About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Couples Retreat

If you like a calming relaxing getaway this is the place for you. This place cannot hold parties, or get togethers of any kind. (If you like your music loud and late nights, then this place isn’t a good fit for that.) Your unit is in a building with other commercial space and other tenants.
There should be no kids under 12 years

The only people in the place should be you and the 1 guest you bring.

No pets.

No parties no get togethers.
And no noise after 10pm.

There are also cameras all around the outside of the building and car port. Also the outside entrances.

Welcome to Harry’s Place, dedicated to a highly-regarded member and major influence architecturally of the historic town that he called home.

We’ve stayed at a few different rental places in Occoquan and this was by far the nicest with an incredible view! Reasonably priced, walking to everything, and a clean, comfortable place to stay. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Short and sweet

Even though there were no bells and whistles to this spot, it was perfect for occoquan. The location provides an awesome view to the river and it's centered right in the heart of town. Cobb was very responsive and super accommodating, ready to help with any questions we had. Would definitely stay there again or anywhere Cobb is hosting. Thank you!

Quaint & Comfortable Stay!

This apartment was perfect for us while visiting family in Silver Spring, Arlington, & DC. We loved the quaint little town of Occoquan with the beautiful river, park, great shopping & restaurants. However, beware … most of the businesses are closed on Monday & the eateries close early. Our accommodations were exceptionally clean, offered a convienent check-in, & stood above a great little chocolate store! We will be back!!

Nice place

The place was very clean which is important to me it was really nice inside. Sitting on the deck in the morning having our coffee with the view of the river so peaceful. Mill street has so many restaurants and shops and the historical buildings it was beautiful. We will definitely visit again thank you Christina for a wonderful place to stay . Also cannot forget the chocolate shop in the front the chocolate is amazing and the owner was very entertaining.

Amazing View

We loved staying at Harry/Ann’s place! The view of the river is fantastic and the porch and outdoor area is lovely to hang out on. The rooms inside were clean and quaint, and loved how bright and sunny it got during the daytime. We would recommend bringing your own towels, the ones provided were too small for our taste. It’s definitely a shared building and there is some noise from upstairs. Light sleepers may want to bring earplugs.

River get away

The apartment was perfect for 2 or 3. Beautiful scene of the river. The shower was fine. There is only one sink and that would be the bathroom. Water pressure was very low, and the sink "stopper" was not opening - the handle was broken. The host was notified. That was the only problem. The town was nice. Many places to eat. Madigan's was great-and on the waterfront.

Occoquan visit

Property was as listed. Only issue was water pressure in the bathroom sink. Water came out as a drizzle. Informed host and they thanked me for letting them know and said they’d get it fixed. It’s definitely a beautiful setting right in the Occoquan river. I’m originally from northern Virginia which is why I picked Occoquan as a place to stay. Very convenient to almost everything. Definitely recommend this place to anyone that wants a quaint place to stay. Occoquan is full of history and there’s plenty of history very close by.

Came home to visit family

My mom was nice enough to get this spot for me and my boyfriend for a long weekend. I came home from California to see my nieces graduate, and brought the boyfriend home to meet family and see DC! The space was clean just didn’t seem “lived in” and it was cozy, but there were a ton of spiders where we were supposed to eat (I would have vacuumed them all up myself but I wasn’t opening any doors looking for a vacuum after seeing all of the spiders) and it took two days to have someone come and clean them out. We mostly stayed in the bedroom. The bed was a sleep number which was cool! But it was loud every time we moved. I love Old Town Occoquan so the location was great, right on the river. It’s right on top of an art gallery and next to the shops and restaurants.

Perfect place on the river with Historic Occoquan at your doorstep.

We thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of this property. The space was calming and convenient for a nice weekend getaway. Would recommend if you're wanting a nice, clean and comfortable place to relax, take a walk along the river, shop and dine.

Lovely little gem in a wonderful small town

This property is adorable! Much bigger than it looks on the site, it has an ample bedroom, large sitting area and a lovely view of the river. We sat outside beneath the shade tree watching the water sports for hours. Walking distance to everything in town makes this the perfect getaway for the weekend. The best part is that it is SUPER quiet after 9p, so you get a very peaceful night's sleep. Such a plus. I would highly recommend this Vrbo to anyone staying in town.
