The house has an excellent layout with stunning views from the kitchen and main floor family room. The family room has a TV above the fireplace. There is ample space for eating and serving food with a kitchen bar that seats four, a kitchen table for 4, a standup bar for 4 and a dining room table for 6.

On the lower level there is a large game room with ping pong table, foosball and game table as well as a large screen TV and comfy sectional.

The house features YouTube TV and has broadband internet. Internet service is fiber and one of the only neighborhoods with fiber. TV's are located in the main floor family room, the basement family room as well as in the Master Bedroom and upstairs bedroom with the queen bed.

The outside amenities are pretty cool too - You have a screened-in porch off the kitchen area with table and seating area, an expansive outside deck to barbecue (gas Weber grill) with a picnic table that seats 8. You have a boathouse with covered and uncovered seating, shaded area with a round picnic table and a sunny deck with beautiful views. There is an outdoor firepit.

Vista Place is equipped with 2 adult paddle boards, 2 adult kayaks and 2 kayaks for children (weight limit of 130 lbs) and a swim mat. If you are interested in renting a boat we can provide companies that deliver to the private side (however they are provided without prejudice or recommendation as we have not used them but other guests have).

There is also a wonderful beach area with a sloping entrance into the lake with a sandy bottom. The beach is shaded so it is perfect for children to play all day without sunburn. Adirondack chairs on both the beach and the boathouse.

The house is secluded from the road with trees on the road side and private entrance and then opens to a wide view of the lake, lakeside.

The Waters has a community swimming pool (less than 1/2 mile from the house open Memorial Day to Labor Day); tennis courts with pickle ball court and basketball hoop and a boat launch area that is available for your use. A children's playground is new and added to the common area - and is available for guests to use.

The house has a covered 2 car carport and room for boat trailer parking.

NO Parties or "events" permitted at the house.

 There is a rental agreement that requires all occupants of the house be named, outlines house rules etc and will need to be signed and returned. A driver's license will be required by the individual signing the lease.

Please note we are on the private side - which equates to a peaceful and quieter lake (less boat traffic as no public access) but it also means if you bring your boat/jet ski, you need to bring gas cans - there are no public marinas.

Interaction with Guests

Please note that we do our best to have cob webs swept for outside spaces but it is the country and spiders and birds love the boathouse.

The Neighborhood

The Waters at Lake Anna is one of the best communities on the lake. You have a community swimming pool, tennis courts and playset. Please be respectful of common areas. You will enjoy access to all including the boat launch. Enjoy walking and hiking on open traffic-free roads.

We are in the country and there are known bears, coyotes, mountain lions in the area as well as snakes, bees, spiders and insects. Please be careful at night and while walking in woods and around rocks. We do our best to keep up with the spider webs but nature is quick. There are blowers and brooms readily available as well as wasp and insect spray if needed.

Getting Around

Located five minutes from a grocery store (via car). Car is a must. Many local places to visit.
