DC GuestHouse Closes

The last day of operations for DC GuestHouse was December 26, 2011.     The DC GuestHouse family has decided to move on to new ventures and to a new home.  

Through the years our guests have enriched our lives.  For this we must thanks you.   We have hosted people from all walks of life - celebrities, politicians, activists, religious leaders, business people, tourists and families.   Many of you will stand out in our minds as individual, having become friends that we have anticipated returning to our home on a regular basis.    After the first of the year, we will be moving to another fabulous house in Washington.   Our family will be staying together, and we hope that you will stay a part of our extended family.

We also want to say thank you to everyone who made the DC Guesthouse such a success.      To our staff and our friends, we say that we could not have done it without you.   We hope, and know, that you will support us in the next chapter in our lives.

Our family wishes you much happiness and success in the coming new year.

Our Favorite Site 2000
 

Our New Website

Our new website is up and rolling!!!   We hope you will enjoy the "seasons" of our new website.   One of the things our guests often remark about is how beautiful Washington is during its seasonal peaks.   So we have re-designed our website so that it will change as the seasons do. We've also added a lot more content to assist in making your stay as enjoyable as possible.

  • The New GuestBook - don't just tell us about your stay, you can now add photos and links to document your trip. Let us know what you think and what your would like to see in the future!
  • Guest Reviews - We now have the ability for you to let others know about the restaurants, events, and businesses you visted while in Washington - was it a Hit or a Miss.
  • The Host Blog - Secrets of the DC GuestHouse unveiled! Recipes, art profiles, and more!
  • The Newsletter - Feel like a member of the DC GuestHouse family (as many of our frequent guests do).  Now sign up to recent a quarterly update on the GuestHouse and upcoming events.
