European Guesthouse, Kensington, Md. Holiday Rentals

Description for B&B:

Experience the warm hospitality of your European hostess, a former World Bank economist, as she invites you to her charming and romantic Cape Cod home, just 25 minutes away from the White House and the US Capitol. This cozy abode offers modern amenities such as central air conditioning and heating, WIFI, a delightful sun terrace, and a magical garden with a spacious private pool.

Indulge in the comfort of the PENTHOUSE suite on the top floor, boasting a picturesque view of the pool and neighboring gardens. Featuring elegant wooden floors, a private bathroom, and a generously-sized bedroom complete with built-in bookcases, a desk, and two small closets.

On the MAIN LEVEL, you'll find a spacious dining room/living room combination that opens up to a terrace leading to the backyard. The country-style kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher, gas range, microwave, food processor, coffee maker, and a large fridge.

Nestled in a lush and leafy 1950s-style neighborhood, this home is conveniently located near major access roads and public transportation. A short 10-15 minute walk will take you to the MARC train, which effortlessly transports you to the US Capitol and the White House in just 25 minutes (4 stops). Additionally, a quick 5-minute drive will lead you to Beach Drive, a scenic road through forests and parklands, offering a picturesque route to downtown DC in approximately 20-30 minutes (please be aware of deer crossing!). Furthermore, the home is within walking distance of two metro stations on the red line and various metro buses to downtown Washington DC and Bethesda.

Should you choose to stay within the neighborhood, you can unwind and soak up the sun at the pool, creating your own private oasis near the heart of the world's capital. Alternatively, take a leisurely stroll to Antique Row in old-town Kensington (just a 10-minute walk from the home), where you can browse through charming shops and dine at one of the local restaurants. For outdoor enthusiasts, enjoy a jog or bike ride along Beach Drive, or venture to the stunning Mormon Temple at Beach Drive & Stoneybrook (only a 5-minute drive or a 15-minute walk).

In summary, there is an abundance of activities to engage in (or simply relax and do nothing at all) both within and around the home - ensuring that boredom is never an option.
