The good - The house is very comfortable, lots of big windows facing the lake, space for everyone to relax on both floors, many TV's, games for kids, kitchen had all the cookware one cold ask for, fridge and freezer were clean and spacious, comfy beds, beautiful view and quiet. The downstairs kitchen was great, having the laundry was also a plus. A/C on both levels meant perfect temps and it did get hot and humid while we were there. The dock is spacious, kayaks on-site. Note: there is one bath, hand and washcloth for each person. Bring extras and beach towels.
The not-so-good - the property management isn't up to the job. Upon arrival we noticed the lawn needed to be mowed, every toilet needed cleaning, there was dust on interior surfaces and huge cobwebs all over everything outdoors and dead bugs on top of the webs. It was clear no one had used the house for some time and IF it was checked by property service, they did nothing. LIght bulbs burned out. Many electrical items, including connection to TV antennas, had been unplugged. There only light in the kitchen area is a single, round ceiling fixture and small light over the sink. It was hard to see what was on the stove, or use any counter but the one on the island facing the dining room. With 11 people being fed 3 times a day it was really a BIG pain to cart things across the room to cook etc. Calling the property service we waited for return calls longer than we've had to with other rentals. They did send a lawn guy the next morning and someone finally came to clean the toilets (note, our kids were about to arrive and the cleaner just made it in time.) Also, no one had checked the dock as the wooden steps into the water from the lawn were coated with slim and two kids slipped. Luckily not hurt but check before use.
One lake note: if you look up Lake Anna you'll see it's beautiful. What is good to know: there is a cool side and a warm side to this lake as it cools the local reactor. The house is on the warm side, which was okay, it's clean BUT the water temp is like warm bath water. There is also an algae issue, which thankfully, we didn't encounter. Renter beware and check the local report if you're traveling in the summer.
There are a few nice eateries nearby and a good size grocery, liquor store a few miles away.
Overall we have a marvelous time, kids were happy as were adults. I'd recommend this location but suggest you ask if it's been recently cleaned. Kudos to the owner for the comfort
