About this house rental
This is a charming house on a beautiful 17,000 square foot lot with a mature garden. It was built in 1903 by the founder of the Washington Post newspaper. It retains much of the original Victorian feel of the house, amplified by a hardwood floors, antique furniture and period phones from the 20s and 30s. It has three bedrooms upstairs plus a possibility for two guests to stay in the basement where there is a full bath. There is a great garden with a trampoline for kids, a fabulous swing hanging from an enormous elm tree and a garden full of fruit trees and plants. It is 10 minutes from Georgetown and from Bethesda. It is on the C&O Canal Towpath as well as the Capital Crescent Trail, making it great for walking and biking. There is a shopping mall five minutes away for nearby and convenient shopping, restaurants and groceries.

We will forever have a soft spot for this house, its charming character, and beautiful outdoor space. Our family of five and two pets stayed here for two months while our nearby home was completing a year-long renovation, following 6 uncomfortable months in a 2-bedroom apartment. This house is charming, fun, and just what my family needed. It is quiet, wonderfully located near D.C. and beautiful canal trails I had never explored in my 17 years living in this region. The yard, that was always in some phase of bloom and beauty, was a constant source of joy for our kids (the swing! The trampoline!). The house is private and peaceful. We had everything a family needed for two months in the kitchen and living spaces. Also, Katherine was so kind and easy to communicate with. We would absolutely recommend this space and/or stay here again.

This is a beautiful old house located in a great neighborhood. The backyard was great for our kids and dog.

Visiting family in D.C., we typically stay with family , yet decided to venture out to have more space for us and our 140lb Boerboel. Yet ,wanted something nearby with a fully fenced in yard . This place was perfect . 12 mins to 39th St NW. Fully fenced yard with even a gated driveway ..!! Close to grocery store , walking & biking trails . A very homey place to stay . Owner is incredibly proactive and responsive . Will stay here again when visiting .

Family explored DC and surrounding areas. I wanted my home schooled children to experience DC like I did when I was young. The house gave a perfect ambiance to our "history" theme for our trip. DC was hard to maneuver so highly recommend downloading the Ober app. It was very convenient and they picked us up at this location no problem. House was great. Thank you Katherine for sharing it with us.
