Beautiful location, with a big wonderful home, and a great dock house! Swimming, water toys, fishing. What more could you ask for?

My extended family had a wonderful time at the Relaxing Retreat on Lake Anna. Although the outside was unseasonably frigid, we all had a great time in this spacious home. We were unexpectedly surprised by all the toys, puzzles, and games! Our one year old loved to play in the downstairs playroom, while the adults played 🏓!

Thank you Sonya for providing such a warm and inviting atmosphere making it feel like home away from home. The second you walk in you are immediately reminded you are on vacation....a lake vacation. From the front door you are greeted with views of the lake and a 2-story family/great room which is an open floor plan combo with the dining room and kitchen. On this main level was two large bedrooms (both felt like master bedrooms) with their own luxury bathrooms. The upstairs loft looks over the family room and more views of the lake. The two bedrooms and 2 baths up are very large but quiet, couldn't here anything on the main floor once the doors were closed. This was very nice as we had multiple generations present on this family trip. The basement offered a large playroom with plenty of toys for the young and old including a very nice ping pong table where I left my ego several nights! This level also has a big bathroom as well as a big bedroom with a sliding glass door which opens up to a concrete patio which stretches the whole back of the home. My daughter loved the hammock! The kitchen had a very nice screened in porch off of it with a deck that stretches the entire main level, very nice and spacious. Possibly the best part of the home besides the views of the lake, is the boathouse. A large gathering deck to the right of the main boathouse offered so much fun to the family. We jumped off the deck, swam around the dock, played on floaties, docked our jetski and boat....Sunsets and sunrises are amazing from the dock! The homemade beach complete with new sandpit offered us the opportunity to wind down after dark while the little ones saw how many smores they could eat. Overall, my favorite home we have stayed in on Lake Anna by far! We hope to be back.

Our extended family stayed here in the beginning of August, and it was wonderful! The house is perfect for a large group (we had four couples, plus two young adults, and two little kids). It is nice that each bedroom has it's own bathroom, and the rooms are all very spacious. The no-wake location on the lake is great for kayaking, canoeing, and swimming. The sandy beach is fun for little kids. The house is very well equipped for indoor fun as well, with plenty of toys, board games, video games, and the movie room. The kitchen also had all the small and large gadgets you will need if you enjoy cooking, as we do. We will definitely be back!

Spacious interior... every room is comfortable and accommodating. Inside or outdoors; sun or shade; swimming, boating or lounging.... something for everyone. Our family included infant, toddlers, children, teens and young adults... everyone agreed it was our favorite location for our annual Fam-cation. Although we rented two houses, this is where we spent most of our time.

Our family enjoyed a truly relaxing week in this lovely home on Lake Anna! The house is located in a beautiful neighborhood and on a quiet cul de sac on the lake - very peaceful with limited boat traffic. The lake views are wonderful, and the back decks and well-designed dock offer so many places to enjoy the outdoors. The beach complete with a brand new fire pit is a great place to hang out, and we enjoyed all the provided paddle boards and canoe/kayaks as well as the pedal boat. There's so much for everyone to enjoy! We had one rainy day and just enjoyed relaxing inside the comfortable home. Everything was very clean upon arrival! The brick path from the house to the dock is so convenient, and we loved the newly built pergola that helps keep the dock cool. We really enjoyed the screened in porches at the house and on the deck. This home is a great place for dogs, children, and the elderly or handicapped. We will definitely look forward to returning. Thank you for sharing your home, Sonja, and for your quick and helpful responses to questions!

We enjoyed our stay. The house is lovely and large enough for a big group. It has all the amenities you could ask for. The house and the grounds are kept up and clean. The dock and boathouse are wonderful and they supply kayaks, canoes and floats. We caught a variety of fish, saw turtles and many different birds. Love the bird houses. We will be back again and highly recommend this place. The owner is responsive and easy to work with and answered all questions in a timely manner . We love lake anna.

This is such a wonderful house, with everything you could want or need. We enjoyed our second visit to Paradise on Lake Anna. Thank you so very much!

Having access to a handicap accessible home makes a much more stress free vacation for those caring for a loved one with disabilities. The owner was very easy to work with. Looking forward to staying here again!

This house suited our group wonderfully. It is hard to find houses that will accommodate persons with accessibility issues but this home was just what we were looking for. Everyone was able to have their own bathroom and the kitchen was able to handle our group meal prep just fine. The media room was great and had a large selection of movies and games to satisfy everyone. The boathouse screened in sitting area was very popular also. We had 11 adults sleeping in the house and a second house full of people for meals and visits and nobody felt crowded. We will be renting this house again next year, and the one next door, since we all loved it so much. Lake Anna is a jewel of a spot and the warm side has been a hit in the early spring and mid fall. Thank you Sonja for sharing your home with us and we are already making plans for a trip next spring at your place, Tim & Ann
