This property was not only beautiful but just perfect for our family. Seven family members stayed, ages five months to 70 years old. There was something for everyone - great accommodations, plenty of room to spread out, lots of toys for the youngest, and all in a beautiful setting. We would highly recommend and would love to visit again. Many thanks to our gracious host, Nancy Gross.
We loved being close to our daughter at AU and close to activities in DC but able to relax in this beautiful home and surrounding wooded hills.We were blessed by daffodils and other spring flowers and deer cam to visit in the yard each morning.So peaceful!Grateful!
The home was beautiful! Enjoyed the privacy with the beautiful trees on the property. Conveniently located to downtown Bethesda and a nice a neighborhood to walk. Very well stocked with everything needed plus more!!! Especially enjoyed the ping pong table!
Our family had a wonderful visit! The property was clean, spacious, and a perfect location. We appreciated the beautiful architecture and scenery surrounding this home. The host was easy to communicate with and this home had everything we needed and more. We would highly recommend this location for your next getaway.
We had a wonderful stay in Nancy and Mark’s house. Beautiful house in a lovely neighborhood. Every detail was perfect. Nancy and Mark are excellent hosts, providing detailed and accurate instructions, and paying attention to every single requirement. The house is spacious and comfortable, fully equipped and in a delightful surrounding.
Fantastic, well equipped home. Close - need car but easy - to all the major DC area attractions. But quiet and peaceful home and neighborhood. Owners communicated clearly and made the process a breeze.
Welcoming, beautifully appointed home in lovely neighborhood. Lots of space to gather or spend time alone, as one wishes. Great kitchen. The multiple levels produced stunning interior views, but the necessary stairs were a struggle for some of us.
Such a beautiful home in a perfect location. Only 10-15 minutes to the Capital Mall and easy drive into Virginia. Home was extremely clean and big enough to offer plenty of space for everyone. I recommend this home to any family visiting the area.
We had a perfect stay at this stunning home in Bethesda. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for cooking family meals. Plenty of towels and linens, the bedrooms were perfect and such a great space for our family of seven to spread out and enjoy the home. Highly recommend this home and thanks to our gracious host for everything.
This home is beautiful throughout and very impressive. It is quite comfortable too. What a luxurious treat and conveniently located in a wooded and quiet setting. AMAZING!
This property is absolutely gorgeous! It is perfect for a family vacation with lots of room and games to play! The house is architecture is stunning in the features are going today! Nancy was so kind and easy to work with and extremely easy to get a hold of! We would recommend this property to anyone going to the DC area.
The house is not only the most beautiful we’ve stayed in but also the most comfortable (its layout, furnishings, kitchen, surroundings). As I think someone else mentioned, it’s even lovelier than the photos show, and the kitchen is even more spacious. Nancy and Mark were quick to respond to emails and very helpful. We hope to return some day.
We had an idyllic stay for a long weekend when we were in town for a graduation. Our hosts could not have been more gracious and the house is absolutely lovely. It was a beautiful piece of country about 25 minutes from downtown. Thank you for sharing your home and making our weekend such a success.

Perfect Venue for a Family Stay
A beautiful home that is comfortable for a family stay. The many levels connected by stairs can be a challenge for the very young and very old but able stair climbers will love the modern elegance of this spacious home. Nancy, the owner was very helpful with rapid responses to my queries. I have no reservations in recommending this lovely home for a stay in the DC area.
This property is more than what we expected. You truly need to bring nothing but food with you.
Nancy was a pleasure to work with. When we had a question she answered right away.
Our family recommends this place to anyone going to this area.
Thank you Nancy for making our time in DC one to remember.

About the host
Hosted by Nancy Gross
We designed and built this family home in 2004 and our son and daughter grew up here. With both kids out of the nest, Mark and Nancy are spending more time at their second home on the nearby Chesapeake Bay. We have enjoyed renting out our Bethesda home to families and business travelers, many whom come to DC for a family wedding, graduation, or to see the sights in the Nation's Capital. We will provide you with a comprehensive house manual, brochures and guides to the tourist spots, and how to find restaurants, grocery stores, public transportation and other necessities nearby. We do our best to provide everything you might need while away from home, including a fully stocked kitchen, reading lamps at every bed, all paper goods, sheets, towels, etc.
Why they chose this property
Our contemporary home is probably the most unique place you will ever stay. We have been renting out this home for short to medium length stays for 10 years. Located at the end of a cul de sac, the back of the house is floor to ceiling windows overlooking woods, and when the leaves our down, a view of the Potomac river. We find the abundance of natural light and closeness to nature soothing in a busy metropolitan area. We have large open spaces to spend time together, but also private spots for quiet time. Our dining table can seat ten, with room to spare for a folding table and chairs if you have guests over for dinner. The back yard and patio is peaceful and a great place to spend time relaxing. The gas grill is always ready to go (no tank required) and the screened porch with a ceiling fan and fireplace allows three season outdoor dining. We love our green oasis, but also appreciate being a 5 minute hop to be on the highway or in downtown Bethesda, or 20 minutes to downtown DC. If you have business at NIH, Marriott, or in the tech corridor on I-270, you can reach any of those spots in minutes. We built our home to stay in this fantastic school district, enjoy living on a dead end street, and to have the open space to entertain our friends, which we love to do and do often! We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do.
What makes this property unique
The best part about staying in our house is being able to have extended family share time together. And because it is our primary home, it is fully stocked with everything you need to feel like you are at home. We make space for our guests in all the closets, bathrooms, etc.
