Weekend retreat
This was a spacious, very clean and very well stocked home. Despite a few appliance glitches, it was a very comfortable home for our annual retreat. Management was prompt to address the issues and answer our questions. We were very grateful for that.

Beautiful home situated right on the lake w/beautiful views! This home has ample space for large groups & a thing I've found when staying other places, they sometimes lack enough blankets, pillows and towels but this home had an over abundance.

Lovely Oasis
My husband, 6 month old daughter and I stayed here for a month while my husband worked in Louisa. The house is a beautiful, spacious and updated. The kitchen has everything you could need and more. We really enjoyed cooking and grilling during our stay. Lots of games and fun activities for the family. Great neighborhood for walking. We had to reach out to Vacasa and they were accommodating and responsive. All around great house and we had a wonderful stay.

Great house and amenities!
House had perfect layout for our group. Younger folks and teenagers stayed downstairs and played pool and ping pong all night long. Older folks upstairs relaxed in peace and quiet. Unbelievably fully stocked kitchen! Not obvious from photos, there’s a fenced in yard area right off the house for dogs and small children, and there are several Adirondack chairs on both beach and dock, plus two upright paddle boards in addition to the kayaks/canoes listed. View from the living space upstairs is fabulous. Dock area great for both sun and shade lovers and also obviously for boat docking. We had a great vacation!

Family vacation
Would have given it a 5 star but there were a few things that needs fixed. The smaller gas grill didn’t work. The property and privacy of the property is great. The landscape needs TLC, at the house and down at the dock. The lawn was mowed but the weeds around the house needed some serious attending to. The house was clean and if we had any questions we got a response very quickly. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. We had a great time.

Serenity Now Review
The house was great, lots of toys, puzzles, DVD's, bikes etc. etc. Tons of cooking stuff and dishes. Landscaping was a little unkempt and the play equipment was unusable. Wi-Fi was extremely slow! Apicture of the entrance in the description would show the 15 steps necessary.

Great House - outside amenities could be better
The house was perfect for us. The kitchen was well stocked, the bedrooms and baths were as described. The lowest level was perfect for pool tournaments and video game trivia! The deck and covered porch were great for morning coffee and tea. The property is sloped throughout, until you get to the waterfront. To get to the waterfront is about 75 yards and it is NOT an easy walk and I am glad we rented a golf cart for my mom. Even the golf cart ride was a little treacherous with the slope of the property. The landscaping could use some attention. The sitting area under the deck will soon be overrun with weeds if not attended to. The “beach” is already overrun with weeds. The canoes and kayaks, once we cleaned them up, were great, except there was no kayak paddle. The dock itself is tired and needs some TLC. The lights didn’t work, but luckily, the fan did. Despite the condition, we had a great time sitting by the lake and enjoying the quiet. We did rent a pontoon boat for a day and were able to bring it right up to our dock. Note-there is no longer a fence though it is advertised with one.

Great for teens and adults, medium for small kids
Pros: The location is stunning! The house is large and spacious with lots of seating and kitchen supplies. The dock is lovely and there are tons of books, games, and movies. The fenced in yard is great for the kids and the beach was a hit! Cons: Unfortunately, so many items for kids under 8 were broken, missing, or otherwise unusable. The nearest store for replacements is over 20 minutes away. The play structures in the yard were broken in ways that made them actively dangerous. The only hose had been hit by a lawnmower and would not attach to the slip and slide from the garage. Most of the child-appropriate DVD cases were empty. Basically, the kids kept getting their hopes crushed. Also, the crib listed is an unsafe drop-side model. Otherwise, many of the dishes had been put away dirty and there were tons of dead bugs in the house. I tried contacting the management company and they repeatedly ghosted me. Overall, this would have been a great trip if our kids had been older, at this point though, this location brought unexpected frustrations.

Great place to relax
The location was very soothing and relaxing. The cleaners did a good job--the areas that I care the most about were properly cleaned--I don't care about having to wipe down the outside tables. The owners have recently bought new furniture, so everything was in great shape. The panty is stocked with every conceivable kitchen gadget imaginable. If you like to cook, the kitchen is a dream. For me, I only have two negatives: I had to work remotely for a 1/2 day and the internet is slow--like, it feels like the dark days of dial up, and I had to kick everyone off the WiFi so I could have it loan faster than a minute per page. It really took around 45 seconds to process each page, when they normally take around a second. That was frustrating, and I had to get caught up on work when I got home because I didn't accomplish everything due to slow internet. I have Verizon, and I was only getting 1 - 2 bars, so using my phone as a hotspot wasn't optional . Second, if you have your own kayak/SUP, I would recommend bring it. The inflatable SUPs are in great shape, but the YOLO SUP, is missing a fin. I used the sit-on-top kayak and the foot rests were missing which affected my balancing. The garage is packed with every game imaginable and different kids of floats, so you have tons of options.

Lake Anna Serenity Now review
We enjoyed the views, making s’mores in the firepit, star gazing and relaxing in the hammock.The kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed watching the eagles and herons.However, there are a lot of issues with this home.To start, we arrived to a home with a lot of dead bugs, dirty bed linens stacked up, black mold in the primary shower, trash in the bathroom drawers and a toilet on the main level that kept running.The pictures of the outside area on the listing do not portray the actual condition of the property.The area under the deck is full of weeds.The "sparkling pink sand" is in fact also covered with weeds and we were not able to sunbathe as the listing suggests. The dock had several loose, unsafe boards and rusty staples. The kayak had a large bee's nest. There were only 2 life vests and one kayak oar. Most of the outdoor toys in the garage were either missing pieces or covered in mouse feces.The basement bedroom smelled of cat urine.The primary bedroom had a window that was not even attached to the frame so it was cold at night and hot in the day and smelling firepit smoke. It felt like camping. The children’s toys in the backyard were broken. We also expected it to be quiet as the listing states but you can constantly hear the traffic on the Pamunkey Bridge on Route 522.I reached out to the local number listed on our reservation to no avail.I reached out to Vacasa many times and sent pictures but was just told to wait for the "local staff to resume duty” for a resolution.

Beautiful property on a very serene part of the lake. Interior of this house is so nicely furnished, beautifully decorated and spacious. Perfect for our family group of 14. Our 6 and 8 year olds were never bored with the abundance of outdoor toys and indoor games. Our 2 year old loved the playhouse out back. So many different outdoor spaces to enjoy as well. Our week was too short. Would definitely return to this property!

Couldn’t ask for anything more!
This house and property were amazing! The pictures of the dock and the lake look like out of a storybook. We had three families with small children, and it was perfect for a family get together. In the house it had a great pool table, ping-pong table, and tons of games to play. The daily amenities and cookware were also top notch. We definitely would recommend it!

Great property with great amenities. Very well stocked and clean inside. Outside could use a little work. The deck and boat house are in need of repair and cleaning. WiFi was very weak. OK for our group but could be rough for some.

Wonderful house, beautiful view, lots of outdoor space
The open layout of this house is great for family gatherings. The kitchen has a huge island, a great stove, and double ovens. It was such a pleasure to cook in it. The layout of the bedrooms gives everyone private space to relax. Having 4 full bathrooms, what a luxury! The entire experience was fantastic. The property managers were responsive. The only recommendation I have is to have a few more nonstick pans - particularly a 12-inch pan. and more spatulas/tongs. All in all a GREAT place to spend time with family.

Quiet place, big space
Was a great place no complaints. Had some issues with the stink bugs but not enough to maybe return in the future. Since it was end of October and the weather was moving towards cold was happy that the main room was large enough to handle us all with no real crowding. Create use of space especially with the bathrooms. Since it was mentioned in the remarks before wanted to say that all the rooms had TVs and the remotes all where there and worked.
