The Henrico Hideaway: Firepit, Close to Everything

Hi, my name is Anna! I’m a former athletic director turned full-time short-term rental host and property manager. My journey into hospitality was an unexpected one, but it became a true passion. After witnessing my courageous sister’s battle with triple-negative breast cancer—a fight she faced with grace and strength until June 2024—I realized life is about taking chances and forming connections in ways you may not have thought of before. I made the decision to live without limits, honoring her legacy of humble hard work and kindness in everything I do.

Now, I take pride in creating warm, welcoming spaces for guests to enjoy, whether they’re here for adventure, relaxation, or a little bit of both. Hospitality isn’t just about providing a place to stay—it’s about making people feel at home. I’m always happy to share local recommendations, answer questions, and ensure you have a seamless experience. Looking forward to hosting you!
