Family-friendly holiday rentals in Gaithersburg

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!

We had an excellent stay! We were able to get a parking spot right out front before the post-work rush. The park across the street and neighborhood were very nice. It was a 20m walk to Fell’s Point and the grocery store and waterfront were a 10m walk. Brandon was a communicative and very thoughtful host. We would certainly stay here again!

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

Great home,had Everything you need to have a good time. The collection of books will make you go back to continue reading. Will recommend to all my ohio friends traveling to Maryland

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.

We had a wonderful stay at Brenda’s place! The pool is amazing and the whole outdoor area is great. With the grill, chairs and tables, outdoor fire (two of them!) we had such a great weekend escape. Very quiet area, we didn’t see the hosts the whole time which made it feel private. They were so responsive and helpful all weekend. Wonderful stay and we will definitely be back!

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!

This place is a perfect home base for exploring the DC area. It was just right for our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens). The decor is eclectic and fun, the kitchen and bathroom nicely updated, and we had everything we needed there. It is an older house—reminded me of my grandmother’s house (in a good way!)—so I would not recommend it for people with limited mobility or difficulty with stairs, but for anyone else traveling to the DC area, you’ll love it!

My family and I had a very nice stay at Mark’s place. The neighborhood is walkable and pretty, and the courtyard outside is like a little oasis. Furnishings are lovely, beds are comfortable. I had some trouble getting inside–the keys are finicky–but Mark was always available to help. Would stay again.

Incredible place to stay! The hosts were flexible, responsive, and kind. Very accommodating regarding check in and check out. Would highly recommend!

I had a wonderful stay at 7 Elms. I had to come to the area for a work event in Gainesville, and my team and I decided to stay at this AirBNB. It was so lovely. Such a cool restoration of an old farmhouse, and the property was serene and wonderful. We didn't have time to explore the area, as we were working so much and long hours. the only thing I can speak to is the grocery store - and it had everything. We saw a bunch of wild animals during morning coffee time, and that was really special. I don't think I've actually ever seen groundhogs in person, and there's a hysterical duo that run the show. The hosts were easy to communicate with.

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.

I have stayed in this same building a few times, but this was my first time at Mark's as I needed a 2nd bedroom. It is a great location with very easy access to the metro (only about 15-20 minutes to DC) and great restaurants & grocery options. Mark's apartment is just as described. Very comfortable bed and great decor throughout. He was incredibly responsive and gave detailed instructions to get in the apartment and about how things work. I highly recommend his place!!

This house was adorable and is in a location that couldn't be beat! We enjoyed our stay - coffee and wine on the decks and easy walks around the sites and shops in the lower town. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well-stocked and the views from everywhere were amazing! Easy 20-ish minute drive over to Loudon County wine country, if that's your destination. Check-in and check-out was great. Easy with flexible timing, which we greatly appreciated. Dean was VERY helpful, especially when it came to parking - we brought three cars and he made sure we had ample space, even when some of our drivers were unsure of the narrow roads. (Roads are hilly and corners are sharp in the mountains, if you are not used to that.) The house could use a good dust and sweep, but dishes and linens were clean and plentiful. Not a dealbreaker, unless you have allergies - but it is an old house, after all, so some of it is to be expected. We would gladly stay again!

We've stayed at Kopal's quite a few times - very peaceful neighborhood, very close to Lake Artemisia, which is lovely for walking, also very close to College Park. Great location. The house is always very clean, well-equipped and Kopal is so responsive.

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.

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

Our stay was fantastic! The location was SO close to everything and the walkability to some great restaurants was great! Greg was very informative and responsive and I def recommend taking advantage of the parking offered, well worth it in this busy neighborhood. This was the cleanest Airbnb I have ever stayed in, everything was well labled and the kitchen had everything you need to cook! The home and the the neighborhood were very charming and if you like unique stays, I'd def recommend checking it out! We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

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.

We found Paul’s home very comfortable and accommodating. Paul was accessible when we reached out to him and he communicated well with us. It was a very nice location with a fantastic view of the bay, as we hoped for.

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!
