Property details

🌿 There are places you visit, and places that stay with you. Haiku River House is the second kind. It sits on a quiet stretch of the Potomac in Oxon Hill, Maryland — a Japanese-inspired, single-level home built for stillness, eighteen minutes from Downtown DC. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the river, and the light shifts across the open-plan living space all day. Boats drift past at sunrise; the outdoor seating area is built for the sunset. Five bedrooms sleep up to ten in real comfort — designer mattresses, luxury linens, blackout shades. Four bedrooms have private en-suite baths; one bedroom shares a bath. Three separate bedroom wings give the group privacy within togetherness, which makes the home work as well for a multi-generational reunion as for a weekend with friends. 🛋️ At the center is a chef's kitchen built for real cooking and a dining table that seats everyone. Between meals: a Golden Tee arcade, a Peloton, kayaks for the shoreline, and Smart TVs in every room. Or nothing at all — the kind of nothing that turns out to be the point. Highlights: 🌊 Direct Potomac River frontage with panoramic water views 🍳 Chef's kitchen with full-size appliances and a Keurig 🛏️ Five en-suite bedrooms — one king, four queens — sleeps 10 ♿ Single-level, fully accessible layout — no stairs, no barriers 🎮 Golden Tee full-size arcade and a Peloton bike 🚣 Kayaks and a private riverfront yard for sunset watching 💻 Dedicated workspace with high-speed Wi-Fi 🚗 Free on-site parking for up to 4 vehicles ✅ Good to know: Self check-in by smart lock. Check-in 4–10 PM, check-out 10 AM. Quiet hours 10 PM–8 AM. Primary renter must be 25+. Signed rental agreement required. Base rate covers up to 6 guests; $50 per additional guest, per night, for guests 7–10. No pets (service animals welcome per applicable law). No smoking indoors. Shoe-free home. No parties or unsanctioned events. Small private events may be approved in advance with a $2,500 event fee. Violation fees: $500 smoking or unauthorized event; $250 noise. The river is for views and shoreline fishing (Maryland tidal or PRFC license); swimming is not recommended. For everyone's safety: two exterior, entry-facing security cameras are always on, and a decibel-only noise monitor (no audio) is in the living room. There are no cameras inside the home.

I came home to lay my mother to rest and needed a place where eight of us could stay comfortably. This home was exactly what we needed—beautiful inside and out, with a peaceful water view that brought a sense of calm during a difficult time. The best part was being able to invite my siblings, nieces, and nephews over. Most of them came, and they fell in love with the space just like we did. Childhood friends stopped by as well. About thirty of us gathered, sharing pizza, wings, and the sweetest memories of my mom. Your home made those moments possible. Thank you, and God bless you.
