25+ Ways To Have Fun While Staying At Potomac Overlook Farms
by Krista Beck
This morning was spent filling our Event Calendar with virtual activities in effort to inspire our guests with “outside” experiences while they relax in the safe haven the Potomac Overlook Farms estate offers. Boy- are there some creative virtual events happening! DC Jazzfest, National Gallery of Art Virtual Tours, Disney World Google Street View Immersions, Coffee with Goats, Bollywood Dance Classes- the list goes on. Visit our event calendar to see what’s happening.
Our goal has always been to offer a peaceful oasis for guests looking to connect with each other, find some quiet and simply just relax. Groups tend to venture out on day trips to visit historical sites, breweries, restaurants, parks and activity venues. The world is a little bit different now, and tourism simply doesn’t look the same.
For us, the new normal has provided insight to just how much great stuff can be done without even leaving Potomac Overlook Farms. It’s truly 10 acres of safe haven!
Here’s some inspiration to get you started.
Set up a scavenger hunt. This can be a fun, family-friendly affair, an educational experience or a romantic gesture. But trust us, there are PLENTY of hiding places for all your clues.
Take a picnic down to the river. A short little stroll down the hill takes you to the Potomac River where you could have a lovely picnic. Maybe it’s a simple kid-friendly lunch with PB&Js, or maybe it’s girls only with wine and chocolate.
Relax on the front porch with a good audio book while you watch the birds. And maybe a glass of rose’!
Have a grill night. We have two grills available for you to use during your stay. Plastic ware and great back decks make for stellar chillin’ and grillin’.
Pool party! Connect your phone to the speakers and play your favorite tunes. Mix up some margaritas. Set up the snacks in the Tiki Bar. Practice your cannonballs off the diving board. Win at Marco Polo. Float blissfully on a noodle. You’ve got all the ingredients of a fun time.
Sleep outside. Sure the beds at Potomac Overlook are ridiculously comfortable, but bring along your tent and set up camp. You might get a wildlife visitor passing by!
Go fishing. You bring the bait, we’ve got the rods!
Have a family movie night. Use our popcorn maker to help you build a popcorn bar. Grab your snacks and make your way to the Projector Screen Movie Room.
Have a spa day. The River Birch Suite has an oversize bathroom with two person jacuzzi, separate shower, two separate sinks and plenty of natural light. Escape the rest of your group for some quiet time, or make it a fun girls afternoon!
Play disc golf. Yep! We got it!
Play hide and seek. With 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and 3 finished levels, the Estate is the PERFECT hide and seek house.
Chill in the hot tub. We even have strings of lights so you’ll feel like you’re under the stars.
Play tag. With 10 open acres, you MUST.
Set up a cocktail bar for Happy Hour. We’ve got the Tiki Bar, the glassware and the shaker. You just bring the booze! Take it up a notch by setting up charcuterie and accoutrements!
Have a tea party. Get fancy and put on your nice attire. Try your hand at short bread cookies or mini sandwiches. Set a pretty table and make it authentic!
Binge on a show in bed. Most of the bedrooms come with Roku TVs, so you can catch up on your favorites from the comfort of bed.
Treat yourself to a sunrise yoga practice on the deck. The expansive back deck is a perfect place for a Sun Salutation.
Take the kayaks out. We have canoes and kayaks for your use while staying with us!
Roller blade. Bring your wheels and scoot up and down Potomac Overlook Lane.
Just be. Find some moments of quiet for yourself to notice the beauty you’re surrounded by.
Set up a field day competition. Our game shed is stocked with all kinds of outdoor games and activities. Get creative and turn it into a field day!
Slow Sunday dinner. Take your time pulling together some slow cooked, Sunday comfort food. Our Pinterest has some ideas!
Stargaze. You better believe a clear night gives you a splendid view of the night sky!
Have a Dance Party. With 10 open acres, you’ve got plenty of space to whip out all your wildest moves.
