Had a great stay for New Years! Beautiful property right on a point looking over the lake. Lots of room, the seperate cottage was a big plus and the game room was nice for kids. We enjoyed sitting around the firepit with a beautiful view of the lake and fishing off the dock. Nice place for a big family!

We're happy you had a good time. come back and see us again!
We had a blast with our family of adults. Comfortable sleeping arrangements for everyone. The view was amazing. Swimming off the dock was great. The owner was very responsive to our texts. Quiet location. Our only issue was that there were ants in the kitchen. Owner committed to having it treated after our visit. There were cobwebs in areas as well. It is in a rural setting, so some bugs are to be expected.
The house and location was beautiful and well maintained. The children had an amazing time and so did the adults. The main house was clean and comfortable. Neil was very responsive to messages and very helpful. Well definitely be staying here again! The guest house was not maintained as well as the main house and needed a bit of time to air out but it was a cozy place to stay. Also worth noting is that the boat house doors don't latch or lock so keep that in mind when traveling with little ones! All in all it was a wonderful trip

Megan, we're so glad that your family had a great time! Our cleaning crew told us that they found a clean property when they arrived. Thank you for that!
Also, we took your advice regarding the ability to close & latch doors at the boat house., to ensure the safety of little ones. We have installed a new gate, a new screen door and have fixed the double doors going to the boat lift area.
We have also asked that our contractor take a look at some improvements that can be made to the guest house....specifically having the climate control system running before our guests arrive.
Thanks again!
Large property which gives a space for everyone. This is the time of the year where there were a lot of ants, so we had to be very careful to not leave any food out and about, especially in the kitchen. There were ant traps available but a good exterminator would take care of the issue. Over all we had a good time and would come back again if available.
Beautiful setting on the lake with privacy but still great views of the lake, deep water at the dock, and great amenities! Lots of room for our 2 families to spread out. Well stocked kitchen. Plenty of outdoor options to hang out. LOVED the firepit area. Lots of shade, including screen porch and screened boathouse. Porch and boathouse could use a deep cleaning but otherwise the place was lovely! Also appreciated the canoe and paddle boards which we used often. Neil was such a great host and very responsive. I would definitely recommend!
This is a lovely house with lots of space. The guest house is a nice additional sleeping space when you have lots of adult children. The main house is large, comfy with all the things you could need. The owner is friendly and responsive. The screened boat house was very popular with its own refigerator. The whole place is very picturesque. One thing that was different than the description is the bunk room which has 3 double beds instead of bunks and worked very nicely for our family. Much more comfortable.
Could not be more pleased with this house. It pretty much has everything you would want. Gentle sloping hill down to a screened in dock as well as boat lift. Also plenty of room for everyone to stretch out inside the house with multiple areas for the kids to gather. also has multiple fridges throughout the house and has shade in the summer to keep the house cool. Just the perfect setting for a family vacation The water is deep off the dock which is another bonus and is well located You are minutes from two of the best restaurants on the lake as well as only 10 minutes from the grocery store. Not sure what else you could ask for. Owners are fantastic and super friendly. We will be back.
Hickory Cut was a great place for our family reunion with sixteen guests from age 2 to 63! The house was large enough with adequate gathering and sleeping arrangements. The bathrooms were good to very good. We appreciated the toiletries. The kitchen was large but needs updates of knives and cookware. We sure enjoyed the beach, canoe, boat house, patio, and fire pit areas. The cons were sketchy internet service, spider webs outside and in the sun room, wasps, and poison ivy. The owners were quick to respond and repair a leaking faucet, answer our questions and concerns and provide local information. It was a blessing to have our whole family together for a week at Lake Anna.

This property is a very nice property except for the bad mold issue. A few people in our group got sick due to the very strong mold presence in the house. Tried notifying the owner a few times about the issue with no luck

UPDATE (3/4): Although we have never had
a complaint about a musty smell or physical mold at the property, we take your comments very seriously..
We therefore had a professional mold survey of our property conducted. The samples were sent to a lab.
The lab results were: No significant findings of airborne mold and no significant finding of mold in the
HVAC/circulation system. We were advised that considering the test results, it’s extremely unlikely that
any sickness would have resulted from the presence of mold in our house. Perhaps they were sick before
they arrived, or their sickness was from conditions unrelated to our property?
Regarding your claim that you tried notifying me a few times with no luck, I’m sorry that you were unable
to reach me. When I saw your comment, I immediately checked my email, phone voicemail, text
messages and VRBO inbox, and there were no communications from you.
(2/5) James, I'm sorry to hear about this. We have never had anyone mention mold and we've never seen any sign of it. I don't see any messages from you about it either in my personal email, the VRBO messaging or my phone. Odd.
Great Lake house with a real nice boat house. Guest cottage was a little musty. Nothing that made it uncomfortable to stay in. Worked great for our stay with family getting married next door at Nirvana. Neil was quick to respond with any questions or issues we had.
This house has an amazing view and a beautiful small sandy beach and an floating platform for kinds to spend hours in the water.
The canoe and paddle boards where great things to have.
The fire pot was a great addition.
Definitely a place to spend some time with family and friends during the summer.
Owner very quick to respond and easy check in. House had everything we needed and then some. We had 12 people and plenty of space . Boat house and lake area was wonderful for swimming, fishing or lounging. Definitely would want to stay here on our next visit.
We had a great stay at this property. Perfect location and wonderful house. Lots of spaces for groups to spread out. I highly recommend it
