    Check in was streamlined and easy! Excellent communication leading up to our stay. The house was beautiful and right on the lake. Every morning we woke up and went kayaking as a family, enjoying the peaceful environment and nature. House was equipped with everything we needed and it made vacationing there easy!

    Before we stayed here, we never stayed anywhere more than once. This was our second year here and it won’t be our last. Beautiful lake, just warm enough to refresh. Home is well appointed and well maintained. We love this place.

    A perfect vacation spot with the family for a week! The house was clean and well appointed with plenty of space for all. The location couldn’t have been better and had easy access to boat rentals, mini golf, grocery store and ice cream shop. The shaded private beach and boat dock provided hours of fun for the little ones. Anne was very responsive with any questions we had. Grateful for this comfortable rental!

    Our extended family very much enjoyed our second stay at Vista Place. The house is comfortably furnished, has numerous spaces to hang out alone or in small groups when quiet time is needed, and is well cared for. During our late fall visit, we mainly enjoyed the interior spaces and peaceful atmosphere. Visiting during the summer allowed us to take advantage of the boat house deck (with ladder access from the water), kayaks, paddle boards, float pad, and the sandy beach area shaded from the afternoon sun. We spent lots of time on the screened porch during both visits. We appreciated the privacy of the property and were pleasantly surprised by how quiet this area of the lake was even in summer. The host Anne was very responsive to our inquiries and even volunteered suggestions to beginning paddleboarders on how to use Vista Place’s equipment. We just wish we had thought to bring our binoculars for checking out the variety of birds in the area.

    Beautiful clean, well maintained home. Great location, private beach, fire pit, and boat house. I can’t say enough about how much the entire family loved this place. We will be back again.

    We definitely want to return. The property was clean, well appointed, quiet and conveniently located (especially when we had to call for a tow of our Waverunner).

    The lake house on Lake Anna had all the amenities that were advertised. Our daughters and their families had a wonderful experience swimming, kayaking, jumping on the float mat and playing ping pong. The house was in excellent condition with all utilities working well. I highly recommend it.

    This property was well planned and well situated by the lake. It was a perfect place for young and old in the family. The best parts were the warm lake water, shaded beach for kids, well-designed boat house, water activities available, big kitchen, playroom, and screened porch. We loved all of it.

    Enjoyed the community and dock. However the inside property needed to be sprayed as there seemed to be an excessive amount of bugs even though the host had shared that the property is in the woods.
