DMV 6BR Lakeside Luxury Retreat w/ Firepit, Gameroom, Pool-table
Welcome home to a modern, luxurious, unique, extra RARE, and serene 6BR lakeside retreat with a gorgeous backyard. Your relaxing haven in nature's embrace, yet near city buzz. Minutes to DC, NoVA, Baltimore, dining, and shopping.
Enjoy the entire house, including 6 bedrooms, 5 full baths, 3 living/family rooms, a private workspace, a Game Room with Arcade and exercise equipment on the 3rd floor, and to top it off, a rooftop deck with lake vistas. Amenities abound. Have a great time with your family.
Experience the allure of brand new, mid-century modern aesthetics throughout. Delight in outdoor splendor from multiple vantage points – your secluded rooftop deck, the shared main level deck, and the expansive backyard.
Embark on leisurely strolls around picturesque Lake Whetstone, or simply unwind to the soothing melodies of birdsong, bidding farewell to the stresses of the day.
Each bedroom features a sumptuous queen bed with a memory-foam spring mattress, complemented by walk-in closets stocked with plush pillows, blankets, sheets, towels, and an iron for your convenience.
Enjoy the full kitchen on the main level, well-stocked with all the necessary appliances, pots & pans, and cooking essentials.

About the host
Hosted by Eric Hardiman
We’re longtime DMV residents who love creating peaceful spaces for people to rest and reconnect. Hosting gives us joy because we know how meaningful it is to find a place that feels both comfortable and thoughtfully cared for. Our lakefront home is especially dear to us — the water, the quiet mornings, and the changing seasons make it a special retreat. We hope our guests feel that same sense of calm while they’re here.
The lake views, natural light, and peaceful surroundings make this home a restorative escape. Hosting allows us to offer guests not just accommodation, but an experience of calm, privacy, and beauty.

Why they chose this property
The neighborhood offers the best of both worlds: a serene lake setting with easy access to everything the DMV has to offer. Tree-lined streets, walking paths, and water views create a relaxed atmosphere. At the same time, grocery stores, restaurants, and commuter routes are just minutes away.
We especially love the evening walks by the water and the sense of space and calm that the lake provides.

What makes this property unique
What truly sets our home apart is the direct lakefront setting — something you rarely find this close to Washington, DC. Instead of traffic noise, you wake up to water views and quiet mornings. Guests often tell us it feels like a retreat, yet everything they need is just minutes away. It’s that rare blend of serenity and convenience that makes this property special.
The lake, natural light, and peaceful surroundings create a calming space that helps guests slow down and recharge. We’ve intentionally designed the home to feel warm, uncluttered, and welcoming — not just a rental, but a place where you can truly relax.
Beyond the beautiful lake views, we pride ourselves on thoughtful hosting — clear communication, cleanliness, and attention to small details that make a stay comfortable. Many guests comment that the home feels cared for, not corporate. That personal touch, combined with the waterfront setting, makes the experience unique.
Designed with high-end finishes and mid-century modern touches, the home feels both stylish and comfortable. In the evenings, gather around the backyard fire pit, play a game of pool in the game room, or start your morning with a workout on the treadmill or exercise bike.
