90th Birthday Celebration made even more memorable
We stayed at Gruner Bungalow during July 4th weekend for my father's 90 birthday and family celebration. Anita was a great host - responsive, accommodating to our needs, on-site support and truly and genuinely interested in the success of our celebration. The house itself was well maintained and more than adequately accommodated our family who stayed at the bungalow as well as those who participated in our gathering during the day and evening. The rooms were perfect in size and well maintained. The pool itself was great for having fun and overall chilling. The bungalow was next to Otium cellars tasting room so we were able to enjoy the amazing wines that were available... their staff was amazing and supportive as well. The grounds were simply beautiful. As an additional benefit, we were able to watch the Franklin Park fireworks from the venue. We will definitely stay at Gruner Bungalow again (hopefully for my father’s 95th and 100th birthdays) and visit Otium cellars in the mean time as well.

Wonderful family celebration
Our family had the best time at this enormous house. The kids loved the pool and game room. And the second kitchen area was big enough for our large sit down dinner. The host was amazing throughout the stay. For example, we asked for wine glasses and they brought them over literally within 5 minutes.

Great Stay for Event at Tranquility Farm
We stayed at this property during a family wedding at Tranquility Farm across the street. Such a great, convenient location to walk back and forth for wedding events. The winery was a great option for hanging out, as well. The house comfortably fit our large group and 3 cars. I think it’s worth noting for large groups that there are no sofa beds and the only room with multiple beds is the bunk room. This works, but good for planning purposes.

Disappointing service
Our group stayed here last year for the 1st time and it was a great experience. We came back this year for our strategic retreat and were really disappointed. The fridge and counters were dirty, there were no trash bags left for us, the trash was supposed to go out daily, but never got picked up which left a smell in the game room. The suggested caterer cancelled on us last minute which left us with few options for a business retreat. There was also a lovely gentleman that works on the farm, but we were unaware that he'd be coming into the yard and actually working in an office inside of the house. Definityly unexpected and off-putting. We planned on using this property for our yearly retreats for years to come, but are now looking elsewhere due to our recent experience.

Wonderful Experience
Beautiful house on beautiful property, surrounded by horses and grapes. The hosts are a pleasure to work with. A quaint town nearby, and a short trip to DC or National Harbor. It would take a month to visit all of the wineries in the vicinity. We've stayed there twice and very much look forward to returning.

So Much Potential
We booked this property last fall. We inquired about the chef and were told that it was too early to book him and should get back in touch in February 2023. We did that and after answering some of the owner's questions, we were told the chef was unavailable that week. He did recommend two other chefs in the area. We hired D.A.H. Cuisines (amazing). Before arriving, we were sent a code and told to pick up the key at the wine tasting room. On arrival, the wine tasting room knew nothing about a key. They contacted someone and we were told the key was in the mailbox. There was no key in the mailbox. We went back to the tasting room again. Finally someone arrived with a key. The house was beautiful with large windows, large rooms, two kitchens and a game room. The one thing we noticed were the bathrooms seemed stained. That was disappointing. We found the large barbecue, pool and patio area. The pool was not clean. There were no signs indicating the depths of the pool. With small children, this was worrisome. The stone patio area had a couple of levels. It was hard to tell where a step was. Several of our party tripped. One person fell and broke her hip and went to the hospital. We lost power during a storm. We contacted the owner through Vrbo, called his contact number. We finally realized there was a generator that did not have sufficient fuel. We never heard from the owner. A lovely home, but be careful if you have small children (deep pool) and seniors (uneven steps).
