Shangri-la

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Shangri-la is the perfect retreat for a secluded and fun-filled escapade! This two-story home has been thoughtfully designed and equipped with the best amenities to provide guests with the ultimate relaxation spot mere steps from the water. Upon entering, you'll be surrounded immediately by plenty of natural light thanks to all the ample windows. As you step inside, the family room will appear before your eyes. It's perfect for family gatherings and movie nights - equipped with two three-person recliner sofas, a one-person recliner, a ceiling fan, and a gas fireplace; you're in for the most relaxed time.

Additional living space can be found by the lake-facing windows, where two two-person recliners and a ceiling fan await. If you're in need of solo time or want to read your favorite novel in peace, this is the ideal spot. From here, you'll have access to both sides of the deck: one comes equipped with patio chairs and a gas grill, and the other with more patio furnishings.

The well-equipped kitchen, separated from the family room by an exquisite stone divider wall, has all the cookware and appliances needed to delight the group's chef. A French door and stainless steel fridge will keep your goodies nice and fresh, while the oven/stove will help when it's time to cook a full-course meal. You won't have to worry about the dishes; the dishwasher has your back. The adjoining dining room has a gorgeous eight-people dining table, but if you require another space for quick meals on the go, the breakfast bar in the kitchen has four stools.

For a truly secluded place to study or work, there's a separate room equipped with a desk and desk chair, a ceiling fan, direct access to the deck, and a spinning bike. Guests will also have a separate, small room with unparalleled views of the water, a ceiling fan, and a comfortable sofa - this is a perfect place to take a nap.

Each bedroom has a ceiling fan, and the main bedroom has two. This bedroom has direct access to the deck, an en suite bathroom, and a laundry room. The bathroom is exquisite, with double sinks, a walk-in shower, a separate tub, and plenty of space.

Head downstairs through the spiral staircase, and you'll reach the lower level of the home, where you'll find a living area, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The living room is another great place to gather as it features a TV, a gas fireplace, a ceiling fan, a sectional, two saucer chairs, and a four-person checkerboard table. Each bedroom has a ceiling fan.

You'll be on Lake Anna's private side, the ideal location to enjoy all the water activities you can think of, such as boating, swimming, kayaking, and canoeing. Three kayaks are provided, so you don't have to bring your own. Bumpass is widely known for its wineries, and they are a must-visit! Less than 10 miles away is Cooling Pond Brewery, or you can make the nine-mile drive to LKA Taphouse. A nearer option is Coyote Hole Ciderworks, seven and a half miles away.

The property was not safe and it was not as described on vrbo. Upon arrival at the property, we noticed many safety concerns, including gasoline containers, a chainsaw left unattended outside, and an excavator vehicle on site. This made the environment hazardous, forcing us to stay inside most of the time. I immediately notified the guest service representative on the first day of arrival about the unsafe conditions. However, no alternative was offered.

The space has so much potential to be amazing. The house is large and spacious, the outdoor area has a ton of space. However, everything seemed in process and could have used a cleaning. It didn't seem like the floors were cleaned at all upon arrival, there was still hair in the showers. The yard was clearly under construction with tools, lumber and a backhoe in the middle. We found a knief and various screws/nails in the yard and could let our kids run around. One of the beds was broken, something that was noted in a review a year ago. When we reached out to the management company we never heard back from them. It was clear they don't care or read the reviews since all the things noted by previous renters still applied. The space has so much potential, I really hope they address the issues.

This is a nice, older large house on the lake. It was a good location, right on the lake, and there were enough canoes and floats for the kids to use, with spare life jackets. Our only gripe was that the kitchen was not well-equipped. There were no pots and the pans, knives cookware was really old and unusable. So much so that we went to the local store and bought two pots and a frying pan for our use. One of the upstairs bedrooms did not have any side tables. Where do you put your water glass at night? Other than these small inconveniences, the overall stay was pleasant.

Large home on the private side (warm side) of the lake. Great location about 12 mins from grocery and takeout. Open layout of house, allowing for gatherings yet quiet sleep areas. Narrow, spiral staircase the dog and a couple older adults could not navigate. Home had everything we needed, although showing some wear. Like others have commented, lack of furnishings and care of dock area ignore a prime benefit of being lakeside. Heavily wooded area around house, so cool and shady on sunny days, but also resulting in lots of spiders and ticks. We had to be careful with kids and dog. Management was very responsive when we had an issue and provided clear and thorough information before check-in and upon arrival.

The property had several issues that i attempted to get addressed all week to no avail. A bed was broken and 2 family members had to sleep on the floor on the matress. Several knobs were missing on kitchen drawers and cabinets, 2 coffee pots and neither worked. If the issues had been addressed our stay may have been more pleasant. A lot of work needs to be done.

One of the cleanest homes I've rented. Celebrated my parent's 50th anniversary here and it was fantastic. We enjoyed the fire pit and my brother brought his boat and he and my dad caught lots of fish in the lake. The beds actually have dresser drawers within the footbed which is brilliant. As others have mentioned, with a few tweaks, it's a five star rental. My suggestions are: put small trash cans in each bedroom, put end tables and floor lamps in the living room and add more dishes (we didn't have enough bowls or coffee mugs.) Thank you for a lovely stay.

We loved how it was so close to the lake. It’s a very spacious house perfect for a big gathering. Also was a plus that it’s pet friendly. Our dogs loved running around the big backyard.
