About this property

Beautiful Waterfront - great views, boathouse, sandy beach - Private Side

Enjoy your vacation at a beautiful lake front home with a magnificent view and lovely boat house. Our home is on the private side of Lake Anna, features over 200+ of lake front with a fantastic view of the lake, has 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, open concept kitchen, dining, and great room; two story great room with stone fireplace, prowler style (2 story) windows facing the lake; hardwood floors; kitchen has maple cabinets w/dark granite counters & walk in pantry; screen porch; huge deck; covered parking; boat house w/screened area & sun deck and shaded beach with gentle sloping water entry.



Enjoy swimming in the lake or the community pool; fishing; paddle boarding or bring your own boat to cruise around the 4,000 acre lake.

House is fully equipped.


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 that is fast enough for streaming, zoom etc. 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 screened in porch and 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. On the lakeside we are on the main lake to see activity but secluded in a cove-like setting for protected swimming and hanging out.

The neighborhood 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 ample parking for a boat trailer in the drive way. No street parking.

Minimum age 26 to rent. Under 26 must be accompanied by parent or guardian.

NO Parties or "events" permitted at the house per Louisa County Code.


***Maximum occupancy is 8 adults; 10 people total. Additional occupancy over 10 considered for small children but not guaranteed. FAMILY GROUPS ONLY.***

House is 4 miles from the grocery store; ABC store; pizza and chinese restaurants

No smoking
Photo ID may be required upon booking.
Rental agreement required.

We are on the PRIVATE side of Lake Anna. There are no marinas on this side. This means the lake is quieter with less boat traffic. But, it also means you have to bring gas in cans down to your boat/jet ski. If you would like to rent a boat, we can provide links to rental companies. Please ask (although we do not endorse any provider).

House amenities include:
Boat House with ladder*
2 car covered carport

*PLEASE NOTE: BOAT LIFTS at the boat house ARE NOT FOR USE. If you bring a boat, you are able to tie up along side of the boat house.


Situated on the main part of the lake for excellent views but out of the main thoroughfare. Great swimming area.

Guest Access
The entire house is reserved just for your fun lakeside vacation.
Interaction with Guests

I am always available via phone and text.

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 community 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. No Fireworks are allowed.

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

Best family vacation!
I've rented on Lake Anna for years, and this has been (by far) the best house & property! I traveled this year with my wife and three young kids, my parents, and my brother. The house has a great layout and is very clean and well kept. The property was the real highlight of our stay with the unbelievable backyard! There is a nice dock & boathouse, firepit, and best of all, private beach! The kids and adults alike had a blast hanging out at the beach, swimming, and enjoying adventures on the Lilypad, kayaks, and paddleboards (all provided by the owners!). As an added bonus, trees provided the perfect amount of shade at the beach in the afternoon. At the end of trip, my mom said "This was one of my favorite and most relaxing vacations I've ever been on." Thanks, and we hope to stay here again in the future!

Wonderful!
Our multi-generational group loved this house during our first vacation to Lake Anna. Location was great, walk right out back to private dock and beach. House was great, with comfortable furniture and beds. Great to have lots of outdoor equipment (2 kayaks, 2 kid kayaks, 2 paddleboards). Owner was very communicative and responded to messages quickly. Hope to book again in the future!

Another great trip to Lake Anna
We had another great stay at Lake Anna. The house is great for families and the neighborhood is very quiet. The kids enjoyed fishing off the dock and using the new splash pad.

The boat dock is located on the main part of the lake but tucked away for safe swimming. It is an excellent water skiing area.
