Our family celebrated the Fourth of July at this beautiful home. The house was spectacular… Gorgeous kitchen that was fully stocked with everything we needed, the house was clean and inviting, and had plenty of indoor activities to do, in addition to the lake, fire pit, and hot tub! The bedrooms were beautiful, and there were plenty of clean bathrooms for everyone. We would go back in a heartbeat!

Absolutely amazing place, easy check-in process. Everything we needed as a team. We didn't have to go far for the grocery store and our team venue that Daniel told us about. We went to Everleigh as a team and it was a dream. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and place to stay. All in all our company had 5 homes around the lake and they all were amazing.
My family had the best time. The house was beautiful and clean...kitchen was very well-appointed. The lake setting was breathtaking. We spent hours around the fire-pit. Dan, you are an outstanding host. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Good Times Lake Front
We had a great time at the Private Cove house! The weather was perfect, which made it ideal to swim in the private side of Lake Anna. The house had all the amenities we needed to unwind and hang out. Joe promptly stopped by to fix one of the tables as well. The Hot tub was great too.
The best part is our whole group of family members had their own bathroom and rooms, in the house. I highly recommend planning your next visit and stay at Private Cove.
Our stay at Private Cove was amazing! We loved the home’s layout which included a first floor master suite and great office space for those of us who had to work during our stay. The home was very clean and comfortable. Lake Anna is a beautiful lake and the family enjoyed swimming, kayaking and fishing off the dock. The host did a great job communicating and responding to our questions or concerns. We would definitely recommend Private Cove if you’re looking for that perfect spot on Lake Anna.
We spent a wonderful weekend at the house. The communication with the owner was smooth, and the instructions were clear. The house has a beautiful lake view, and all the rooms are clean. Everyone loved it. Highly recommended!
We LOVED this property...it was exactly as the pictures described. Our party of 13 has plenty of privacy in each bedroom and took advantage of all the amenities - firepit, kayaks, hot tub, game room! We chose this property for the location and the amenities. Thank you!!
