We absolutely loved our stay here. "Cottage" is the perfect description, as it's basically your own private home. The owners clearly care about the experience of their guests. They have included every amenity you could imagine, and then some! We were visiting our daughter in the area, so the location was perfect for us. Parking on the street was free and easy. We had clear instructions with every aspect needed for the property. The location was quiet, peaceful, and so well equipped. We would gladly stay here again. Thank you for such a wonderful property!

Everything was excellent, start to finish. The owner was quick responding, the space was well cared for and had everything we needed. In fact, for our needs, visiting our kids, it had more than we could use. We will probably use the rental again when we come down to visit kids and try to take advantage of the outdoor amenities. Thanks Geneva for a great stay.

WOW! Our stay at this beautiful and well-appointed backyard cottage was absolute perfection. The neighborhood in which this little gem is located is clean, safe, quaint and picturesque! We're "clean freaks" and I have to say, the home was spotless even by our standards! Our gracious hosts provided every single necessity (and then some). They were also incredibly communicative which made the entire process seamless from start to finish. We were also blown away by the incredible local restaurant recommendations provided...it's almost as if they knew us and knew our food tendencies! It was a genuine home away from home—we can’t wait to return!

Beautiful cottage in a fabulous neighborhood

Great stay! The cottage was adorable, modern, and very clean and comfortable. It was more spacious than I imagined and is located in the heart of Arlington. It sits on one of the most quiet streets in the neighborhood, despite being walking distance to Clarendon/Ballston restaurants and multiple metro stops. I'm thrilled that I found this hidden gem and plan to stay there for future trips to the area.

As former residents of the DC area, we were hoping to find a place that would feel like home. The cottage was perfect! The space, the location, the amenities and the little touches (chocolates on the bed ;) made our week long stay to visit family + friends simply wonderful.

This cottage is a jewel box. Autumn was definitely the time to visit. Geneva and Peter have thought of every creature comfort you might want, whether it's what you want or what you might have forgotten. The location is ideal. I noticed in the guest book how many people wanted to move there. We are two more. If we need to return to the area, we will definitely stay here again. Quiet. Private. Airy. Cozy. A true oasis from the world.
