Amazing waterfront home

Outstanding home, clean, neat, modern, comfortable, with excellent layout. Enjoyed the large overwater dock with great outdoor furniture. My wife and I enjoyed tremendously and plan to bring the family back to rent here in the future.

Peaceful stay!!

This home was perfect and clean and has a grand boathouse! The two bedrooms on the main floor (both w full baths) plus a half bath on the main floor and two more bedrooms on the lower level with one full bath make it simple for couples/families to have seperation and/or togetherness - sitting on the deck in the sun was the best!! (And the owners were so very kind to work with!)

Great Stay

Beautiful home right on the lake. Backyard had a first class dock and a small beach. The great room upstairs was a perfect place to meet with family and play games or watch a game on tv. The neighborhood is quiet and very close to a boat launch. Very nice vacation home!

A Very Relaxing Stay

We're repeat renters of this property; we didn't even look elsewhere. The property is superbly equipped and has relaxing spaces inside and out. Two separate decks are very well equipped, and the covered dock is a GREAT space to linger. The boat noise is much less than at other places we've rented. The listing details and pictures are very accurate and complete. The house was clean and well cared-for. We contacted Bud and Cathy a couple of time (NOT for problems), and they responded in minutes. We would choose this house again. We think you'd enjoy it too.

Great get away

The big hit was the boat house. Open for business hot dog stand. Nice having a snack bar by the water. Kids kept finding clams. We threw them back. Kids did not want to leave. Down stairs was their favorite part of the house.

A great house on the lake

We spent a week (monday-friday) here, my husband and I and our 4 teenage kids, and it was wonderful! The best lake house any of us have stayed in. The pictures and descriptions are accurate, the boathouse was a lovely retreat from the sun down at the dock, and the entry into the water right from the yard was fantastic. Bud and Cathy were great hosts, answered my questions right away! The only issue we had, which was totally my fault, is that there was no cell service when we arrived, and I couldn't access the info on my phone with the door code and wifi password - so just a warning to save that info before you go! We hope to be back next summer!

Amazing property! One suggestion..

The house and property were really nice. The only thing our group noted that could be improved is the walkway down to the docks. There are some stone steps but not a continuous walkway so you have to walk in the possibly wet grass at times.

Spring Break 2024

Loved the house, dock, and beach. We had a great time and will definitely be back. The house has a ton of room and the basement is set up perfectly for the kids to play and hangout when we're not on the water. Beautiful dock that we tied our boat up to after a quick jaunt over from launching at Hunter's Landing.

Awesome weekend!!

We truly loved the property and your prompt communication!!! Online it states there was a hot tub which there was not one when we arrived! The fire place did not work which was disappointing Becuase we hoped to have a cozy evening in front of the fire place!! Overall the vacation was amazing!! We would come again!!

Quick getaway

The best part of the place is the backyard. It is gorgeous and easier to go down and up. The house is comfortable to move around and we enjoyed our stay. The host was wonderful to communicate with. The view toward Lake Anna is gorgeous from the house.

About the host

Hosted by Bud & Cathy

Host profile image
We had been coming to the lake primarily to waterski for 30+ years. Always dreamed of having our own place and finally made the decision after looking at more homes than you can imagine to find just the right one. We live permanently in Northern VA and plan to make it down to the lake as often as possible, regardless of the season.

Why they chose this property

We have 7 children now from High School to early 30's, so we needed a property that would hold our family of 9 (at times to include the Grandparents) and entertain all ages, young and old. And that is what we found!

What makes this property unique

We really enjoy the expansive deck, screen porch, large yard to play in, natural beach with gradual fall off which is wonderful for little ones and old ones alike. Our new boathouse is over the top with Gazebo, overhead fan, lounge furniture, large sun deck, bar room with fridge, microwave and hotdog maker! We offer 'whip' boat docking system for guests. Our dead-end street with cul-de-sac is great for the younger ones to bike or skate. Especially appealing is the ability to take a stroll to The Cove Restaurant, ice cream shop or convenience market in 10 minutes.
