This house was great. We spent a lot of time on the huge deck with the view of the lake - it was like being in a treehouse! The house was well equipped and had plenty of room for us.

We booked a last minute long weekend for Labor Day and had a great time. Home had all we needed to enjoy the water in the quiet cove. We cooked most of our meals and the kitchen was well equipped for the dishes/pots/pans we needed. The home was clean and tidy. Enjoyed our stay and it was close to food lion and a few restaurants.

My family and I were really looking forward to our long weekend and this home did not disappoint. We loved the property and the view is beautiful. The house is cozy and well stocked. Also, the Dockside Reality group made the process easy.

The house is really clean and makes it way to easy to stay inside. The lake access is very close. Private dock with paddle boards and kayaks to use. Will certainly be coming back
Well furnished and equipped house right on the lake. We rented a pontoon boat so we could more easily travel back and forth to another house that was rented by extended family. We'd rent it again.
Lovely waterfront home on public side of Lake Anna
The house was just as described and was very clean. The huge deck was awesome with great views of the water through the trees. The streaming service for the TV was spotty.

Great house with plenty of space. Very clean. Amazing back deck with views of Lake Anna. Fire pit was great on cold nights. Close to hiking, brewery, cidery, and grocery store. Wish we stayed longer but will definitely return.
Peaceful Perch was a beautiful home with awesome amenities. Getting in and out of the gated community with one key fob, but multiple guests / vehicles was the only challenge.
We were very pleased with the cleanliness and the comfort of the house. Right on the water but lots of steps, which was clearly stated in the listing. It was nice to have kayaks and paddleboard furnished. Our family had a great time on the water. We all enjoyed the fire pit in the front yard. Owners even furnished supplies to make S'mores.
The house is in a quiet, private location with a great layout inside. The dock is set in a cove so also very private. The house had everything we needed. Plenty to do both inside (pool and ping pong tables) and outside (kayaks, paddle boards, floats, fishing). Plenty of space on the deck for eating and lounging. We would definitely stay again.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we appreciate the feedback. We are happy to hear that you and your group had a wonderful time and hope to have you all back here at Lake Anna soon!
This home was the perfect retreat for our family of 6 adults. We spent the majority of our time simply hanging out on the dock enjoying the quiet cove. Plenty of floats, paddle boards, lounge chairs and the umbrella were welcome amenities. Shaded deck was perfect for morning coffee. We're all looking forward to returning for a longer stay next time.
“Peaceful perch” is a great actual description for the home itself. Great peaceful location with wonderful lake access. Lots of included amenities as advertised. The only thing that could have been better is Internet being slow and unreliable which you needed to cast to the tv to watch anything. I wasn’t there to watch tv so it wasn’t a big deal at all. We enjoyed the wonderful dock, pool/ping pong table, the awesome deck space great family room and dining room/kitchen to hang out in. I give it a 10/10 regardless of the internet issue. They graciously allowed our dogs to stay on property for a few which was also lovely.
We really enjoyed the property. We took advantage of the kayaks which was super fun. Nice extra touches in home like games and some extra paper products. Only negative was the water pressure in the shower which was awful, not sure if anything can be done about that. But would stay again. Thank you
We had a wonderful time with our 4 adult children! The house had everything we needed, including a Keurig & regular coffee pot, Saran Wrap, foil, assorted coffee & tea & an assortment of spices. We loved that the dock was in deep water & we could dive/jump off the dock. We appreciated being able to use the kayak & paddle boards. We loved that the dock was in a no wake zone too. We also loved that the neighborhood had its own boat dock that was free to use!
We really enjoyed the property, location was great, nice dock with kayaks and paddle boards. The house also has a great fire pit and nice deck. Dock side realty has 2 locations, who knew. I went to the wrong one and was fortunate someone was still there after hours to inform me where to go. Also, rules and regs would be better consolidated in one place and on one page. Would have been even better if the many cobwebs were removed and deck blown/swept prior to our arrival. Overall a nice location and property. Would definitely recommend.
