It was such a treat to be able to stay here! The location was perfect, a very close drive to I-95, Woodbridge, Lorton, and only a few blocks away from the stores and restaurants in Occoquan. The nature surrounding the house was lovely. The house was very comfortable and the kitchen and laundry room were well equipped with cooking supplies and laundry. detergent. Check in and out was simple and strait forward and our host was very responsive to any questions that we had. The next time we are back in Northern Virginia, we hope to stay here again.

Relaxing but Close to Everything!

Absolutely loved our stay. The property is close to everything, but out of the way so you feel like you are in the woods. The deck off of the master was absolutely wonderful. We were very lucky that we got to see a Firework show perfectly from the comfort of the house. Would definitely stay again!!

Nice place

Eclectic Furnishings but pretty comfy place. Some of the floors bowed significantly in the family room and upstairs bedroom and the outside looks like it could use some attention. We enjoyed our stay as the location was great.

Business/Family Trip

My spouse had a training in DC and we decided to make it a family trip. So we brought 4 kids and a fur baby. The place was spacious and comfortable. We did have an accident while staying and the insurance was able to handle the situation. We enjoyed our stay.

Family gathering

With two adult children living in the area, the rest of my family and some local cousins used this house as our base for a few days. We all loved the house, the shady location, short walk to town and the river, picnics on the dock, game nights in the downstairs family room and easy dog walks with our senior pup. The house was perfect!

Perfect for Family Reunion

This is a perfect house for a family reunion in Occoquan and more than ample space for 6+, with a spacious upstairs master bedroom with amazing deck and view and two downstairs bedrooms, each with two twin beds. In addition, the spacious family room was the perfect gathering place for the entire extended family in the area.Checking in and out is super easy with the digital lock, and Fred is easily accessible both through VRBO and texting.

October 24

We stayed in Occoquan in the days leading up to a convention in DC. The location was excellent, the town very charming. The house is an older house, which has undergone extensive updates and renovations. There are a few items still to be addressed, but nothing to dampen our stay. We look forward to returning to enjoy nearby kayaking.

40/70 family birthday party

Fred’s home was a perfect spot for our family weekend celebration. Lots of room to enjoy the surrounding woods and wildlife. We saw birds, deer, and a fox when we sat outside. The fire pit was all ready to go but rain cancelled our plans. The tri- level house worked well for our large family Comfy beds, plenty of towels and linens were easily accessible. The trip to town was an easy 5 minute walk from home Thank you for sharing your lovely property Highly recommend.
