Great place for grown siblings to gather for a long weekend in March. Beautiful view of the river with balconies and lots of space. Clean, comfortable house and a fantastic virtual host that communicates well, anticipates your needs and provides information timely. We're a repeat customer!

Excellent house with beautiful view.

It was the perfect spot to base ourselves for my nephew’s wedding in Lovettsville, VA. The first- floor bedroom and bathroom worked well for my 94-year-old mom. We loved being able to sit out on the deck and watch the river. Thanks, Michael.

Wonderful house

We really enjoyed our stay- despite a rainy weekend we were able to make the most of being mostly indoors. The house was clean and spacious, plenty of room for all of us. Quite a bit of lady bugs and stink bugs, but thankfully Michael gave me a heads up and there was a vacuum provided to get rid if of them. The kitchen was well stocked and there is a grocery store nearby. Michael was very helpful and flexible as well. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much!

Property was awesome, exactly as how it’s described. Kitchen is fully stacked such that I was able to make desserts for my daughter’s wedding. Had groceries delivered and made breakfast instead of going out. Multiple bathrooms made it easier to get everyone ready at the same time. Michael was VERY responsive and helpful with all my questions. He suggested places to go, etc. but unfortunately we did not have the time. Wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you Michael!

Perfect in every way.

We were nine women ranging in age from 79 to 81. We loved the house. We could be spread out when we slept and gather in two large spaces on the second and third floors. Most important to us was the attitude and friendliness of the host. Thank you for perfectly perfect time.

The property is beautiful. A great view of the river, multiple porches, and lots of space. A perfect get away with lots of fun things to do close by. Also great just to hang out. Felt like home, would recommend to anyone. Michael was very communicative and answered all my questions very quickly, and even recommended fun things to do in the area.

The house was a perfect size for my group of 10.

Beautiful and Convenient

The house was amazing, great views and a great layout that allowed for us to hang as a group or have some privacy. Very convenient to everything we wanted to do; Harper’s Ferry, Ziplining (or rafting based on time of year), and the Brewery that we went to on the last night felt like it was almost walking distance. Definitely recommend and would stay again in a heartbeat.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Brown

Host profile image
I am a native Floridian who relocated to DC over twenty years ago. I love this place which has been described as the "Greenest big city in the U.S." . I am an avid nature lover and savor living next to the Potomac River, also known as "the wildest urban river in the world." We live just minutes from Great Falls, with world class kayaking and ferocious rapids. When we are not enjoying city life in our Nation's Capitol, we relax at our mountain retreat an hour away in Boonsboro, MD. We enjoy welcoming guests from around the world into our homes and look forward to meeting you.
