We had a great time at Lake Anna! What a great location! So much nicer than a hotel, gave us all the room that we needed. Had a few issues with the house but it was about what I expected for a lake house in the off season. With the winter weather we were dependent on space heaters, which was fine but we blew the circuit and were in the dark late one evening until the property manager got back to us (which happened very quickly given the late hour). The key things such as the kitchen appliances and bathroom fixtures were nice and appeared recently updated. There were some non-functional things like ceiling repairs that were needed, just felt like a seasonal house to set expectations but not a problem. We were there in the off season - apparently there had been a repairmen there just before we checked in - apparently he didn’t clean clean up after himself and we found pizza in several rooms. Other than the pizza it was clean. We loved the lake and took advantage of the boats. How amazing to wake to lake views everyday!
This is the 2nd time we have stayed here and both times have been great. The house is located in a quiet little cove with a beautiful 2 story dock and private beach. There is also a boat ramp right next to the property which is a giant plus. The house has plenty of sleeping space and a lot of updated amenities. Would definitely recommend this property!
House was perfect with the lakefront property, dock, fire pit, etc. Owner was very responsive if we had any questions.
A little bit of TLC and fixing some plumbing issues could make this a top notch property.
Regardless, we had a great time and would definitely come back for another stay.
Lots of outdoor fun swimming and fishing on private beach and pier. A little disappointed that the advertised water trampoline and paddle boat were not there. Also a couple indoor arcade games weren't working. The landlord did communicate well however, there are some issues that folks mentioned in previous reviews that still exist with the house. We didn't allow any of the issues to prevent us having a good time. The location is great and the view beautiful and relaxing.

Unsafe and Poorly Maintained
- Found a berry flavored vape pen on the bunk bed ladder in the room shared by our 4 and 6 year olds.
- Glassware in unlocked cabinets easy to reach by my infant
- Dangerous cleaning supplies in unlocked cabinets easy for my infant to reach
- Stairs leading to upstairs loft were improperly bolted together, and not properly bolted to the floor
- Safety posts on stairwell to basement were loose and couldn't support any weight
- Gate on deck above the boat dock had no gate latch, was simply wedged into place
- Fixtures (shower fixtures and light fixtures/ ceiling fans) were hanging out of the walls/ ceilings
- Attempted to turn on the shower in the master bedroom, and water began pouring out of basement ceiling. Attempted to call the number of the owner provided to VRBO, BUT IT CALLED THE RENTAL HOUSE.
- Owner was dealing with understandable personal issues, but didn't provide 1) proper contact information and/or 2) a backup person to contact
The property had lovely views and would have been plenty of space. There was broken junk (refrigerator, dishes, hot-tub, etc) everywhere you looked though.
Not what you would expect for a house that cost as much as this one did a night, probably half of that would make sense. We stayed at a house that was past the wake zone by the cove before and it was less than half of what we paid for this, but 100% better quality. This house is old, but in the process of being updated (I think), there was a lot of trash outside that would lead to that assumption. We could not figure out how to turn on the lights at the boat house, even after asking. The boat house had more spiders than could be counted. I was bit, twice, and will probably have to get them looked at by a doctor. We were required to bring our own sheets, take trash when we left, and put away all dishes, all ok, but made us think that there was no house cleaning between guests. House was very dirty, to include blankets, and there was no water pressure and a struggle to shower. Dryer took three cycles to get towels from wet to damp, the belt was slipping and made for a great noise after a day on the lake. Kitchen is nice, and seems to have been updated. Had to reset wireless router numerous times during stay to allow for internet connection. There were ants in the basement. We were harassed when getting our boat out of the water. I literally pulled it out of the water and a lady approached me to ask if I was going to lock the gate. Demanded I answered her questions because she lived in that community. Very unfortunate experience and the lesson learned is to not rent without better pictures of the house. Normally would not have, but every house on the lake was rented when we could go. Plan early and see pictures of what you are renting.

Beautiful location, some inconveniences and safety concerns
Even in the very cold and windy weather, the location was beautiful and so enticing to return in spring or summer. Overall a nice house but had some issues throughout our 24 hr stay. Host communicated with us that the dishwasher wasn't working and there were personal issues with the cleaning crew as well as herself that couldn't be avoided so we were prepared for some minor inconveniences. When we arrived a candle was burning down almost to the wick with the tv blaring.
Luckily the propane man was just leaving and explained how we would need to adjust the new propane heater using a wrench .Minor inconveniences included all unmade beds in the loft and wet towels in the washing machine.
After we did the dishes by hand a few of us went to the dock. Those that stayed behind heard water and discovered a hose that was not attached under the sink and water flooded out onto the floor, soaking the rugs, and possibly leaking to the floor below. Lots of cleaning supplies had to be cleared out, and towels found to soak up the water. Contacted host who talked us through how to reconnect the hose. At another point the refrigerators stopped working and we had to get the code to the utility room to find the breaker box to trip and correct that. Two burners on the gas stove were very tricky to turn off with knobs that were not secure. At midnight we had no water at all. Left a voicemail for the host who did text us back luckily and required another trip to the breaker box to deal with another switch. The utility room seemed to have lots of cords connected and wrapped around various places that seemed possibly unsafe. The basement bathroom had a heater on the floor close to water source, another possible hazard. In spite of all the challenges the host did respond at least by text to our messages of concern, apologized for the issues and was able to address them for the most part. We still had a great time because we are resourceful and worked together. We loved eating around the great dining room table . Our recommendation to the host is to address these issues of safety and possible hazards before allowing other guests to come. Once the issues have been resolved, this will be absolutely ideal place to which we would definitely want to return.
Run, Don't Walk, to ANY other Rental-Beautiful Views are NOT Worth Dealing with the HORRIBLE Owner!
There are positive's and negatives to this rental, unfortunately the negatives overpower anything positive. For the Positives; the lake view is gorgeous, secluded and very tranquil. The private beach area/dock were wonderful for our little ones to play and enjoy the water and allow the older kids to fish. We used the fire pit to make smore's, so fun. It was relaxing on the floating mat that was anchored to the dock. The kitchen overlooking the lake was beautiful. Negatives; it was clear the rental had not been cleaned well at all, despite the high VRBO fee for cleaning/Covid. There was dirt/random junk under all the couches and beds. The previous renters trash on the beach/porch/dirty dishes were left for us to clean up. Although we thought we checked to make sure there was nothing to harm our kids we found a small Tupperware of pills accessible. The kids also found a half of a pill on the horse book in the lower bookcase downstairs, where there were other stuffed animals/kid books. We saw it shortly after and the pill was opened with powder on the book. We didn't know if our kids opened it or if a previous renter did so our guests had to leave immediately to seek medical treatment for their 3 year old, luckily this was our last night there anyways. The pill was determined to be for ADHD/eating disorders, per poison control . There was mold growing on items in downstairs cupboards and we had to wash every kitchen item before using because they were all dirty. Originally it appeared the owner is trying to remodel the place but then became apparent that an amateur handyman tried to fix/rig everything. The motor to the refrigerator was obnoxiously loud the entire time to the point of keeping us awake/unable to relax on main level. The owner claimed we weren't supposed to use it yet it's still listed as 2 fridges on this listing. The stick on carpet on the stairs were just laying on the stairs not secured at all. 2 of our little ones and my husband fell down stairs as they slipped on them. There was at least one mouse within the home which we saw scurry about. The owner is defensive, unprofessional, and rude. I sent her the above positives/negatives & she immediately blamed us for all the issues. She claimed she told me to call her immediately with issues, she did not, only a handwritten note in kitchen says to. She even called to yell at me! We were there to relax, all the cosmetic things were overlooked until the pill. We will NEVER be back!!!
Comfy, plenty of space, lake access - our group of 11 could have stayed at the property for our whole visit and enjoyed every minute. Plenty of amenities. The lake house has a lived-in feel and the fact that everything wasn’t perfectly polished made me more at home.
We rented the house for a long weekend to celebrate a bride to be! We had plenty of space and loved our access to the lake. We rented a boat about 2 miles from this house too. We had a great time and will be back!
We celebrated my husband’s birthday with 5 close friends at this fantastic house! Right on the gorgeous Lake Anna, with a private beach, an awesome fire pit and plenty of bedrooms- this place was absolutely perfect! The property owner was fantastic- very responsive and so accommodating! We were so pleased with this house, and I slept so well in the extremely comfortable master suite bedroom! Such a cool place! We will definitely be back!
The pros: The property owner was great to work with and very responsive. The outside private beach area was great to have. We really enjoyed the boat house and lake. The house is located close to restaurants.
The cons: There are obvious repairs that needed to be completed inside the home. The house also really needs to be cleaned better. This was my first time renting in lake Anna and I didn't know there wasn't trash service. I had to take all of our trash to a transfer station. We were checking out on a Sunday and the place did not open until 10. Just something to keep in mind for future renters.
We just had a beautiful family vacation. The owners were easily contacted with any questions we had and really tried to make sure everything was taken care of
Great getaway, owner was great with questions, we enjoyed our stay. Room for improvement on upkeep, ceiling had a small leak, upper deck was showing its age, lots of bugs, but we made the most of our stay and had a good time with family and kids.
This lake house has gorgeous views of Lake Anna, tons of bedrooms and beds, and a spacious kitchen. The living room is small but the game room downstairs is where you'll spend most of your time when indoors. I'm sure the property really shines in the summer when you can enjoy the water. We came for a small NYE gathering and had a nice time.
We really enjoyed the private beach, dock and fire pit. We brought our own kayaks. We all also enjoyed the game room downstairs. We will go back again!!
Located directly on Lake Anna , this house was perfect for our family getaway. The turning leaves were beautiful and our family enjoyed playing games, making campfires and just taking in the gorgeous views. The host was very communicative and helpful. We look forward to returning!
Great outdoor amenities! Enjoyed the beac h area and fire pit! We rented a pontoon boat for the weekend and enjoyed every moment!
House was comfortable and downstairs was perfect for entertaining kids and adults with football and other great games!
The house was perfect for a family get away at the lake. Rustic enough to make it feel like you were at a lake house, clean enough with plenty of things to do to make it enjoyable for everyone. There were a few things we would bring on the front end if we did it again (trash bags, extra toilet paper, plastic cups/paper plates, paper towels etc.). Overall, a wonderful experience we would book again.
Fantastic yard and waterfront with less than desirable house and poor cleanliness
I would like to start with a positive. The time spent outdoors by the fire pit, beach area, and dock/boat house totally made the trip. One of the best outdoor experiences I have had at Lake Anna. I wish I could say the same for the rest of our stay, but I cannot. While the cleaning service was supposed to have just left the property, there were a lot of mouse droppings on and between the master bedroom comforter and mattress. Obviously not cleaned (a woman’s headband was also on the mattress) and very disgusting. We had to put our sheets on top of the comforter and sleep with towels as blankets as the stack of blankets in the closet at that point did not seems so enticing. There were also mouse droppings throughout the house, in the corners of the bedrooms, and in the basement. My sons were downstairs when a mouse came out from under the couch. On a different night, my wife and I were at the kitchen table eating dinner when we saw a mouse come from beside the oven and go into the pan of our remaining dinner food sitting on the range top. There are broken fixtures and appliances. Even though all basically worked enough, I expected for such an expensive property to have a good clean experience, not broken chandeliers, an oven leaning forward because it no longer has front legs, a bent main entrance door that does not close well nor keep the bugs out (nor provide much of a sense of security), and a refrigerator with a messed up compressor that was very loud and didn't keep our food as cold as it should. There is also a stockpile of old appliances, tools, gas tanks, and trash under the decks of the house on both sides, adding to the junkiness and low-quality feeling. Needless to say, we were pretty grossed out by the house. Circling back to the positive, I will say that the beach area is somewhat unique to this property and was a huge part of why my kids loved Lake Anna so much. They also really loved the floating platform the owner had anchored in the water to the side of the dock. We did appreciate, and greatly enjoy, the provisions for water activities, and the firepit by the beach area.

Why they chose this property
It’s the prime spot not heavy traffic and have a natural beach and deeper water at the dock and only one neighbor that’s sits close to the road.
What makes this property unique
It’s a lake house and not a mansion and the lake feel. It’s perfect for all ages and natural beach that walks out slowly. Very quiet area and one neighbor close to road. Plus a boat ramp with code and dock lift and can also tie up at the dock. Beach is large and house is right on the water.
