Great place and owner, perfect for a week on the lake especially if you love to boat! Took 8 teenagers and my 85yr old mother w me for a week at the lake and had a blast, house is open, bright and well maintained. Enough extras to keep them busy with a game room downstairs and game closet for the evenings and time spent inside. This is our 5th year coming to Lake Anna and finally found a place for a repeat visit next summer!

Perfect!

The house and property were exactly what we were looking for. The lake access and set up on the dock was great. The house is huge, we had plenty of room to spread out as needed. Even the neighbors were very nice. Chris is super nice and extremely attentive and generous. Our group has been going to lake Anna for the last 5-6 years and this is by far the best place we have stayed! We will definitely be back!

4 Days on the Lake

Really enjoyed the Weekend at Bernie's property. House was perfect for our group, newly redone, great space for cooking, eating, card playing both indoors and out. Swimming dock was great, spent a lot of time down by the water. One of the best places we have rented on Lake Anna and we go every year.

Great stay once again!

This was our second time staying at the property and it didn’t disappoint. Everything was clean and well stocked and the lake access was perfect for the kids. Keep in mind that walking back up hill to the house at the end of the day can be tricky for people with mobility issues.

Spacious and beautiful spot on the lake

The house is fantastic and had plenty of room for our group of 3 couples plus an infant. It is well-equipped with basics, including plenty of pots and pans and spices so cooking was no problem. There are enough wineries, breweries and restaurants in the area as well. It's a great spot for a relaxing getaway and is worth it just for the lake view alone!

About the host

Hosted by Chris White

Host profile image

This home is one of the original homes on Lake Anna. My parents bought this beautiful property in 1976. I was 8 years old. They built a little cottage that we used on weekends as a getaway from the hustle and bustle of Northern Virginia. We didn't have TV. We didn't have phones. It was more like camping really.
In the year 2000 my parents moved to the lake full time and did a major renovation. They quite literally built out in all four directions - towards the water, towards the street and on both sides. The result is an unbelievably spacious, unique home, ideal for multi-family vacations. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms upstairs. Huge great room and kitchen with eat-in dining room connecting the two, overlooking the water. Basement with a queen bedroom, a bunk room, a full bathroom and a kitchenette. Massive deck that overlooks the water with ample space to spread out. And a game room and kids hang-out room.
My father - Bernie - passed on Pearl Harbor Day in Dec 2017, which is very symbolic to us, as he had a 32 year career with the navy and our parents met in Hawaii in 1967. In 2020 we decided to turn our home into a place that we could share with others. So we did another major renovation and had our first guests in July of 2020 - during a pandemic, of course. But the response has been overwhelming. Everyone just loves the home, the space, the views and the amenities. We welcome you to go to Facebook and search for Weekend at Bernies, Lake Anna. You will see more pictures and reviews there as well.
We work very hard to make your stay enjoyable and relaxing. We are always seeking feedback and want to provide the best possible experience. When you're on vacation, you don't want to have to worry about anything related to the home or the amenities. So we go out of our way to make sure the home is clean, organized, well equipped and stocked with well maintained, nice amenities.
We wish you the best as you look for your next vacation spot.

Why they chose this property

The house is spacious. Perfect for multi-family/multi-generational vacations.
The location is AMAZING! Walking distance from one of the best restaurants in town.
Seconds to the nearest gas station - by boat or car.
You have over 200' of waterfront property with two docks, one with a pavilion and fire ring right on the point.
Deck with seating for 14. Game room. Quiet areas.
Beautiful views of the sunset - right off the deck over the water.

What makes this property unique

We believe you will not find a better multi-family/multi-generational home than ours. With the kitchenette in the basement, with refrigerator, sink, microwave and coffee maker, it's almost like having your own apartment. There's plenty of room to be all together. And there are plenty of spots to have your own privacy.
