POTOMAC BREATH-TAKING RIVER VIEW, "THE VIEWPOINT,” MINUTES FROM DC

*Please note the majority of our reviews are on a different booking website.*
*Please do not message us asking about discounts, and we have a 30 day minimum. For security for all of our guests and because we are often booked back-to-back, we do not allow showings nor provide the address prior to your stay. *

Are you looking for a magical getaway to spend some time with family or relatives? OR, you might be looking for that one special (never to forget) rare setting for a corporate retreat. In addition to this, we often host high-profile clientele and provide optimum privacy.

If so, we welcome you to THE VIEWPOINT. This resort-like setting is located in Potomac, Maryland. This might be one of the most beautiful settings in the DC area. Located just miles away from the nation's Capitol, the political capital of the world in Washington DC.

Did you know that if you book with Viewpoint, our guests are treated with five-star service? You and 2 guests can have one complimentary drive to DC (once a month) with a driver in a 2020 Rolls Royce Phantom, our company car! *Restrictions (mileage) rules (number of people and cleanliness) apply* Not only that, but once a month, our preferred cleaning service will clean the home for you. (This does not apply to personal laundry)

Luxury begins at the Viewpoint: this 6 bedroom and 6 1/2 baths with a "mansion like" feel, resembles a 5-star resort. You will enjoy this secluded and natural setting. The sprawling grounds are beautifully manicured!

The views of the Potomac Canal and the Potomac River are relaxing and surreal.
Just miles from the political hub of the world, The Viewpoint is secluded and has spectacular views of the Potomac canal all year round and during the fall and winter you will enjoy spectacular views of the Potomac River.

The Viewpoint is cradled by natural wildlife, for bikers, walkers, and hikers you will be spoiled by a National Treasure the C&O Canal and The Potomac River, located literally in the backyard. The Viewpoint offers the Potomac Canal towpath for biking, walking, and hiking which extends 184 miles from Cumberland Maryland all the way down to Georgetown.

If you loved riding your bike as a child, and if you love getting exercise, and if you love taking in wildlife while in their natural setting, you are in for a treat! With no stop lights or hills on the C&O canal towpath, enjoy our touring bikes made by Specialized, which are provided for your enjoyment.

The interior of The Viewpoint resembles a five-star feel. Find the comforts of home as you have ample room for meetings or just memorable times with loved ones.

Take in the mighty Great Falls, just 2 1/2 miles north by bike or foot. Local rental facilities offer kayaks, boats and paddle boards.

Why is this property named, "The Viewpoint"?

Yes, the property has an exceptional view, but we know it's our mental viewpoint that determines our circumstances, our outcomes and the quality of our lives. This is a place to ponder and ultimately fine tune your viewpoint about the things that are important in your life.

This quality stay and quality venue will be a time you will always remember.

So, why no reviews?! We JUST got on VRBO. This home is a new build and for the last year, we have rented this place out on another booking site. Here is a review for this property, from the other booking site we have used:

"The Viewpoint property FAR EXCEEDED our expectations. The pictures simply did not do the property justice. The interior was immaculately designed, with intricate and interesting pieces that cultivated a peaceful and home-like feel. The neighborhood is quiet and serene. Large windows on every floor saturate the house in natural light, allowing for full views of the Potomac River and wooded scenery all around. A large deck off the main level is great for outdoor family time or peaceful reflections over a book, with the sounds of nature and singing birds in the backdrop. Our son loved exploring all nature had to offer in the surroundings. Privacy is easily achieved in this location, with a highly functional layout prime for large groups or families. There are separate laundry facilities in the basement and upper levels, as well as a game and yoga room downstairs. The bedrooms all have thoughtful themes and exceptional bedding allowing for a great night’s rest. The chef’s kitchen is a wonderful gathering space, with a double sized island and ample seating for family congregation around lovely meals. The bonus of the experience at Viewpoint was exceptional customer service by Horizon Management, who was responsive to all of our needs in exceptional time. Our family was expecting a baby during our time at Viewpoint and there is absolutely no greater place we could have chosen to welcome our bundle of joy."

Beautifully appointed Riverview getaway in the woods, just 20 minutes from DC

We absolutely loved our experience at Viewpoint! The management is absolutely superior and was always responsive to any question that we had. Their directions for check-in are extremely organized and helpful. Our company had a small retreat at Viewpoint. Everyone loved it. From the themed rooms, to the comfy beds, to the amazing view… We were all comfortable and truly in heaven. If you are thinking about booking a stay here, just do it, and do not even think about it!We are so happy with our experience and will definitely be coming back again and again.

Interior Designer- I booked this space for my photoshoot... It's BEAUTIFUL!

I'm an interior designer. I booked viewpoint so I could photograph pillows that I sell. The home is serene, it's beautiful in appearance inside and out- and the view is incredible. 20 minutes from DC, this would be a perfect place for a work retreat or for a family that was looking for a quiet place to stay or work. I was comfortable staying here due to the safe and upscale neighborhood. When my nephew visited, we did not have to worry about the street- since the home is basically in a culdesac at the end of a quiet neighborhood road- and a long ways away from the main street. The management were a small business/family business who genuinely cared about our stay. They left us a gift when we arrived to welcome us. I never had any concerns. The management sent a snow plow out quickly after it snowed to ensure that the grounds were safe for me and my family- without prompting them or asking! The grounds were kept up nicely- the grass was cut and no overgrown weeds or anything like that. We were so grateful for a wonderful trip with zero hiccups. Would recommend to anyone on VRBO- and to all my friends and family! You cannot go wrong staying at viewipoint.

Amazing place to stay

The Viewpoint is an amazing property. It doesn't feel like a sterile short term rental, you will feel like you are at home. The property is in excellent condition and just as described. The management team are truly excellent, they are always available for questions or advice, if you need anything it is taken care of right away. Location is superb, its a lovely neighbourhoods in an exclusive DC suburb. You can get to DC or VA in 20 minutes. Just five minutes away you have two supermarkets, pharmacies, sit down dining, fast food, cafes, barber, gas stations, pretty much anything you may need on a daily basis. 15 minutes away you have movie theaters, malls, pretty much anything else you may need. My family loves all the greenery and the wildlife that comes though every day. Always nice to just stand and enjoy the views. If you are looking for a home to stay in with a central location but a quiet secluded vibe you couldn't chose a better place to stay. I have been renting properties (mostly 1 month +) for years and I can say with full confidence that the team in charge of the Viewpoint is the best that I have ever dealt with. They are courteous, prompt and welcoming. Don't think twice, go ahead a book.

No Brainer

Everything about this property is just right. Location: Its pretty much equidistant from whatever you need in MD, VA, and DC. There are several malls within 20 minutes. Kids activities are close by. Grocery store/pharmacy/restaurants/fast food within 5 minutes of the house. Its close to what you need and at the same time has a nice secluded feel. The property: all the amenities that you need are available and in excellent condition. The house is spacious and comfortable. My family of six stayed there for an extended stay and where very comfortable. Everything is as described. Host: The host was truly excellent. Everything was taken care of. Information was clear, if I we had any questions they were answered promptly and clearly. If anything came up or needed attention it was taken care of promptly. We really cant say enough about the how good and welcoming the host is. We really were made to feel like guests and not just random anonymous people staying at a sterile rental property. If we could give the host more than five stars we would. The housekeeper was excellent too, she deserves her own five star rating. My family and I would be more than happy to rent with them again and stay in this beautiful home. If you are thinking about staying at this property just go ahead and book, you wont regret it.

About the host

Hosted by Elaina Simpson

Host profile image
My late grandparents lived in this home and they purchased the property in the 1950's from David Brinkley (TV News Anchor and Host). When my grandparents past, we renovated the home completely, making it a new build. We have since added this property to our group of homes and vacation rentals that Horizon Development and Management owns and manages. Horizon Development and Management is my father's company. I love to meet tenants as this is a long term rental (30+ days), to ensure it is a good fit, and to answer all your questions about the home. After you book, we will have a quick zoom call. As a family owner of the home, I look out for it and book our tenants. However, there is also a whole team (other family members and employees) at Horizon Management that works full-time to support your needs and they will give you five-star service.

Why they chose this property

This property is secluded, safe, and has an amazing view.
Ever been to a vacation rental and wondered if it was cleaned? Well, that's not the case with us. Everything is cleaned from top to bottom (even the throw blankets are washed, needless to say) and everything is disinfected to serve your needs. Not only that, but after our tried-and-true amazing cleaners come, we still check the house twice to make sure it is beautiful and ready for you.
