About the host
Hosted by Joanna & Vytas
Hi! Welcome to our lake house, Always On Lake Time! We are your hosts, Joanna & Vytas. We are so excited you're here and we can't wait for you to start relaxing on lake time at our family friendly retreat! We currently live in Northern Virginia and spend much of our free time down here at Lake Anna. Joanna is originally from Fredericksburg, VA and spent many summers as a child playing, swimming, and water tubing at Lake Anna. Vytas is originally from Lithuania and speaks three languages. Fun fact: did you know that Lithuania has about 6,000 lakes? Which is why Vytas also spent much of his childhood at the lake.
It has been our dream since we met to have a family lake house. We love the lake so much that we even had our wedding at Lake Anna! So that is why we chose this particular lake as the spot for our vacation home. Our family's favorite things to do at the lake are fishing, boating, and swimming; and boy, is Lake Anna the perfect destination for both!
We hope you enjoy our lake house as much as we do and we look forward to welcoming you to our special slice of heaven. If you have any questions about our property, please don't hesitate to contact us!

Why they chose this property
Our lake house is located inside The Waters at Lake Anna, which is a private, resort-like community. We were drawn to this neighborhood in particular because of the community amenities and the fact that it is located on the private side of the lake. The water on the private side is several degrees warmer than the public side of the lake, which allows for an extended swimming season, sometimes into the end of October!
Additionally, the neighborhood offers a sandy beach and cove for launching non-powered boats, a community pool, tennis and basketball courts, playground, and boat docks. We have an assigned boat slip which you can use if you have a boat that you would like to bring. Just let us know!
The neighborhood is very quiet with very little traffic and the view from the community beach is beautiful. The biggest benefit of being on the private side of the lake is that there is much less boat traffic, so you can really enjoy the peace and quiet of the lake while still participating in the adventures of lake life. Plenty of wildlife can be spotted such as deer, hawks, osprey, blue heron, ducks, etc. Come and enjoy life on lake time!

What makes this property unique
Our lake house is a brand new home, built in 2023, and has been designed with a coastal theme, featuring all brand new furnishings. It's fresh and clean! We've priced our lake house affordably for families and small groups. To enjoy a nice vacation at Lake Anna, you won't need 11 families to help cover the cost of one of those huge lake front properties. With our lake house, you'll enjoy a peaceful and affordable vacation with your friends or family and you'll still get the benefits of being right next to the lake.
This neighborhood is one of the very few neighborhoods in Lake Anna that has a pool and clubhouse. There are also tennis courts, a basketball court, a sandy beach for The Waters at Lake Anna community, a playground, and a boat launch at the docks. We have a boat slip which you can use as well, so feel free to bring your boat. Just let us know in advance. Our lake house also has tons of family friendly activities and two kayaks and two paddle boards available for your use while you stay with us.
