Wooded Hillside Retreat in Waldorf, MD - Top 10% and Guest favorite elsewhere

Welcome to our spacious family home in Charles County, Maryland. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood on a serene, wooded lot, this home was the backdrop to many happy memories as our children grew up. Now that our kids are grown and we've downsized, we’re excited to share this space with other groups and families, hoping they will create their own cherished memories here.

Conveniently located just a few miles off Highway 210, our property offers quick access to DC and Northern Virginia via the Beltway. It’s an ideal spot for exploring the Metro DC area while enjoying the peace and quiet of our wooded lot.

I was worried about booking this house since there weren't many reviews on this platform, but once we arrived all the concerns were gone. My husband and I plus our 4 teenagers/young adults and two dogs had plenty of room to spread out. The house was clean and fully stocked. There is a large collection of dishes, cups, mugs, cookware, baking items, and coffe/tea machines. The backyard was spacious enough for the dogs to run around and it backs up to a wooded area for a feeling of seclusion. The owners were helpful from the beginning and even set up their own dog crates for our dogs so we didn't have to pack ours. I especially appreciated the checkout process, there weren't any crazy expectations like with some rentals. We recommend this place and would stay again if we visit DC in the future. Thank you for having such a lovely place!
