We were a family of grandparents, parents and three children under 5. The house was a great layout for our group. The kids loved the bunk room which was supplied with plenty of toys, games and bins of little people to keep them busy when we weren't on the water. Loved the dock access (we rented a pontoon for four days), all of the water toys and the privacy of the home. The kitchen was well stocked too! Great communication with the owner as well! Perfect place for a family getaway!

We literally didn’t have to finish unpacking because the house had everything! Tons of toys for the kids and board games. So many outdoor activities to keep us all (Ages 2 months-40years old) entertained. The lake house was full of great items for the water and there were multiple things for each child and adult. The kayaks and paddle boards were amazing! So much information about the area and restaurants provided! Great communication with owners. Was very clean and everything was easy to find!
Definitely recommend this property for family vacations!

House is very spacious, clean and well stocked. The game room was a great bonus when we had a rainy day. Beautiful view of the lake and you can walk right into the water!

This was our second time staying at this property. We have two families with elementary school-aged kids and there is endless entertainment for them. Kayaking, fishing, playing in the sand, and a game room plus a closet full of games. Kitchen is well stocked for cooking for a group. Plus gorgeous a gorgeous view!

Our family had been looking for a quick lake getaway for some time and came across this property. It was exactly as described and then some! We instantly felt at home. The boat house was great to sit in with our morning coffee and our toddler loved playing in the sand. Highly recommend. We will be back.

If you are looking for a place to try out Lake Anna and have access to tons of water toys, this place is the best! The house is lovely and spacious. The view of the lake and the easy access to the water is awesome. That the owners allow you to use their water toys -- two kayaks, three paddle boards, numerous floaty things --- makes this an ideal place for a family. No need to lug your own kayak or ponder whether to rent a paddle board just to "try it out." We enjoyed our stay.
One note: this is rural Virginia and the wifi/internet can be spotty. The cell service (for Verizon) was excellent.

The owners were incredibly responsive! The house was exactly as it was pictured online. The covered dock was fantastic. We rented a boat and spent the week playing in the water. Fantastic location! Highly recommend!

It was a fantastic week out on the lake. The house was great, well equipped and maintained - perfect for the kids with a wonderful bedroom, game room, super nice dock, tons of lake toys and entertainment. We look forward to returning next year!

The place was well stocked and had everything we needed. We were traveling with another couple and 5 kids aged 2-5 between us. The bunk room was great for the little ones and the toys and books kept them occupied when it rained. The dock was great for fishing…we caught bass and sunfish and we loved that there were plenty of life vests for the kids to wear when fishing and joining us on the kayaks. We also loved the sun room on the dock and the kids loved the beach area. Overall great visit and we will be back!

We booked Tara Cove Cottage for a quick trip with our kids and grandparents. The home is in a lovely quiet area of lake Anna, not too far from the food lion should you need to go to the grocery store. The house was extremely clean and well kept. You can tell the owners take good care of their property. It came fully stocked with all your kitchen needs. All kitchenware lightly used and was cleanly organized with updated appliances.
The house was full of entertainment for the whole family. The dock/boathouse was the highlight of our trip. We did not rent a boat this time around but if you do this home has everything you need, boat slip and lift.
We did spend hours on the water even still with the kayaks and paddleboards which the home came equipped with. There were also fishing rods, life jackets and plenty of water toys. We loved how organized and easy it was to find everything. You could tell everything in the home is well cared for. The dock looks newly built with fans and lighting installed throughout. The screened-in porch is a nice bonus for those who hate bugs.
Garage had pool table, ping pong, foosball, darts and lounge area. So many things for your family to enjoy. We will be sure to rent again, hopefully in the summertime. You won’t regret it!
Thank you for a wonderful stay!

The house had everything you could need. The view was beautiful! The location is great. We visited Fredericksburg, Washington DC, King’s Dominion, and Lake Anna State Park. The hosts were very quick to respond to any questions I had during booking and while at the house. We would definitely stay at this wonderful lake house again!

Perfect spot for our vacation. The house is beautiful and right on the water. Easy kayaking and fishing, plus BBQ and bonfires. The house was clean and well stocked with the essentials. The kids loved the bunk room with game closet and books. Having the garage game room was an added bonus that everyone enjoyed. Owners were very nice and responsive, we plan to come back again!

This could not have been more perfect! Location was fantastic, arriving was a breeze, the house was immaculately clean and it was perfect for our small family get together to celebrate a 60th birthday. Unfortunately rain kept us inside but there was still ample space for everyone to hang out. On top of all that, the owners were wonderful to work with. Super responsive and so nice! 10/10! Not only would I absolutely rent this house again, I will be recommending it to anyone looking for a place to stay at Lake Anna!

Our short Sept weekend was exactly what we wanted: Perfect weather, warm water, TONS of activities for our teenagers without having to leave the property, plenty of space, lots of flexible sleeping options.
By far, this vacation rental has been the most accommodating one we’ve been to. There were so many little, thoughtful ways that made it feel like home - from kitchen items to beach towels to lovely linens to water activities to daily supplies…
We hope to be back.
Thanks for a great experience.

This property was fantastic! Excellent location, plenty of room for the whole family. Kitchen is fully stocked with a large TV in an open family room. The bunk bed room was great for the kids. We loved the boathouse and swimming/paddle boarding/kayaking. Much of our time was also spent enjoying the spacious deck and the screened-in sitting area in the boathose. We went in early September and the water was perfect temperature for swimming. Definitely would return!

House was great and listing of the property was very accurate. We had a great stay and enjoyed all aspects of the house, the garage with the games, the deck, and the dock for swimming, fishing, boating, kayaking, and SUP'ing!

Jay & Cynthia have thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable! The house had wonderful quality linens and lake towels for everyone and the beds were so soft it took no time to fall asleep. Our kids enjoyed the bunk room and the games in both the game closet and the garage.
The water amenities kept the children busy for hours. Kayaks, paddle boards, fishing poles, tubes, water mat, and floats. You truly need to bring nothing to enjoy the water. The screened in dock area was perfect for lunch time and evening relaxing. There was ample space to tie the boat and jet skis off.
There was a detailed binder available when we arrived to outline the property and needs for our stay. Jay & Cynthia were very responsive when we had questions.
The cove is well located floating and kids playing without worry of main lake traffic. You’re a short boat ride to the marina and the view is absolutely breathtaking.
You really couldn’t ask for a better place to stay.

It is obvious that the owners pay close attention and go above and beyond making sure their vacationers have a great experience. We so appreciated use of the boathouse and the toys for our grandchildren. We made great memories.
