My girlfriend and I stayed at Peake-Fairfax for 3 months during the summer while we worked in the DC area. There is not one bad thing to say about the place. The owner and family are extremely nice and accommodating. If you have any questions about the area, issues while visiting, or just want to have a conversation with someone,... More

You cannot beat the location of the Peake-Fairfax House for enjoying Old Town Alexandria, and the sites in Washington, D.C. We especially enjoyed a Father's Day brunch with Dorothy and Chet and the other guests. Beautiful art on the walls, comfortable rooms, great location!

Excellent location for walking around historic Alexandria and also for access to central Washington. Great hospitality and healthy choice for breakfast. Lovely rooms with beautiful decor and all modern facilities.

Where the house sits, you can walk town, take a water taxi, get into and out of DC. There are so many opportunties. The house is very quiet and welcoming. Thank you Chet... More

The hosts are very friendly, entertaining, and knowledgeable. Great restaurant recommendations. We arrived late and they called their favorite french restaurant a few blocks away to make sure they...
