About this house rental
Serenity Cove is the perfect waterfront lake getaway! The name comes from its unique location on the lake that provides the privacy of a secluded cove right off the main lake.
Location:
We are on the public side of the lake which has boat access to all local restaurants and marinas. We are about a 15 min drive to Food Lion (Grocery store), 10 min drive from Dollar General. Lake Anna Winery is 8 minutes down the road. We are about 35 mins from downtown Fredericksburg, 1 hour from Charlottesville, 1 hour from Richmond, 45 minutes to Kings Dominion & about 1 hour and 40 mins from DC.
The Property:
The property is located on a relatively quiet cove and features its own small cove with a deep water dock allowing for swimming and floating (and great fishing!) without the nuisance of constant wakes etc. Beautiful trees and water are your view from the dock with no neighbor to the left and undeveloped land across the lake. You can launch your own boat from our private ramp as well as tie it up on the dock. You can waterski, wakeboard and tube in our cove in view of the dock without having to venture out to the busier part of the lake. The spacious dock allows for all your guests to spread out and enjoy the lake together. 300 feet of waterfront.
The Home:
Our comfortable home gives you a classic lake house feel! The large wrap around deck provides plenty of room to spread out to enjoy the sun. The upper level open concept common area provides plenty of light and access to the large upper deck. The large two-story stone fireplace provides that true lake house feel and wonderful warmth in the winter. It is a great space to play games, relax and enjoy good company. The large open kitchen comes fully equipped. Washer and dryer are located off the kitchen. Wifi throughout the home. Finally, relax on the comfy leather sectional in the downstairs entertainment area stocked with tons of movies and cable to give way for an amazing movie night at the end of a long action packed lake day. All bathrooms completely renovated in 2022.
Sleeping Arrangements:
The first master bedroom is on the first floor with its own full bath including a jacuzzi tub, queen bed, stunning views of the lake, and access to the top deck! The second master on the first floor has a private sitting area with a pull out bed and TV, full bath, queen sized bed, and access to the back deck. The first downstairs bedroom has two sets of bunk beds. The second downstairs room has a queen bed with access to the lower deck and beautiful views of the lake. The final bedroom downstairs also has a queen bed, access to the lower deck, and beautiful views.
Guest access
You have complete private access to the entire property (other than locked owner storage closets, garage and boathouse).

This house was gorgeous and absolutely perfect to get away. It’s in a cozy, secluded spot in the lake. Sadly, due to weather we weren’t outside much but the house has everything you could need and more! If they allowed dogs we’d 100% be back!!

We enjoyed our stay at Serenity Cove. The house is in such a peaceful place with great views of the lake. The kitchen has everything you’d ever need. Beds were comfortable as well as couches. The bathrooms are beautiful! Would definitely recommend staying here.

We have a small group of 10-12 "old high school and college friends" who have been re-uniting off-and-on since 1976 (a great group of close, dear friends)! This was our first visit to Serenity Cove - Bumpass, VA., and we LOVED it! Excellent location on Lake Anna, a terrific/peaceful spot on the lake, and a nice/comfortable home. Our group had a wonderful week!!!

The house was large, but a little dated. The location on the lake and lot were awesome. The power went out the first night of our stay. I contacted the owner the next morning and was told that I needed to check the status of the outage on the power company's website. When I went there, I discovered that the outage had not even been reported. So I called the power company and reported it. The representative initially said that they didn't provide service to the address. I found the meter and gave him that serial number and he then found the service account. The company then sent a crew to resolve the issue. I think that shouldn't have been the guest's responsibility to resolve the problem. Weather didn't cooperate, but there were plenty of games and movies to keep everyone satisfied. The wifi was far superior to other Lake Anna homes.

The house and property are even nicer than the pictures could capture! There are three lovely inside common spaces and multiple decks. Four full baths made this ideal for our crew. Our only regret was that we were in town for a wedding and had little time to enjoy it!

The location is secluded and Blount Cove great for fishing. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and loved the layout of the upstairs. New bathrooms were nice. The main room and one of the bedrooms had no screens so no way to let fresh air in without letting bugs and critters in too. Mouse droppings were in three of the kitchen drawers so had to wash all utensils and some dishes before using. Garbage disposal stopped working and no one came to service it so we only had one sink for washing dishes. It would have been nice to have a table at the dock.

Great views. Lots of things to do outside. House was well worn but clean.

House was great, check in process was seamless, the owner gave detailed instructions how to access the driveway as GPS misroutes you.
We were unclear about how to access the kayaks as we only saw one small device on the dock with one life jacket, but besides that everything was great.

Fun family memories
We have always done a beach vacation and changed it up this year to a lake vacation! We couldn’t have loved this more! The house was perfect for us, the property was great, the lake and dock was awesome! Loved that we were in a cove and felt safe letting younger ones swim and kayak with no fear of speeding boats. We rented a boat for the week too and had no issues docking it at the house. Fantastic time and want to do it again!

EVERYTHING we needed/wanted!
We were a large group, ranging in ages from 18-55, comprised of my siblings and lots of nieces and nephews - a large, active bunch of people. The private bedrooms were all spacious and comfortable, with super-soft sheets and comfortable mattresses. The 4 full baths were HUGELY needed; the three I saw were impeccably renovated with luxurious towels and clean, modern decor. With a large crowd and limited eating out options, we prepared all meals at the house; this is the first time that we have ever had a kitchen that had EVERYTHING we needed to cook for a large crowd -lots of utensils, sharp knives, pots/pans, dishware, cutlery, etc. The large island in the kitchen was a huge asset. Laundry area was super spacious. Three separate "hang-out" areas gave everyone a chance to split off and socialize or find quiet. The massive deck facing the lake had lots of furniture with comfortable cushions and an outdoor table. We did bring extra lakeside chairs, but the ones provided were easy to move and plentiful. The dock and ladder were pristine and well-kept; the boat tie ups were used as well. Private, quiet cove location was perfect with the sun shining on the lakefront almost the entire day, ending in the sunset spilling across the lake towards the shoreline. With multiple entrances into the house, we all came and went with ease. Also, there is great walking right from the driveway; we walked 6 miles every day with hardly seeing a car. LAST, but not LEAST, Gavin is very responsive to any needs!

Our third year at this property. Great location and set up for our group of 2 families.
House is well stocked in the kitchen and with other supplies. Plenty of space on the dock and deep water for docking a boat.

We had a love time at this property. Home has plenty of room to spread out or gather together. We enjoyed swimming from the dock, having campfires and boating on the lake. Excellent location!

Beautiful Property
Serenity Cove was just that, serenity. Very quiet neighborhood and location on the lake. Public side allowed access for rental boats to be docked at the property. House was very clean, perfect for our family of ten to stay there comfortably. Gavin was quick to respond to questions. Only negative (a minor one at that) was that the ice maker was very slow. We were aware of this ahead of time, and supplemented with store-bought ice, so it wasn't a huge deal. Would consider this again for our family vacation in the future!

Quiet and relaxing
We came for a family wedding nearby. This was a great alternative to several hotel rooms.
The house is very spacious so we were all able to find a place to relax. The deck was absolutely wonderful for morning coffee, listening to the birds.

Oasis Away
Gavin was excellent at communicating and the lake front property was everything my trivia team and friends wanted to enjoy. Kitchen capability was well stocked and appreciated. Firewood was clutch and we had a great time.
Would definitely come back!

Perfect Holiday Retreat
The property exceeded our expectations. There was plenty of room to stretch out a large extended family. The bedrooms are spacious. There is an extraordinary amount of space inside and outside to gather with the family. The dock is great. I even caught a fish and told stories by a campfire. Incredible experience for me and my family.

Girls weekend
Very nice stay for 4 adults. We enjoyed having a workable kitchen and large separate bedrooms. Loved the dock and fire pit. Kayaking was available but we didn’t use as we were just happy sitting in the sun and admiring the views. Beautiful fall weekend getaway!

Okay...but no jacuzzi
Location of property was beautiful. House was definitely big enough very roomy,cozy and welcoming. One of the things I was looking forward to was the jacuzzi however I recieved an email saying that it was not working .I was very disappointed. when I arrived I could understand why it didn't work it was a very very old jacuzzi. Canoe was usable but seats had holes. Dont get me wrong it was beautiful just needs some updates maybe and should not have listed it with the jacuzzi.

Great weekend trip
Great place with everything you need. We really enjoyed the dock and fire pit. Quiet cove, but close to the main lake. The private boat ramp is really convenient.

Amazing Get Away!
The house is huge, well supplied and comfortably decorated. The four queen bedrooms each include a sitting area for privacy and beautiful views. Three decks/patios adjacent to the home include ample, comfortable seating, and inside there are also three group sitting areas. As nice as the house is, the outside area is even better! The area by the lake (located on a relatively private cove,) is well maintained with ample areas for kids to safely play and swim. We loved this home!
4.0
Wonderful, peaceful view of the lake. The three common area living rooms makes it easy for people to spread out and relax. Kitchen had everything we needed and the dock and firepit area are wonderful outside living spaces to enjoy. Overall very lovely and we would stay there again. We do, however, also like to give a full balanced reviews for other future rentersItems that held it back from a 5-star review from our experience:- Linens were supposed to be there upon arrival, but were not. We contacted the owner a few times until we got him, but then the linens finally did arrive at 9:30 PM. Delayed the kids getting to bed - There were some cleanliness challenges: Cigarette butts, empty cans, corn cobs around property. Rings around the toilets, moldy stains in shower- Assuming we just got a bad luck there -( which can happen sometimes with a rental) there were also a few infrastructure items that prevent it from a 5-star rating in our mind 1) No screens on the sliding glass doors. Have to choose between fresh air and bugs 2) The biggest item is the unsafety of the master bath that has the jacuzzi tub. Trying to crawl in and over the porcelain steps to take a shower when there are no grab handles is an accident waiting to happen. Depending on your age/mobility this one item could be a non-starter for picking this rental above others. 3) The only tv on the main level is in the one mbr..... if you're out on the lake not a big deal at all--- but if its a long rainy week it could be a factor...
