This was, by far, the most charming VRBO we have ever booked! The location was ideal as it was walkable to restaurants, shopping, and historic sites. Thomas was helpful and readily available should we need anything. We are hoping to return to Alexandria and, if possible, we will stay here again. It was perfect!

Thomas could not have been more welcoming and helpful!We also booked the upper carriage house along with the Washington Family home main house and it made for the perfect place for my sister to have some comfortable privacy to sleep and bathe. The private courtyard in between the two places was so lovely to share.

My parents stayed here on vacation. We live in the neighborhood. We wanted to get something close to us. They had an excellent time. You can't beat the location in history of this building. My parents had everything they needed and the apartment was very clean and cute. Additionally, the owner was incredibly kind. He was around to make sure they had everything they need and told them a little bit about the history of the property as well. We will definitely be having family stay in this location again.

Fantastic, quiet location. Nice, well-stocked kitchen. Everything kept in good condition.The only cons are that parking in the nearby garage is paid, and the heat/ac unit is kinda loud - think hotel room volume. We had the electric unit in the fireplace on too, but it wasn't able to keep up.Besides those nitpicks, it was a fantastic location that we loved!

About the host

Hosted by Thomas

Host profile image
I renovated this property to restore a part of American history. It is located on the oldest functioning property in Old Town, which dates back to 1750. The first owner of the property was Lawrence Washington, George Washington's half brother. George Washington surveyed and purchased the property for Lawrence. Truly, you will be walking in the unique footsteps of pre-revolutionary American heros. Truly, you will be walking in the unique footsteps of revolutionary-era American heroes, who fought for the creation of our great Nation.

Why they chose this property

You simply cannot find a property that is closer to the heart of Old Town. That terms is often used to describe many places in Old Town, but none is more centrally positioned just 80 steps from the intersection of King and Lee Street, which is truly the center of Old Town.

What makes this property unique

It is the oldest functioning house in one of the oldest areas of our Nation, owned by George Washington's family. Now that is unique.
