Wooded Hillside Retreat in Waldorf, MD - Top 10% and Guest favorite elsewhere
Welcome to our spacious family home in Charles County, Maryland. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood on a serene, wooded lot, this home was the backdrop to many happy memories as our children grew up. Now that our kids are grown and we've downsized, we’re excited to share this space with other groups and families, hoping they will create their own cherished memories here.
Conveniently located just a few miles off Highway 210, our property offers quick access to DC and Northern Virginia via the Beltway. It’s an ideal spot for exploring the Metro DC area while enjoying the peace and quiet of our wooded lot. ________________________________________ Home Layout: This 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home is perfect for family vacations, staff retreats, or group getaways.

House was exactly as described and fit our family perfectly for a short visit to the area. Both dogs enjoyed the doggy door from the kitchen to the fenced backyard. The girls each enjoyed their own rooms, including the finished basement with their own TV. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. Will definitely look to rent this house again in the future if we are back in the area.
This was the perfect get away for our family. We had a wedding in the area and wanted to be able to spend time with our adult kids and grandchild in a comfortable space. This house was perfect! Each couple had their own space to relax and there was plenty of common space to all be together. The communication from the owners was perfect and it was evident they wanted to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. We will be back!!
What a wonderful house for a family to stay at. The home is so charming, inviting, and cozy. We will be forever grateful for all the extra touches and accommodations you provided, to make all feel welcome. This help to make a hard trip so much easier. Thank you from God blessed us with you.
I was worried about booking this house since there weren't many reviews on this platform, but once we arrived all the concerns were gone. My husband and I plus our 4 teenagers/young adults and two dogs had plenty of room to spread out. The house was clean and fully stocked. There is a large collection of dishes, cups, mugs, cookware, baking items, and coffe/tea machines. The backyard was spacious enough for the dogs to run around and it backs up to a wooded area for a feeling of seclusion. The owners were helpful from the beginning and even set up their own dog crates for our dogs so we didn't have to pack ours. I especially appreciated the checkout process, there weren't any crazy expectations like with some rentals. We recommend this place and would stay again if we visit DC in the future. Thank you for having such a lovely place!
Our hosts' Rick and Jenn had everything lined up to make our Family feel welcomed and relaxed. We were in town for a Family Wedding, the home was exactly what we needed to allow us to come and go with a close proximity to the Wedding venue, and with two children, the Home felt like a Home! The Winter Storm hit in the midst of our event and our Host made sure to keep in touch frequently in the event we needed any supplies or support, to include getting the snow removed from the driveway making it safe and easy for us to come and go.
This is just a great house especially for family groups. My husband and i stayed with our son and daughter in law with our dog. The house is in a great neighborhood, very quiet and convenient to so many things. We were near our family who live close as well as doing some sightseeing. The house is very clean and welcoming. We loved it and look forward to our next visit.
