About this property
Haiku River House | 5BR/4BA Potomac Riverfront | Zen Retreat | 18 Min to DC
Welcome to Haiku River House — A Riverfront Sanctuary Just Outside Washington, DC
Nestled along the tranquil banks of the Potomac River in Oxon Hill, Maryland, Haiku River House is a one-of-a-kind Japanese-inspired estate that delivers the rare combination of genuine natural serenity and effortless access to one of America's most vibrant cities. Just 18 minutes from Downtown Washington, DC, this stunning single-level home offers five private bedrooms, four en-suite bathrooms, and thoughtfully designed spaces that bring groups together without sacrificing personal space or comfort.
AN ARCHITECTURAL RETREAT UNLIKE ANY OTHER
The home's design draws from Japanese minimalist principles — clean lines, natural materials, uncluttered spaces, and an intentional connection to the natural landscape. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic Potomac River views throughout the main living areas, filling the home with natural light and the kind of visual calm that reminds you why you took this trip in the first place. Boats drift by on the river. Sunsets paint the water in gold. And in the morning, the only sound you hear is birdsong and the gentle current.
DESIGNED FOR GROUPS WHO APPRECIATE THE DETAILS
This is not a generic vacation rental. Every element of Haiku River House — from the designer mattresses and luxury linens in each bedroom to the fully equipped chef's kitchen and private en-suite baths — was chosen with the group experience in mind.
Three distinct bedroom wings create a home where 10 guests can sleep, wake, and move through their day without the feeling of crowding. Multi-generational families find it ideal: grandparents, parents, and children each have their own private quarters while sharing spectacular communal spaces. Corporate retreat groups appreciate the dedicated workspace and fast Wi-Fi. Friend groups love the Golden Tee arcade and Peloton bike as much as the sunset views from the riverfront yard.
WHAT'S INCLUDED: - 5 Bedrooms (1 King, 4 Queens) each with private en-suite bath - Sleeps up to 10 guests (Pack-n-Play available for infants upon request) - Chef's kitchen with full-size refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and Keurig - Open-concept living and dining area with 50" Smart HDTV and river views - Smart TVs in every bedroom - High-speed Wi-Fi and dedicated workspace - Peloton bike - Full-size Golden Tee arcade game - In-unit washer and dryer - Central heating and air conditioning - Single-level layout — fully accessible, no stairs - Keyless smart lock entry - Free on-site parking for up to 4 vehicles - Riverfront outdoor spaces for dining, relaxing, and sunset watching

Welcome to LuxStayUSA — Extraordinary Stays. Designed for Meaningful Gatherings.
LuxStayUSA curates experience-driven vacation homes in some of America's most sought-after destinations — from oceanfront estates on the Outer Banks of North Carolina to ski-in/ski-out mountain lodges in Snowshoe, Strip-view suites in Las Vegas, and riverfront retreats just outside Washington, DC. Every property in our portfolio is intentionally selected, impeccably maintained, and professionally managed by our in-house team.
Founded in 2016, we've grown from a single mountain home in Snowshoe, West Virginia to a trusted portfolio hosting more than 4,000 guests annually. What hasn't changed is our commitment: to deliver stays that feel effortless, intentional, and worth returning to.
We believe trust is the ultimate luxury. That's why every LuxStayUSA property is held to consistent standards of accuracy, cleanliness, and hospitality — so you can book with confidence and arrive without surprises.
Our homes are designed for guests who value space, flow, and the kind of comfort that makes a group feel genuinely at home. Whether it's a multi-generational family gathering, a corporate retreat, a wedding weekend, or a long-overdue vacation, we're here to make it exceptional.
Why they chose this property
Haiku River House was selected for the LuxStayUSA portfolio for a reason that's immediately evident when you walk through the door: it offers something exceptional that cannot be replicated. The combination of direct Potomac River frontage, authentic Japanese-inspired architecture, a fully single-level accessible layout, and its remarkable proximity to Washington, DC creates a property that is genuinely one of a kind in this market.
We curate homes for guests who value space, intentionality, and the kind of atmosphere that makes a gathering feel special. Haiku River House embodies all three — a rare riverfront retreat that feels equally at home hosting a multigenerational family vacation, a corporate leadership offsite, a milestone birthday weekend, or simply a group of friends who want to experience the DC area in a way that no hotel can offer.
What makes this property unique
Direct Potomac River frontage — panoramic water views from main living areas and bedrooms, a rarity in the DC metro market
Authentic Japanese minimalist architecture — not a stylized theme, but a genuinely calming, design-forward space that creates a restorative atmosphere from the moment you arrive
Fully single-level, step-free layout — ideal for multigenerational groups including elderly guests and young children, with no accessibility barriers anywhere in the home
Three completely separate private bedroom wings — guests enjoy shared communal spaces while maintaining genuine privacy; no one feels crowded
Premium entertainment suite under one roof — full-size Golden Tee arcade, Peloton bike, Smart TVs in every room, and a chef's kitchen designed for group cooking, all without leaving the property
Private en-suite baths in every bedroom — no shared bathroom experiences, even for a group of 10
Professional LuxStayUSA management — consistent hospitality standards, in-house maintenance, rapid response, and a track record of 4,000+ guests hosted annually since 2016
