We have been staying at the Valentine House for 1 week over the last few summers and every time has been wonderful. The house and its location are perfect and feels private, but still close to go tubing or take the boat out. The beach area is lovely with soft sand and very few rocks to worry about. The boathouse is screened in and perfect to hang out in. The house is beautiful and Nanette does such a great job of making you feel like your vacation going well is as important to her as it is to you. She is responsive and gracious. We love the house and area so much that we have already booked again for next year and can’t wait to be back at the Valentine House.

The house and property are beautiful. It is so peaceful and a great escape from normal activities. We loved staying here and hoe to come back.

Such a gorgeous property. This is our 2nd stay here and it's just a wonderful place. Everythng is clean! The kitchen is well stocked with utensils. We bring our jetskis and it's a perfect part of the lake to ride around every day. Can't wait to visit again next year!

We had the absolute best experience! From the beginning of booking all the way to leaving, our experience was wonderful. The property owner is kind, attentive and communicative. The house was beautiful with space for our family of 6 to spread out. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and felt like home. The house is beautifully updated. The outside is gorgeous with amazing landscaping and many spaces to explore and play different sports and activities. We enjoyed the boat house ALOT and the sandy beach was a hit for us all. The lot is perfectly situated in a private area that still had gorgeous views. We loved the ability to be in full sun or shade at any point of the day. Thank you! We will be back!!

The house is great! The lakefront is great! The host is great!

Our family had a wonderful stay last week at the Valentine House! The property was spectacular with a beautiful boat house, private dock and beach, lovely firepit area on the beach. Lots of yard too for us to play yard games/sports. Quiet neighborhood. The house was clean and had everything we needed and more! It fit our family perfectly! Nanette was a wonderful hostess and answered our questions in a timely manner. It was the perfect place to relax and spend quality time together as a family. Highly recommend and look forward to staying there again!

Property is incredible. House is setup very well. Check in and out were very easy. Had an issue with the property jon boat rental batteries. Owner is going to check out the issue. House kitchen is very well stocked.

Property is beautiful. Well stocked kitchen for prepping a Thanksgiving dinner for 12. Kayak and paddle boat fun, putting green a challenge. We were blessed with perfect autumnal weather. Property manager immediately responsive.

The home is spacious and comfortable, beautifully decorated and superbly equipped. The view of the lake takes your breath away no matter what time of the year and the amenities...one could not ask for more. Wander on the grounds or around the lake. The boathouse is intoxicating with the screened in porch - grab a good book and settle in. Or sit by the fire pit in the evening and watch the stars. We cooked every night and entertained visiting family with such ease. You will want for nothing here...just an extension of your time!

What a wonderful time we had as a family! This place is amazing and we highly recommend it! The owners are great and very responsive. Despite the rainy and cool weather the first few days, we had an incredible time making amazing memories!

My husband and I rented this property for a family vacation with our two children, their spouses, and five grandchildren children ranging in ages between 15 months and 7 years. This trip was in lieu of our OBX vacation. We decided on a lake vacation because of the ages of the grands. It was the best decision we could make! Lake Anna, and in particular this property, checked every box! We brought our pontoon which we tied up at the dock. Between the boat and all of the amenities of the outside spaces, we had a ball!!! The boys (5 and 7) were up with the chickens and down at the dock fishing. We lost count of how many bluegills they caught and they loved every minute. If you’re looking for a spot to give your family, and particular the kids, outdoor recreation at it’s best, then this is the place!

This was our first time vacationing on Lake Anna and it was Perfect! The home was beautiful, very clean and well equipped. The quiet cove and walk out beach area was great for the small children who spent hours playing in the sand. The outdoor landscaping was beautiful, from the putting green or relaxing in the screened in boat house to sunning on the large dock there was something for everyone. The lake clean and warm. I would absolutely come back to this vacation home.

The house is beautiful and the perfect size for our family and another family to stay (10 people overall). The outdoor area is absolutely amazing, though! The beach area and dock are perfectly situated for kids to play and swim and parents to easily join or watch. We were able to dock our boat on the side. Nanette is extremely responsive and wants you to have a great stay and she hits the mark every time! We will definitely stay again!

House was beautiful and had everything we needed and wanted. Outside area was great with beach area and boat house. The waterfall was so peaceful!

Very nice property, great location at the south end of the public side of Anna, owner/manager was very helpful with our minor issues. Thanks for a great time!

Best house on the Lake! and Nanette is the best host! This was our 3rd summer at the Valentine house. I could go on and on about the house but its already hard to rent and we don't want to lose our spot next year 😂.

We had a great stay at this well stocked and decorated house. The owners have thought of everything. There is a lot of privacy and fun to be had! The house is towards the end of the lake and very quiet. Everything was comfortable and worked well. We would definitely recommend a stay there!

Enjoyed it very much, big house on very large property. Recurved a lot of help from owner.

What a fantastic property! 9 of us stayed very comfortably with room to spare. There's nothing lacking at this property - both inside and out. We utilized the outdoor amenities - our favorites were using the kayaks, making fires on the beach, and finding one of many nooks to sit and relax. Indoors - there was a well-organized kitchen with everything we could possibly need to execute a full Thanksgiving dinner. Beds were so cozy it was impossible not to sleep in, and the loft space was perfect for the kids' private roomy retreat. Communication with Nanette was effortless. Quick to answer any questions we had before, during, and after our stay. This is a truly special special property and we felt fortunate to be staying there. So many beautiful memories were made. Don't think twice, just book it!

This property just checked all the boxes for us when we booked and we were not disappointed! This was a celebration of our 40th anniversary and also our grandson's 5th birthday. From the gorgeous views to the firepit, the hot tub, paddleboat, Jon boat, and beautiful spacious interior of the house - it was just a perfect vacation! Nanette was always super responsive before, during and after our stay and very warm and accommodating. I can't recommend this property enough. The week went by much quicker than we wanted. Thank you so much and I hope we can book again some time!

It has been a long time since we have had a family vacation. My husband and I wanted to get our 4 children, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, & 3 grandchildren together for a week vacation. We were thinking beach but I came across this property on the lake. The property was even more amazing then we imagined. The pics are good but to see it in person is breathtaking. It was so nice to make memories and watch everyone enjoy themselves. Fishing, canoeing, swimming, playing golf, relaxing in the hot tub, playing on the beach, eating s'mores around the fire pit, and hanging out around large dining table playing games. The views from the kitchen & living room were amazing. The host of the lake house was very helpful when we had questions or concerns. Very quick response time. My family and I would highly recommend this lake house and look forward to returning next year.

The pictures do not capture how much space and activities are on this property!! From the screened boat porch to the sandy beach and golf green, the tranquility if the waterfall and the enjoyment of the hot tub, this place is a 1st place winner for families that love to be outdoors!!

We loved our week-long stay here. The house is great and can't beat the location and view. We loved the property and all the amenities - we also rented to jon boat for the week and really enjoyed it. Nanette was super responsive to all of our questions and the property really is as nice as all of the pictures.

This was our second time at Valentine Cove. The property is lovely - lots of lakefront area, including a shady beach area with adirondack chairs, great dock for fishing where the little ones caught a bunch of little fish, 2 kayaks and paddleboat are fun activities, swimming right off the dock. Secluded cove without much boat traffic at all and it is a no-wake zone so no speeding motors to worry about. All around, this is a great home.

We had an outstanding stay at Valentine House in July 2021. Our group, two families consisting of 4 adults and 6 children (toddler-teenager age range) had a wonderful stay. The kitchen is perfect for hanging out. The sofas are comfortable for lounging. The bedrooms are very well appointed for a group. I liked that the “kids” rooms were upstairs and away from doors (peace of mind for parents). The outdoors are are amazing. The dock and beach were used all day by our group morning-evening! We hope to be back. Also, Nanette (the owner) was so responsive. We appreciate being able to get answers about any questions before and during our stay.

We had a wonderful family vacation at the Valentine house. There was plenty of room for all 10 of us- all of us even fit at the dining table.! So much to do around the property-we enjoyed the kayaks, the johnboat and especially the boat house where the kid/teenagers hung out quite a bit. we rented a boat one day and went tubing which was a lot of fun. This was one of our favorite family vacations and we highly recommend a stay at the Valentine House.

We've rented many places on the lake. This is by far the best house we have stayed in!

The house is gorgeous, but the property is AMAZING. The house had all of the amenities we could possibly need. We rented the Jon boat for an additional fee, which the teens enjoyed driving around a bit to sight see. The beach is perfect and the position of the property on the lake was ideal for tubing and boating. We can't wait to stay here again!

The house is updated and well maintained. The grounds are amazing- the sandy beach, the dock, the screened porch in the boat house, the waterfall and the putting green- so much to enjoy. There truly is ample parking and even an ice maker in the screened porch. Our group enjoyed it all!

Awesome place to stay. It has to be one of the best places to rent on the lake.

The pictures do not do a justice for this rental. We spent a lot of time in the boat house. Spent an entire day playing the hole of golf. The property is very large so there are many places to spend your time. Property Manager is quick to respond.

We enjoyed a lovely week at Lake Anna. The grounds and amenities of this home are amazing. We especially enjoyed the private beach in the low wake zone. It was a great space for our young children to play all day. We were delighted with the quality of the beach towels that were provided as part of the rental. We also rented the John boat and found it was a great way to explore more on the lake. As a side note, the house has two adult life vests and one small child so if you are traveling with more people, be sure to pack your own! The house had reliable WiFi which made remote learning and working while on vacation really easy. The large open living area of the home was lovely and comfortable. We also enjoyed the varied spaces and seating options outside. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all updated and are spacious. The two masters, one with an en-suite, on the main floor were both large and comfortable. The upstairs bedrooms were nice with all twin beds. One room does have the upstairs AC vent which makes this room cooler than the other upstairs bedroom. We were very happy with this home and the variety of outdoor amenities right at the home. We felt especially welcomed by the owners with the thoughtful gift bag they left for us upon our arrival. The responsiveness of the owners was quick and we truly enjoyed our vacation on Lake Anna.
