Wonderful spacious and modern family friendly home in tucked away neighborhood - perfect for our extended family visit to DC. Paola was wonderful and quick to respond to our needs. The house came well appointed with thoughtful additions, like plenty of paper towels! Would recommend.
This beautiful house was exactly as described in the listing. The decor throughout was lovely and the beds were very comfortable. We felt so welcome and comfortable during our stay. The homeowner made sure the kitchen had all the appliances, cookware, glassware, utensils, etc. needed to prepare and enjoy our meals. Plus we were close to many local DC attractions. My family and I especially enjoyed the backyard pool. We would definitely stay here again.
We are design-driven hosts who believe a great stay is about more than a beautiful space, it’s about how it feels to live in it. As professionals who value thoughtful design, comfort, and hospitality, we’ve curated this home to offer the ease of a boutique hotel with the warmth of a real residence.
We enjoy hosting guests from around the world and take pride in creating an environment that feels calm, welcoming, and well prepared. From professionally selected furnishings to organic toiletries, premium linens, and a kitchen equipped for real cooking, every detail is intentional. We are attentive, responsive, and respectful of our guests’ privacy, and we aim to make each stay seamless, whether you’re visiting for work, family time, or rest.
Why they chose this property
North Portal Estates offers something rare in Washington, DC: a true sense of calm and space, surrounded by nature, while remaining exceptionally well connected. We chose this neighborhood for its tree-lined streets, architectural character, and immediate access to Rock Creek Park, where miles of trails, greenery, and fresh air are right outside the door.
At the same time, the location makes city life easy. The Silver Spring Metro Station and I-495 are just minutes away, providing quick access to Downtown DC, major museums, airports, and surrounding neighborhoods. It’s a place where you can start the morning with a walk in nature and be in the city shortly after—without sacrificing peace or privacy.
What makes this property unique
This home is unique because it was professionally designed and furnished as our own residence, not as a standard short-term rental. Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright principles, the split-level layout, natural light, and connection to the outdoors create a sense of flow and calm rarely found in urban homes.
Guests appreciate the seasonal private heated pool, multiple patios, Peloton-equipped gym, and flexible spaces for families, remote work, or extended stays. The kitchen is fully stocked with quality cookware and Ninja appliances, supporting guests who enjoy cooking rather than just reheating. High-end sheets, plush towels, and organic spa-grade toiletries elevate everyday routines into a comfortable, hotel-quality experience.
Most of all, the home balances design, functionality, and location, offering a peaceful retreat that feels personal, well cared for, and deeply connected to the city.
