have many options but we want our guests to be aware of this before booking so that they can plan accordingly (or book elsewhere if local dining and entertainment options are a priority).

Cape Crew Family Vaca 2024
We had four families stay at this property with ages from 1.5 to 45 and I have to say we absolutely loved it. The property Manager Danna was more than receptive to every single message that was sent before and during our stay. We gave a few notes/feedback regarding laundry and towels but other than that we loved staying there and hope to go back someday!!!! Amazing place

The Potomac House is a gem!
My younger sister and I hosted a wonderful reunion weekend with our baby sister and 5 aunts who live across the country. It was wonderful! The place is very cute and well-appointed. The beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and well-stocked. The kitchen was also well-stocked and a dream to cook in. I am excited to return with my own children and grandchildren!

Lovely Summer Vacation
Our family of 9 stayed here while visiting DC for a few days. The property was so nice and accommodating for our large family that it was hard to leave to explore the city. There was more than enough of everything, towels, linen, etc. The hostess was easy to communicate with. The house was clean and looks exactly as pictured. The tents were amazing, exceeded our expectations! We enjoyed the hot tub as well. Overall it was a great stay and we would definitely return and recommend to anyone but especially a family that is looking for the home away from home feel.
