Prior to booking, the on-line travel agency does not share your contact information with me which restricts us from communicating outside of their platform. After I accept your booking through this on-line travel agency, I will then be able to see your contact information, and I will reach out to you right away to be sure that Blue Skies at Lake Anna is a good fit for your party. Then, I will send you the Rental Agreement for your e-signature.
You’ll notice that Blue Skies at Lake Anna does not offer a discount for a week-long booking. Discounts cost you more because VRBO commission is charged on the pre-discounted price, so I’ve reduced the cost for mid-week dates, which gives you the same price for seven days as if I offered you a discount on the week.

We had a wonderful time celebrating Thanksgiving on the lake. We were provided a roasting pan for our turkey! How much more could you ask for? The view was incredible, and we enjoyed the deer, squirrels, and chipmunks.

We had a great time inside and outside this home. The cove was quiet, the dock and the outdoor amenities including the kayaks, paddle boat, and fire pit were a plus. Inside the home was very clean, the kitchen was stocked with supplies needed for cooking all of our meals, and we loved having the pool table! I really appreciate being able to have all of our family dogs with us. We didn't need to use all the supplied linens, but having them available was a benefit. What we did use of the linens we appreciated the quality and the extra towels for the dogs as well! This home was far enough away for peace and quiet, but close enough to needed stores like the grocery store or convenience stores. Would definitely stay again if we return to Lake Anna.

Our stay was great. The house is positioned close to the lake. The beach area and slope into the lake was perfect for the dog and kids yo be able to splash around. One of the kayaks had a small crack and Kate quickly had a replacement there the same day. The neighborhood is very quiet and felt like we were the only ones there and had the cove to ourselves most days.

The property was amazing! Beautiful house with direct access to the gorgeous Lake. We took advantage of the Kayaks to get up close with nature and relaxed at night with a bonfire. We can’t wait to go back!!!

Absolutely wonderful
Took my husband for his birthday to fish. He had an awesome time catching catfish. The house was amazing and it was clean and spotless. Never stayed in a rental so clean. Kate was a great hostess and provided outstanding information before our arrival. Being disabled, getting to the dock was a breeze for me as I was able to ride my scooter to the dock and enjoy fishing as well. This is the best place we have rented in a long time and I will definitely recommend it to my friends and family. Thank you Kate for allowing us to stay at your home. Looking forward to a return visit.

Bella’s Last Hoorah!
What a wonderful long weekend. Our beloved old dog is not doing well, she still loves the water. The owner was amazing and accommodating. Bella came out of her “uncle’s” truck and straight into the lake! She was so pooped each night but she had an amazing time with a walk in beach and sand to lay in, things to sniff everywhere. Our 1 year old granddaughter LOVED it as well. What a blast.

Lakeside getaway
From the moment we contacted the owner, this rental was 5 stars! Everything was easy from the quick owner response to the final checkout list. The house was very clean with a beautiful kitchen that overlooks the lake, spacious bedrooms with linens provided and a large master bath. Views are amazing and the dock is only a short, flat walk from the house. The internet worked well the whole time we were there! It was a wonderful getaway.

Great, Safe Getaway
We were looking for a few days away with a nice view. Blue Skies did not disappoint. Kate was great to work with through the entire process. House was clean, well stocked, and provided a fantastic long weekend of fishing off the deck, firepit, billiards, and general relaxation. Convenient to Lake Anna State Park for a hike and we ventured out to a couple local restaurants.

Excellent waterfront location
We were a party of 7. Adults, kids and a dog. This place is outstanding in many aspects. First off, it’s location on the water. It’s on a perfect no wake cove. If jumping into the lake is your thing, you can do this all day long. The kids literally did it all day long. House was clean and adequate to serve the needs of Our party. Property manager is responsive.

Vacation at Blue Skies
We had a great time. The house was tucked back in a cove so we could float around on tubes and not have to worry about anything.
Nice flat walk from house to dock.

Wonderful!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blue Skies. This is probably one of the cleanest houses we have ever rented through Homeaway. The location is on a quiet part of the lake and the dock was much larger than it appears in the pictures. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing Stay!
We had an amazing stay at Blue Skies at Lake Anna! Truly one of the most relaxing stays we've ever had. We lucked out with fantastic weather for mid-October with mostly sunny and warm weather. We kayaked, grilled out, hung out on the huge dock relaxing in the zero gravity chairs. had fires in the fire pit every evening, and enjoyed playing pool! The property is beautiful with lots of shade trees and a level walk to the dock. So peaceful on a quiet cove off of the main lake. We love that our dog Maisy was welcome. The owner even provides dog towels! We would definitely rent this home again!

Sept. Stay
We spent a quiet relaxing week on the lake. Kayaking was great. Sitting on the dock and watching the wildlife was amazing, as were the breezes. The house was stocked with everything we needed, and in a great location. One of the highlights of the week was meeting the owners. Kate and Steve are the exceptional people and made our stay that much more better. We look forward to staying here again.

Beautiful, Quiet Lakefront Property
This lakehouse is located on a quiet cove with nothing but woods to occupy your gaze as you sit on the spacious dock or relax by the firepit. The house was clean and nicely furnished with a large kitchen and comfortable beds. The 2 kayaks provided by the owner are a nice bonus for anyone who doesn't have their own watercraft to bring along. Highly recommend this house and property!

Perfect weekend Lake getaway!
The pictures do not do this wonderful property justice! We stayed a long weekend with our family (parents, 2 adult children, their spouses and one grandchild) and dogs. The downstairs is spacious and easy to enjoy quality time with everyone. The deck and patio are great for grilling and cornhole. The dock and sandy beach area were amazing (and the baby monitor reached out to the dock, great for naps/bedtime!). We enjoyed fishing, kayaking and boat rides. We had a rainy weekend, but it truly didn't dampen our experience. We will definitely be back next year!

Blue skies for sure!
Very clean and orderly home. Being in a cove was delightful without all the boats going by. Mornings were wonderful at the boat dock. Would highly recommend staying here again.

No matter what the sky looks like, this home is fabulous!
Blue Skies at Lake Anna is absolutely wonderful. The house is spotless and the views are amazing. The open floor plan makes spending quality time effortless. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is equipped with everything we needed and then some. Working with Kate from the beginning to the end was so enjoyable. We had a great family weekend.

Great Location for Thanksgiving Holiday!
My family and I had an awesome time at Blue Skies over the Thanksgiving Holiday! The house is perfectly situated right on the lake with a beautiful dock and back yard.
