About this property
Wine Down: Your Southern-Style Waterfront Getaway on Lake Anna's Private Side
Escape from your day-to-day at Wine Down - your private-side waterfront Lake Anna, Virginia, retreat on over 9 acres. The custom-built home - completed in late 2017 - evokes Southern charm and hospitality, and it features water views from nearly every bedroom in the home. With two master suites (one upstairs and one on the lower-level), a kids' bunk room, two additional bedrooms, and an oversized playroom/guest room, Wine Down is the perfect vacation rental home for groups and families.
Entering the home, you're welcomed into a spacious great room with breathtaking lake views. Two oversized couches easily seat a dozen guests, who can enjoy conversation with the cooks in the nearby gourmet kitchen or watch a movie on the 70" television. The open great room flows into the dining area, which accommodates a party of 12 comfortably, and the peninsula kitchen with its nearly 13' island and bar. Chefs will enjoy the Samsung double flex oven, KitchenAid five-burner induction cooktop and Sharp microwave drawer. Two full-sized refrigerators, including a deluxe Samsung in the kitchen, a beverage center and industrial icemaker make it easy to store drinks and food for large parties, and two sinks and two dishwashers make for easy clean-up.
Stepping beyond the great room and outside, you'll enjoy an over 1,500 square foot travertine patio, with spectacular lake views at any time of the day. An 8' by 16' swim spa is off the patio, overlooking Wine Down's private dock and private white-sand beach. Take a dip in the swim spa or jump in the lake - both are just feet from the home and a delight for all guests to enjoy. Renters also can enjoy the home's two stand-up paddleboards and canoe. Wine Down's expansive patio is also great for sunrise yoga or sunset yoga (or a yoga retreat) - just bring your own mat and the views will serve as inspiration for your workout.
Bringing your own boat, jet skis or other water toys to the lake? Wine Down has a private boat launch and you can tie up your boat and/or jet skis off the property's dock right in front of the home. Maybe you'd rather spend your day just fishing off the dock? Wine Down's private cove is the place for it - it's been ranked as a top fishing spot on a local fishing app.
Want to escape from reality even more? Venture past Wine Down's impressive home, dock and sandy beach and onto the private peninsula. Accessible only to renters at Wine Down, the peninsula is a quiet, wooded retreat, perfect for weekend camping (or even a kids' camp-out for a night). Stone trails lead to the best camp sites and are great for daytime (or evening) walks.
After a day of fun on Lake Anna's private side, you can shower off in the outdoor enclosed shower with hot and cold water or head inside to one of Wine Down's five-and-one-half bathrooms. Downstairs, the master bedroom suite features an impressive bathroom with a two-person shower, freestanding soaking tub and double vanity. French doors from the bedroom lead onto the patio, where you can enjoy a morning coffee or evening glass of wine. On the other side of the first floor are two additional bedrooms with a shared jack-and-jill bathroom.
On the second level, you'll find another impressive patio, with comfortable Ohana wicker furniture, a dining table and more. A smaller family room with pullout sofa bed and 55" LED television offers a quiet escape for guests. The second floor also houses the bunk room, with two double-over-double bunk beds and an ensuite bathroom with a shower/tub combo. The second-level master suite faces the lake, with stunning views to wake you up in the morning. It features a spa-like bathroom with freestanding tub, two-person shower and double vanity.
The third-level offers even more space for guests at Wine Down. A guest room, with queen bed and en suite bath with a shower, provide added sleeping space. The third floor also features two additional queen beds for those late afternoon naps, a 4K gaming station for kids and adults alike with two Xbox One consoles and two PlayStation 4 consoles, multiple televisions (a 55" and two 42" sets) and an oversized leather couch perfect for lounging the day away.

We had a gathering for our friends and it was a beautiful time!! The property is stunning and the rooms are spacious and we’re just what we needed. Kitchen was well stocked with plates and silverware for our larger group!
Susan was wonderful and responsive. The privacy at the property is exactly what we were looking for in a home away from home. The kitchen and outdoor area were super fun for cooking and enjoying time with extended family. We would love to go back again!
I was greeted at the house by Susan, and she walked me through everything I needed to know. When I drove up, the view took my breath away. We hosted a family reunion and the kitchen was perfect for cooking for a crowd. The swim spa was such a treat. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were huge! This is a special place.
After the loss of my Mother it’s been hard to “have fun” or enjoy things as we use to, we had some much needed family time what a beautiful place this was in every way. We slept, we cooked, we cried, we laughed, we swam we thoroughly enjoyed this property. Check in was easy and the Host was so very nice to me.
We will return in the spring !
Thank you for a very beautiful healing vacation from our family
Very impressed with the property, the lake and the boats. the manager of the property was very good also. loved the shadow sport boat , but disappointed there wasn't a marina on the lake, so had to use some old gas cans to get gas at the local gas station.
I can’t say enough about this gorgeous property! The pictures don’t do it justice. We had a wonderful weekend using the paddle boards, jacuzzi tub and bluetooth speaker system. The kitchen had everything you would need and more and the bedrooms were all extremely beautiful and comfortable with fully functional climate control (no hot upstairs rooms!). Plenty of parking and easy, no fuss check-out. Hope to be back again!
We could not have picked a better location. This Lake Anna property is really special and we were only disappointed that we had to leave. Everything was perfect and the nearby house manager was extremely attentive, responsive, and accommodating. The house is well-designed and the property is priceless. The sunsets are spectacular. We rented this property (and the property next door which Andy also owns) for a large family reunion. It felt like we had a private, massive compound all to ourselves. Our family can't wait to return!
Lovely place- view is incredible and we comfortably fit 4 families with grown kids (16 people) to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Not sure we could have slept 20 as listed- had to use air mattresses to supplement bed space with grown boys.
Video game systems weren’t functional - not a disaster aid course but a couple of the college kids in our group were disappointed.
There were 11 of us, loved the layout, and plenty of space for everyone. House had many up to date and convenient features. Enjoyed the use of paddle boards, kayak, and spa. Semi secluded so we didn’t feel like we were on top of the neighbors. Susan was there when we got there, she explained how to work a few items, which was very helpful. The only issue we had was on the 3rd floor, room was very warm even with the little window ac unit running. Family is already talking about coming next year.
We found this place after our previous wedding venue didn't work out. This location is exactly what we were looking for! Gorgeous views, large patio for dancing, very private. We prepared our own food, and a kitchen with two ovens and dishwashers were very appreciated. The A/C was broken and it was a particularly hot weekend. Aside from that, everything was perfect. Would have a wedding here again in a heartbeat, highly recommended!
We were shocked at how beautiful and huge this house was. The space of each floor, the rooms, living rooms, kitchen, patio, hot tub, the view, deck, etc really exceeded our expectations. The firepit was a hit, the hot tub was HOT and the sunset view was the best. If you have any hesitations about the space or accommodations, tuck it away and book this place!!! We had about 65 people who attended and everybody seemed to enjoy their time with us. We loved it. The host Andy and Manager, Susan, worked with us to make sure we were comfortable and answered all our questions. Our family and friends enjoyed our wedding day and were very impressed how beautiful this place was and beats the price, view and homey-ness of any venue.
We had four generations of Dalton women from MD
and VA. Ages 4-87! The absolute, best weekend ever! House is perfect and the kids loved the outdoor space. Paddle boats got a work out. Just wonderful Andy. Only suggestion is some outdoor solar lighting leading to firepit and below. Us old girls can’t see as well as we need to in the dark. Sunrise and sunsets were breath taking. Already planning our return next year for 2nd annual trip.
Our very large family group (we rented Wine Down, and also Wake and Lake next door) thoroughly enjoyed our week at Lake Anna. The property owner and managers are local, accessible, and responsive to every concern. Wine Down is located on a gorgeous, private cove. The beach and lake access were fantastic for the smaller kids, and we really loved renting the owners’s pontoon boat for the week - which was loved by the older kids, teens, and young adults. The house itself was very clean, well equipped, and in fantastic condition. The manager (Susan) goes far above and beyond to respond to any concerns - all issues noted in previous reviews have been addressed. It is clear that the management team wants to continually improve the guest experience here. Do not hesitate to rent - you will not be disappointed.
Our second time at Wine Down, and we loved it again - wonderful home & location, plenty big for all of us, lots of comfortable space inside & outside to hangout. We'd love to come back for a third time, it's been a great experience.
Truly one of the most beautiful lake front properties. The home is clean with everything you could need inside and out to enjoy lake life! The host and his team were great to work with. The home was clean with more than enough space for a large family vacation! From grandparents to teens and babies the home was perfect for all!
I rented this house for a work retreat, and it had everything we needed! Great space, location, lake activities, and the property was gorgeous! Will definitely be renting again next year!
We had such a wonderful stay at this lake house on Lake Anna! Andy (the owner) and Susan (the manager) were incredibly responsive and accommodating, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The house itself was clean, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The views of the lake were absolutely breathtaking—especially at sunrise and sunset. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be renting again in the future!
This was a great house for a family event. We loved everything about it. The pictures honestly don’t do it justice, it’s beautiful! Thank you for your communication and for accommodating us.
We LOVED our stay and everything about this house. The property was absolutely gorgeous. We had a small wedding on the property and it turned out more perfect than I could have imagined. The lighting and decor in the house was beautifully thought out. I would definitely recommend this house!!
