A beautiful getaway!
This place was perfect for our vacation! We had more than enough room and plenty of things to do! Thank you for such a wonderful stay!
We stayed at this beautiful property on Lake Anna and had a wonderful experience overall. The views were absolutely incredible and made the stay feel special from the moment we arrived. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, and the kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed during our stay.One of the highlights for our family was the movie room—having candy and popcorn provided was such a fun and thoughtful touch, and the kids absolutely loved it.The only downside was that we visited in December and were really hoping to enjoy the hot tub, but it wouldn’t heat past 99 degrees, so it felt more like a warm bath than a true hot tub experience.Aside from that, this was a great property and we truly enjoyed our time there. We would definitely consider staying again, especially in warmer months.
The property was really comfortable and lovely. The view from the kitchen/living room/ dining area is great. It was very well equipped and stocked. We had a great time, even in cold weather.
We had an amazing stay at this property! The home was spotless, well-equipped, and exactly as described in the listing. The host was incredibly responsive and provided great local recommendations. The location was perfect—close to attractions but still quiet and relaxing. We especially loved the outdoor space and cozy decor. Highly recommend, and we would definitely stay here again!
This home is amazing. We had multiple generations from ages 1 to 75 and everyone had a great time. With the multiple living spaces and activities this home provided there was something for everyone to do. Best family vacation ever.
A fantastic and comfortable stay. We had an issue with the heat, but the property manager was communicative, responsive, and friendly, as was Jeremiah who fixed everything for us. Would absolutely return :)
House was perfect for our family reunion of 17. It was just as advertised. Lots of activities to keep the teenagers occupied. Loved the outdoor spaces. House was clean. Check in and check out was super easy. Had a few questions while we were there which were answered promptly.
Great house with plenty of parking. We had 7 pickup trucks. Great communication with the management team. Great location. The boat ramp is a little challenging.

This beautiful vacation house has absolutely everything! From the cozy warm beds, to the refreshing lake in the backyard. 😊
The house was big enough to host our party of 20!
You don’t need to bring anything!
The kitchen, game room, movie Theater room, and kids play room are well equipped.
We loved it so much , we plan to make this an annual Visit.
This is very beautiful house and it has everything you need for your entertainment and comfort. It was very clean and well maintained house. The hosts really cares for their guests. The host was very easy to communicate and always got response back in few minuets. If we going to take a vacation in feature we are definitely booking this house for sure.
Planned a retreat for my team, and this place did not disappoint! Plenty of space to work and relax, it also provided enough rooms and bathrooms for everyone to have their own private space.
Plenty of games and activities right on property. All the necessities are provided. Just book and relax!
We will be back for sure! The place was awesome and the host was incredible to work with.
Highly recommend.
The home is simply stunning with the most amazing views. The layout is very spacious with multiple suites and even two apartment style rooms w/kitchenettes to allow for maximum privacy. We visited in November and it was beautiful. I can only imagine how wonderful a visit in the warmer months would be with the lake and outdoor activities. The hosts really thought of everything providing many amenities in the kitchen and pantry. I highly recommend this home.
We rented this beautiful lake house for a weekend family retreat to celebrate our matriarch’s 75th birthday, and it was an unforgettable experience! The house was exactly as listed, with stunning views of the lake and plenty of cozy spaces for the family to gather. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy for us to prepare meals together, and the spacious living areas provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration. We enjoyed evenings by the fire pit, sharing stories and laughter under the stars. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and responsive, ensuring our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Highly recommend this lovely retreat for anyone looking to create special memories with loved ones!
We have stayed at many homes around Lake Anna and this home, by far, exceeded our expectations. We always require 8+ bedrooms and this is the BEST home layout we have ever experienced! Untouchable!
The kitchen and living space are center stage with the most incredible views of the lake. The home is at the tip of a point, so you get the views of the entire lake with a beautiful beach!
We stayed in January and with the expansive parking, drive around and various entry doors it was so easy to arrive! Communication with the host was superb. Informational notes around the home gave clear direction and the amenities in the kitchen, bedrooms and each bathroom were great!
We loved the bedroom touch with the towels on each bed as well! Fireplaces were fun, warm and made the stay! The movie room was super fun and games downstairs made it a ton of fun for everyone.
If you get a chance to stay here, do not pass it up! Can't wait for us to return in the future and stay longer......
Thank you so much for a beautiful experience!
We travelled to see family for Easter in the DC area and rounded out our trip at ‘A World Away’. Our teenagers were thoroughly entertained. We enjoyed the serenity and beautiful finishes of the home. You can be as busy or lazy as you like at this home. We will definitely be back.
