I could not ask for more!

The entire experience was just right on! The property is nicely remodeled and everything worked great. 11 of us had plenty of space to stretch out. The dock area being deep in the cove was great for the kids! Interaction with our host was quick and very satisfying, They even provided towels for outside. Also, lots of shade which I really appreciate these days.

Relax and/or Play all day!

Our family loved staying at your beautiful home on the lake. Sitting on the upper deck with coffee, and the morning light on the lake was a wonderful way to start the day. After breakfast the kids and most of the adults spent the days playing in the water, paddle boarding, peddle boating and fishing. The home was stocked with anything we needed or wanted, and couldn't have been more welcoming. Ellen was super nice and responded quickly to any questions we had. We would love to go again.

Oasis just far enough away from DC

Beautiful, clean home in a quiet spot of a safe neighborhood. Loved that it was right on the lake and had a variety of things for our friends to do - hot tub, paddle board, hammock, games/puzzles inside. Plenty of bed spots, and great sized kitchen for a large group to socialize/gather. Hosts were super responsive and helpful too.

Exceptional lake vacation

My extended family (16 people tanging from age 11-80) had a wonderful vacation at this house. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The water toys were great!

A great weekend with our soccer family. Stayed in town for a soccer tournament with three other families. All complimented how clean the house was, how the homeowner provided towels, linens, water toys, etc. and she was easy to communicate with. Enjoyed our stay and we hope to be back next year.

Lake of the Woods in the Fall

The property is as large and accommodating and clean and inviting as the pictures show. It has all you need for a large family vacation. A big kitchen, lots of get together space and lots of bedrooms. We were well informed at every stage and Ellen was very prompt and courteous in responding to our questions. A great getaway to enjoy the Lake of the Woods in the fall.

Best Work Trip

I'd love to start with the house and it's amazing rooms, view and amenities but the star here is Ellen. The communication from start to finish and in between was on point. This was a work trip for several colleagues but it became more team building as we shared meals, sunset over the lake and stand up paddle board rides. The home is much better than the already great description. You won't want anything additional other than another night at her property.

Great Getaway

Our group of 16 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It was one of the cleanest rentals I’ve ever been in (and I’ve stayed in many rental properties over the years!), and it was very-well equipped, both in terms of toiletries and towels, etc., and many other items that were just thoughtful—such as sunscreen, goggles and even flip-flops to borrow. There were a few toys that were perfect for the kids in our party, and the rafts, paddle boards and peddle boat were thoroughly enjoyed by all. There is also a little public access beach a short swim or paddle board ride away that was great fun for the littlest members of our group. It was also a super easy drive from the DC/NoVA area. I can definitely see us going back again.

About the host

Hosted by Ellen Richard

Host profile image
Owning a lake house has always been our dream, so when we had a chance to buy this gem in 2022, we jumped on it! We have meticulously improved, cleaned and appointed this home to make it fun and safe for our family as well as yours!

Why they chose this property

We live in the D.C. area and wanted to find a lakefront home that was a short distance away, so we could take advantage of the lake, year round, even if only for just a weekend. We hope that you'll love the Lake of the Woods community as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Private, gated community means you'll have an extra layer of security when staying here. The home is on 98 feet of waterfront, so you can enjoy the lake and still have all of the amenities of the house right at your fingertips. We installed a hot tub, hot water on demand, new windows, new deck, new landscaping and hardscaping - we hope you'll love all of the improvements!
