Each tent sleeps 2 guests (one has a King bed and one has two Full beds, pillows and linens included).

*During spring/summer/fall months (March-November) the rental price includes the cottage (which sleeps 8) AND the two heated/air conditioned safari tents (which sleep an additional 4).

General Notes:
-Access to the cottage requires taking the deck stairs to the front door and the stairs are not handicapped accessible.
-The ground level of the cottage is all storage and not accessible or available for use.
-The 12 person guest limit assumes that 8 people will be sleeping inside and 4 people will be sleeping in the tents (the tents are steps away from the cottage).
-Property is extremely private with Piscataway Park (and a public boat ramp) on one side and a tree farm on the other side.
-The 12 person guest limit is strictly enforced unless prior approval has been granted for a private event. Private events have additional fees and require rental of portable toilets.
-No pets allowed.
-There are two video cameras on the exterior of the house. They monitor the parking area and the backyard.
-Bryans Road is a very small town and as such the local dining and entertainment options are very limited. The towns of Waldorf and La Playa are a 15-20 minute drive and have many options but we want our guests to be aware of this before booking so that they can plan accordingly (or book elsewhere if local dining and entertainment options are a priority).
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cottage, which has a kitchen. There's a private patio.

Worth It!!
This place has enough land for the kids to explore with a view of the water. The host was fast in responding and providing us with whatever we need. We was able to check in early and out late free of charge. I do recommend this property to get the family together. Hopefully the next time we can rent both houses to enjoy all the acres the property has to provide. A getaway that’s not too far. Thank you for all of your assistance. We will be back!

Family Trip
Hello! Our family travelled down to see the 125th Army/Navy game. We were looking for a place that could hold 10 people. We were so excited about this home and the view was great! A very unique property and Danna was an excellent host! Great job Danna!!!

We had four families stay at this property with ages from 1.5 to 45 and I have to say we absolutely loved it. The property Manager Danna was more than receptive to every single message that was sent before and during our stay. We gave a few notes/feedback regarding laundry and towels but other than that we loved staying there and hope to go back someday!!!! Amazing place

The Potomac House is a gem!
My younger sister and I hosted a wonderful reunion weekend with our baby sister and 5 aunts who live across the country. It was wonderful! The place is very cute and well-appointed. The beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and well-stocked. The kitchen was also well-stocked and a dream to cook in. I am excited to return with my own children and grandchildren!

Lovely Summer Vacation
Our family of 9 stayed here while visiting DC for a few days. The property was so nice and accommodating for our large family that it was hard to leave to explore the city. There was more than enough of everything, towels, linen, etc. The hostess was easy to communicate with. The house was clean and looks exactly as pictured. The tents were amazing, exceeded our expectations! We enjoyed the hot tub as well. Overall it was a great stay and we would definitely return and recommend to anyone but especially a family that is looking for the home away from home feel.

Awesome place, awesome stay!
The property was far enough from everyone and everything but still right around the corner from about anything we needed. The wildlife was a refreshing sight to see. We saw a bald eagle, turkeys, deer, and had the pleasure of being greeted by Mr. Rabbit each morning and evening. The house was fresh and clean. The only issue was we were unaware that there are no closets or laundry equipment when we booked. The a/c worked great, and each room had strong fans. The beds were more than comfortable. We did not sleep in the tents, but they were cool during the evenings. The yard is as big as a soccer field and well maintained all around. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this property if are looking for tranquility while being less than an hour from DC.
