Our time in the lake house was fantastic. There's plenty to do in the house itself to enjoy the stay, but there's also many fun things to do if you're willing to drive a bit. Your time there will definitely be enjoyable!
We loved the house, the layout of the property and the areas that our grandson could enjoy were a real bonus. We had 4 generations staying with us during this week. We had ping pong matches and with everyone cooking at least one night, plenty of room and storage for all of our hungry guests! Immaculately clean, well provisioned and just the kitchen perfect place for our family gathering!!
Our two sons, their wives, and grandchildren enjoyed our week at the lake house. The house was outstanding and everyone had a great time! Our grand children didn’t want to leave the lake.
This is the second year in a row we rented this house. We love the location and the house is the perfect size for our family. The house is well maintained, well stocked, and clean. The pier, sandy play area, fire pit and boathouse are also in excellent condition. The owners are incredibly nice and very responsive. This year’s addition of a black stone grill was a nice surprise. We have already booked for next year!
This was the best property we have ever rented. The house was well equipped for 14. Kitchen had all the things needed to cook with. Plenty of space with a great porch and views of the lake. Boat house, dock, fire pit and beach area were just right for fishing and for the kids to play. Would come back again.
Vacationing with family is great, having our own private apt. getaway was fantastic. With 6 kids on vacation at night when they aren't ready to end the day we retired to our quiet apt. The house is roomy and the kids enjoyed the game room. Everyone enjoyed the kayaks, wakeboard and just the floats provided to relax in the lake. The firepit area is fantastic and plenty of seating is provided. My only negative are the spiders. I would have had a great time with a powerwasher on the boat house. I do have a spider phobia so my warning is don't go near the boat house at night that's when they come out and hang in their webs.
This is a nice, large house on a really beautiful lot with a great view of the lake, both day and night. It’s beautiful by the water but it’s a long walk through the grass—we might have spent more time there if it were half as far. There were 10 of us, six adults and four children, and we had plenty of room and never got in each other’s way, which was especially nice in the spacious kitchen. The other reviews here are accurate and capture the charm of the place. I only have minor complaints, which maybe I shouldn’t mention, and won’t stop us from coming back, but here goes: some of the bedrooms didn’t have dressers or nightstands, there are no towel bars in the main bath, the dinner plates are not microwave safe, the kitchen / great room has a lot of echo, and the couch has lost most of its fluff, but was still comfortable. Definitely a 5/5!
My family enjoyed this property immensely! There are 14 of us ranging in age from 2 to 67. It had something for everyone. The teens loved the game room and we all loved the kayaks and SUPs. The sandy area was perfect for my great granddaughter! The walk in area of water was so nice for those of us who just wanted to float. We hope to make this a yearly vacation!
We enjoyed our week at Sunset Harbour. It is situated within a 10 minute drive to most restaurants and other things to do around Lake Anna. The lakefront/dock area is perfect for resting, playing games, and swimming. I used the boat lift to keep my boat in the lake all week without fear of it being jostled by waves or getting rained on heavily. Rented a pontoon as well from Shipwreck rental less than a mile away. Plenty of room on the dock to tie that off as well. Game room was a hit with the whole family. Owner was very responsive to a few questions I had. We hope to rent again in the future!
With ourselves and children and 7 grandchildren, we had a great stay at sunset retreat. The place was clean, had plenty of room and kitchen well stocked. Location was beautiful with great views of the lake. The game room with ping pong and game consoles and other games kept everyone entertained. Neighbors were friendly and helpful. The amenities were great with stand-up paddle boards, kayaks and an easy shallow entry (1 foot) that was perfect for the little ones. Water was perfect temp at end of June and boat traffic was minimal. Very much recommend!
This property is outstanding! It has something for everyone! Our family totally enjoyed our stay!
I would suggest two recommendations: wooden deck needs to be repainted and living room sectional is old and could be replaced.
We could not have been happier here. Fit our family perfectly! However, we will no longer be able to return due to the pet status of the home. We understand ,but are so disappointed when we watched our pets so carefully, that other guests didn’t do the same. They hurt it for the guests, that truly appreciated the rules and abided by them.
We were so blessed to have had at least one stay there, just wish it could have been more. Bill and Bonnie Nash
Very clean. Very beautiful, spacious and perfect Place for rest and relaxing vacation. We kayaked daily and enjoyed our morning coffee while watching the eagles over the lake. We loved our week here and would definitely recommend this Vrbo to anyone!
Wow, we had such a wonderful time on our trip! The house was perfect for 13 of us - the house was beautiful and had everything we needed. The sound-proof, see-through doors to the ping pong/game room was clutch, as it allowed the young (and young at heart) to have fun and be as loud as they wanted :) The yard, boat dock/slips and fire pit were perfect for us! We rented a pontoon boat and were able to use the convenient boat lift for docking. The sunsets and early/evening kayaking was delightful. The location is not far from grocery stores and restaurants - and we even took a day trip to Monticello, which is less than an hour away.
On a side note, I will add that the hosts were incredibly responsive. We had some minor confusion about the trash/recycling collection, and Susanna was in touch continually to make sure the issue was remedied quickly. Great house - highly recommend!!
What can i say, the property was fabulous for our family! Everything was as advertised, the location on the lake made it easy. Much quieter than the hustle and bustle of the larger part of the lake. The owners were responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!
Our week was terrific--filled with water sports daily. Three kayaks and two paddleboards were provided and we added two more kayaks and a canoe of our own. We also brought our 18 foot run about which we easily launched in the neighborhood launching area and we were able to drive up onto the lift every day after use. It was a dream fulfilled.
The home had wonderful amenities for the kids when they took shelter in the 93 degree afternoons.
There is a beautiful large sloping yard from the house down to the lake that provided an opportunity for many wonderful evenings of games. We even had an evening around the campfire with s'mores and songs with ukulele accompaniment.
We adults absolutely loved the Screenhouse on the dock. A beautiful place for evening cocktails or morning devotions with coffee!
Can't wait to do it again. The owners were wonderful and very easy to communicate with.
I highly recommend renting this property.
The lake house was beautiful! It had something for everyone. The dock and beach area was awesome! Can’t wait to come back next year!

About the host
Hosted by Susannah and Lou
My Husband and I have been sharing our property through VRBO at Lake Anna for over 5 years. We fell in love immediately with the property and the peaceful nature of the lake. Our kids and Grandkids have all made great memories here. It is an amazing place to get away from the hustle and bustle of our normally busy lives. Building memories and enjoying family and friends on the lake is something worth sharing with others. We've received a lot of great feedback over the years, and we hope to continue to be able to share this beautiful spot. We hope you'll bring family and friends to Lake Anna to see for yourself!
