Absolutely the best. Great value. Well worth the money and surprised of price compared to other properties in the same range. The view, privacy, and size of home was comfortable. My 10month had a great time crawling playing around the great room. The boat house and deck were perfect for fishing and paddle board. The lawn was perfect for playing catch for my two baseball playing sons. I appreciate the landscaping as I have a green thumb. We will stay at this house for future Lake Anna visits. Cheers to our hosts. Thanks again!

Love the property, we stayed in this same home the year before as well. Great dock and small gravel beach right on the lake and close to a restaurant and bait shop. The fire pit at night is a great place to sit and talk the night away. The home has a great dowstairs game room and is very comfortable. Visited in the fall both times, quiet and beautiful setting during this time of year.

There was plenty of space to spread out and feel very comfortable. The owners responded to our questions respectfully and promptly, we felt like we were communicating with friends. We will definitely be staying here again in the future.

There aren't enough words to describe how incredible this home is. Absolutely love the location. The house smells so clean and fresh the minute you walk through the door. The views of the lake are fantastic. We loved the open concept of the home. The hosts think of everything to make your stay as carefree and accommodating as possible. Our family thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and utilized all the outdoor spaces to relax and enjoy our time together. It could not have been more perfect. Thank you so much for all the extra care and thought put into to making your home so accommodating for others to come and enjoy. We most definitely want to stay there again.

Very nice.Peaceful and serene. Property could have been cleaner.Probably end of season wear and tear.Some things needed repair such as bannister to downstairs and screen door to the deck.Broken and off track. some of the outdoor steps are way to high and concrete color makes it hard to see especially for older people. But overall a great place to gather.

About the host

Hosted by Bud & Cathy

Host profile image
We had been coming to the lake primarily to waterski for 30+ years. Always dreamed of having our own place and finally made the decision after looking at more homes than you can imagine to find just the right one. We live permanently in Northern VA and plan to make it down to the lake as often as possible, regardless of the season.

Why they chose this property

We have 7 children now from High School to early 30's, so we needed a property that would hold our family of 9 (at times to include the Grandparents) and entertain all ages, young and old. And that is what we found!

What makes this property unique

We really enjoy the expansive deck, screen porch, large yard to play in, natural beach with gradual fall off which is wonderful for little ones and old ones alike. Our new boathouse is over the top with Gazebo, overhead fan, lounge furniture, large sun deck, bar room with fridge, microwave and hotdog maker! We offer 'whip' boat docking system for guests. Our dead-end street with cul-de-sac is great for the younger ones to bike or skate. Especially appealing is the ability to take a stroll to The Cove Restaurant, ice cream shop or convenience market in 10 minutes.
