We were looking for a place to stay outside Washington DC since the hotels and parking in DC are so outrageous. (Valet or offsite parking often adds $40 or more to each night at a hotel)
Our daughter lives on Capitol Hill, but she was glad to come out to stay with us since our visit wan't dependent on being there. We were a little less than an hour from downtown DC, an hour or less from Shenendoah National Park (depending on which entrance you used), only about a half hour from Fredricksburg, within about 10 minutes of the National Museum of the Marine Corps (SO SO great to visit!!) and right next to Quantico Marine Corps Base if you are visiting someone there. I think someone mentioned it being close to Appotmatox also, but we were so busy seeing what we could, we never checked the distance on that. So, this property is perfectly situated for a great weekend away to visit many historical sites, or even DC proper without breaking the bank on hotels!
The property itself was lovely and just like represented in the pictures. It has a dorm size fridge and microwave for quick warm up or storage of restaurant leftovers, which suited us fine!
The hostess was very responsive to inquiries, and checked in on us when we arrived to make sure everything was good and we had what we needed. We had a wonderful stay and we would stay here again if/when we come back into the DC area
