Bethesda Beautp

This property was not only beautiful but just perfect for our family. Seven family members stayed, ages five months to 70 years old. There was something for everyone - great accommodations, plenty of room to spread out, lots of toys for the youngest, and all in a beautiful setting. We would highly recommend and would love to visit again. Many thanks to our gracious host, Nancy Gross.

Beautiful home, beautiful art, lots of stairs

Welcoming, beautifully appointed home in lovely neighborhood. Lots of space to gather or spend time alone, as one wishes. Great kitchen. The multiple levels produced stunning interior views, but the necessary stairs were a struggle for some of us.

This property is more than what we expected. You truly need to bring nothing but food with you. Nancy was a pleasure to work with. When we had a question she answered right away.

Spring family visit to DC

Gorgeously decorated house with beautiful grounds and a view of the Potomac river (during the spring - might be obscured by leaves in summer). Very quiet neighborhood. About 10 minutes drive to the Bethesda metro station. Great for day trips into DC. Right near C&O canal trail for hiking/biking. Fully equipped spacious, modern kitchen and a large dining room. Easy to prepare meals and feed a family comfortably. While the entire house was lovely, a few very nice touches make it truly special. The ceiling above the living room has a multicolored artistic light installation and there is beautiful modern art throughout the living space. Additionally, windows cover the entire back of the house to bring the views into each room - you get majestic natural light and scenery from all areas of the house.

Incredible Home!

Nancy’s home was the perfect place for our extended family to stay for my daughter’s wedding in Bethesda. We had wonderful meals around the enormous dining room table. Great evenings around the fire place and morning coffee in the screened in porch. The beds were comfortable and there was enough space where 8 people didn’t feel they were on top of one another. Nancy was very kind and attentive. I highly recommend her home.

All the comforts of home!

A well-manicured home in a quiet, upscale neighborhood, this house has all the comforts you’d expect in your own home, plus more! Plenty of space for 7 of us to spread out and enjoy time together, or apart as needed. Downstairs rec room was perfect for the teens to get a way and enjoy tv, games, and working out. Ample supplies in a full sized and fully-stocked kitchen, plus a working grill on a beautiful patio. Not a great space for outdoor activity beyond some driveway basketball and back patio relaxing. Families with small children or mobility issues may find all the stairs and multi-level rooms a challenge. This is overall a GREAT home with responsive and attentive owners. Could not have been a better fit for our needs (7 people, ages 17-75)

Wonderful stay

The house is not only the most beautiful we’ve stayed in but also the most comfortable (its layout, furnishings, kitchen, surroundings). As I think someone else mentioned, it’s even lovelier than the photos show, and the kitchen is even more spacious. Nancy and Mark were quick to respond to emails and very helpful. We hope to return some day.

A Beautiful House and Excellent Experience

Our adult family of six enjoyed a great stay. The house is exactly as pictured in a lovely neighborhood. The kitchen had everything you need if you plan to cook (which we did) and groceries and other stores are within a very short drive. The hosts are terrific communicators and leave very complete directions for everything. In all, everything you want from a VRBO stay. We would not hesitate a moment to return.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Gross

Host profile image
We designed and built this family home in 2004 and our son and daughter grew up here. With both kids out of the nest, Mark and Nancy are spending more time at their second home on the nearby Chesapeake Bay. We have enjoyed renting out our Bethesda home to families and business travelers, many whom come to DC for a family wedding, graduation, or to see the sights in the Nation's Capital. We will provide you with a comprehensive house manual, brochures and guides to the tourist spots, and how to find restaurants, grocery stores, public transportation and other necessities nearby. We do our best to provide everything you might need while away from home, including a fully stocked kitchen, reading lamps at every bed, all paper goods, sheets, towels, etc.

Why they chose this property

Our contemporary home is probably the most unique place you will ever stay. We have been renting out this home for short to medium length stays for 10 years. Located at the end of a cul de sac, the back of the house is floor to ceiling windows overlooking woods, and when the leaves our down, a view of the Potomac river. We find the abundance of natural light and closeness to nature soothing in a busy metropolitan area. We have large open spaces to spend time together, but also private spots for quiet time. Our dining table can seat ten, with room to spare for a folding table and chairs if you have guests over for dinner. The back yard and patio is peaceful and a great place to spend time relaxing. The gas grill is always ready to go (no tank required) and the screened porch with a ceiling fan and fireplace allows three season outdoor dining. We love our green oasis, but also appreciate being a 5 minute hop to be on the highway or in downtown Bethesda, or 20 minutes to downtown DC. If you have business at NIH, Marriott, or in the tech corridor on I-270, you can reach any of those spots in minutes. We built our home to stay in this fantastic school district, enjoy living on a dead end street, and to have the open space to entertain our friends, which we love to do and do often! We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

The best part about staying in our house is being able to have extended family share time together. And because it is our primary home, it is fully stocked with everything you need to feel like you are at home. We make space for our guests in all the closets, bathrooms, etc.
