Photos and Description of the Accokeek vacation house rental
4 bedrooms, 2 baths, sleeps 10

Relax at this beautiful retreat, close enough to Washington, DC for daily excursions, yet surrounded by acres of peaceful woods and pastures. View bald eagles and deer from the living room or one of the porches, and look at the stars as you listen to the owls hooting in the woods. Play the piano and enjoy the warmth of a fire while you sip wine or play a family game.

Enjoy farm-fresh eggs, and experience the peacefulness of horses grazing in the pasture and goats playing in their paddocks. Nestled in a private, artsy community next to Piscataway National Park and the National Colonial Farm. Fishing and boating access nearby. Approximately 35 minutes from Washington, DC.

This is a wonderful place for families, a romantic getaway, corporate retreats or a group of friends. Please ask about quiet water kayaking, team building, massage, yoga, and catering. All are available at your convenience.

The home is approximately 35 minutes from Washington, DC, and 30 minutes from Alexandria, Virginia,

in the Moyaone Reserve, a private eco-friendly community within the protected viewshed of Mount Vernon. Each property has a minimum of 5 acres, and permission is required to take down trees, so it is very natural and wooded. Our property is unusual for the area because it has several acres of pasture in addition to the wooded acreage. The community is adjacent to Piscataway National Park, the National Colonial Farm, and Alice Ferguson Foundation's Hard Bargain Farm. Access to both the Potomac River and Piscataway Creek is just a few minutes away.

Wonderful Stay

Review Submitted: January 7, 2012 Date of Stay: December 2011
We had a great family gathering at this place for the New Years weekend. Place had plenty of room with all the comforts of home. Very clean and a well stocked kitchen. We have stayed at a few vrbo properties and this one has been the best, Owners were very friendly, offered lots of information, and great to work with. It was an easy half hour drive in to DC for sightseeing and very close to lots of shopping but still very tranquil. Also very close were parks for more sightseeing. The kids loved the animals and our dog loved the place as well. Thanks Judy for such a great stay!!

Great Location

Review Submitted: December 10, 2011 Date of Stay: November 2011
This charming farmhouse in a beautiful natural setting was an amazing Thanksgiving getaway for my extended family. A quick trip on the metro allowed my family to spend our days in metro DC sightseeing and our afternoons hanging on the farm. The kids loved the animals and nearby parks. Most nights we cooked in the wonderful kitchen and then hung by the fireplace.

I highly recommend Slippery Slope Farm as an ideal staging area to enjoy fabulous hectic DC as well as the surrounding parks and recreational areas just outside the back door.

Invest in a weekly fast pass for the metro if you plan daily trips into DC. Don't miss the zoo,Spy Museum, or any of the Smithsonians.Check out the tower in the Old Post Office for a great overview of DC.

Hinklawski's DC Retreat

Review Submitted: July 24, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
WOW, just looking back at the pictures makes us want to go back to this retreat. We had two families total of nine, and had plenty of room. The kids all got to sleep in one room together so they could visit til all hours. Lots of room and beds. Our trip was to visit DC, which was an easy and quick trip from the farm. Have to say though we started looking forward to getting back to the farm more each day. The kids ranging from teens to twelve, loved the animals and getting the chance to feed the baby goat. Sure was nice to cook our meals each night out on and the grill, while cathing up on a load of laundry. When we head back to this area, this will be where we plan to stay. Hated to leave, but can't wait to go back again sometime. Thank you for sharing your beautiful retreat farm with us Judy, and thank you to Natalie for sharing the anilmal experience with the kiddos.

awesome place

Review Submitted: July 14, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
My family and I stayed here the week of July 4th and it was awesome. My kids loved watching all the different types of animals place and it was fun watching the deer at night and in the early morning. Yes it is about 45 minutes from DC but we drove to Huntington VA, about 20 minutes, and took the train every morning. Judy was a great host and the house is very nice.

Washington DC Holiday Rental

Review Submitted: September 5, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Our family (2 adults + 2 teenagers) have just returned from a weeklong stay in this property. The house is clean, comfortable and very relaxing. It is feels very much away from it all yet only a few minutes drive from the 210 Indian Head Highway. A particularly nice feature was the attached outside room with fly screens around it allowing outdoor dining or just sitting without the worry of flying insects. There was an ample supply of leaflets, detailed maps and a folder of useful information from the owners. The animals were friendly as were the people who came to look after them. There are plenty of activities/games for when not out sightseeing.
