About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

❖ Lakefront Getaway | Close to DC | Near Winery ❖

This Lake House features a delightful open floor plan and modern design with direct access to water from the backyard. Perfect for swimming, fishing and enjoying sunsets.

Included: Awesome work-from-home setup with dual monitors, universal docking station, keyboard and mouse, so you can spend as much time out of the office as possible.

The community offers a number of amenities including a pool, beaches, golfing and more! If none of those strike your fancy, our favorite winery is 5 min away.

This spacious home is located in a quiet cove and offers a wonderful place to swim, fish, watch sunsets, hangout and relax.

The main level features an open living area with lots of natural light. The kitchen features marble counter tops, new appliances, and flooring throughout. Tucked in the corner is a work-from-home setup with dual monitors, a universal docking station complete with keyboard and mouse.

Both the upstairs and downstairs have smart TVs and couches for optimal vegging out.

The beautiful view can be seen from the bright and airy master bedroom upstairs with a queen size bed. The attached master bath has an extra large shower, with his and hers sinks.

The first bedroom downstairs has 2 twin size beds, the 2nd has one full size bed, and the large laundry room includes an extra twin size bed. There is a small but full bathroom for the downstairs guests to use and a half bath in between floors for easy access by both floors.

Facing the waterfront facing is a nice size porch with a gas grill for quick and delicious meals anytime! *Don't forget to click the tongs twice ;)

Evenings are best enjoyed watching the sunset on the dock or strolling the tree lined streets of the neighborhood.

You will need to come to the front gate where the guard shack is. There is a back gate but you will not be able to enter it. To drive around to the front from the back gate takes 30 min, so it is best to avoid this. All spaces are accessible to guests, except for the garage.

The speed limit is 25 mph on the main road and 15 mph on the side roads. Because there are so often people walking around the neighborhood, they're pretty strict on this and will ticket you, so watch out!

Centrally located. Easy access to Charlottesville, Fredericksburg, Culpeper, Washington D.C.

Please note that all community amenities are paid for by the guest.

Great week
My family really enjoyed our week. The house was the perfect size and had everything we needed. The lake is just steps from the back door. My kids really enjoyed just hanging out in the lake. Definitely would recommend this place and would go back again.

Great mini holiday vacation
Perfect little lake front property with all the amenities. Great location with plenty of restaurant choices. Short drive to battlefields with an hour plus drive to Luray Caverns or Washington DC. The gated community is very walkable and pet friendly. Sara was an excellent host and was readily available for any questions.

Just What We Needed
This property was exactly as listed with all the amenities included to enjoy a week on the lake. The location was perfect as we could paddle out and watch the sunsets and even paddle to the beach! The host was very easy to contact with questions and the house was very clean welcoming. It was nice to be located near the front gate so grocery runs were quick and efficient. We are a family of 6 plus 1 pup and we felt we had plenty of room to spread out. We will certainly visit again and highly recommend

Nice house
There were not enough dishes or glasses The deck needed extensive cleaning before we could use it The grill was greasy and needs a thorough cleaning. The owner said we could use the kayaks but there were only two complete paddles for the four kayaks. Had we known we would have brought our own. The setting is very nice. We enjoyed the house and the lake and would consider coming back.

Quick Trip Disappointment
The location was great. The kayaks were fun and the neighborhood is amazing.The house COULD be a great place. Some issues were; not enough kitchenware for guests, stained towels, filthy wall in kitchen, outdoor light bulbs out, filthy outdoor chairs, patio and deck, only one bench at the dock to sit on, garage door can open manually only and does not lock (The property manager tried to say the garage was not an amenity, but the kayaks were in the garage and they were. Plus the safety of a non locking door), dirty floors, gutters and landscaping need lots of cleanup and weed whacking, and no toilet paper holder in the half bath. We still made the best of it! Just disappointed after spending so much for such a short stay!

Fun but disappointing
The property was a great location and the lake access was so fun. The house wasn’t quite as clean as I would’ve expected but not really problematic. The communication with the property manager wasn’t great, it took multiple calls to get ahold of her and she failed to get us pool passes for our stay. The house is pretty well updated but didn’t have quite as many amenities as the listing mentioned. For example, there was only one tv in the living room and nothing else. Overall, we had a really fun trip but I don’t think I would book this listing again.

OK - but not great
The location is lovely. The house requires some attention to details. Of the (4) outside lights on the front of the house, only (1) worked. And it was only (1) by the garage vs. the front door. There was no ironing board - though it listed it as being there. The iron leaked and could not be used. There were (3) under cabinet lights in the kitchen but only (1) worked. Back porch only had (1) light working. The ice maker had Very old (solid) block of ice. I dumped it and started over. The refrigerator water filter needed to be changed. The bed and area rug were pushed way off of center and had the rug messed up. I have pictures if needed. Overall, I'd say the maintenance and attention to details was lacking. A bed in the laundry room? Seems odd. This was my first VRBO Not impressed.

Lovely Home
The house was very clean and functional with good, useful spaces. Waterfront was okay, though the bottom near the shore was mucky - wear swim shoes (which you should in any lake). Could use water stairs. Community was nice as were all the people we encountered. The clubhouse restaurant was very nice. The golf course bar was pleasant. Very near supermarket and Walmart. Overall, a very pleasant stay.

More than Perfect
We needed a long term stay and Sara was nothing short of amazing. We relocated to VA in Jan.2022. We needed a flexible landlord understanding we were looking to buy a house so extending might be needed. She was so kind and accommodating. We had our two dogs with us as well, which wasn’t an issue. The house was just lovely. Clean, beautiful view, nice neighbors and great area. General shopping minutes away and historic Fred just 20-25 minutes away for dinner dates and shopping. We grew quite attached to this house during our 2 month stay and enjoyed the frequent visit from that cove’s Swan resident. We are looking forward to spending a weekend getaway soon. Thank you Sara for your hospitality
