Very comfy home … fantastic setting with great views outside living room picture window … fireplace roars and natural setting (on 10acres!) is amazing considering it is in the middle of a high end residential neighborhood .. convenient … owner told us in advance hot water was out- was ok with us - and offered partial refund which we are sure is on the way — great for families and pets !!

If you want to be VERY close to DC but also have the ability to relax in a wooded setting, this place can’t be beat. A week of sightseeing in DC can be overwhelming. The location of this rental gives you an opportunity to take a break and walk the C&O canal, hike in Great Falls Park or do some wallet damage at Tyson’s Mall. Nestled in the woods, the house is very clean with plenty of indoor and outdoor space for relaxing.

Busy DC Days/Relaxing Nights in McLean

Perfect place to stay when visiting DC. We were about 20 minutes from downtown but felt like we were at a retreat when we were at the house. Loved sitting by the fire outside and listening/watching the wildlife. Saw all kind of birds & a buck and doe were grazing every morning. House had plenty of room for all of us. Grocery & restaurants nearby, we cooked most of our dinners at the house and had everything we needed. Cam is an excellent host and was available whenever we had any questions.

Family memories

We needed a place for 8 of us to be with our son who lives in Baltimore over the holidays. We choose this place due to being only 20-40 mins from DC with a variety of things to do. We had our son's two dogs with us and they had plenty of yard and space to move around. We were able to make a big Christmas dinner for 12 there and a few other meals at the house easily. Cameron was easy to get a hold of and help explain the pellet stove and stovetop. There are enough rooms and comfortable beds for everyone. A great space to stay.

Beautiful, peaceful location

Beautiful, peaceful, wooded location close to DC. We saw a fox right up next to the house. Lots of windows to enjoy the views. Interesting decor although house could use some updating. We did struggle figuring out how to heat various rooms and the staircase to the basement is tricky for the very young, the very old, and those with bad balance, but other than that the house was comfortable and worked well for our needs. Cameron was a wonderful host and went out of his way to make our stay great.

Very nice place

We enjoyed our stay with a few hiccups. It was spacious and pretty set in the woods. The bridge leading to the driveway was a little scary at first. We went to the nearby Walmart to get groceries so we could cook while there. The grill outside looked like it had not been cleaned in a long time and the utensils next to it were all dirty and full of spiderwebs so we did not grill out the burgers we bought. There was no cookie sheet or pan to make our fries so we had to use tin foil and had to use tin foil for our pizza as there was a pizza pan but it was too big to fit in the oven. There was a tv in the main bedroom but it did not work. We killed 12 bugs during our five day stay. I know it is set in a woodsy area but that was a little much. The water pressure in the main bathroom shower upstairs was not great.

Property has an amazing beautiful yard. Very secluded and a little stream running through it. Very quiet and relaxing. The house is very unique with abundant glass giving expansive views of the yard. The furnishings are comfortable with very nicely clean and new bathrooms. Bedrooms are comfortable and the beds are super comfortable I would highly recommend this property that is only minutes from the heart of DC. The thing i would improve would be newer gas grill on the deck

Home town vacation

My husband and I needed a place to stay in Mclean while our kitchen floors were refinished and Ranleigh Retreat was within a few miles of our house. Communication with the owner was easy and the house was clean and had a well-stocked kitchen which was a welcome surprise. The house is older, rustic, and located near Pimmit Run. The road leading to the house is wide enough for one vehicle and the bridge is rather narrow. That said, we had no issues getting to the property. We had a good stay and I appreciate the excellent communication with the owner.

Great Location

We visited DC for a few days and this house was in a great spot to be close enough to all of the sights in DC but far enough to enjoy the peace and quiet with a great yard for our dog to enjoy. Plenty of space for a family of 4 and my teen daughter appreciated having her own private bathroom. Would definitely stay here again!

Incredible stay, sad to leave

We absolutely loved this property. The home is located over a private bridge on an acre property. Check-in was flawless. The home was super clean. The house is a large ranch with plenty of room for family and entertaining friends. The deck is big and is located right off of the kitchen so it's easy to eat dinner outside. The home is very comfortable and well-appointed. The kitchen has high end appliances and the washer and dryer downstairs are new and large. The house is located close to many DC and Virginia attractions and neighborhoods. .
