Weekend getaway
Our friends have been getting away once a year for the past 20 years and your home provided us with a relaxing and cozy home on the lake with beautiful views. There were some minor issues with breakers needing to be reset several times (primarily for the kitchen) and the breakers in the breaker box (behind the downstairs refrigerator) were not labeled. The ping pong paddles need replacing as well as light bulbs in the kitchen and bedrooms. The toilet paper holder in the upstairs bathroom is also in repair. We let the property manager know who quickly responded. The kitchen is in need of hand towels and pot holders. Plenty of plates, bowls, etc. None of these needs negatively impacted our stay. Overall, a very lovely home on the lake and we would definitely want to come back again in the future.

Great location and perfect stay
We loved staying here. Great location and even though deck has issues they are working to address, it never stopped us from having a good time. We rented a boat for the week from Shipwreck rentals which was very close and just spent the perfect week with the whole family relaxing, swimming off the dock and off the boat, and enjoying the quiet through the week.

Nice location
Located on the quiet side of the lake which was nice. The property is a little dated, with some parts needing some work - bathrooms, drawers, dock. But overall we had a very pleasant experience - would highly recommend for the size, location, and ability to comfortably accommodate two families.

Lake Trip
Great location and I am sure hosts! Thx. Small ants in the kitchen and large carpenter ants in upstairs bathroom and bedroom/bed. Hairs on sheets under covers in lower bunk room. Cobwebs inside and out on decks and porches. Biggest issue is safety for kids and pets. Inside upper floor stair rails too wide. Even worse the upper deck rails are too wide. Neither would pass code today. This is really an issue that should be addressed unless restricting property to adults and no young children or pets. Minor, checking out instructions in house say leave linens and online they say try to start a load of laundry (which we have never heard of on a rental property). Great trip overall, comments are for improvement for future guests.

Lake house
Great location and living areas are great for group. Deck needs significant repair since a column has sunk. Outdoor furniture could be replaced and kitchen could use more utensils. Had to buy plastic spatula while we were there. Would def stay again but updates could make this place special.

Great Work Hub
Working at the local nuclear plant with a crew. Way closer, more comfortable, than a hotel.

Lake Vaca
The view of the lake, swimming, fishing, house location was fabulous!! Use of the paddleboards and canoe were a huge plus. Lots of space to enjoy the view and loved playing horseshoes and had a fire going, which was wonderful. We did have a really good time, however there is definitely some attention needed at the property. There are a LOT of bugs both inside and immediately outside/screened porch (hole in screen and door doesn't stay closed) so pointless. We had an ant problem in the kitchen on counters and in a bathroom upstairs. Lots of large spiders in the house and cobwebs everywhere inside too. Some large dead bugs found in different bedrooms (not fun with small kids). Totally realize this is a house on a lake, but there hasn't been any cleaning or extermination done in a very long time. There needs to be a larger hot water tank- not enough for a large group to all quickly shower at all. The lights on the path from the house in front and back don't work and we couldn't use the large TV in the basement or in the bedrooms as no remotes. The fridge advertised in the storage room doesn't work and the lighting went out in the storage room and property management was contacted but never showed up to fix it...so couldn't really see to do laundry. The water needs treated to avoid staining and taste is not good so we had to purchase water for everything including coffee and the dogs. There are several outlets that don't work and lamps that don't work either or the ceiling fan/light in the living room. Things are dated- especially the carpeting.

Great Views on Lake Anna @ Life is Good
We had a great stay. Overall, great views and we enjoyed our stay. Having said that the house if showing some age. The property had an odor to the water and in the pipes. The water even stained the white towels. Might be the iron in the water or a septic tank issue. The hot water heater is small for 7 people and property can sleep up to 10. Camp showers and spacing out showers made it work. We were said to see the 2-person kayak had water in the air bladders when we arrived so we could not use it, but the floats and the dock were great.
