Relaxing Getaway

We have been going to Lake Anna the past 3 years for New Year's and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Weekend at Bernie's. There was enough space for our two families and plenty of room for everyone to play or relax. The home is clean and the outdoor space is also lovely. We hope to be back soon!

Awesome place in a beautiful location

A group of us who all went to grad school together stayed here and it was just perfect! The house has everything you could possibly need when it comes to cooking/eating/drinking. It is extremely spacious and well-kept. Our host Chris was extremely helpful, kind and very easy to communicate with. I would absolutely recommend staying here if you are looking into something in the area.

Perfect family getaway

We were amazed by this spacious home. The owner was very friendly and informative, answering all questions about the property and area. We enjoyed coffee on the deck every morning overlooking Lake Anna, boating, swimming and plenty dining nearby. So many beautiful memories made.

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 weekend on the lake

Location on the lake is ideal. My family had a blast Swimming and fishing off the dock. There's a separate boat slip if you rent a boat. House had everything you need and plenty of space. And the host is friendly and responsive.

Family Engagement Celebration

We all had a great weekend staying at this very, very nice property! It was so clean and organized when we arrived. It was much more spacious than we were expecting - both inside and out! All the rooms were very large and nicely furnished, plus lots of good quality towels and sheets! The host has been so responsive and helpful. We can highly recommend this property.

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!

The place was a dream come true. Everything was a perfect fit for my family. Everyone that came out to the house. Truly enjoyed every aspect of the property. I couldn't check in early. But Chris gave me a late check out. That really was a plus. Thanks Again Chris

Lake Life

Really enjoyable weekend at Lake Anna. The house has a spectacular view and direct access to the lake. We had friends in from California, NYC, D.C. and Charlotte to celebrate an upcoming wedding. Interior is spacious and simple, great for a larger group. Chris was responsive to inquiries. We even got to hear live music from across the lake. A successful trip.

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.

Celebrating 75

We had a wonderful three days celebrating mom’s 75th birthday. The lake house was a great place for our family to gather. We loved the property, especially the large open area with the gorgeous view of the lake. The game room was an added bonus. We also enjoyed the dock and the covered seating area. This lake house worked out really well for our family!

Another idyllic year on the water.

We look forward to our visit to Chris's place every year. Even when the weather is a little questionable, as it was this year, it is the perfect place to relax and take in gorgeous lake views. When the weather cooperates, it's the perfect place to collapse and rest after a full day on the water. We've already booked our get away for next year!

Perfect Weekend Getaway

This house is incredible, and it was a perfect getaway for our group of girlfriends. There was more than enough space for the nine of us, especially welcomed was the beautiful patio for dinner outside/sunset views and the spacious kitchen. Our host was incredibly helpful even running over an extra wine opener. Huge perks were the dock for our boat. We left and were already planning our return to this house next year!

Beautiful home for an exceptional getaway at the lake!

Not only is this home located on a fantastic lot with immediate access to the lake, but also it is well worth the experience to book with this owner. Every small detail is well planned for a stress-free stay, and Chris was perfectly accommodating in every way! Communication was fantastic, everything was cleaned and all instructions very easy to follow for easy check-in and check-out. Highly recommend!

Great Location! Wonderful House!

This was even better than described. This home has been completely remodeled, I think a full gut and rebuild, with a new layout. They did a fabulous job. It is in great shape and was done right. . Right on the water, with a gentle slope down to the two docks. We tied up our pontoon boat at one, and the grandkids swam and fished from the other. Nice open main floor design with a big deck overlooking the lake. Well equipped kitchen. Good internet and TVs. I think there were 5 TVs in the house. The master bedroom is huge with a comfy king bed and a lovely bath. Christopher was easy to contact, very responsive to my questions. About 10 minutes to the food lion. We definitely plan to stay here again.

Wedding weekend

My brother got married on the lake at another house so there was a blend of families staying together at this house. It was perfect for our needs. Plenty of space. Everyone had their own room & bathroom. Kitchen & living areas were spacious enough for us to hang out. Kitchen was very well equipped. House was super clean!! Owners are amazing communicators & very kind. The deck & view are just gorgeous! We had amazing weather & enjoyed being outside. Can't recommend this propery highly enough.

Spring Break

What a great property. Beautiful view of the lake from the deck and plenty of fishing for the grand kids. The house had everything and was very spacious. Definitely a 5-star property. And the owners were great. They were very attentive to all our needs and truly wanted us to have a great time. And we did. Thanks so much.

About the host

Hosted by Chris White

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.
