We hosted a 30 person wedding at this venue and stayed for 5 days/4 nights.
The Good:
The property is as beautiful as it looks; every piece of furniture is high quality and they keep up the place immaculately. It is huge and easily accommodates 26 people. There's so much room, so much kitchen space, so many beautiful bathrooms. The slide is a blast, the boathouse is perfect for entertaining, and the beach is a beautiful place to get married. We rented a boat for a few days and built campfires almost every night. We played Scrabble in the living room on the giant board, and hung out on the deck in the evenings. Perfection. The water was freakishly warm in late September also.
The Bad:
We almost didn't get to book this property due to difficulty communicating with the owner at the beginning. When I say it was bad, it was really bad. Ryan is the nicest guy in the world, when you can get in touch with him, but he is almost impossible to reach. We called before booking to discuss having a wedding on site, and he was great. After that, we couldn't get ahold of him to book despite countless calls, emails, and messages over a period of two weeks. Twice, our request to book expired with no response. We had pretty much given up and decided to book elsewhere when I finally called Ryan at his work, and he explained that he had his plate full with a lot of different things, and they were in the process of hiring a new manager for Lake Anna Oasis. He apologized for the hassle and genuinely did everything he could to make it right. Once they hired Teanna, things got a lot better. She was responsive to our questions and checked in with us throughout our stay. The phone number listed on their website or Google page, I would argue, is essentially useless. No one ever answered.
After a significant amount of consideration, I give this property five stars. I'm choosing to believe that the difficulty in communication was simply due to a transitional period in their management. Ryan obviously cares a lot about the property because he keeps it up so beautifully, and Teanna has done a great job for us. The place is spectacular, I can't say enough good things about it. The communication was our only issue. Aside from that, this place is five stars all the way and we would love to come back and stay here again.
