Ask a questionAbout Gregg and Kim DenHerder
Gregg grew up around Lake Okoboji in Iowa and Kim came from the warm waters in Louisiana. Together, we made a Brady Bunch and decided that Lake Anna was the place to bring the family together. We love lake living and we work hard so we have time to enjoy life and have fun. Gregg is the kind of guy who taught all the neighborhood kids how to water ski. It makes us happy to help others have a good time. We discovered this property that needed some TLC and imagination. You couldn’t even see the house from the water. We took upon the task to renovate the house ourselves in an act of faith and a hope that we could make it a special destination home. So, Gregg set about utilizing all his professional home improvement skills, from a stump grinder and chain saw to every imaginable power tool. Kim removed mounds of wallpaper and got friends and family to help paint, fix and furnish. We created this rental home to be the place our family would want to escape to. We hope you like what we’ve accomplished so far.

Why Gregg and Kim DenHerder chose Bumpass
We fell in love with this house on our favorite part of the lake. The water is warm, the bottom is sandy and a cool stream from a nearby spring keeps your toes cool. This was the spot where we first saw a bald eagle swoop down to grab a fish and enjoy his meal from a tree at the shore. We recognized that this lot had the advantage of a rare combination of proximity to the water, a flat lawn, and shallow and safe water access for children. The house has ample living space and a floor plan designed for entertaining. It has enough room for 16 to eat at the same time and spaces for big groups to chat together or to go off alone for quiet time. The high ceilings and tall windows provide great water views. Quality and solid construction keep the home comfortable and quiet. You don't hear the pitter-patter of footsteps around you when you want to sleep in. We would love to see generations come together to make family memories here. We welcome friends getting together to catch up and relax, a girl's or guy's getaway or a business retreat to brainstorm and network. We hope that you will want to keep coming back to She's a Brick Lake House.
What makes this House unique
* With advance notice, we can book together with Heron's Cove next door. See their listing.#620039 It's hard to find a better lake house better suited for families with small children. The gradual slope with a sandy bottom creates a great play area for little ones to splash in. The private and quiet cove has little boat traffic, so there's no constant barrage of waves from their wakes. The soft sandy beach is made for building castles or digging your toes in. The kids will be playing in the water all day. There's also a fenced -in side yard. Lake Anna's private side enjoys less water traffic, more privacy and a longer season with the warmer water. The house is just a few miles away from 2 country stores where you can pick up a few essentials, bait or fast food, country style. The house is not far from the main road, so there are no long drives down gravel roads or through a meandering subdivision to reach the house. If you bring a boat, 1) the launch is 3 lots down. We'll direct you to the key. 2) you will need to provide a gas can for refueling as there are no marinas 3) you have the option of trailering the boat to the cold side for the day, where you can use a public marina and access 3 restaurants 4) by renting on the warm, secluded, private side you can access both sides of the lake. But you can't access the private side if you rent on the public side. We've tried to include everything to make your stay the best. We have a house nearby and we are frequently checking the house, working on maintenance, and adding things to make sure our guests have the best stay possible.
