What a truly magnificent home!!! We felt like we had won the lottery when we had the opportunity to stay in this grand home in the heart of colonial Old Town Alexandria. This VRBO property is overshadowed only by the gracious hospitality of its owner! This most spacious, yet secluded home is within easy walking distance of all the main Old Town attractions - the Market Square, Potomac River waterfront, and charming historic streets filled with lovely homes, shops and restaurants. Staying here, we learned this property has historical significance dating back to colonial times. The home itself features a private, fenced backyard and boasts a family-sized, in-ground swimming pool. The main home is a study in understated elegance — beautifully designed and appointed throughout. We all commented on how wonderful the beds and pillows were to sleep on and also marveled at how quiet the interior of the home was despite being in the center of bustling Old Town. In addition to being an impeccably clean home, linens, towels and bathroom amenities were all provided, and the kitchen was amply stocked. Before, during, and after our stay, we were repeatedly touched by how warm and considerate our host was…most respectful of our privacy, but also willing and eager to share this gem of a property with others as well as personally seeing to every detail to ensure we enjoyed our weekend stay to the fullest! I would highly recommend the Owl House - this property is a rare treasure!
