Thanks, Donnie! You were “perfect guests” according to everyone in our crew. You’re most certainly welcome back anytime! We look forward to seeing you again :)
My family and I truly enjoyed everything that Pigeon Cove had to offer. The house and property were immaculate, and the hosts were responsive with every question and request. LOTS of activities and fun toys (kayaks, paddle boats, hot tub) for all ages. If you're visiting Lake Anna, I highly recommend this location.

Thank you so much! You all were lovely guests and are certainly welcome back anytime! Take care.
Our stay at Pigeon Cove was wonderful! The house was stunning and clean, with views of the lake from every bedroom! Situated on a small cove just off the main lake and across the lake from the State Park afforded a peaceful quiet and beautiful views. The patio, fire pit, and hot tub were such a nice bonus! The house was minutes from a grocery store, restaurants, and breweries. The hosts were quick to answer my questions and helpful with any inquiry. I couldn’t have asked for anything more!

Thank you for your kind review! We enjoyed hosting you and would certainly love to have you back any time!
We had a good time! The property manager handled all of our small issues immediately!
The only major issue would be the need to dust and cleaning of insects and spider webs!
Location was perfect nicely hidden
We are looking to do this againb
This house is a gem. The owners clearly care about their guests. They have put a lot of effort into details to make their guests comfortable. We made use of the yoga mats, the kayaks, the paddle boat, the table tennis set up, everything. The house is really spacious and amazingly beautiful. The great big deck is awesome to spend time on. Owners were very responsive and accommodating. Can't say enough good things about this place, you'll be lucky if you get to stay here!

We were happy to host you, Daniel, and would love to have you back anytime. Thank you for your kind review and great experience. It is guests like you that make hosting a joy. We appreciate you! And so did our cleaning crew- they said you were "amazing!"
We stayed at Pigeon Cove Hideaway for an extended work retreat. Everyone had a great time. The house was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable. For those that didn’t want to face the 90 temperatures outside, there were inside activities from shuffleboard to a pool table/ping-pong table. The patio and house deck provided lots of space to relax and enjoy time outside. We would have loved to use the firepit and hot tub, but with the high temps outside, no one took advantage! The boathouse, dock, and sandy beach were stunning. The boathouse even had a bar area. Wow! Everyone enjoyed floating off the dock, sunning, or sitting under the upstairs covered section, relaxing and taking in the views. Don’t miss watching the sunset from the upper deck of the boathouse! It was a great retreat.

We’re so glad your retreat was a success! We put a lot of care into making sure every guest has a fun and unforgettable stay. Thank you for the kind words — we’re thrilled the brand-new boathouse was a highlight! Watching the sunset over the state park from the upper deck is one our favorite things to do too!
We had an exceptional stay at Pigeon Cove Hideaway. Some of the highlights we experienced:* The boathouse! Wow! What a view. This is truly the most unique feature of this VRBO. Our whole group spent our entire Sunday out there enjoying the view and the water access. The overhead fans add a comfortable breeze for lounging up on that superb second floor viewing deck. There are plenty of seating options at the boathouse including loungers, Adirondacks, a high top dining table for 8, and two fun wicker swing chairs. This VRBO provides kayaks, floater rafts, pool noodles, life preservers (for humans AND dogs!), and water toys for all to stay entertained. The first floor TV and bar are a nice touch, as is the separate WIFI out there to remain connected. * The fully fenced in side yard was spacious and our dogs loved running around to sniff the new space. What a relief it is to not have to leash up the dogs to take them out each time.* We set up a couple of (our own) additional camp chairs in the living room to accommodate more seating for our group. * Parking spaces were plentiful and we had no issues getting in and out. * The lake views all around the house were gorgeous* The host is easy to talk to and is quick to respond

Thank you so much for this amazing and detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear that Pigeon Cove Hideaway was such a hit with your group — especially the boathouse! It’s one of our favorite features too, and we’re so glad you made the most of the space, from the top-deck views to the water toys and bar setup. We love hearing that the fenced yard gave your pups the freedom to roam and that parking, lake views, and communication all met your expectations. Your thoughtful comments truly mean a lot and help future guests know what to look forward to. We’d love to host you again anytime!
We had a wonderful long weekend at this lakeside home. The setting is delightful and very peaceful - perfect for a family celebration. The home itself is quite nice - an upscale rental with all of the requisite amenities, including a well-stocked kitchen. On a final note, the owners were very responsive.

Thank you for your kind words, Larry! We’re so pleased to hear that you and your family had such an enjoyable weekend getaway. It means a lot to us. If you're ever planning another trip to the Lake Anna area, we’d love the opportunity to host you all again.
We loved this house. It's down a long road with trees and feels like you are transported to a lush forest.
The house is lovely. There are several places to hang out - kitchen/dining room, screen porch, wrap-around deck, area by firepit and jacuzzi - and of course, the boat dock!!
We spent hours on the dock - swimming, floating, boating.
The owners have graciously made available a two-person kayak, a paddle boat, and swim floats.
We brought our boat and tied up at the dock - very easy to launch at the nearby state park.
The house is better stocked than other houses we have stayed at - paper towels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, towels, condiments and snacks.
This place is definitely a winner!!

About the host
Hosted by Kim Rivers
Hi, we are Tony and Kim; parents to three fur babies (Sammy, Moo, and Hornet). Being raised in the lake life, it was always a dream to one day own our own waterfront property. After 13 years of successful hosting at Bryce Resort, Tony and I finally found the opportunity to make that dream come true. We love sharing our joy and passion for the outdoors, tranquility, and living life to the fullest with our guests- including your fur babies!
Why they chose this property
We were fortunate to find the PERFECT location on Lake Anna- a quiet cove perfect for swimming and fishing; 7 acres for privacy, nature, and exploration; super close proximity to many of the best restaurants and activities that Lake Anna has to offer; and unimpeded views of undisturbed Lake Anna State Park.
What makes this property unique
Pigeon Cove is unique in design. Its beauty inside and out immediately drew us in and we hope you feel the same. We also work very hard to provide amenities that we hope will help you and your loved ones create memories to cherish for years to come.
