We loved our Mother’s Day weekend getaway at the firehouse! It’s in a great location and we were able to walk for coffee in the morning and lunch. The host is really responsive and the house meet all of our needs! The two parking spaces were great to have being in city! We are looking forward to staying there again!

We had such a great time here. We needed a large space for 4 moms and 9 teens and we found it here. We were super comfortable, plenty of space for all of us, and it was so convenient having parking onsite and being close to the metro so we could explore the city without having to move our cars or pay parking fees. Would definitely recommend staying here and would stay again!

Excellent job preserving and documenting the history of this Firehouse! Well appointed and had everything we needed for a family trip to DC. Great location and convenient to all of the city’s events and attractions. Would definitely stay here again if ever in DC again.

Good location, close enough to walk everywhere and plenty of room to park. One room smelled funny due to broken washing machine. Some of the kids stuff broken and well used for the fire decorations that my kids were an excited for that didn’t work. But overall good place to stay.
