Enjoy your stay in this spacious 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath home in Charles County, Maryland. It is the perfect blend of a quiet neighborhood and a serene, wooded lot - it was actually the moment we stepped onto the back deck and heard sounds from the woods and not traffic, that we decided to put an offer on the property back in 2002. This was our family home as our boys were growing up and we have made many happy memories here. Now that our kids are grown and we have downsized, it is our hope that many other groups and families will enjoy this space.
As long-time VRBO guests for both work and family, we have done our best to include all the extra touches that make us feel at home whether on staff retreat or a family vacation. The kitchen is Jenn's happy place so you will find plenty of extra's there, as well as a coffee bar with regular brew, K-cups, french press and a milk frother for both hot and cold foam, along with an electric kettle and a generous assortment of teas.
Enjoy both generously sized bedrooms and plenty of gathering spaces. The dining room easily holds large groups, there front room has a dedicated office space with a monitor to connect to for those that need to work, there is a large family room on the main level and a smaller sitting area in the basement complete with TV for those who want to watch something different (or game). We also have a game-room space for the group with board games and card games, books and some extra's for little ones.
If you are traveling with little ones, please do let us know. We have two pack-and-plays, a highchair, a booster seat, a baby bathtub, step-stools for every bathroom and extra toys all available on property to put out for those traveling with younger children.
The backyard is one of our happy places, with both upper and lower-level decks, a large gas grill, plenty of seating and extra lighting on the lower level. Deer, wild turkeys, owls, opossum and many other critters are common sightings just beyond the fence. For your furry family, there is a doggie door leading to a fully fenced backyard (with an extension that goes up to 6ft, because one of our labs was an overachiever when motivated by those deer outside the fence). The doggie door is in the exterior storm door, so easy to close off if you don't want your pet to have access. We also provide pet bowls and a large dog bed for those traveling with pets.
We are just a few miles off HWY 210, which leads right into DC and is an easy connector to 495/Beltway to go into Northern Virginia or anywhere around the Metro DC area.
