A magical experience for all from the 3 year old to the 75 year old.

What a beautiful property. From the moment you approach down the drive you can feel yourself start to relax. Once inside the hospitality of the house is apparent with so many amenities. The little ones loved the beach and everyone loved the theater room. Plenty of beds and bathrooms for our big family and enough TVs that everyone got to watch their favorite football game. Tubing right out in front was great and having the paddle boards was an added benefit. The guide that was provided with all the details about the house and area was very helpful. We had Brunch at Callie Opies Orchard which was excellent and I highly recommend. Had to contact the owners on a Sunday for a very minor issue and they were immediately responsive. Our plans are return next summer for a longer stay.

Relaxing at its finest.

Beautiful home and beautiful location. Had something for everyone, as a family we were able to be together and when needed (the house and property) was large enough to accommodate everyone and have some time to ourselves as well.

What a magical week!

Knot Loggin' Inn is such an incredible place. My family loved the beautiful house, but the real stunner is the outdoors. The 3 different stations: the beach, the dock, and the boathouse, made it so easy for the kids (and grown ups!) to spend their days just bopping from one to the other for fishing, swimming, and paddling around. We also LOVED the movie theater -- we had many movie nights and it was also a cool place to relax on the hottest afternoons. The deck was wonderful, the beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was spacious and well appointed. Beyond the house, we took excursions to Luray Caverns, Monticello, and the Lake Anna boardwalk, which were all great. The Key Lime Covelada and crab legs at The Cove were so good, we went two days in a row. We made so many lovely memories and we will definitely be back!

Beautiful lake house property

Our two sons and families (6 adults and 5 kids) stayed here June 22-29. Absolutely beautiful house with views of the lake. Nicely landscaped property. Adults spent each morning with coffee at the dock area, while the kids slowly came back to life. Loved the small beach area. Kids used the paddle boards and played the water for hours. It was a VERY hot week, but spent a lot of time swimming and fishing. The theater room inside the house was great for movies and video games. We had a great time and would rent this property again in a heartbeat.

A charming property with everything thought out so perfectly. My son in law loved the labels on the light switches, and the family loved the theater room as it rained 4 out of our 7 days there. It was really the perfect get away spot for our family. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen fantastic and the outside seating areas gave us lots of choices.

Lovin' the loggin'

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Knot Loggin' Inn. The property is amazing, and was perfect for our group of friends with young kiddos (between 2-7yrs old). From exploring the property, to playing on the play set, to afternoon matinees in the movie room, we had everything we needed to keep our little ones occupied while also squeezing in relaxing moments for the grown-ups. Our hosts were super communicative, easy to work with and the house is full of their thoughtful touches. Highly recommend!

Great family property

Great property for family gatherings. Everything was exactly as advertised. There are multiple places outside and inside to gather providing enough space for the whole group or solitude. We enjoyed the dock for fishing, paddle boards at the beach, the fire pit, boating from the boat house, hammocks and theater room. Our entire family enjoyed this property. We will be returning renters.

Beautiful Cabin with thoughtful touches

Memory updated Here’s a refined version of your review: We stayed at this cabin as a large group of girls for a getaway weekend, and overall, our experience was exceptional. From the start, the communication with Mike and Kevin was excellent. They provided thorough and timely information at every step, which was incredibly helpful when coordinating with a big group. The printed checkout directions in the kitchen were especially appreciated, allowing some of our group to leave early without disturbing the rest of us. The cabin itself felt like a luxury hotel. The mattresses were incredibly comfortable—definitely not the usual worn-out ones you sometimes find in rentals. The sheets were soft, and the pillows were of high quality, adding to the overall comfort. One thing to note is that the cabin is located at the northernmost part of the lake, so most activities and attractions are about a 20-minute drive away. While the cabin is undoubtedly high-end, the surrounding area doesn’t quite match the level of luxury inside the house. If I were to stay here again, I’d plan for a cozy winter retreat where we could relax and enjoy the stunning views from the house all weekend, but I would skip venturing out to any surrounding restaurants or attractions.

Knott Loggin Inn a Great Lake house!

Ten of us spent a week at the Lake House, it was perfect! We were referred by friends who have stayed there twice and are so happy we took their recommendation. The guide book was extremely helpful before during and after our stay. House is perfect. In a perfect location and met all our needs. I never figured out the home audio system, but that was probably my technological challenges. We plan to stay again…it was just an ideal retreat. Thanks!!!

Our 2nd time was as wonderful as the first!

My family and I just returned from a week at KLI and, once again, had a fantastic time. There were 14 of us (7 kids) and we had a blast. There's so much to do - fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking, and swimming, We had a few hours of rain one day, so we watched a movie in the theater and had a pool tournament. At night we played games. Everything, with the exception of food, beach towels and your toiletries, has been provided. Mike and Kevin thought of everything, and they are awesome to deal with. Thanks Mike and Kevin! We'll be back next year!

Knot Loggin’ Inn is exceptional in virtually every way imaginable.

The only reason that I gave a five star review is that I couldn’t give more. The house is beautiful with wonderful views of the lake. The lot on which the house sits is really exceptional with almost 180° views of the lake and amenities, including a small beach with paddle boards and kayaks, a beautiful dock to sit on or fish from, and even boathouse. The house is exceptionally well stocked with almost everything you could want to make your stay enjoyable. One of the most outstanding aspects of staying here is the guidebook provided by the innkeepers. You will receive an electronic copy prior to your arrival and there is a printed copy in the house. It is 160 pages with all of the information you could ever want about the house, the local area, things to do and places to go, and very clear directions about checking in checking out and everything you need to know during your stay. We will be back

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!

About the host

Hosted by Knot Loggin’ Inn

Host profile image
This beautifully appointed property was purchased in 2019 by Mike and Kevin, two Northern Virginia residents who wanted to create a place where their families and friends could slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the quiet beauty of Lake Anna. After converting the property into a short‑term rental, Knot Loggin’ Inn was born, and it has since welcomed hundreds of guests who consistently leave positive reviews and often return because of the comfort, care, and memorable experiences they find here. What began as a personal retreat has grown into a warm, thoughtfully maintained getaway blending handcrafted charm with modern comfort on the peaceful northern end of the lake. Mike and Kevin continue to invest in the home each year upgrading features, enhancing amenities, and ensuring the property stays fresh, inviting, and aligned with the expectations of today’s guests.

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.
