Fantastic small cabin feel, clean, and a quick Uber drive to National Harbor. It was stocked with everything one needs (iron, lots of towels, coffee, etc.). Everything was in nice working order. I will stay here again next trip to the DC / National Harbor area.

My husband and I stayed here for a weekend to be at my oldest daughter's graduation. It was a lovely, cozy place to stay. Jerry, our host, thought of everything for our stay. It was so much better than staying in a hotel and much more welcoming! Absolutely perfect place to stay for a couple. It was also convenient to shopping and great restaurants.

The cottage is small but well-equipped and comfortable. Lots of thoughtful planning went into equipping this space, from extra electronics cords to scissors and tape to Band-Aids; they've got all the bases covered. Communication with Jerry was quick and easy as well as friendly and efficient. Perfect for a single person and good for two if you're comfortable with very close quarters. It was for us.

We sent our parents to this property for part of their 50th anniversary present and my mom said "it was very nice, we enjoyed our stay. The only thing they should mention on the listing is there is a pretty steep hill (no steps) but steep to walk up to the property. I had to use my walking stick. But the host was very nice and greeted us and offered to help us." She was very pleased.

Nice quiet place. everything in the room worked well; air conditioning TV,washer and dryer refrigerator freezer microwave. Parking was great and very nice neighbors. The yard was very large well kept up. The only thing I could say negative is the floor was not clean and quite a few cobwebs near the air conditioning.

We couldn’t have asked for a nicer place. It had everything that we needed. We met Jerry, the owner, and his dog, Henry. Both were very friendly. If we have reason to be back this way, we hope to stay here.
