🌿 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, each with a private en-suite bath, sleep up to ten in real comfort — designer mattresses, luxury linens, blackout shades. 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

LuxStayUSA curates experience-driven vacation homes in some of the most sought-after destinations in the country — oceanfront estates on the Outer Banks, ski-in/ski-out lodges in Snowshoe, Strip-view suites in Las Vegas, urban homes in Houston, and new cabins in the Smokies. Every home is hand-selected and managed by our in-house team. We started in 2016 with a single mountain home in Snowshoe, West Virginia. Today we host more than 4,000 guests a year, and our flagship Corolla estates — The Fitzgerald, The Hemingway, and The Mark Twain — offer up to 46 bedrooms across three neighboring properties built for large gatherings. Our homes suit multi-generational trips, corporate retreats, wedding weekends, and elevated leisure stays, with select event- and pet-friendly properties and optional concierge services like private chefs and trip planning. Every stay is maintained to consistent standards of cleanliness, accuracy, and service. We think trust is the real luxury.
