Very clean and well stocked. Great deck. Easy drive down to Lake Anna State Park. If you have a boat, a great dock!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re glad you enjoyed the cleanliness, the deck, and the convenient location to Lake Anna State Park. We’d love to host you again anytime!
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so happy you enjoyed your stay and had a chance to enjoy the area. We’d be delighted to host you again on your next trip!
We had an absolutely lovely weekend. The house is brand new and everything was as described. We would appreciate the addition of more coffee, mugs and wine glasses. But overall the kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans and other items, and the common areas and bathrooms are stunning! The neighborhood is quiet and safe, and we really enjoyed our time there!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your stay and hope to host you again soon.
The house itself is a perfectly fine space — clean, comfortable, and close to the water, though not directly waterfront. Our main disappointment was with the management company and overall hosting experience.A few things future guests should be aware of before booking: the beds are not made prior to arrival, so you should expect to make them yourself. While there is a kitchen, it is very minimally stocked — there were no basic cooking supplies like salt, pepper, or oil, and the number of plates and glasses was limited.The welcome basket included only two trash bags for a long weekend stay, with no extras provided. There is also a washer and dryer available, but no laundry detergent supplied.Overall, the home itself is adequate, but hospitality and guest convenience do not seem to be priorities here. If you are simply looking for a clean place to stay and do not expect a more thoughtful hosting experience, the property may still work well for you.
