Perfect stay

What a great find! Just outside of DC and all the noise in a quiet and beautiful nook. EVERYTHING ( more) you could want or need in a home away from home setting. Very clean and modern stay. Walking distance for dining, shopping, etc. if you choose. Great communication by the host! Wished we could have stayed longer to enjoy it more.

This Vrbo was outstanding in every way. The property was exactly as described — clean, comfortable, and extremely well maintained. Everything was set up thoughtfully, and it’s clear the host puts care into making sure guests have a great stay.The location was perfect, the amenities were excellent, and the entire process — from booking to check-out — was smooth and easy. It was relaxing, enjoyable, and one of the best travel experiences I’ve had. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a quality place to stay.

Best VRBO ever

I wish every vacation accommodation was like this one. Beautiful property, extremely clean, peaceful neighborhood, hosts responded to all communication quickly and professionally and with a caring human touch, hosts provided little extras to make my stay more comfortable. They thought of everything and then some. HIGHLY recommend.

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.

Quaint, quiet neighborhood charm

This cottage is a perfect 1-2 person hidden gem in the suburbs of DC. Convenient to the Metro if you need to get around town and easy walking distance to the shops and restaurants in Arlington. The house itself is well-appointed, modern and impeccably decorated. I was so impressed with the attention to detail that the hosts put in to this property. From the snacks, coffee, toiletries, etc., I had everything I needed (including a few things I ran out of and/or forgot to pack) which saved me a trip to the store. I would highly recommend this for a single business traveler or couple looking to explore DC without the hassle and expense of a downtown hotel. 10/10!

Back for another stay

This was my second stay at this cute property. It was even better than the first time since I really got to enjoy the neighborhood with a longer stay. Was in for a graduation in DC and having the space and quiet, peaceful surroundings more than made up for the slightly longer commute or a hotel room. Arlington is a great area and we walked to dinner twice. The house is so well equipped that you could have an extended stay comfortably.. Highly recommend!

Clean and peaceful!

We loved staying at Geneva and Peter’s Cottage! We stayed at the cottage for a conference in Washington, DC, and it was a perfect place to stay! The cabin was impeccably clean, and very well stocked with anything that you may need! We had plenty of clean towels and sheets for our stay. There is also a fully stocked kitchen, and the appliances are updated. The cabin is close to parking by the street, and safe with a lock on the door. The surrounding neighborhood is lovely, quiet, and very safe. The cottage is very peaceful, tucked away in a beautiful garden area. We watched movies on the TV, and the WiFi was high-speed for a work trip. Geneva and Peter were very welcoming and kind! They provided extra sheets and pillowcases for the fold-out couch that we used. The bed and pull out couch was very comfortable for our stay! They were very accommodating and kind. We highly recommend staying at the cottage, and would love to book on our next trip to DC!

Great stay

Clean and comfortable. Well stocked. We cooked a few breakfasts and found the pans and utensils to be in great shape. Appliances and climate control easy to use. Host extremely responsive. We stayed four nights with no car, easily walking to the Metro and a variety of good restaurants (we are seniors). That said, I docked one star from location because I would have preferred the Metro and restaurants to be a few blocks closer considering how much walking we did visiting tourist sites in DC. We did anticipate this somewhat so I acknowledge it may be unfair of me to dock that star. The neighborhood is lovely and really nice to walk in. Good shower and comfortable bed and linens. Really nothing we did not like.

A great stay

Three of us stayed in this house for a girls weekend - it was fantastic. The bed upstairs was very comfortable (and the room got so much lovely natural light!) as was the pull-out futon downstairs. Geneva was very flexible in terms of a couple random requests I had for my stay and she had left lots of thoughtful touches and treats out. The location was an easy 15-min walk to the Metro. Highly recommend. And despite it being a "tiny house" in a backyard, the unit felt actually very spacious.

10/10 AOur stay at Geneva and Peter’s cottage was absolutely awesome!They truly thought of everything, and went above and beyond what most VRBO locations have provided to us on other trips.Geneva and Peter quickly answered all of our questions, and were courteous, friendly, and helpful.The cottage was extremely clean and well stocked. It is located in a nice and quiet neighborhood, which we loved. We walked the neighborhood and to a couple of restaurants in the area and felt safe. The cottage is not too far from restaurants, supermarkets, and the metro. If you are a party of 3 or less and are coming to the Arlington/DC area, I highly recommend this cottage.We will definitely be staying here on future trips to the Arlington area or if we are passing through on a trip further north.Thank you Geneva and Peter!
