Private Stay By MadlyGiving — Bed & Breakfast At National Harbor

Located in the Potomac Vista District of Oxon Hill, MD, literally in the backyard of the latest and greatest tourist destination — National Harbor — a whole new entertainment capitol booming off the banks of the Potomac River, to include The Gaylord Resort & Convention Center and MGM National Harbor Hotel & Casinos.

Why Guests Love MY Location

• Endless Entertainment: Quick access to top-tier dining, casinos, nightlife, outlet shopping, and boutique markets.

• Sightseeing Made Easy: Conveniently close to DC's iconic monuments, museums, theaters, and river boat tours.

Travel & Transit Times

Conveniently located off the I-95 / 495 / 295 / 210 corridors, getting around is simple:

• Downtown DC: 20 minutes (via car, Metro, or water taxi).

• Old Town Alexandria, VA: 10 minutes across the Woodrow Wilson Bridge.

• Reagan National Airport (DCA) & Union Station: 15–20 minutes.

• Dulles (IAD) & BWI Airports: Within 40 minutes.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: CAR OR RIDE-SHARE IS REQUIRED. While conveniently located just 0.2 miles in the backyard of National Harbor, there is no rear access/short cut/direct walking path, due to a gated boundary, you must drive the perimeter to enter.

Drive times: 3–8 minutes to most Harbor spots; 15 minutes to The Gaylord.
