— The Property —

Knot Loggin' Inn is situated on the northwestern end of Lake Anna where the nearby communities are mature and retain significant acreage to preserve a natural surrounding that is private, picturesque, and quiet. As you approach the property, all your senses will be enveloped since the home is positioned on a natural, wooded point with 600+ feet of shoreline and 220° waterfront views. Watch majestic cranes soar just above the tranquil waterline; hear a flock of Canada Geese honk as they cross the lake in unison formation; feel the juxtaposition of the sun providing warmth while the lake water cools you off; take in the smell of the wood and floral elements in the air. In fact, you may encounter a red fox or deer scampering through the yard or even hear cows mooing in the distance. We even have a couple of cranes who have made Knot Loggin' Inn their home. We've fondly named them Frazier and Niles Crane. ;-)

While outside, you have ample number of areas to enjoy and explore without leaving the property:
+ Allow the kids to run and play in "Fort Knots", a large, shaded playground
+ Enjoy a game of volleyball, football or any other yard activity in the expansive front yard that is tree lined, yet has views of the lake on a sunny day.
+ Relax on the covered front porch with a cup of coffee or enjoy lake breezes from the bench swing in the front yard.
+ Unwind on the back deck with a cold beverage and take in lake views from numerous vantage points, including the adjoining side deck that accommodates a large group for meals and cookouts under a convenient power retractable awning.
+ Take a break on the waterside stone patio as you watch lake activities and wildlife pass by from your vantage point perched upon a small hill overlooking the lake.
+ Gently wade into the water from the private white sandy beach or remain on land and watch others take part in water activities from the stone patio overlooking the beach.
+ Jump into the lake with a splash, bathe under the sun's rays on a lounge chair, or eat a meal at the table from the large multilevel water deck.
+ Try fishing from any point along the shoreline or numerous dock vantage points.
+ Hike around the property on one of its many paved pathways, grassy knolls, or wooded areas.
+ Park and access your own boat and personal watercraft at the private boat house and dock. Boat traffic is minimal compared to the central part of the lake so water sports are much safer in this area.

— The Log Cabin Lake Home —

Upon entering the cabin, any stress will immediately subside as you take in a deep breath and inhale the smells of the natural wood logs which line the walls. The two story foyer and vaulted great room immediately draw you in to the wall of windows with a southern exposure view of the glimmering lake below.

The great room is central to the home and provides numerous sitting options that offer panoramic views of the water. Sit on a large sofa to relax, converse or watch shows on a 65" television that displays landscapes when not in use. Connect your favorite music source from you phone via WiFi and broadcast music inside and outside the home. Play games or have a drink at a cozy four person table in front of a wall of windows overlooking the lake or curl up on a chaise lounge to take a nap, read a book, or daydream with a lakeside view.

Enjoy meal preparation in the gourmet kitchen that is open to the great room so you can interact with friends and family. The kitchen is stocked with every utensil and cookware you will likely need. Cook delicious meals on the four burner gas stove with center griddle or take a few steps outside the kitchen onto the deck to use the outdoor gas grill. Stock the large pantry and refrigerator with your favorite meal ingredients. The beautiful granite center island is large enough to accommodate several hands during meal preparation and also houses a built-in sink, trash compactor and dishwasher. A second kitchen island flanks the great room. Its raised bar counter can be used to seat 5 people for meals and includes a professional standalone ice maker, wine refrigerator, and wet sink. Your little ones can help with meal preparation, too, or eat their own meals at the kid-sized table adjacent to the center island.

The dining room is open to both the kitchen and great room and has an expansive, rustic dining table, accommodating up to 8 people.

The spacious cabin has 5 bedroom retreats, 4 well-appointed full baths, and 2 convenient half baths:

+ Bedroom 1: A Primary Suite on the main level that provides 2 separate views of the lake and its own private balcony. This queen bed retreat is well-equipped with amenities including its own patio furniture, a 40" TV, ceiling fan, and gas fireplace with beautiful stone surround and hearth. The luxurious adjoining spa bathroom has separate his and her sinks, a gorgeous claw-foot soaking tub, an oversized walk in-shower, and a separate water closet.
+ Bedroom 2: An Ensuite bedroom on the upper level that has 2 expansive views of the lake. It is outfitted with full and twin sized beds as well as a comfortable chair that converts into an additional twin bed. This room is appointed with a ceiling fan, 32" television, a Wii game console with select games and a bookcase stocked with children's books and games. Additionally, it has its own private full bathroom.
+ Bedroom 3: The largest bedroom, located on the upper level, is substantial in size with 3 separate views of the lake and property and is outfitted with a queen bed, a double bed, a twin bed, and a comfortable chair that converts into an additional twin bed w/memory foam mattress. This room is appointed with a 50" television, ceiling fan, and a bookshelf stocked with mature (non-children's) book titles. There is a large full bathroom for occupants of this room just outside the bedroom door on the landing above the great room.
+ Bedroom 4: A second Primary Suite on the lower level that has southern views of the lake and is nicely appointed with its own king bed, large 58" television, ceiling fan and swivel chair. It has its own private full bath as well as access to a semi-private walkout patio to enjoy your morning beverages or a quiet escape.
+ Bedroom 5: The Bunk Room on the lower level is a rustic getaway from the rest of the open floor plan and houses a custom log twin over double bunk bed. It's a cozy retreat for sleeping or a secluded hideaway for some peace and quiet.
+ Game Area: This extra area has sleeping for 2 on a convertible futon sofa bed. Adjacent half-bath is conveniently located nearby.

The rest of the lower level supports numerous recreation and family activities. The main lower area has a built in stone and granite wet bar with seating for 5, large 55" television to watch live sports and other shows. A few steps away from the bar, you can start a game of pool or shuffleboard or just relax on a futon sofa that doubles as another full size sleeping option. This area has two large glass sliders that exit onto an expansive backyard patio and offers unobstructed views of the lake.

Across from the bar is a dedicated home theater that is constructed like your own professional cinema. It easily accommodates 8 adults in fully reclining plush chairs with stadium seating. The 100" HD projection screen is hard to miss and you will feel every beat or whisper through the dramatic Bowers & Wilkins surround sound theater audio system. The theater includes a small stage perfectly situated for kids to host their own version of "America's Got Talent" or game of charades for the rest of the group. The room also has a gas fireplace for those chilly nights to cozy up to while being entertained.

Additionally, the lower level houses the laundry room with a full sized washer and dryer as well as a second refrigerator. A powder room is just steps away from the game area and has both direct indoor and outdoor access.

Holiday at the Lake
Fabulous house in a fabulous location on Lake Anna, with great hosts; couldn’t ask for more. We rent houses fairly often and this may be our favorite property. We had a couple of days nice enough to have coffee on the swim pod and come back for cocktails at sunset followed by the arrival of the geese. We will have lovely memories from this trip. Mike and Kevin were great hosts and the property had all the comforts you needed. Will absolutely be on the list for a return visit.

Spectacular Christmas Vacation
I have always dreamed of getting my three kids, with their spouses and 8 grandchildren together in one place for the holidays. Mike and Kevin helped that dream come true. With a beautiful view, spacious grounds and a cabin feeling, touched by holidays decorations, it all came together. Holiday music throughout the home gave it that finishing touch. The kitchen was perfect for cooking for 16 people. Children were entertained by a playground and plenty of games. What a wonderful experience. And if you need anything, Mike is right on the phone to help out. Thanks again guys, great job!!! We all appreciate it. Merry Christmas!

Perfection
We have stayed at many rental houses over the years, and this one ranks at the top. The house itself is beautifully done - so many thoughtful details and very comfortable. The property is incredible - basically on a peninsula with gorgeous views, several different spots to enjoy (bonfire, beach, dock, boat dock, playground), and plenty of parking. We truly couldn't find one thing they missed. We loved the shuffleboard, pool table, wii, and the theatre room with fireplace was the best! It held our big group well and gave us plenty to do together!

Gorgeous Lake front home!!
The home was gorgeous, very high-end decor, appliances etc. Beds were VERY comfortable, pillows linens etc very comfortable and CLEAN! The whole house was amazing and the outside was just as beautiful with the walkways, childs playset, boat dock, seating dock etc. The owners were very responsive and very easy to communicate with on any issues (although we had none while there) the only thing I would make future tenants aware of was the Copperhead snake that was in the water and very close to the children while they were swimming off the beach area. After reading the guest log I saw last year they noted there was one living somewhere on the beach area and although we were there a year later there are Copperheads in the area, just be aware and you'll be fine. Overall a very fantastic place to stay I would give it 10 stars if possible!!!

We are the owners, Mike and Kevin. We purchased the property in September 2019 and started our venture of establishing a Lake Cabin retreat in 2020. We both maintain primary residences in Potomac Falls, Virginia.

Why they chose this property

Lake Anna provides the perfect setting for relaxation and this property specifically embodies that for us. We were awe-inspired when we first saw the cabin, the surrounding grounds, and those views! We sincerely hope that we've created a special place where you can make your own wonderful memories.
