Potomac River Cottage
Take it easy at this tranquil getaway on the Potomac River. This two-story cottage-style carriage house on historic land is less than 30 minutes from DC and .1 miles from a public boat launch. This nearly 2-acre private retreat is just downriver from George Washington's Mount Vernon. Enjoy the private boat dock, watch the sunset, eat in, or drive less than 20 miles to National Harbor for dinner and a show at MGM. Take a Water Taxi from National Harbor to Old Town Alexandria, and The Wharf in DC.
