About this house rental
Fancy Free
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Fancy Free is a beautiful home with spectacular, breathtaking, long views of the lake from every main bedroom! It is designed for upscale living. All primary bedrooms include private baths, TVs, and balconies. Each balcony has its own patio furniture for you to enjoy and relax in comfort.
The upper level contains two main suites with a living area/loft large enough for a sleep sofa, chairs, and a game table. The main level is a home in itself with living areas, bedroom, sleeping area and a large-screen TV. This level has many different gathering areas including a living room, dining room, new gourmet kitchen, eat-in bar, and breakfast nook. There is also a poker table on this level so you can enjoy the lake views while playing cards/games or watching your favorite team win on the large-screen TV. On this level you will also find several different seating/conversation areas: in front of the fireplace, in the living room, around the poker table, in the den off the great room, dining room table and breakfast nook table.
The lower level is designed for fun. This is where you will find a large-screen TV, pool table, ping pong table, foosball table, and children's play area. There is an additional full-size refrigerator and microwave on this level so you can store all those extra snacks with easy access to the yard and dock. On this level you will also find a universal gym and treadmill so, if you choose, you may keep to your personal workout schedule! Throughout the house, you will find the amenities are extensive. They include, but are not limited to, a private hot tub, jacuzzi tub, pool table, ping-pong, foosball, and poker table complete with professional poker chips. There are two large-screen TVs, two private docks, a swimming dock with a beach, a children's play area, a hammock, and an adult swing. In addition, you will find even more outdoor amenities, too many to mention because they are always growing, but include a basketball hoop, swing set, fire pit, horseshoes, and lots of beach toys and lounge chairs! High-speed fiber optic internet ensures everyone stays plugged in and is great for remote work and distance learning. Other home essential include a private washer/dryer and central air-conditioning.
The home is located on the public side of Lake Anna. Enjoy local restaurant and crab house, Tim's at Lake Anna, or great BBQ at Billiken's BBQ Company. Local shopping can be done at Dickinson's Store. Boat rentals can be found at Shipwreck Boat Rentals and other local agencies.

covered boat dock; beach area for getting in and out of the water; large table - seats 10 - for our meals and playing games together; 3 master bedrooms! well stocked kitchen - love having 2 dishwashers & 2 refrigerators/freezers!;

This is a lovely property and our stay was a positive experience. This house deserves and needs some TLC which would I put it at top of the line.
4.6
The private beach and dock were fantastic. The house was very comfortable and spacious. The downstairs game room was great to use in the evenings, there is something for everyone. I enjoyed the deck the most, being able to sit there and watch everyone playing in the water and enjoying the views. The house provided us with everything we needed to enjoy our vacation.
4.6
We loved the house, the area, it had everything we needed. It was clean and the neighborhood is quiet and we will definitely be back next time.

Very spacious and comfortable. The kids room downstairs was filled with toys and they had a blast. Disclaimer - only one of the bedrooms had its own thermostat. The other bedrooms were heated and cooled only by the main thermostat in the house. Zoned hvac was really the only thing that missed the mark. Great time with the kids. Fully stocked kitchen. Good fishing off the dock. We were all very comfortable during our stay.

Nice and warm place

So much to love about this place! The view is wonderful, the space is well designed and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook a simple meal or a feast for a crowd. The pool table, air hockey, and foosball were all put to good use. The local management team was responsive and helpful!

We had a great weekend at Fancy Free, even though it rained most of the trip. The house is set up wonderfully for kids. We enjoyed it so much we plan to book same place next year. The only thing I would suggest to home owner is looking to put an actual door in on the front bed room for more privacy/noise barrier.

Fantastic location, beautiful view, light airy and spacious

My boys and I had an excellent time. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked with utensils, kitchen equipment and cups/glasses. Also, the location on the lake was ideal. Also, I was working half days so the Wifi was very reliable and robust.

This property was perfect for our family vacation! Would definitely go again!!

Overall we had a wonderful stay and would return if our plans ever take us back to Lake Anna. There was lots of space, indoor and outdoor entertainment, big kitchen with an open floor plan, and a nice boat dock.
The only comment is that the cleanliness needs some work. On the surface it's clean, but it really needs a deep clean. A lot of the kitchenware needed cleaned before using, the boat dock needs a good cleaning, the kitchen floor sticky when walking on and patio furniture/cushions need cleaned.
4.6
If your care about cleanliness, this house may not be for you. The bathrooms are unsanitary and old (e.g., mold in the shower). Outdoor seating area was unusable as their chairs were mostly broken and/or the chair mats were old and dirty. The jacuzzi water has not been cleaned. The whole house is squeaky, including floors, beds, and chairs. All furniture and items are also very old. Overall you do not feel a sense of home or comfort as you can tell this house has not been maintained well. On the upside, the house’s view of the lake is very nice, and it’s very spacious.
4.6
We had a great time in our stay at this home. Very well stocked with most anything you could need and plenty of fun activities. There were definitely a few things that could have been a bit cleaner and several broken pieces of furniture and a loose/broken handle on the oven door. Beds were very comfortable and the home is very spacious! Overall a great place and I would visit again, but it could use a little tlc in some of the details!
4.6
The house is really nice and spacious! communication with Vacasa was easy and they were able to help with what we needed assistance. However, the cleanness of the house was not the best. The house could have at least been vacuumed. The hot tub was very dirty! it was full of algae and there was even two glass bottles of liquor in the water, which is not only hygiene issue but also a safety issue!!!
4.6
The house is spacious, clean and has every amenity you could need. We loved the pool and air hockey tables and the hot tub! The kitchen is stocked with anything you might need to cook! The communication with Vacasa was excellent as well. Thank you!

The pictures posted of the house don't do justice to what the place looks like in person.We just loved how everything was so clean and well kept.
The view from the house is amazing.4 of the bedrooms faced the water and the bonus was all of them had king sized beds that were very comfortable.
What we loved also is that the house had its own private beach where we all could swim and have a wonderful time together.
Would not just love to come back but also recommend it to friends.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is in a beautiful location and neighborhood but the indoor and outdoor furnishings were broke down and very uncomfortable. The lawn was also in need of mowing which make the bugs situation Terrible!! For the price we just felt things could use some improvement. I want to reiterate we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and make do with what we had and hopefully some updates for comfortable furniture will be made soon because we would definitely like to stay again.
4.6
In our opinion some f the furniture inside and out is in desperate need of replacement and updating

Expansive, beautiful and extremely CLEAN home
We loved this space for our group of 7. The home was beautiful and the views of the water in the backyard were incredible. There was plenty of space, both for lounging as well as sleeping. The kitchen was large and well stocked. It was also in immaculate condition, the host asks guests to remove shoes in the home which we all very much appreciated.
The only downside was the speed of the wifi - it was pretty rough but not sure that's due to the remoteness of the location or the service.

property is clean and has nice lake view. I am pretty sure during summer it is much nicer. internet was slow and table tennis net was not properly hanging tight and firm.
i would strongly recommend renting this property. you will enjoy and relax.

When we arrived the wifi was not working. The information they gave us was incorrect and when we reached out to the property manager she was not helpful at all. And it stopped working all together on Saturday even though our checkout was Sunday. The home was lacking towels, if we are staying for multiple days each person shouldn’t only have one towel. The bathrooms were all dirty and the dishwasher still had dirty dishes inside from whoever stayed the last time. There were only a few dishwasher tabs, so we could only run the dishwashers three times each, we had to go out and buy our own to keep washing the remainder of the dishes. There were dead bugs throughout the home, and BITING asian lady beetles all over the ceilings, walls, and in the bathroom. One of the chairs to the poker table was broken and my aunt fell out of it because of it. The jets in the hot tub were dirty, so when we turned it on the tub was filled with dirt. There was alarm locked in one of the private closets that went off everyday at 4am. The views were beautiful but the home did not reflect its beauty in the slightest bit. For the amount of money we paid it was not worth the stay. It needs to be more than just the location, and we are not satisfied with our stay at all.

The view was fabulous. The kitchen was well stocked! We simply loved staying there.
Just a few suggestions:
I would suggest a queen bed on main level where day bed is. The mattress on the wooden king bed upstairs could be replaced.

This is a great house. You really do not need to bring anything as the kitchen is well stocked, lots of books, DVDs, games, ping pong, air hockey, foosball, pool table, lake tubes to float, etc. Lots of toys for little ones.
We brought a ton of stuff for the kids and never touched it.

This is our second time staying at this home. The reason we chose it again was because of the outdoor space. A beach with zero entrance into the water and a large dock for our boat and for jumping in the lake. I will say the last time we stayed here 4 years ago, it was managed by a local management company and was much cleaner, better maintained and just overall a better house. Disappointed in that aspect and will probably not rebook because of that.

This house is very large, with plenty of room to spread out both inside and outside. Thoughtful details throughout, including a very well appointed kitchen, a play room, games, TVs everywhere. But it's the sandy beach that is the biggest selling point, as it continues underwater until the water is over your head (as long as you're under 6'). The beds are also the most comfortable we have slept in outside our own home.
One thing to flag - the WiFi is terrible. Slow and spotty. Since cell service is also hit or miss (and we had a variety of carriers - none of which got great service), you really can't work from home here.
