Garden Apartment Retreat

Pick your own fruits and vegetables from our organic garden when in season. Monarch butterfly garden in the back yard. If you feel like a quick work out, there are free weights and yoga mats at your disposal. Kayakers, we have room to store your kayaks in the back yard. We respect your need for quiet and do our best to tip toe around upstairs especially between 8:30pm and 6:30am. Expect an apartment style amount of sound to carry down to you at other times.
The space
I spent the first 12 years of my life traveling between south east Asia and New Jersey every 2 years.
I know that traveling with kids can be challenging. I want to make it more fun for your family when you stay with us. Let me know what their favorite things are. Tea party with dolls? Beanie Babies? Legos?
The washer and dryer that we will share is in the basement. We will respect your privacy and always ask instead of assume that we can come down and use it during your stay.
We know that many individuals have multiple chemical sensitivities and do our best to use aldehyde free products. However, every now and then there is a sale on a favorite fragrant shampoo of mine and I put it in the basement shower. Please lmk if you do have allergies and I will remove it.
To respect the needs of everyone who stays with us, please avoid smoking inside and using fragrances.
In the kitchenette area, there is an induction stove top, electric kettle, coffee maker, large microwave and full size refrigerator.
We also have a trampoline, slack line, Swurfer, and hammock in the backyard for you to enjoy.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned apartment, featuring a kitchenette with a refrigerator and a stovetop. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave, and housekeeping is provided on request.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a fitness center or take in the view from a garden. Additional amenities at this apartment include barbecue grills and bike storage.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

C and O Travelers check this out.
If you want to cut the last day of your trip on the C and O a little shorter and then have a leisurely pedal to mile marker zero and the capital mall area, this is the best place we found and it worked great. The neighborhood is super bike friendly.

Fantastic place and hosts
We needed a temporary place to stay while we found a long-term renting. This place was great for us and more. Our hosts and family were really engaging, proactive and kind. The place is very comfortable. There were a couple of minor issues but they were fixed immediately. The family is lovely and have two lovely cats too. I would strongly recommend anyone staying here if coming to DC or Maryland. Thanks again to the family for helping us settling in!

Felt like home
This was such a lovely property. It is actually the whole bottom level of a home occupied by the owners upstairs. They were super gracious and kind. Even invited us to join them for dinner our first night there. The place was cozy, well-stocked and had everything we needed. And the backyard is surrounded by an amazing vegetable and flower/plant garden. We were able to bring our dog and there was plenty of beautiful neighborhood to walk in. Thank you to our host family!!

This place was such a lovely place for my father to stay while my while he was getting treatment at Sibley Hospital nearby. The backyard was beautiful and the nearby walking trail was a wonderful way to end each evening. The host was very hospitable. We would absolutely recommend!

A great stay
We had a great stay in Cabin John. The hosts were very communicative and friendly. The heating/cooling system is a little loud at night, but I had brought something to generate white noise and didn't have any trouble once I got used to it. If we were staying in the same area, we would definitely look to stay again.

Met all expectations with comfort !
The stay was excellent. Slept very well, enjoyed the apartment. It was well furnished and conveniently located to both downtown and suburbs. We were allowed to park in the driveway, off street, which was greatly appreciated. The entire apartment was well furnished and comfortable. The host family was pleasant and helpful. We would stay again !

Amazing Hospitality
The rental location was better than we could have imagined by providing quick access to the sights and sounds of DC and surround area. Communication between the host and us was top notch from the beginning. Our daughter celebrated her Sweet 16th birthday which ironically happened to be one of the owner’s birthdays as well. The hosts brought down Georgetown Cupcakes (amazing by the way) for our daughter. Even our mini doxies felt at home. The neighborhood was very delightful as well. While out walking our dogs we met many neighbors along the way that stopped to chat. This is a hidden gem out of the hustle and bustle of the city!

Awesome place to stay! Great for events and friends.
This was an awesome location for us! We had friends over for a bridal shower, and it was a perfect setup. The living room is even bigger than it looks, everything is very high quality, the beds are very comfortable, and Carolyn was the kindest host!! She was the most accommodating host I’ve ever worked with. She was very supportive of having friends over, and even allowed us to extended the table to accommodate our group. 10/10 would recommend this stay — beautiful neighborhood, accommodating hosts, and gorgeous stay!
