About this property

Shanti/Peace Home & Garden

The Shanti Home & Garden is a beautiful, cozy gem tucked in a leafy neighborhood. You will be pleasantly surprised at how peaceful it is, despite being conveniently close (15-25 minutes) to the major attractions across Washington DC, Arlington, Alexandria, and National Harbor. Restaurants, cafes, stores, gyms, trails, grocery, bus stops, and Capital Bikeshare are within walking distance. It is perfect for your getaway, family/friends vacation, staycation, business trip, and remote working.

The Home:
Nestled in a garden, the Shanti Home welcomes you with abundant charm and sunlight. It has split-level layout with 2 separate living rooms decorated with unique, eclectic arts and crafts curated from different corners of the world.

-1st level has a living room equipped with a Smart TV for your entertainment. Also located on the 1st floor are a full bathroom and a laundry room.
-2nd level (half flight of stairs from 1st level) has another living room, dining area, and full kitchen.
-3rd level (half flight of stairs from 2nd level) has 3 bedrooms and another full bathroom.

There is a private driveway for parking.

The Garden:
Nature lovers rejoice! The garden provides fresh air, tranquility, and complete privacy. A safe habitat to birds, bunnies, chipmunks, and squirrels, this garden has evergreen trees.

You will find 2 climbing rose plants here whose parent plant survived Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana. Marigolds that originated from Nelson Mandela’s house garden in South Africa bloom in summer. At the back corner of this garden, there is a Bamboo grove with prayer flags from the Himalayas of Nepal—an ideal spot to relax, meditate, and/or reflect.

During the day, you can sunbathe, picnic under the Cherry and Japanese Maple trees, and nap in the hammocks. As night falls and stars appear, the patio string lights create a warm and dreamy ambience for you to relish in.

Lovely home away from home

This is one of the best places in which we’ve ever stayed. The bedrooms were all comfortable and main spaces well appointed. One of my pet peeves when staying at a property is not enough seating for the number of guests. This property had ample seating around the dining table as well as the living areas. The cleanliness was excellent. The hosts definitely raised the bar by providing snacks, plenty of towels, and higher quality bathroom supplies. We appreciated not having a huge list of “to dos” for checkout.The outdoor space was extra lovely. We were lucky enough to be there while the wisteria was in bloom and the smell was intoxicating and relaxing. We were in town for a funeral at Arlington National Cemetery and this home definitely reflected its name. It brought us peace and much needed family time.
Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025

Namaste!

I am Suraj. My story began in Nepal, a small and beautiful country known for its majestic Himalayas, lush valleys, ancient temples, and warm hospitality. I love connecting meaningfully with people from all walks of life and corners of the world. Having lived, studied, and worked in countries across Asia, Europe, and North America, I chose to call the DC area home. I enjoy traveling, cooking mean curries, and collecting eclectic art.
