Bright, spacious house with private, scenic backyard in Arlington Forest

Bright, airy home for relaxing, cooking and or dining in. Minutes away from Ballston and Clarendon's metro and social venues. Stroll down the street and enjoy Sparrow's Pond and Five Mile Run. Or get away from it all by walking down the stones steps in the backyard to a private, scenic spot.

Easy in and out and great location for getting around DC/arlington area. Surrounded with trees and nature but right off a highway, best of both worlds.

The house was comfortable and spacious in a lovely neighborhood close to DC. We especially enjoyed being in such close walking distance to the greenway. Our host was welcoming and replied quickly to any questions. DWoulddefinitely stay here again!

The closeness to Ft. Myers was a big plus. The view of Arlington Forest was great. The stairs inside were a challenge. Access to the magnificent seating in the forest was also a challenge. A patio setting close to the house would have been helpful; yet the inside nook was great and similar to a patio. This was my first VRBO; I'll ask about stairs/steps next time. The host was helpful and responsive.

First morning we saw a herd of deer on the backyard. Every morning there was a brillant sunrise from our upstairs bedroom. About 1 mile walk to the metro. Outback and Thai restaurant across the strret and a coffee cafe.

This house worked out really well. The owner was great about responding to questions. The house was less than 10 minutes away from a decent parking garage and the metro stop. We left a few recommendations for the owner to include in their note to guests, but overall we would 100% recommend this listing to friends visiting DC.

We had a great stay. It was like home. I had asked the host about a coffee pot as I did not see one in pictures. We packed ours, but when we got to the house the host had one. 😊☕️ Enjoyed being able to sit outside as the weather was beautiful, and having coffee down in the woods. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. The house was easy to get to. Will definitely stay here again. ♥️♥️

The property was clean and appeared recently remodled. It backed to a nice private, scenic area but, we did not explore it. We were missing a few minor things in the kitchen but, the owner/manager was responsive and provided what we requested. The property was in a perfect location for us. It is in beautiful Arlington with everything one needs in a close distance. We were there in a stressful time but, it was a nice reprieve.

Nice home in a pretty neighborhood. Newer furnishings and decor. Clean. A few suggestions: Kitchen towels and dish cloths needed. Hand soaps would be great. A proper amount of bath towels and wash clothes. Window coverings for downstairs bathroom and bedrooms above the beds. It was kind of strange to have a car in the driveway and a bike in the front yard. You may consider portioning off your office space downstairs. I would recommend this place to others and would stay there again.

Cute house with suburban feel close to everything with only issue being basic housekeeping. We arrived to find a bottom sheet only on one bed and only a top sheet on the other after our ten hour drive. Not excited to go on sheet hunt and make beds. We had to rewash all dishes and silverware ptior to use. The dishwasher didn’t work. Dust rose from stained couches. A deep cleaning is all that's needed to make place a gem.

A very nice house in a quiet neighborhood. Woods back up to the house adding to the privacy. The back room off of the kitchen is a great spot for morning coffee, as you are at the level of the trees. The neighborhood is walkable, and Lubber Run Park is a short drive away, but worth it, for the trails along the creek. Also convenient is a small strip mall directly across Hwy 50 from the house, with an Outback, a pizza place, a Thai place and a coffee house. Less than a minute's drive. The host was VERY responsive (I had lots of questions), and left plenty of supplies for our use, which was greatly appreciated. Do keep in mind, though, that it is a 2 story house, in case stairs are an issue for you. All in all a lovely house in a great neighborhood. We would stay here again!

We very much enjoyed our stay and would return. The patio in the backyard and front porch are great places to wind down after a day of adventure
