We had a wonderful time at this beautiful lake house. Used it as a base to travel into DC. Everything was just perfect. Host was amazing to work with. Highly recommend!
Stayed for a ladies’ cozy weekend. Wonderful house, very well stocked. Very easy communication with the owner. We enjoyed it thoroughly and will return!
We had a family of nine ranging from early 70s to the age of 10. It was a great house for us and a perfect location for our mini vacation of historic Fredericksburg and the surrounding Civil War battlefields. We particularly enjoyed the open plan of the kitchen and gathering area on the upper level while the children often "escaped" to the lower level of games and some TV watching. Being on the water was lovely and we enjoyed watching wildlife from the deck. The area was quiet and peaceful. Would definitely recommend to others.
Ellen was so welcoming and ready to help at any moment. I had questions throughout our stay and she was always so quick to reply. The home was plenty big for our adult children and their families. Everything we needed was there! It was the perfect place for our family gathering. And the most beautiful view!! Wished we could’ve been out on that water more but it was just a bit cold!
Perfect location that was central to lots of great attractions! The house was great and the hosts were very gracious! Highly recommend for a great getaway!
The house and lake was amazing. The views were incredible. House was fully prepared for our family and accommodations were great. Owners were great with communication and any questions or concerns we had. Will definitely be back!
Beautiful property. True to description. Plenty of linens, utensils, plates, pantry items, games, puzzles, lake "toys", and available via text or messenger. We have been taking this family girls' trip for 9 years and this was by far the best rental!

Great place to “get away”!! The owner has a lot of “toys” they share with the renters. The kids loved it.
Stayed with several families with kids. Plenty of room and a ton of supplies for us to use during our stay. Owners very responsive to any inquiries we had. Had a great week
Plenty of room for 12 people to spread out. Endless water toys and games. Ample parking. 2 living areas plus sun room!

About the host
Hosted by Ellen Richard
Owning a lake house has always been our dream, so when we had a chance to buy this gem in 2022, we jumped on it! We have meticulously improved, cleaned and appointed this home to make it fun and safe for our family as well as yours!
Why they chose this property
We live in the D.C. area and wanted to find a lakefront home that was a short distance away, so we could take advantage of the lake, year round, even if only for just a weekend. We hope that you'll love the Lake of the Woods community as much as we do.
What makes this property unique
Private, gated community means you'll have an extra layer of security when staying here. The home is on 98 feet of waterfront, so you can enjoy the lake and still have all of the amenities of the house right at your fingertips. We installed a hot tub, hot water on demand, new windows, new deck, new landscaping and hardscaping - we hope you'll love all of the improvements!
