Great getaway!
We were able to escape DC with our pups for a relaxing 4th of July weekend at Skip-Away Landing. The house is great, just as described, clean, and welcoming. The sunsets off the dock are amazing. It’s very close to lots of fun activities and then tucked away from it all when you are done. We had a great time with our pups!
