You will be most welcome. Thanks for the lovely review. K
My family, including the dogs all spent a week at Blue Skies Lake Anna. The house is beautifully appointed very spacious and very well stocked. We didn’t need a thing while we were there. I loved that it was on a quiet cove. Perfect for children and animals who wanna go out to float or splash around on the little shoreline. We were able to use the kayaks and the standup paddleboard that were provided. So peaceful and gorgeous just kayaking and paddling around the cove watching birds. The dock was perfect to sit on sharing stories and drinks. Absolutely enjoyed the peaceful laid-back atmosphere of Lake Anna.

The location of the house is amazing.water wise .. The house main level needs work, the main bathroom on the lower level smels like urine . . the furniture is old ... we had ants in the home. The towels smelled bad and our room had no sheets on our bed. .Neighbors dogs also came loose to my dog which was scary and I had to fight them off. Also carpet is dirty ... Over priced i would say for the house ... the lake area...is what u pay for.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the amazing lake location, but we’re very sorry that several aspects of your stay did not meet expectations.
We were disappointed to hear that you had cleanliness concerns. I will be reviewing these concerns with my cleaning team and taking steps to ensure the home is properly prepared and maintained between stays.
Regarding the furniture, the home is represented in the listing photos, including its current style and condition, but I appreciate your feedback and will keep it in mind as I evaluate future improvements to the property.
I will also continue working with pest control professionals to address ants entering the home, particularly when the patio doors from the deck to the kitchen are left open. Any pest treatment will, of course, be handled with the safety of our four-legged guests in mind.
We’re especially sorry about the incident involving the neighbors’ dogs. We understand how frightening that must have been, particularly with your own dog, and we regret that you had to deal with that during your stay. I will be speaking with my new neighbor about the issue, and I am also planning to erect a fence to help prevent pets from crossing between properties.
Thank you again for bringing these matters to our attention. We take your feedback seriously and will use it to make improvements to both the property and the overall guest experience.

I am glad that you found the lake view peaceful and the home nice. We promptly responded to guest's questions about the tv and the thermostat. We are happy to remedy any issues we are made aware of during a guest’s stay and would have immediately addressed them if we had known. All outdoor equipment has been cleaned and one of two outdoor tables was replaced. We did not agree to this guest’s request for a refund made after departure.
The views are amazing. Loved spending the day on the large pier with our dog babies. House was clean and spacious.

Mattie and I enjoyed meeting you and your family. Guests like you make this hosting adventure fun! I look forward to seeing you again. K
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blue Skies. This is probably one of the cleanest houses we have ever rented through Homeaway. The location is on a quiet part of the lake and the dock was much larger than it appears in the pictures. We would definitely stay here again.

You were great guests. You treated the house well and were a pleasure to meet.
We had a great time. The house was tucked back in a cove so we could float around on tubes and not have to worry about anything.
Nice flat walk from house to dock.

Blue skies for sure!
Very clean and orderly home. Being in a cove was delightful without all the boats going by. Mornings were wonderful at the boat dock. Would highly recommend staying here again.

Thanks for being such a great guest. I appreciate your kind comments.
We had a wonderful time celebrating Thanksgiving on the lake. We were provided a roasting pan for our turkey! How much more could you ask for? The view was incredible, and we enjoyed the deer, squirrels, and chipmunks.

We were so pleased to host you at Thanksgiving. I enjoyed meeting you and your family. Hopefully, you'll have the opportunity to stay at Blue Skies at Lake Anna in the future. K
Blue Skies had everything we needed for a great stay. We loved taking the kayaks out on the lake and the fishing off the dock was great. The cove location was peaceful with a lovely wooded area across the cove, yet close to the larger lake area. When we were inside the house we had wonderful views of the lake. The dock lounge chairs were awesome for a relaxing afternoon reading on the dock or taking a nap. We also enjoyed campfires in the fire pit and playing pool on the very nice pool table. If we return to Lake Anna we would definitely stay again.

Lovely Lakefront Home with a Beautiful View
We enjoyed a family weekend at Blue Skies. The house was very clean and spacious to accommodate six adults and two dogs, and very comfortable. We enjoyed the pool table and the outside property amenities as well, which included a fire pit, dock, and paddle boat. The views of the lake were spectacular, and the location was convenient to Lake Anna Park and the winery. We were sad to leave!
