Very nice.Peaceful and serene. Property could have been cleaner.Probably end of season wear and tear.Some things needed repair such as bannister to downstairs and screen door to the deck.Broken and off track. some of the outdoor steps are way to high and concrete color makes it hard to see especially for older people. But overall a great place to gather.

The best part of the place is the backyard. It is gorgeous and easier to go down and up. The house is comfortable to move around and we enjoyed our stay. The host was wonderful to communicate with. The view toward Lake Anna is gorgeous from the house.

House was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for a multigenerational family group. We spent a lot of time in the huge boathouse. Public boat ramp is right around the corner. Beach area at edge of lake is great to wade into for all ages.

Perfect family getaway

The house was perfect for my family and celebrating our 25th anniversary. The location is convenient and just down the road from a restaurant and small store. The family enjoyed the property and all it had to offer. We enjoyed many hours fishing, renting a pontoon, kayak and paddleboard and relaxing at the boathouse which is a bonus. The house had just the right number of bedrooms and the kitchen was unbelievably well stocked with anything you need to cook. Felt right at home while on vacation.

Fishing Trip

Group of six men five were retired, Four Engineers and two Firefighters. Went fishing all five days and had a great time. The lake house was perfet, all though we basically slept, most of our meals were at local restaurants. Could not ask for a better boat house, plenty of room for all three boats. Several of us are considering this location for a future family vacation.

Fantastic house right in the water

This house had everything we needed! There are so many houses we’ve rented where some of the bare essentials were available. We felt like it was a place where you can easily cook your own meals. We loved the little sandy beach area and the fire pit with available fire wood. The house was quite spacious and you can tell the owners keep good care of it. We can’t wait to come back again next year.

Great Place to Stay

This home is perfect. Everything is neat, clean, tidy. The inside of the home is set up to maximize the view and use of the lake. The outside of the home has some landscaping that is very well thought out. The views from the deck of the home are awesome. The deck near the boathouse is a great place to have morning coffee. Overall this is a great place to rest and relax. The owners are to be complimented for keeping this home perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Bud & Cathy

Host profile image
We had been coming to the lake primarily to waterski for 30+ years. Always dreamed of having our own place and finally made the decision after looking at more homes than you can imagine to find just the right one. We live permanently in Northern VA and plan to make it down to the lake as often as possible, regardless of the season.

Why they chose this property

We have 7 children now from High School to early 30's, so we needed a property that would hold our family of 9 (at times to include the Grandparents) and entertain all ages, young and old. And that is what we found!

What makes this property unique

We really enjoy the expansive deck, screen porch, large yard to play in, natural beach with gradual fall off which is wonderful for little ones and old ones alike. Our new boathouse is over the top with Gazebo, overhead fan, lounge furniture, large sun deck, bar room with fridge, microwave and hotdog maker! We offer 'whip' boat docking system for guests. Our dead-end street with cul-de-sac is great for the younger ones to bike or skate. Especially appealing is the ability to take a stroll to The Cove Restaurant, ice cream shop or convenience market in 10 minutes.
