Private Stay By MadlyGiving - At National Harbor—“A 5-Star Boutique and Souly Unique Bed & Breakfast Experience”—By HospiTalent Mariby Corpening “The richest most soulful unique warm loving exotic abundant AirBnB experience I’ve ever had. It was a privilege to stay in Mariby’s home.”—5-Star Guest Review SISSY'S ROOM In Honor of My Momma, “The Wild Woman,” who lived for The Road; an adventurer, Sissy traveled throughout the U.S.—48 of the 50 States…on her Harley—kept a packed bag, always in take-off mode, should have been a fighter pilot; though, always flying down the road, always ready, always gone, always searching for new heights, loved the night life—a thrill seeker, rough & tough, liked to rough-house, always playing around, always drew an admiring crowd—a dancer, a poet, a truth sayer, straight up, no fuss, all cuss, poised to do battle, strategic fighter—as fierce with her mouth, as with her mind and her uh, weapons—protector, protestor, self-taught professor, always in search of knowledge and adventure—she loved challenges, smart—always reading and researching, top of her class—indeed, in a class of her own, from her nursing background—natural remedies, a “Which Doctor,” and, uh, well, a woman’s prerogative—a professed shopper! I have always said, in a former life, My Momma would have been a warrior; though, with Bordelle lingerie up under her armor—A Modern Day Shero, oh, she protected me, doggedly; you hear me! The Original MadlyLiving, indeed; she would approve of this mere dedication to the spirited, larger-than-the-life she lived. SISSY’S ROOM—The larger of my three guest rooms (sleeps 2)—features plush queen-size, 4-poster canopy bed with deep Cranberry Red & Violet Velvets & Antique Gold complements and private full bath with whirlpool tub (a hot soak with Epsom Salt, her daily medicinal ritual). MY SPACE In memory of the exceptional women—My Momma, My Auntie, My Mother-In-Law—who have profoundly influenced My Life, my home, a purpose-filled retreat—My guest rooms so named in their honor (Sissy, Shirley & Sanata) are decorated in deep, rich, Afrocentric patterns, prints, textures and color palettes, complemented throughout with African Art—brilliant portraits and wood-carved masks & statues that command my home, striking living room galleria, grand dining/meeting room, comfy-cozy morning/TV room (as there are no TVs in room), kitchen access, private backyard deck drenched in natural sunlight, outdoor balcony with dreamy sunsets and scenic cityscapes, not to mention, random fireworks display off the banks of the Potomac River at National Harbor, as well, I offer Themed Brunch/Dinner/Tea Party Experiences (up to 10 guests seated) at additional charge by Reservation Only. The distinguished character of my space caters primarily to the solo/small group/business/remote traveler, as well as couples, intimate affairs /occasions, including leisure and international travelers to/in/around The National Capitol Area. RESTRICTIONS Although, I love them, too, children (under 13), pets, parties, events, smoking, alcohol, drugs and weapons are not conducive to the rather introspective, calming & restorative surroundings. While intimate venue/affairs of 6-10 guests are offered (at additional charge by reservation only), notably, Maryland law prohibits drinking under the age of 21, use of narcotic drugs and illegal firearms.
