What a fantastic stay at Lake Anna! Our rental was picture perfect, inside and out! We were fortunate to meet Gregg when he stopped by to make sure everything was ok. Our grandchildren, ages 1-11 were all entertained with the water equipment, toys, and games. They asked if we could come back soon! Hopefully we will!

“She’s a Brick Lake House” is located in an ideal setting. It’s quiet appeal is awesome. The house itself accommodated our large family and it’s ammenities are numerous. It was nice having 2 kitchens and bathrooms in four of the main bedrooms. Most of all, the house had the feel of home. It was clean and well stocked. We have no complaints at all and if there was any issue, Gregg and Kim were awesome Hosts. They provide you detailed lists and suggestions that you should fully take advantage of; it is a most helpful guide for your stay. Our family has already put in a request for next year.
This was a phenomenal vacation. When they say Family Perfect, it is indeed!

A beautiful house with everything you could want or need. The view was great whenever you at on the porch We loved the lake and all the lake toys especially the warm water due to the power plant. Also the lake is very clean
We hope to come back again to the same location

This is a beautiful property! The house is huge! It is well appointed and easily accommodates 2-3 families or 6+ adults and 8+ children!! Everything you could need or want - well stocked kitchen, very comfortable beds and luxurious linens and ample seating, entertainment options and more!!! We loved the sunset views and the Lake. It was warm in July but that didn’t bother us. It’s super private. Kids 12-10-8-7 year olds all had a blast with the kayaks and paddle boards and inflatables and we relaxed. The fire pit was great. We had S’mores and enjoyed ourselves! Definitely enough space to roam, curl up with a good book, enjoy a hearty meal or just chill out. No need to bring your movies or games - this place has an awesome selection!! Highly recommend!!

This wonderful home is spacious, well maintained, and thoughtfully appointed. The owners care about their property – and it shows!
Before I get to the things we especially enjoyed and recommend to others, some words of advice:
• Pay close attention to the information Kim and Gregg provide and come prepared! You make up your own beds with linens they provide; don’t come in late (and tired) and find yourself surprised by this.
• Bring toilet paper and hand soap with you or set aside time to go to the store the day you arrive. They’re on the grocery list provided by Kim and Gregg, but we overlooked them and had to make a quick run to Food Lion before it closed at 11 p.m.
Now, about the property and surrounding area . . .
The size of our party fluctuated during the week as kids and grand-kids came and went, but the home could easily have accommodated all 10 of us at once. Our grand-kids are young (newborn to 3 years) so we were usually together on the top floor and didn’t need the second living area, but it was nice to have and would be great for older children. I can imagine, on rainy days in future years, sending the kids to the lower level and not seeing them again until dinner.
The property has everything you can think of to be happy: space and comfort inside; a pleasant sandy beach outside; a fire pit for roasting hot dogs and making s’mores; floaty toys, kayaks, and paddle boards; a beautiful deck on which to relax; and games and toys of all kinds.
The area is fun to explore. So much history! Because we were there to visit with family, we spent most of our time chatting, eating, and playing in the water, but if you want to sightsee, there’s lots to do! We covered just a small fraction of what there is, and still saw a lot:
• Monticello – Go early in the day to beat the heat and the crowds.
• North Anna Power Station Visitor Center – More fun than you might think.
• Cooper Vineyards and Lake Anna Winery – Wine tasting. Enough said.
• Lake Anna State Park – Skippable, but it was fun to touch the cold side of the lake.
• Cold Harbor – One of 13 Civil War sites that make up the Richmond National Battlefield Park.
Things we didn’t have time to see include more of Richmond and its battlefields; James Monroe’s Highland; James Madison’s Montpelier; and the University of Virginia, which, with Monticello, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Altogether a stellar experience. If you like lakes, I highly recommend staying here.

Great weekend getaway. Loved the house and set-up. Owners were easy to work and communicate with and very accommodating. Highly recommended.

We’ve been renting “cabins” for our annual family weekend for over 15 years. We all agreed that this was one of our best choices ever. There was plenty of room and plenty to do (which was great since the weather was fussy one day). The kitchen was stocked with all the dishes and appliances we could possibly need to create feasts for eight. The location is great, too. We were under an hour away from the museum in Richmond (and shopping) and there is a grocery store just ten minutes from the house. Many thanks to Kim and Gregg for opening their beautiful home to us.

This was our first Lake Anna experience even though we live in RIC. The house is flat out amazing and in addition to that Greg and his family show that they truly care about the experience of those that stay. Every detail is taken care of from books and movies for the kids to firewood for the gorgeous fire pit overlooking the lake. This won't be our last trip to Anna and we have no reason to look for another place to stay. If you have the opportunity, book it now!
