This was an absolutely lovely property. The photos on the site don't do the property justice. Everyone who stayed enjoyed having such a lovely place to relax after each day of non stop theater. Everyone loved just how close it is to the heart of Mt. Vernon. Would book again if the need arises.

Rarely do I stay at a place where the property is better in person. Grey Goose Cottage did not disappoint. Very clean, very comfortable and very spacious. Extra touches like a stocked coffee bar, board games, high end appliances and wireless chargers on all nightstands just added to the quality of our stay. The llamas next door were a plus!
