BEDROOMS:
Experience the District as POTUS would! Our apartment has 4 bedrooms and can sleep up to 8 guests.
The Lincoln Room (Primary) - Where Justice Prevails
Step into the world of Abraham Lincoln in this thoughtfully curated space honoring the 16th President. A scale of justice and 19th-century-inspired décor blend with modern touches, creating a refined tribute to his legacy.
Enjoy restful nights in a grand canopy bed with a king-sized green tea memory foam mattress, plush pillows, and luxury linens. Prefer a nap in the sun? Relax on the loveseat by the window. Unwind with Roku and Netflix, and make yourself at home with a roomy dresser and spacious closet.
The Reagan Retreat - Saddle Up and Relax
Whether you're drawn to Reagan’s legacy or the spirit of the Wild West, this cozy room offers a warm, rustic escape. Vintage cowboy memorabilia, weathered leather, and earthy tones reflect his love for open-range living.
Rest easy on a queen-sized green tea memory foam mattress with plush, luxurious bedding—your peaceful retreat from the city. A comfortable queen size sleeper sofa allows an additional 2 people to sleep in this bedroom.
The Roosevelt Oasis - Nature's Inspiration
The Roosevelt Oasis – Adventure & Play Unite
Celebrate the bold spirit of Theodore Roosevelt in a space that balances nature-inspired calm with lively entertainment. Split between a cozy bedroom and a fun-filled game room, this retreat reflects his dynamic legacy.
Unwind on a queen-sized green tea memory foam mattress with luxe bedding, or dive into play with foosball, a full-size Ms. PacMan/Galaga arcade, Giant Connect 4, and a chalkboard wall for your creative flair.
The Washington Suite – Timeless Elegance
Inspired by The Blue Room at Mount Vernon, this space reflects the refined taste of George Washington. Surrounded by art honoring his legacy, you'll enjoy a modern take on 18th-century charm.
Settle into a full-size green tea memory foam mattress with luxurious bedding—where classic style meets cozy comfort.
Each room provides a dresser and ample closet storage space to store your belongings. All linens are provided and extra blankets are available for your use. Premium white noise machines are available in each bedroom to ensure a great night's sleep!
In addition to the rich historical ambiance, our home offers modern amenities, including a fully-equipped kitchen, large dining space and cozy living area where you can relax.

The first floor bathroom provides a combination shower and bathtub, toilet, sink, shelving space to store all of your toiletries and counterspace to get ready for your daily adventures.
The half bath on the same floor includes a pedestal sink and toilet.
The second floor bathroom has a combination shower and bathtub, toilet, sink.
We provide the basics like toilet paper and towels, but you'll also find amenities like shampoo, soap, a magnifying mirror, makeup remover wipes and facial cleansing cloths. Leave your hair dryer at home - we have that too!
KITCHEN:
After a day out, fuel up in the updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a gas range. Start your morning at the coffee bar - with a Keurig and pods, fresh grounds with a French press, or a selection of teas with a hot water kettle.
Cook with ease using the provided pots, pans, and utensils, then serve in style with full place settings, wine, and champagne glasses. Cleanup’s a breeze with the dishwasher and cleaning supplies on hand.
Not in the mood to cook? No problem - DC’s top restaurants, cafes, and bars are just steps away. We’re happy to share local favorites!
Feel free to use the energy-efficient Samsung washer and dryer as needed during your stay - and we'll provide the laundry pods!
LIVING ROOM:
The ultimate spot to experience the charm of a historic home and truly an architectural paradise. Exposed brick walls and fireplace, high ceilings, hardwood floors and large, expansive windows make this space the dreamy haven that it is.
Stretch out, relax and enjoy your favorite snacks while choosing a movie from the Roku Smart HDTV, or enjoy friendly competition with our fully-stocked game board cabinet.
DINING SPACE:
Take pleasure in a meal at a modern, extensive table with eight chairs, providing you with enough space to host everyone in one spot for dinner.
DESIGNATED WORKSPACE:
Take in the views of neighboring rowhomes at the desk, accommodated by a comfortable chair. High speed internet promises that you'll have no issues when joining your next Zoom meeting.
