Fitness-friendly holiday rentals in Chesapeake and Ohio Canal

We had a great week at Maya’s place. It was like “old school” Airbnb in the best possible ways: a friendly host that meets you and shows you in, random food in the pantry and fridge to snack on, coffee and tea on hand, shampoo in the bathroom. I miss those days! The location was convenient with many restaurants to choose from and 2 metro stops within an easy walk. Comfortable furniture and bed in the unit. Clean. Kitchen well equipped for basic cooking, including a sharp knife (a rarity in Airbnb’s). Plentiful parking in the secure garage under the building. We would definitely return next time we need a place in Ballston!

I just had the most amazing stay here. It is in such an awesome location and the unit was absolutely gorgeous. Uche was an amazing host and I would not hesitate to stay here again!

Absolutely loved this space. The location is great and allows for exploration of the city. The space itself was clean and spacious. My favorite piece was having access to the gym within the Fairmount hotel (if im not mistaken). Lastly, host(s) are extremely responsiveness. I had questions about the property prior to booking as i was booking extremely last minute and I received a quick response.

Very responsive. Everything was on point and how they said it would be! Thank you

This is my second stay and it was great once again. The apartment is perfect for one person and is a great place to hang out when you don’t want to be out enjoying all of the Ballston area restaurants. I’ll be back.

Arshams listing is wonderful! Everything was so clean and fit all 5 of us so comfortably! We loved the tea options 😍. It was in perfect walking distances from great food, coffee places (and fun little bevs) as well as an easy walk to the metro! We will definitely stay here again if we are in the area!

Great stay! Huge apartment building but clear instructions. There was just no linens for the sofa bed, just a blanket so be clear to request that if planning to use as we booked for 8 adults it should have been provided without asking. Overall great, clean, comfy beds beside the sofa bed (typical middle metal bar that bothers) and clean bathrooms. I would return.

Really nice place with lots of access via nearby metro station. Mike was attentive to our needs and friendly, even reimbursed for some of the parking cost after a minor inconvenience! Definitely would recommend this place to anyone wanting a stay around Alexandria/DC area.

Andy was very responsive and gave clear instructions. We had been at this resort a few times in the past and the unit we received was very nicely appointed and updated. We had all amenities and were super close to the indoor pool and gym. Comfortable.

The host was more than accommodating and the condo Is exactly as pictured . Great stay

This was an awesome stay! If you have infants their place is a must as it is easily baby proofed and has so many accessible items!

The rental and grounds met our expectations and needs very well. Lots to do in the surrounding area. The pool and hot tub were just right. Comfy beds and cozy common area.

Lucas was great.! Had a few hiccups because of the holiday season and Lucas went above and beyond to help solve the issue!

Great place with nice amenities! We enjoyed our stay, and the host was very communicative.

Trip went very well worth every penny. Owner was very helpful answered whenever we called to help with check in gave us no problems about playing music on their Alexa or living room tv. Would get again for another trip.

Rosalyn's House was laid out perfectly, with lots of natural light and beautiful views of the gardens outside. The two-tone paint on the walls in the living area and nicely selected art was definitely a step above the average rental house. The Kitchen was one of the best equipped we have seen, and we loved the coffee options. The appliances were top notch. Rosalyn was always available to help us with questions and respond with help. The home was clean and well-maintained. We really enjoyed our stay!

Great host! Responded to any questions I had about anything. Place was so clean and well maintained. We truly enjoyed our visit!

Jamie went out of her way to make us feel special. The place is on a quiet street and walkable to so many things. We will recommend to all our friends.

Wonderful AirBnb in a beautiful neighborhood in Alexandria. Clean, comfortable, dog friendly. Perfect stay for a weekend trip.

Beautiful home! Exactly like the photos. Spacious, Incredibly comfortable, and so inviting. Fantastic location.

Literally speechless for how much we loved this place. She went above and beyond. You actually feel like a guest in one of a close family friend’s home and not a stranger. I’d love to return! 10/10 can’t recommend enough!

We had a comfortable stay at Joseph’s house, which is located in a nice neighborhood with stores and markets nearby. He was responsive to all communications. The beds were comfortable. It was nice to have a variety of coffees, sodas and snacks provided. I would consider staying at his house again if the need arises.

Our stay at Justin’s Hot Tub Haven in Annapolis, was exactly that…a haven with a much enjoyed hot tub! Justin was exceedingly responsive, proactive, and flexible. The home is very well appointed with all the necessities, plus all the thoughtful touches like umbrellas, a doggie waste station, and bath robes to name a few. Our children loved the downstairs space (and secretly the adults were thrilled they had it too), and it felt to them like they had their own little apartment. The backyard felt like a small resort. We loved the quick walk to shops and the our boys loved the nearby basketball courts and baseball fields. We highly recommend this home and will stay here again!

Wow! That was an incredible vacation in your home. Thank you for creating and sharing a space that felt both like a home away from home, and a vacation destination. Everything about your home was amazing and thoughtful - from the peaceful outside living spaces, to the high quality bathroom towels, to the well stocked pantry, to the bottle of wine waiting for us after a day of traveling, and much more. We also really loved Takoma Park - close to DC and yet this small community had culture and a positive vibe. Thank you!
