Are you looking for a magical getaway to spend some time with family or relatives? OR, you might be looking for that one special (never to forget) rare setting for a corporate retreat. In addition to this, we often host high-profile clientele and provide optimum privacy.
If so, we welcome you to THE VIEWPOINT. This resort-like setting is located in Potomac, Maryland. This might be one of the most beautiful settings in the DC area. Located just miles away from the nation's Capitol, the political capital of the world in Washington DC.
Did you know that if you book with Viewpoint, our guests are treated with five-star service? You and 2 guests can have one complimentary drive to DC (once a month) with a driver in a 2020 Rolls Royce Phantom, our company car! *Restrictions (mileage) rules (number of people and cleanliness) apply* Not only that, but once a month, our preferred cleaning service will clean the home for you. (This does not apply to personal laundry)
Luxury begins at the Viewpoint: this 6 bedroom and 6 1/2 baths with a "mansion like" feel, resembles a 5-star resort. You will enjoy this secluded and natural setting. The sprawling grounds are beautifully manicured!
The views of the Potomac Canal and the Potomac River are relaxing and surreal. Just miles from the political hub of the world, The Viewpoint is secluded and has spectacular views of the Potomac canal all year round and during the fall and winter you will enjoy spectacular views of the Potomac River.
The Viewpoint is cradled by natural wildlife, for bikers, walkers, and hikers you will be spoiled by a National Treasure the C&O Canal and The Potomac River, located literally in the backyard. The Viewpoint offers the Potomac Canal towpath for biking, walking, and hiking which extends 184 miles from Cumberland Maryland all the way down to Georgetown.
If you loved riding your bike as a child, and if you love getting exercise, and if you love taking in wildlife while in their natural setting, you are in for a treat! With no stop lights or hills on the C&O canal towpath, enjoy our touring bikes made by Specialized, which are provided for your enjoyment.
The interior of The Viewpoint resembles a five-star feel. Find the comforts of home as you have ample room for meetings or just memorable times with loved ones.

So, why no reviews?! We JUST got on VRBO. This home is a new build and for the last year, we have rented this place out on another booking site. Here is a review for this property, from the other booking site we have used:
"The Viewpoint property FAR EXCEEDED our expectations. The pictures simply did not do the property justice. The interior was immaculately designed, with intricate and interesting pieces that cultivated a peaceful and home-like feel. The neighborhood is quiet and serene. Large windows on every floor saturate the house in natural light, allowing for full views of the Potomac River and wooded scenery all around. A large deck off the main level is great for outdoor family time or peaceful reflections over a book, with the sounds of nature and singing birds in the backdrop. Our son loved exploring all nature had to offer in the surroundings. Privacy is easily achieved in this location, with a highly functional layout prime for large groups or families. There are separate laundry facilities in the basement and upper levels, as well as a game and yoga room downstairs. The bedrooms all have thoughtful themes and exceptional bedding allowing for a great night’s rest. The chef’s kitchen is a wonderful gathering space, with a double sized island and ample seating for family congregation around lovely meals. The bonus of the experience at Viewpoint was exceptional customer service by Horizon Management, who was responsive to all of our needs in exceptional time. Our family was expecting a baby during our time at Viewpoint and there is absolutely no greater place we could have chosen to welcome our bundle of joy."

About the host
Hosted by Elaina Simpson
My late grandparents lived in this home and they purchased the property in the 1950's from David Brinkley (TV News Anchor and Host). When my grandparents past, we renovated the home completely, making it a new build. We have since added this property to our group of homes and vacation rentals that Horizon Development and Management owns and manages. Horizon Development and Management is my father's company. I love to meet tenants as this is a long term rental (30+ days), to ensure it is a good fit, and to answer all your questions about the home. After you book, we will have a quick zoom call. As a family owner of the home, I look out for it and book our tenants. However, there is also a whole team (other family members and employees) at Horizon Management that works full-time to support your needs and they will give you five-star service.
Why they chose this property
This property is secluded, safe, and has an amazing view. Ever been to a vacation rental and wondered if it was cleaned? Well, that's not the case with us. Everything is cleaned from top to bottom (even the throw blankets are washed, needless to say) and everything is disinfected to serve your needs. Not only that, but after our tried-and-true amazing cleaners come, we still check the house twice to make sure it is beautiful and ready for you.
