Lake Front W Gazebo Boat Ramp Fiber Internet

HarleighRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The house was great for our group! The boat dock and chairs were great down by the water! The inside very spacious. House was clean, the grill up on the deck has rusted out and isn’t useable luckily there is one down by the dock, just plan for that cooking wise and you’ll be good! While we were very excited about kayaking, one of them has a patched whole in the bottom and one of group members sank which was unexpected but luckily we just left with a funny memory. Overall, the house is in a great location and a good space for a group of 8-10 adults. We will definitely come back!

The Escape Hatch: 500ft of Waterfront on Lake Anna

VirginiaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Our stay was absolutely wonderful—perfect for a girls' weekend getaway! The fire pit and dock created such a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. There were plenty of beds, extra blankets, and towels, which made the stay incredibly comfortable. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like the floaties, pool noodles, and life vests at the dock house. The kitchen was impressively organized with every drawer and cabinet labeled, and it was fully stocked with all the spices we could possibly need—cooking meals was a breeze. Everything about this stay was a 10/10. Highly recommend!

Wake at the Lake! Cozy 3BR/2.5BA w/Lake Access!

BeckyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We stayed here with our Grandson and met up with friends at Christopher Run. This house was the perfect location for us. The house was clean and was everything we needed. The kitchen is well stocked with just about anything you would need. The AC worked great after spending our hot days on Lake Anna and it was especially nice to have a washer and dryer. Cathi was very pleasant and fast responding to any questions. We certainly made some core memories with our Grandson and look forward to visiting again. Becky

Authentic 3 Bedroom Log Cabin, with Lake Access

Scott And SarahRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Oliver made it so easy to check in and out. The house was spotless and had everything we needed and more. We forgot a toothbrush and coffee pods and home had extra of both. There were plenty of towels and toilet paper and paper towels,etc. and the beds were so comfy. We put the two kayaks in the back of our CRV and just drove slowly the two blocks (at most) to the launch. Lovely area to kayak around. We went to King’s Dominion one day and then to Fredericksburg for a movie and pickleball (the Picklr was great) Otherwise stayed at the house and enjoyed the porch and basketball. The fire pit area was great but unfortunately we weren’t able to use it bc of evening showers. Although, those evening showers enabled us to hang out on the porch without bugs bothering us. Oliver was so receptive to any question we had and always responded quickly. It was the perfect place for 5 adults to come together for a mini family vacation and just relax.

Spacious 6-bedroom waterfront w/incredible views

SusanRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was our third year staying at Kevin’s Lake Anna home, and once again, it exceeded our expectations. Kevin is a fantastic host - communicative and always quick to address any questions or concerns. Our multi-generational family of ten adults (ranging from 21 to 84) had ample space to relax and connect. Between the two large living areas, the spacious back deck, the cozy fire pit by the water, and the dock with its shaded sitting area and boathouse, there was no shortage of places to unwind. Swimming directly from the dock was a highlight, and renting a boat for the day or week is an excellent way to explore the lake. One of the most memorable moments of our stay was hiring a local chef to prepare a delicious family dinner in the well-equipped and spacious kitchen. The home’s location on the public side of Lake Anna is incredibly peaceful and scenic, making it the perfect getaway. We highly recommend this property and can’t wait to return again next year!

Lakefront Eco Retreat | 5BR, Dock & Sunset Views

BrookeRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a lovely stay at this stunning house. The location on the water was beautiful, the weather didn't cooperate for us, we would have loved it even more if the weather was nice. Nevertheless the inside space was perfect for what we needed and for our whole wedding party to stay. The only thing that would have made it more perfect was to have an additional bathroom downstairs.

Lakefront Cabin; new boathouse w/ bar; pickleball

ScottRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Our stay at The Cozy Bear Cabin was so enjoyable and relaxing! Jessica was super friendly and responsive right from the start. The cabin was very cozy and comfy. It was quite charming, well stocked, and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed the scenery and the peacefulness of the lake and its surroundings. The weather was so nice that we had our meals at the table on the deck. Our family went canoeing for the first time and had a blast! It was really nice that there was a multitude of sizes of life jackets in the boathouse and a refrigerator in the Tiki bar/kitchenette. We loved sitting in the Adirondack Rockers while watching our kids use the paddle boards. A lot of fun memories were made and will be cherished forever. Thank you Jessica, for making our time at your lovely home such a memorable one!

Updated Cozy Cabin w/ 2 King Suites

ShelbyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We were in town for a local triathlon and stayed at Ali's house for the weekend -- it was spacious, clean, and well-furnished. The fire-pit outside was perfect for a relaxing evening. We also loved the personal touches like local recommendations and a card wishing us luck in the race and a wonderful weekend! We reached out several times through the weekend with questions and updates and Ali was extremely responsive. While cars do require parking passes, the instructions were very clear and the staff members at the gate were super welcoming and helpful in getting passes for everyone. Overall, we had a great time!

Waterfront Home on Lake Anna

HankRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Our group had a wonderful time staying at Natalie's home on Lake Anna! From the amenities to the cleanliness we we're blown away by the entire place! The entire house was incredibly clean upon arrival compared to other homes that I have experienced on Airbnb. Just about everything we needed was already waiting there for us to use. The in-home sound system was a bonus surprise that we made sure to take advantage of! Having access to the private boat ramp in the neighborhood and the large dock outback made it super easy for launching and using our boat for our stay! We received clear instructions from Natalie and the in-home instruction guide made everything easy to understand. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and the outdoor grill area as well. If you're looking for the best place to stay on the private side of Lake Anna this is the place to book!

I would definitely stay here again in the warmer months. The house was beautiful and the views were unmatched. We were a party of 10 and there was still so much more space and empty rooms.

The property is brilliantly located, right on the lake. The Dock House was a perfect place to hang out and read, fish, watch T.V. and socialize. We especially liked that the home had sleeping amenities on all three floors, and private bathrooms. The downstairs area provided a perfect space for the kids to play games, and bunk up in bunk bed room. Lastly, the appliances were top of the line, the stove, oven, washer/dryer etc..

Your guide to Lake Anna

Introduction

The clean, placid waters of Lake Anna draw visitors from Washington, D.C., and the Eastern Seaboard from spring until late fall. Nine thousand acres of this 17-mile-long reservoir, created by the North Anna Dam, are open to the public. Many people rent a boat to explore the lake’s secluded coves and fishing nooks, and families with children who love swimming will find a sandy, well-guarded beach in Lake Anna State Park. Fishing, sailing, and jet skiing may take up the bulk of your retreat, but you can also spend a day or two exploring picturesque towns like Fredericksburg, Bumpass, and Charlottesville, or the historical battlefields that surround the lake. Or your retreat may bring you to the wineries and craft cider makers who have found a home in Central Virginia.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lake Anna

From mid-May through the end of September, the temperatures rarely drop below 60 degrees Fahrenheit and often climb into the 90s, especially in July and August. Not surprisingly, these are the peak times for both tourism and lake activity. Don’t forget sunscreen if you’re on the water, but pack an umbrella and raincoat in case of summer downpours.

Autumn stretches from October through November, and if you’re staying in one of Lake Anna’s vacation rentals during this time, you’ll likely need a warm jacket. Winters here are not harsh, but the temperature often drops below freezing, so bring your snow gear. Spring starts in March, with the return of flowers and foliage and gently warming weather.


Top things to do in Lake Anna

Lake Anna State Park

Located on the north end of Lake Anna, this state park offers the area’s best beach, broad and sandy, as well as more than 15 miles of hiking and horse trails that skirt the lake’s ruffled shoreline or meander through the woodlands. Many of the trails, as well as the fishing pond, are wheelchair accessible.

Spotsylvania Battlefield

In May 1864, the Union and Confederate armies waged war for two weeks near the Spotsylvania Courthouse, located 18 miles northeast of Lake Anna, and tens of thousands of soldiers were killed or wounded here. The National Park Service has created self-guided walking and driving tours of this important battlefield as well as other nearby Civil War sites. You can also wander around the Spotsylvania Courthouse Historic District nearby to admire the centuries-old homes and public buildings.

Fishing

Fishing tournaments on Lake Anna start in the spring and go well into fall, thanks in part to water warmed by the power plant on the south shore. You’ll find a number of boat rental companies around the area, as well as chartered fishing boats. Most fishers are on the hunt for largemouth bass, crappie, and striped bass.
