So close to DC! So big! Amazing sunrises!
You are choosing this rental for the location and size. It is an hour from DC and is so large and expansive. We had my entire family (8 adults, 3 kids) staying with us and it didn't feel crowded at all. The kitchen was well appointed. But the sunrises were the true delights. I felt like we had front row tickets to a stunning show every morning and night.

Perfect weekend stay!
We had the best weekend and time at the house for the weekend. We were so lucky to have snagged this house for our group. The property manager was so nice and accommodating.

The perfect spot!
Was the perfect base of operations for our daughters wedding at Herrington on the Bay. The house was so spacious and words cannot describe the view. The outside area was a perfect space for a family gathering the day after the wedding. Our two Goldens loved it as well, especially the dock! We feel we discovered a hidden gem and can’t wait to come back again.

Special Place
The view was incredible and the house had so many spaces that it never felt crowded though we were a full house with children and babies. The neighbors and property manager were delightful. The hot tub was missing a top so it wasn't quite hot, but it was lovely just the same. Not super close to the store but an easy scenic 17-minute drive. There was an issue with the fridge that took up time and attention and resulted in some food spoilage. It was handled as quickly as possible by Theresa, who provided a cooler immediately, and repair people, who were kind and as unobtrusive as one can be fixing a broken fridge. It was an unfortunate bit of timing for the appliance to give up upon our filling it with food on the first day. Crab from Lou down the street was brilliant! Great running hills in either direction from the house. Fishing off the dock provided much fun and a sense of accomplishment for the kids. But not enough can be said for the sense of peace and calm that I felt and witnessed amongst my family members as we sat under the stars watching the moon and its reflection in the water. I will definitely consider staying at DWL again. Thank you for the much-needed respite.
