Great Girls Weekend Getaway

We enjoyed Michelle's property so much! It was the perfect amount of space, kitchen was well stocked and the outside amenities were spot on! Just what we were looking for. Michelle was super responsive with any questions and had local recommendations for horseback riding we all enjoyed. Very relaxing stay, would highly recommend.

Thanksgiving Trip

The property was fantastic and had everything we desired...large fire pit, wood burning fire places, large kitchen area and location to hiking/site seeing. The breweries in the area were great. We loved the lake views!

Peaceful getaway!

Absolutely one of the best place we’ve stayed! The lake was stunningly beautiful, and almost all the rooms have a great view of the lake! We couldn’t have asked for a better way to ring in the new year!

Excellent Lake House

The house is wonderful - exactly as pictured. Perfect layout for family fun. Very clean. The kids play area in the rec room, complete with toys and lots of hot wheels was a huge hit as was the playground. Information packet was well written and organized. Quite and very picturesque area.

Lake Getaway

This rental proved to be an absolutely fantastic experience for our group of several families with young children. The house itself was spacious, accommodating, and well-appointed. It provided ample room for our large group, allowing everyone to have their own space while also offering plenty of areas for us to come together and enjoy quality time.

Very nice!

It was ver nice but at the far end of the lake and low water levels . Also copperheads in the yard are a common occurrence. Just to be aware when walking with small children.

Excellent stay for a family of 15

We really enjoyed our stay. House was clean and as advertised. Fish were not biting much but still enjoyed the tranquility. Only only negative comment was the septic tank smell that competed with the enevings at the fire pit. It also would have been nice to rent the pontoon boat at the house since we were told that the home is on the private side of that lake and we could not rent a pontoon boat to bring to the house.

Beautiful home

The house and property (4 acres) are beautiful. Kitchen was well stocked and there was room for our family reunion if 14 adults and 4 under 4 little ones. Michelle was very responsive to our needs. Hot tub was not clean but she came over and took care of it herself. She also added Tiki Torch oil I would suggest you bring chairs as there is no deck furniture. The water is very shallow and warm at this part of the lake. Overall it was a great week in a beautiful lake house.

Great for a Family Reunion!

We came from Ohio, North Carolina, and California and were so thankful we had settled on this home at Lake Anna for our family reunion. Not only were the accommodations excellent, but its lake front location and easy travel to historic and other interesting sites in the region made it ideal for a get together. We liked the beach previously, but Lake Anna topped the beach!

Great Family Getaway

This house is very nice with a great layout for Families. Even with rain we found lots of things to do in the house. Linens and beds were great and comfortable. Outside grounds were very nice , it could have used more outside chairs and tables. Kitchen was well equipped and we made most dinners at home. Would recommend this lake front property for families.

Enjoyed!

As advertised everything we expected. Real nice home with privacy and hassle free communication and access. Ive stayed at other sites and needed to go to the local dump, having large trash cans on site was a real plus. I hope return.

Beautiful clean house.

We had great time. Beautiful weather. We are senior citizens, so we went out for our main meal. Everything was there that we needed. We really enjoyed looking out the big windows, and sitting on the screened in porch. Our group ranged in age from 63 to 83. The front steps are steep with no railing. You can enter from the back of the house, however there is no walkway, you have to walk on the grass. We made out okay though, our brother acted as our human railing. We really had a nice time.

We Loved This Home

We were a group of scrap-booking ladies that stayed 5 days in the home. We loved it. The home has everything you will need for your stay. It is a very clean and comfortable home. We loved the screened in porch with the fireplace. Lovely for our fall visit. The location is private and the long gravel driveway adds to the atmosphere. We had a small issue with one toilet and the owner was extremely quick to respond. We hope to be going back next year!

Beautiful setting and lovely house.

We were in the area for a function and didn’t have enough time to enjoy the lake. We will definitely try to go back. The house is well maintained and is designed to comfortably handle a large family.

WOW ... Pictures do not do this property justice...

Beautiful home in a beautiful quiet part of the lake. The layout of the home is wonderful. Great for multi-generational vacations and several family sharing the house. Privacy if you want it and lost of open space to socialize and enjoy each others company. The dock is wonderful, water is a little shallow but it is in no wake so it's not bad at all. We had a great time on our boat and had one of the most relaxing vacations in years. Local restaurants on the water and by road within 3.5 miles to Tim's less than a ten minute boat ride to the cover. Up the road past time, you have a choice of sushi, Italian food, pizza, chinese food and BBQ about 8 to 10 miles max by road. Food lion is 8.5 miles away and is well stocked, ABC store in the same location as Food Lion. Just a great place.

Fabulous Experience At Lake Anna

My Family and I had an awesome experience staying in this home on Lake Anna. The home is beautiful and wonderfully decorated. Every amenity we needed was readily available. It was quiet and peaceful, and in my opinion, has the best view and access to the lake of all the homes in the area. My family and I had plenty of room to spread out and truely relax during our time in the house. I can't say enough about the enjoyment and met expectations felt by all of us. I highly recommend this for family getaways, and group retreats. I'm already planning a return visit.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Rader

Host profile image
We are a family of 7, with kids ranging from 19-31, and 4 grandchildren. Our children have grown up with the lake and they all look forward to our frequent visits. We are pleased to be able to share our home with other families, as it has provided many hours of joy and memories for our family.

Why they chose this property

We have been coming to Lake Anna since the early 1990s. The beauty and relaxed setting has provided many an escape from the faster pace of the DC area. This has always been our place to unwind.

What makes this property unique

The best thing about our house are the views of the lake and our location on a quiet end of the lake. There are many quiet fingers of the lake close by for uncrowded enjoyment and watersports.
