PEACEFUL BASEMENT WALKOUT EFFICIENCY IN COUNTRY BUT CONVENIENT TO ACTIVITIES!

This efficiency was a great place for us to launch visits with family and friends from Romney, WV to Bowie MD and from Front Royal VA to Harrisburg PA, as well as a trip into Washington, D.C. We lived in the D.C. area for a long time so we knew this location would work well for this visit. This was my first experience with HomeAway. The property listing was accurate. It was clean and well-maintained and the owner was very responsive and fair to deal with. I would like to stay here again if I were in the area and recommend it to others.

Some minor inconveniences: I was confused about how to track my share of Internet usage because the Web site for doing so seemed to give conflicting information. I probably curtailed my usage probably more than necessary to avoid going over my allotment. Another thing was that the kitchen closet doors were locked. I didn't realize they were supposed to be available to me and didn't ask for them to opened, although the owner had arranged to unlock the door to access the Internet connection. Another thing: I arrived at night. A light was on as promised, but I was a little surprised to find the path down the hill, the height of the basement of the home, to be made of large, stable but very irregular stones like those pictured by the entrance. If you are not sure on your feet, this could be a challenge and you won't be rolling your luggage to the door. Still, these concerns were minor in context and did not dampen my enthusiasm for this property. I would much prefer to stay here than any hotel under similar circumstances.

We enjoyed our week at this peaceful, quiet location. The rolling hills were a lovely sight and leaves gradually turning red, orange and yellow during the week were beautiful. The accomodations were comfortable, clean, well-equipped, and conveniently close to Dulles Airport. It was a pleasure to drive "home" every evening from our explorations and be greeted by deer, rabbits and dark romantic starry skies especially after busy traffic-filled days in Washington DC. We like driving (had a rented convertible) so also took day trips to Baltimore MD, Silver Spring MD, Charlottesville VA for Jefferson's Monticello home, the amazing Luray Caverns, and several historic parks and home tours in the surrounding area. We sampled a few local restaurants in Leesburg on King St, and enjoyed the historic architecture of the buildings in town and everywhere we went. It was very different from where we live, and that made it a unique and memorable vacation for us. We definitely recommend this place. Thanks for sharing your place with us!

The efficiency is part of a big house in the midst of beautiful surroundings. The atmosphere of the location is truly magnificent. Every morning there were squirrels and deer in the backyard.

The interior of the efficiency is basic, but very well maintained, all that one needs is there. The utility room wasn't finished yet, but washer and dryer were installed.
Down Town Leesburg was only minutes away.

The whole payment transaction went through mail. We never met the owner in person, not when we arrived nor when we checked out. After we left the apartment in the same mint condition we found it in, ten days later we got an e-mail stating that we supposedly left the door open and that the place was a mess. Until this day we are waiting on a refund of our deposit. Several e-mails could not help to solve this situation.
After a wonderful stay at the efficiency, it was a dissapointing ending.
