Wooded Hillside Retreat in Waldorf, MD - Top 10% and Guest favorite elsewhere
Welcome to our spacious family home in Charles County, Maryland. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood on a serene, wooded lot, this home was the backdrop to many happy memories as our children grew up. Now that our kids are grown and we've downsized, we’re excited to share this space with other groups and families, hoping they will create their own cherished memories here.
Conveniently located just a few miles off Highway 210, our property offers quick access to DC and Northern Virginia via the Beltway. It’s an ideal spot for exploring the Metro DC area while enjoying the peace and quiet of our wooded lot.

Backyard & Outdoor Amenities:
Our backyard is one of our favorite places to spend time. It features both upper and lower-level decks, a large gas grill, ample seating, and extra lighting on the lower deck for evening enjoyment. You’ll often spot wildlife beyond the fence, including deer, wild turkeys, owls, and other critters.
For those traveling with pets, there’s a doggie door leading to a fully fenced backyard, with an extension that goes up to 6 feet to accommodate even the most determined pups (our lab was quite the overachiever!). The doggie door is in the exterior storm door, so you can easily close it off when not in use. We also provide pet bowls, a large dog bed, and crates for your furry companions.

About the host
Hosted by Rick Legacy

This was our family home as our boys were growing up and we have made many happy memories here. Now that our kids are grown and we have downsized, it is our hope that many other groups and families will enjoy this space.
Why they chose this property
Enjoy your stay in this spacious 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath home in Charles County, Maryland. It is the perfect blend of a quiet neighborhood and a serene, wooded lot - it was actually the moment we stepped onto the back deck and heard sounds from the woods and not traffic, that we decided to put an offer on the property back in 2002.
What makes this property unique
As long-time VRBO guests for both work and family, we have done our best to include all the extra touches that make us feel at home whether on staff retreat or a family vacation. The kitchen is Jenn's happy place so you will find plenty of extra's there, as well as a coffee bar with regular brew, K-cups, French press and a milk frother for both hot and cold foam, along with an electric kettle and a generous assortment of teas.
