General overview
Our wooded 3 acre lot is overlooked by a large, gracious deck. The backyard features two patios, inground swimming pool, trampoline, and chicken coop (with chickens!).
The interior is spacious and decorated with an eye towards our love of nature and travel.
The space
Ground level floor includes large eat-in kitchen that opens to deck equipped for relaxing meals. Also includes a two story room to relax with short throw projector and projector screen for watching movies, office equipped with two desks and sitting area, living room with delightful morning light, generous dining room, and a powder room.
Upper level includes small loft area with sofa and 4 bedrooms. Master suite includes a desk area and bathroom with shower and large corner tub. 2nd bedroom has its own bathroom. 3rd and 4th bedrooms share a bathroom in between.
Unfinished basement has workout equipment including rowing machine and free weights.
Guest access
With an exchange, you will have access to all areas.
Our chickens are let out into a large run each morning and will need food and water at that time. Food is kept out in the run in a large bin. Water is filled from a hose in the backyard. They need to be safely locked back into the coop at night.
If the exchange lasts longer than a week, we'd love for you to check our plants for watering.

Neighbourhood
The neighborhood is quiet and rather spread out.
Getting to my home
We are within an hour from 3 major airports: Baltimore-Washington (BWI), Dulles International (IAD), and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA).
From there, you're best off renting a car as the nearest metro is 20+ minutes away.

6 member family: Mom & Dad + 4 sons: 19, 17, 14, 10.
Although we are an American family, our oldest attends University of Leipzig. Since our holidays rarely overlap, we're looking to use this opportunity to spend time in Europe, where he can meet us during shorter breaks.
However, we love to travel and are pretty flexible, so please feel free to reach out from anywhere! Looking forward to hearing from you :-)
We love our home! We both work here full-time and have ample work space in addition to space for relaxing. Our favorite way to spend a day is to do yardwork until mid-afternoon, then then have guests for a relaxed dinner or big pool party!
We hope you'll love staying here also :-)
"Our oldest son attends University of Leipzig. We are hoping to use this opportunity to take our younger children to various locations in Europe and visit our oldest at the same time. We love to drive and don't mind distances."
People Like Us is the world's most trusted home exchange community. We believe in sharing, trust, generosity, respect, communication, equality, cooperation, honesty, hospitality, friendship, flexibility and adventure. We take pride in our homes and we care about the environment in which we live: our village, city, country and our planet. We care about the ethos of home exchange and we do it because we love the experience and the friendships that it generates.
Seating inside the pool fence if you need to be closer to your kids than the deck allows.
The deepest part of the pool is 6 feet.
Every week in my garden is different, but we have *something* in bloom every single month of the year - and lots of things during the spring, summer, and autumn months!
You can just barely see our home peeking out of the mist and trees. It's there at the top of the driveway, on the left.
Spring, summer, and fall is the best time to enjoy our wooded yard. But the winter bonus is these behind the bare trees!!!
We especially love DC at night!!
Both the National and Baltimore Zoos are within an hour of our house.
We LOVE to hike as a family! This was taken at Annapolis Rock, but went somewhere different almost every weekend this winter!
Great Falls is famous for its incredibly churning rapids that only the best kayakers can handle - but we love the calm spots just as much!
