Family-friendly holiday rentals in Herndon

The pictures do not do it justice! We booked this stay for 7 adults to spend a birthday weekend together. The four main bedrooms on the first floor were spacious and comfortable, the kitchen had plenty of counter space (and was very well stocked with anything you could need) We appreciated the charm of the historic dining room and living area and felt like this property balanced the historic/rustic charm with the modern essentials like AC, good internet, modern appliances, a well maintained hot tub, etc very well. Hikers, you can get right onto the lower town trail from this airbnb. Don’t bother driving and paying the parking fee if you’re willing to tack on two relatively flat miles on the front and back end of your hike. Highly recommend checking out Harper’s ferry brewing! Beware: not to state the obvious but there are very limited Ubers in town so plan accordingly!

This is our second time staying at one of Laura's properties and each time has been terrific! What you see is what you get... a large fully functioning home with easy check-in, nice amenities, responsive host and easy check out! My family and I had a great time, thank you Laura!

Excellent stay! Beautiful locale! Would stay again for sure!

Brooke's place was fantastic and it was easy to communicate with her. Everything was clear and as expected. Thanks Brooke!

This home was the perfect place to celebrate my daughter’s graduation! We had family travel in from several states, and everyone felt comfortable and truly enjoyed the spacious layout. It was a bit too chilly to use the pool, but I’m already looking forward to booking this home again. I’ll definitely be a repeat renter!

We had a wonderful family reunion here with 3 generations. Each family had their own private space but there was tons to do on the property together as well. The hosts were very responsive to our questions and made sure we were comfortable and happy! We appreciated that the kitchen was well stocked, too.

My husband and I stayed here right after we hot married and it was the most lovely experience! It was an absolute blast, I wouldn’t have changed a thing except I wish I could’ve stayed longer. Maud was so sweet and I loved having her as a host. Cannot recommend enough!

Kelly's place is a 5 star getaway. easily fit my family of 10. she answered my questions almost before I'd even asked them. it was close and convenient to everything while being secluded at the same time. beautiful cabin with great amenities. the beds were among the most comfortable any of us have been in. thank you so much!

Linda and Jay seemingly were put on this earth to be incredible hosts. Their hospitality is hands down the best I’ve ever experienced and only added value to this already cozy and comfortable home. They have a ton of recommendations for the area and decades of personal experience in this region. I look forward to future opportunities for our paths to cross!

Nestled in the Aurora Hills neighborhood of Arlington, you'll find a gem of a listing, far enough from the hustle and bustle of Pentagon and Crystal City but close enough to be there in mere minutes. Beyond that, this locale is close enough to the District that you can be at the Smithsonian and assorted museums in no time, and can easily access the Pier/Naval Yard with a simple transfer. As for the amenities of this location, it has everything you'd need for a short to moderate stay. The shower was incredibly hot, which I preferred. So, if you are looking for a place a bit out of the mix but close enough to be in it at a moment's notice, then please look no further than this great listing.

Great place to stay in Georgetown. Place was clean and felt hospitable

David and Elizabeth’s place was perfect for my fiancé and our dog Kai. We attended a music festival at RFK and it was a short drive away. We actually ended up riding scooters back because it is so close by! There are so many restaraunts and things to do within walking distance. Check-in was super easy and it’s a very homey, comfortable space. The kitchen has a small fridge, toaster oven, microwave and hot plate with pots, pans, and everything you need to prepare a basic meal. We were able to set our dogs crate up (he’s a medium sized husky) perfectly and still had plenty of space to move around. Finding street parking was super easy and close by. You can hear noise from above at times for sure… ear plugs and a night time noise machine are provided to help. Overall we enjoyed our stay!

Julia's place is an Idyllic setting - so tranquil, yet close enough to a great tavern for dinner. Amazing - we cannot wait to come back.

Rebecca’s place was much bigger than we expected and had everything we needed. So happy that our dogs were able to stay with us! Beautiful, quiet neighborhood with a path nearby that lead to a playground and area to walk our dogs. Will definitely stay again!

Overall a very nice place, I noticed other comments to mention noise from the upstairs unit, but it was unnoticeable and the quiet hours were respected so it was great for resting after a long day! The place is close to two metro stations, but although Maps recommended another one, we preferred using Columbia Heights. The area was very safe to walk around, we explored some of the local places and definitely recommend the Mount Desert Island Ice Cream place, best ice-cream in the neighborhood! Lexie was very nice, helpful and allowed us to drop off our bags a couple of hours earlier since we needed to get downtown to run errands. The place was very comfortable, just like the pictures and everything was great! Would definitely come back!

The house was so uniquely quaint! It was truly a time to unwind from the craziness of this world! No TV other than in the upstairs bedroom and no Wi-Fi, which made it so nice to “unplug”! The sauna was absolutely amazing! The two options of fire pits to relax and have s’mores! The fireplace in the main living room was such an added bonus, to take the chill off in the morning and to just have a nice fire in the evening before bed. The fact that they had food there for us for breakfast was truly amazing! A bottle of wine to share, which was great considering we were there for our anniversary. You can get to so many places within 20 to 40 minutes! We went into Harpers Ferry for dinner at the Rabbit Hole! Harpers Ferry is a must to visit if you are in the area! Tons of trails, white water rafting and things to see and do are all just a short drive away. If you want a place to truly unwind, this is it! 🥰

The place was charming, well stocked and very comfortable. The communication was great and we would definitely rent again.

We had a great time and parked right in front of the apartment. After I stood there and held the spot for our big truck. Lol took my hubby an hour to get back to me but I remained standing for him to park and not letting anyone else park there 🤣🤣🤣🤣 place was great. Thanks!

Greg’s place was very clean and in a great location. Walkable to markets, restaurants, and metro. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. It was a great place to stay during our family vacation to DC!

Calvin's place was exactly what we needed and much more. It was described accurately, yet exceeded expectations with tiny details. For example, there was not only coffee and tea available, but creamer in the fridge, too. We had a peaceful night sleep and a nice shower. I recommend this place to anyone needing a quiet space to work and stay in the area.

Nathan has a lovely home—it feels like stepping back in time into one of old Washington’s charming houses. Everything was spotless and well-maintained, and communication with Nathan was excellent. The location is convenient, about a 25-minute walk to Capitol Hill. While the surrounding area could be better—the streets were a bit dirty—it wasn’t a big deal and didn’t affect our overall experience. We had a wonderful time in Washington, and staying at this house was definitely part of it. Thank you, Nathan!

House is amazing!! Everything was perfect and well organized!! Will definitely be back at this property. Excellent communication.

Very responsive host. Clean space in a great location!

lovely place in a great location and a friendly and responsive host, enjoyed our stay greatly.
