Still interested in Blue Skies at Lake Anna? This part of the narrative lets you know a bit about the on-line travel agency’s operations and my business practices. If Blue Skies at Lake Anna looks like a contender, read on.

Prior to booking, the on-line travel agency does not share your contact information with me which restricts us from communicating outside of their platform. After I accept your booking through this on-line travel agency, I will then be able to see your contact information, and I will reach out to you right away to be sure that Blue Skies at Lake Anna is a good fit for your party. Then, I will send you the Rental Agreement for your e-signature.

You’ll notice that Blue Skies at Lake Anna does not offer a discount for a week-long booking. Discounts cost you more because VRBO commission is charged on the pre-discounted price, so I’ve reduced the cost for mid-week dates, which gives you the same price for seven days as if I offered you a discount on the week. Winning!!!

Now, back to the lake: Lake Anna is the second largest lake located entirely in Virginia. It encompasses 250 miles of shoreline and 13,000 acres of water. The lake is 17 miles long and surrounded by farms and forest.

Lake Anna has 2 sections, the main or public side and the private side. The public section consists of 9,600 acres with marinas, restaurants and commercial business. The private side is divided by 3 rock dikes and consists of 3,400 acres. There are no public boat ramps, marinas or restaurants on the private side; only homes adorn the shoreline.

Blue Skies at Lake Anna is located mid-lake on the public side, close to restaurants, marinas, Lake Anna State Park and other attractions by either boat or car.

Attractions: Lake Anna is perfect for boating, jet-skiing, fishing and water activities, but there are many other activities to enjoy while visiting this area. Some attractions include hiking trails at Lake Anna State Park, wineries (Lake Anna Winery, Mattaponi Winery, Cooper Vineyards, Weston Farms and more), Kings Dominion Theme Park, Monticello (Thomas Jefferson's Home), Montpelier (James & Dolly Madison's Home), Civil War battlefields, Bluemont Concerts and Dances, Fridays After Five, the Mineral Bluegrass Festival, fine dining, shopping and more. Lake Anna is located close to Fredericksburg, Richmond and Charlottesville. Blue Skies at Lake Anna is owned by a local who can offer you suggestions to round out your vacation itinerary.

About the pricing: Service fee is a VRBO fee and cannot be adjusted by the Host. Host fee is cleaning and a single pet fee, if applicable. If more than one dog is approved, additional pet fee is required.

Thanksgiving on the Lake

We had a wonderful time celebrating Thanksgiving on the lake. We were provided a roasting pan for our turkey! How much more could you ask for? The view was incredible, and we enjoyed the deer, squirrels, and chipmunks.

Great Location - Best Vaca in a long time!

The private water access is the best I've seen at any house in Lake Anna. Great location to kayak. The dock was perfect for fishing and jumping off! The fishing was great too. Lots of catfish and sun perch. The house was just perfect. Spacious rooms and lots of places to get out of the heat. the yard was great for the pup to play frisbee and chase some wildlife. Highly recommend.

Clean home perfect for a large family

We had a great time inside and outside this home. The cove was quiet, the dock and the outdoor amenities including the kayaks, paddle boat, and fire pit were a plus. Inside the home was very clean, the kitchen was stocked with supplies needed for cooking all of our meals, and we loved having the pool table! I really appreciate being able to have all of our family dogs with us. We didn't need to use all the supplied linens, but having them available was a benefit. What we did use of the linens we appreciated the quality and the extra towels for the dogs as well! This home was far enough away for peace and quiet, but close enough to needed stores like the grocery store or convenience stores. Would definitely stay again if we return to Lake Anna.

Wonderful!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blue Skies. This is probably one of the cleanest houses we have ever rented through Homeaway. The location is on a quiet part of the lake and the dock was much larger than it appears in the pictures. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a great time. The house was tucked back in a cove so we could float around on tubes and not have to worry about anything. Nice flat walk from house to dock.

Blue Skies had everything we needed for a great stay. We loved taking the kayaks out on the lake and the fishing off the dock was great. The cove location was peaceful with a lovely wooded area across the cove, yet close to the larger lake area. When we were inside the house we had wonderful views of the lake. The dock lounge chairs were awesome for a relaxing afternoon reading on the dock or taking a nap. We also enjoyed campfires in the fire pit and playing pool on the very nice pool table. If we return to Lake Anna we would definitely stay again.

Lovely Lakefront Home with a Beautiful View

We enjoyed a family weekend at Blue Skies. The house was very clean and spacious to accommodate six adults and two dogs, and very comfortable. We enjoyed the pool table and the outside property amenities as well, which included a fire pit, dock, and paddle boat. The views of the lake were spectacular, and the location was convenient to Lake Anna Park and the winery. We were sad to leave!

Beautiful, Quiet Lakefront Property

This lakehouse is located on a quiet cove with nothing but woods to occupy your gaze as you sit on the spacious dock or relax by the firepit. The house was clean and nicely furnished with a large kitchen and comfortable beds. The 2 kayaks provided by the owner are a nice bonus for anyone who doesn't have their own watercraft to bring along. Highly recommend this house and property!

Nice getaway

Our stay was great. The house is positioned close to the lake. The beach area and slope into the lake was perfect for the dog and kids yo be able to splash around. One of the kayaks had a small crack and Kate quickly had a replacement there the same day. The neighborhood is very quiet and felt like we were the only ones there and had the cove to ourselves most days.
