About this property

Lakefront retreat with huge screened-in porch

Lovely, light-filled three-level house with beautiful lake views from almost every room. The two-story living room flows into a dining room and well-equipped kitchen. Sliding glass doors open onto a large screened-in porch that overlooks the lake and spans the entire house, with plenty of room for dining and relaxing. Skylights in the living room and windows everywhere bring in the light.

About a 90-minute drive from DC, the house is perfect for weekend or week-long getaways (10% discount for week-long stays). It has 3 bedrooms with queen beds, all of which have lake views, and 1 bedroom with twin beds and a street/woods view. For your indoor entertainment, we have excellent wi-fi throughout the house, two TVs with cable and access to your own streaming services, as well as books, games, puzzles, and a pool table. On cool nights, cozy up to the wood-burning fireplace in the living room.

Hang out on the huge screened-in porch that faces the lake. Outside, swim in the lake, and paddle our kayaks and stand-up paddleboards. Our house is on Keaton Lake, also known as the “small lake” – no motorboats allowed, which adds to the serenity. Enjoy the dock, picnic table, fire pit, Adirondack chairs, and birdsong in the wooded surroundings. At night, step onto the dock or even the front porch to see a million stars.

The lake house is located in a development called Lake of the Woods, a gated community with a diverse population of about 7,000 and a wealth of amenities that guests can enjoy. These include an 18-hole, par 71 PGA golf course, 2 lakes, 8 beaches of varying sizes, outdoor swimming pool, horseback riding (including trail and pony rides), walking and hiking trails, parks and playgrounds. (Some activities require a modest fee; golf is about $20-$40.) There’s a café where you can get breakfast, lunch and dinner, and a clubhouse that offers Sunday brunch, dinner five nights a week, and drinks, all with a fabulous view of the 3-mile long, 550-acre “big lake.”

Dining and grocery-shopping options are within a few minutes' drive. Farther away (30 minutes) to the east is Fredericksburg, and to the west is Culpeper. Both offer local restaurants and art galleries, and Fredericksburg has a wide array of big-box stores and chain restaurants. For history buffs, the area is rich in Civil War history and battlefields. Local wineries offer tastings and live music.

Great time in Virginia!
We had a great time. The house was amazing. The host was incredibly attentive to any of our questions. The directions left for us, the labels in the house, the amenities were all fantastic. We had a blast! We would stay here again.

Thanksgiving with family
We came to spend Thanksgiving with family in LOW. This house was very close to them, and we are so happy that it was available for booking. The house was everything advertised and more. There was a homey feeling to it as soon as you walked in. We dealt with Janet and she was just great! Very responsive to questions. I would definitely rent this house again for other family trips to LOW.

Unwinding at the Lake
Our first visit to Lake of the Woods was wonderful. The house was very clean, we were provided an abundance of towels, small appliances to cook pretty much anything we wanted, and plenty of sitting and lounging for everyone. Our host, Janet, answered our questions promptly and was able to give us good suggestions for everything we wanted to do. Check in was a breeze and we were able to relax from the very start. We’ll definitely be back and hopefully will be able to rent this house again.

Beautiful!
This is a wonderful house in a very tranquil setting. The beds are all incredibly comfortable and we slept like babies. The kitchen is well equipped and the water supplies like the noodles, paddle boards, and kayaks were exactly what we were looking for. Everything in the house is clearly labeled making it easy to find anything and Janet made check in as breeze. She was also very attentive to our every need. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Comfortable, clean, great lake vacation!
Stayed here with my family and our close friends and their children (adults, teens and children) and all were very happy here! House was immaculately clean and very comfortable. Kitchen and light switches are labeled so it was easy to find everything we needed. We loved using the kayaks and paddle boards and swimming right off the dock. So convenient! We visited the Clubhouse beach at the main lake (a short drive) and there are restaurants, grocery, etc, all very close. Janet, the host, got everything organized for us -- there are a few extra forms to make sure we could get into the Lake of the Woods community -- and finding the house and checking in / out was super simple. Very responsive and helpful. We hope to be back soon!!
