The house itself was beautiful, very clean, well kept, and just as pictured. The owners were responsive and quick to answer any of my questions, which I appreciated. We also enjoyed the location. There’s a nice little town nearby, and Washington, D.C. was only a short drive away to catch the metro into the city. The property felt private and secluded, which was exactly what we were looking for.We were disappointed to find that while the website advertised a fire pit, the house rules on-site said renters could not use it.The biggest frustration, though, was the fees. We paid cleaning and pet fees upfront. The listing states the price includes all fees with no hidden charges, so we were surprised to be contacted after checkout and asked for an additional fee for excessive pet hair and cleaning, especially since we vacuumed thoroughly before leaving and followed all care instructions provided. With cleaning and pet fees already charged, this felt like a hidden or double fee.Overall, the home itself was wonderful, but the restrictions on listed amenities, and surprise fees after the fact really took away from the experience.
