Love This Place

This is a great place to stay. Jack & Nyla are wonderful hosts and their cottage has everything I needed for a comfortable stay. I guess the greatest thing that can be said in a review is that I plan on staying there again in the not too distance future.

Wonderful stay!

I just wanted to say that our stay at your Cottage was the most memorable experience we've had! The location is ideal - close to Old Town, 15-minute walk to Metro, 15 minute drive to Mount Vernon, etc. We loved having the kitchen available to us and your neighborhood is extremely beautiful and safe! We had a wonderful time visiting the area (our first time staying in VA) and will definitely stay at the Cottage again!

Great Weekend

5 of 5
Submitted: December 1, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
My husband and I came home to the DC area for a Skins game and had a great time. The cottage is in a perfect spot. It's in a really nice, friendly neighborhood. When we weren't out visiting friends we walked to Old Town every night. There are so many nice restaurants and shops within a short stroll. I went to the Whole Foods for a few things and it's just a minute down the road. We did not use the Metro this time but it was nice to know it's only a few blocks away if we needed it. Jack is a wonderful host!

Wonderful!

Submitted: September 17, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
The Cottage is a charming spot in an upscale neighborhood. The two of us were comfortable in every conceivable way: nice bed, linens; extremely well-equippped kitchen; wifi; terrific private patio; W/D; easy access to downtown Alexandria and Metro; calm place of respite from D.C. area touring; lovely art; very welcoming, accommodating host (Jack); and of course, we adored his 4-footed friend--Nylla. (Only caveat might apply to those with ADA concerns, since stairway that goes from bedroom/bathroom on entry floor to kitchen and patio area downstairs is quite narrow/steep.)

We loved The Cottage and hope to return during subsequent trips to D.C.
