About this property

Waterfront: great views, boathouse, beach, Free Kayaks/Paddleboards PRIVATE SIDE

Enjoy your vacation at a beautiful lake front home with a magnificent view and lovely boat house. Our home is on the private side of Lake Anna, features over 200+ of lake front with a fantastic view of the lake, has 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, open concept kitchen, dining, and two story great room with stone fireplace, prowler style (2 story) windows facing the lake; hardwood floors; kitchen has maple cabinets w/dark granite counters & walk in pantry; screen porch; huge deck; covered parking; boat house with ample shaded seating as well as a sun deck and shaded beach with gentle sloping water entry.



Enjoy swimming in the lake or the community pool; fishing; paddle boarding or bring your own boat to cruise around the 4,000 acre lake.

House is fully equipped with free use of paddle boards and kayaks as well as a swim mat.


The house has an excellent layout with stunning views from the kitchen and main floor family room. The family room has a TV above the fireplace. There is ample space for eating and serving food with a kitchen bar that seats four, a kitchen table for 4, a standup bar for 4 and a dining room table for 6.


On the lower level there is a large game room with ping pong table, foosball and game table as well as a large screen TV and comfy sectional.


The house features YouTube TV and has broadband internet that is fast enough for streaming, zoom etc. Internet service is fiber. TV's are located in the main floor family room, the basement family room as well as in the Master Bedroom and upstairs bedroom with the queen bed.


The outside amenities are pretty cool too - You have a screened-in porch off the kitchen area with table and seating area, an expansive outside deck to barbecue (gas Weber grill) with a picnic table that seats 8. You have a boathouse with a covered seating area and a sunny deck with beautiful views.

There is an outdoor firepit.


Vista Place is equipped with 2 adult paddle boards, 2 adult kayaks and 2 kayaks for children (weight limit of 130 lbs) and a Swim Mat.

There is also a wonderful beach area with a sloping entrance into the lake with a sandy bottom. The beach is shaded so it is perfect for children to play all day without sunburn. Adirondack chairs on both the beach and the boathouse.

The house is secluded from the road and private entrance and then opens to a wide view of the lake, lakeside. On the lakeside we are on the main lake to see activity but secluded in a cove-like setting for protected swimming and hanging out. We are in the main part of the lake, the water is constantly moving but you are tucked off to the side so you can enjoy the activity but have a safe area to swim and relax in the water.

The neighborhood has a community swimming pool (less than 1/2 mile from the house open Memorial Day to Labor Day); tennis courts with pickle ball court and basketball hoop and a boat launch area that is available for your use. A children's playground is new and added to the common area - and is available for guests to use. We ask that you follow all community use guidelines provided at the house.

The house has a covered 2 car carport and ample parking for a boat trailer in the drive way. No street parking.

Minimum age 26 to rent. Under 26 must be accompanied by parent or guardian.

NO Parties or "events" permitted at the house per Louisa County Code.


***Maximum occupancy is 8 adults; 10 people total. Additional occupancy over 10 considered for small children but not guaranteed. FAMILY GROUPS ONLY.***

House is 4 miles from the grocery store; ABC store; pizza and Chinese restaurants.

No smoking
Photo ID may be required upon booking.
Rental agreement required to be filled out and returned signed with guests names who will be staying at the house.

We are on the PRIVATE side of Lake Anna. There are no marinas on this side. This means the lake is quieter with less boat traffic. But, it also means you have to bring gas in cans down to your boat/jet ski.

2 car covered carport
Fully-equipped kitchen
Chest Freezer for ice and/or frozen food storage in addition to refrigerator/freezer
Rec Room with PingPong and Foosball tables

*PLEASE NOTE: BOAT LIFTS at the boat house ARE NOT FOR USE. If you bring a boat, you are able to tie up along side of the boat house.


Situated on the main part of the lake for excellent views but out of the main thoroughfare. Great swimming area.

We are in the country and there are known bears, coyotes, mountain lions in the area as well as snakes, bees, spiders and insects. Please be careful at night and while walking in woods and around rocks. We do our best to keep up with the spider webs but nature is quick. There are blowers and brooms readily available as well as wasp and insect spray if needed.

Guest Access
The entire house is reserved just for your fun lakeside vacation.
Interaction with Guests

I am always available via phone and text.

Also this is a pet free home - meaning we do not accept reservations with pets, however, it does not mean it is hypoallergenic.

The Neighborhood
The community is one of the best communities on the lake. You have a community swimming pool, tennis courts and playset. Please be respectful of common areas. You will enjoy access to all including the boat launch. Enjoy walking and hiking on open traffic-free roads. No Fireworks are allowed.

Getting Around
Located five minutes from a grocery store (via car). Car is a must. Many local places to visit.

Waterside Family Vacation

Our extended family very much enjoyed our second stay at Vista Place. The house is comfortably furnished, has numerous spaces to hang out alone or in small groups when quiet time is needed, and is well cared for. During our late fall visit, we mainly enjoyed the interior spaces and peaceful atmosphere. Visiting during the summer allowed us to take advantage of the boat house deck (with ladder access from the water), kayaks, paddle boards, float pad, and the sandy beach area shaded from the afternoon sun. We spent lots of time on the screened porch during both visits. We appreciated the privacy of the property and were pleasantly surprised by how quiet this area of the lake was even in summer. The host Anne was very responsive to our inquiries and even volunteered suggestions to beginning paddleboarders on how to use Vista Place’s equipment. We just wish we had thought to bring our binoculars for checking out the variety of birds in the area.

Lake House Delivers

The lake house on Lake Anna had all the amenities that were advertised. Our daughters and their families had a wonderful experience swimming, kayaking, jumping on the float mat and playing ping pong. The house was in excellent condition with all utilities working well. I highly recommend it.

Perfect spot on the lake

This property was well planned and well situated by the lake. It was a perfect place for young and old in the family. The best parts were the warm lake water, shaded beach for kids, well-designed boat house, water activities available, big kitchen, playroom, and screened porch. We loved all of it.

Best family vacation!

I've rented on Lake Anna for years, and this has been (by far) the best house & property! I traveled this year with my wife and three young kids, my parents, and my brother. The house has a great layout and is very clean and well kept. The property was the real highlight of our stay with the unbelievable backyard! There is a nice dock & boathouse, firepit, and best of all, private beach! The kids and adults alike had a blast hanging out at the beach, swimming, and enjoying adventures on the Lilypad, kayaks, and paddleboards (all provided by the owners!). As an added bonus, trees provided the perfect amount of shade at the beach in the afternoon. At the end of trip, my mom said "This was one of my favorite and most relaxing vacations I've ever been on." Thanks, and we hope to stay here again in the future!

Our multi-generational group loved this house during our first vacation to Lake Anna. Location was great, walk right out back to private dock and beach. House was great, with comfortable furniture and beds. Great to have lots of outdoor equipment (2 kayaks, 2 kid kayaks, 2 paddleboards). Owner was very communicative and responded to messages quickly. Hope to book again in the future!

Allergies kicked in triggering throwing up

My sister has serious allergies she stepped in the house and they flared up as soon as she came in the house and she said there was definitely more than one cat in the house at some point. She kept throwing up and had hives none of us own cats by the way. Needless to say she ended up leaving earlier than the rest of us because it triggered her fibromyalgia.

Amazing lakehouse

Our family loved staying at this property on the lake. Ann was a terrific host and provided excellent information prior to our arrival. The house was even better than shown, extremely clean and well stocked. It was truly a wonderful and relaxing experience. The kids had fun using the water toys provided such as the kayaks, stand up paddle boards, etc.. When we had a mishap with our boat trailer and reached out to Ann, she was incredibly helpful in finding us a staplegun from her network of friendly neighbors. Definitely above and beyond from what I would expect for a VRBO.. We highly recommend this property.
