Thanks, Jack, for a wonderful stay!
Review Submitted: August 9, 2009
Date of Stay: August 2008
Our stay was all we had anticipated, and more! Jack greeted us and showed us around this charming cottage and we were so impressed with the amenities......from incidentals such as cotton balls and Q-tips in the bathroom to a well stocked pantry - right down to spices and hot chocolate! Jack had provided us with a pitcher of orange juice, yogurt, English muffins, and jelly for our first day’s breakfast, but it lasted us several days. There was even a container of half-&-half to go with our coffee!
The yard is quiet, except for the song of birds, and we enjoyed relaxing there, enjoying the beautiful flowers and plants. The convenience of being able to prepare our own breakfast every morning, lunch a few times, and even dinner one night when were tired of restaurant food is priceless.
The neighborhood is middle-class, immaculate and very safe. It was a peasant walk to the Metro, but next time, we’ll take the bus to the King Street station. It was great walking there in the morning, but after sightseeing all day long in the August heat, we opted to take a bus back to the corner stop. There is only 3 hour, on street parking within a half-mile of the Metro station.
What more can we say.......if we go back to the DC area again, and we probably will, we’ll definitely stay at “Jack’s Cottage” !!

Owner's Response: ALL DAY Street parking is available off the main street, which leads to the Metro. Additionally, you can drive 12 minutes to Huntington Metro Station and park your car there ALL DAY for $4.95 (there over 3,100 parking spaces!)
