Lakefront home w/secluded cove, deep water dock, plenty of space


Serenity Cove is the perfect waterfront lake getaway! The name comes from its unique location on the lake that provides the privacy of a secluded cove right off the main lake.

Location:
We are on the public side of the lake which has boat access to all local restaurants and marinas. We are about a 15 min drive to Food Lion (Grocery store), 10 min drive from Dollar General. Lake Anna Winery is 8 minutes down the road. We are about 35 mins from downtown Fredericksburg, 1 hour from Charlottesville, 1 hour from Richmond, 45 minutes to Kings Dominion & about 1 hour and 40 mins from DC.

The Property:
The property is located on a relatively quiet cove and features its own small cove with a deep water dock allowing for swimming and floating (and great fishing!) without the nuisance of constant wakes etc. Beautiful trees and water are your view from the dock with no neighbor to the left and undeveloped land across the lake. You can launch your own boat from our private ramp as well as tie it up on the dock. You can waterski, wakeboard and tube in our cove in view of the dock without having to venture out to the busier part of the lake. The spacious dock allows for all your guests to spread out and enjoy the lake together. 300 feet of waterfront.

The Home:
Our comfortable home gives you a classic lake house feel! The large wrap around deck provides plenty of room to spread out to enjoy the sun. The upper level open concept common area provides plenty of light and access to the large upper deck. The large two-story stone fireplace provides that true lake house feel and wonderful warmth in the winter. It is a great space to play games, relax and enjoy good company. The large open kitchen comes fully equipped. Washer and dryer are located off the kitchen. Wifi throughout the home. Finally, relax on the comfy leather sectional in the downstairs entertainment area stocked with tons of movies and cable to give way for an amazing movie night at the end of a long action packed lake day. All bathrooms completely renovated in 2022.

Sleeping Arrangements:
The first master bedroom is on the first floor with its own full bath including a jacuzzi tub, queen bed, stunning views of the lake, and access to the top deck! The second master on the first floor has a private sitting area with a pull out bed and TV, full bath, queen sized bed, and access to the back deck. The first downstairs bedroom has two sets of bunk beds. The second downstairs room has a queen bed with access to the lower deck and beautiful views of the lake. The final bedroom downstairs also has a queen bed, access to the lower deck, and beautiful views.

Guest access
You have complete private access to the entire property (other than locked owner storage closets, garage and boathouse).

Perfect stay!
This house was gorgeous and absolutely perfect to get away. It’s in a cozy, secluded spot in the lake. Sadly, due to weather we weren’t outside much but the house has everything you could need and more! If they allowed dogs we’d 100% be back!!

Great for a Get Away
We chose this place for our family vacation for Christmas. It was very quiet and perfect for our family. The house was clean and up to COVID guidelines. The owner was responsive and provided a great list of things you'd need to know. I highly recommend this place and will be booking with location again.

The house and property are even nicer than the pictures could capture! There are three lovely inside common spaces and multiple decks. Four full baths made this ideal for our crew. Our only regret was that we were in town for a wedding and had little time to enjoy it!

Reunion of Life-long Friends
We have a small group of 10-12 "old high school and college friends" who have been re-uniting off-and-on since 1976 (a great group of close, dear friends)! This was our first visit to Serenity Cove - Bumpass, VA., and we LOVED it! Excellent location on Lake Anna, a terrific/peaceful spot on the lake, and a nice/comfortable home. Our group had a wonderful week!!!

Nice get away
Nice place just as described. We enjoyed the kayaks they had and fishing off the dock. We had trouble finding the location, so don’t use GPS. The showers had some standing water and owner was notified and unaware but is getting taken care of. Owner was very responsive and great to work with. Highly recommend and will stay again!

The house had everything we needed .The lake was wonderful . Lots of fun swimming and very safe and quiet for the kids to swim and play. Great camp fires and fishing. We also rented a boat which could dock right at our pier. Commonwealth boating marina was great for us. Gavin the house owner and manager was great. He got back to us quickly with any questions we asked of him. Fun enjoyed by all. Thanks

Wonderful Memories Made
This was the perfect lake house for our family vacation. We enjoyed the home with the different rooms to spread out for games, eating, movies, etc. The lake is a short walk from the house, with a great dock and plenty of chairs for everyone. We have spike ball players, so we were thankful for the grassy area. We also enjoyed the kayaks. And, our grandson was able to swing on the swing set with the baby swing we brought for him. We'd say there is some updating to do here and there, but overall it's an excellent house for a family vacation!

Great Location and Comfortable
The location is secluded and Blount Cove great for fishing. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and loved the layout of the upstairs. New bathrooms were nice. The main room and one of the bedrooms had no screens so no way to let fresh air in without letting bugs and critters in too. Mouse droppings were in three of the kitchen drawers so had to wash all utensils and some dishes before using. Garbage disposal stopped working and no one came to service it so we only had one sink for washing dishes. It would have been nice to have a table at the dock.

Great stay at a great property!
Our group of nine adults and two small children had a wonderful time at this property on Lake Anna! The house met all of our expectations! It was spacious, clean, and well stocked. It was so convenient having all linens and towels provided! There was plenty of space for everyone. It was an easy walk down to to the lake on a gently sloping stone driveway. The dock had plenty of space for everyone to sit on the provided Adirondack chairs as well as room for us to set up a canopy for some shade. Water was deep enough to dock a pontoon boat. It was easy to swim right off of the dock, whether jumping into the water or going down the attached ladder. The owner, Gavin, was very helpful and responsive to any questions we had before and during the trip. Would definitely return to this home!

Great Location
The house was large, but a little dated. The location on the lake and lot were awesome. The power went out the first night of our stay. I contacted the owner the next morning and was told that I needed to check the status of the outage on the power company's website. When I went there, I discovered that the outage had not even been reported. So I called the power company and reported it. The representative initially said that they didn't provide service to the address. I found the meter and gave him that serial number and he then found the service account. The company then sent a crew to resolve the issue. I think that shouldn't have been the guest's responsibility to resolve the problem. Weather didn't cooperate, but there were plenty of games and movies to keep everyone satisfied. The wifi was far superior to other Lake Anna homes.

Wonderful views of the lake in a roomy house
Wonderful, peaceful view of the lake. The three common area living rooms makes it easy for people to spread out and relax. Kitchen had everything we needed and the dock and firepit area are wonderful outside living spaces to enjoy. Overall very lovely and we would stay there again. We do, however, also like to give a full balanced reviews for other future renters Items that held it back from a 5-star review from our experience: - Linens were supposed to be there upon arrival, but were not. We contacted the owner a few times until we got him, but then the linens finally did arrive at 9:30 PM. Delayed the kids getting to bed - There were some cleanliness challenges: Cigarette butts, empty cans, corn cobs around property. Rings around the toilets, moldy stains in shower - Assuming we just got a bad luck there -( which can happen sometimes with a rental) there were also a few infrastructure items that prevent it from a 5-star rating in our mind 1) No screens on the sliding glass doors. Have to choose between fresh air and bugs 2) The biggest item is the unsafety of the master bath that has the jacuzzi tub. Trying to crawl in and over the porcelain steps to take a shower when there are no grab handles is an accident waiting to happen. Depending on your age/mobility this one item could be a non-starter for picking this rental above others. 3) The only tv on the main level is in the one mbr..... if you're out on the lake not a big deal at all--- but if its a long rainy week it could be a factor...

Comfortable and spacious home on Lake Anna
We had a great stay here over a long weekend. There are several areas for improvement. I wrote to Gavin right after we got home and he accepted the constructive criticism well so I think he will make needed adjustments. The biggest problem is that he must provide folks with detailed instructions to find the property. Google maps just doesn't work. We arrived very close to the property at 5 pm, but spent close to an hour finding it. This was extremely frustrating. Our son was due to arrive an hour after us, so we were able to guide him in. If he had followed his GPS instructions, he would have had a similar experience. Gavin should also indicate specifically that folks should bring certain items (which in our experience are usually included) such as dish detergent and adequate toilet paper. He should also specific the location of the router and internet password. I had to text him because I couldn't find it. We did love the place overall - I just think he needs to improve his communication. The dishwasher was broken - I suppose that the people before us didn't inform him of this - so not his fault, I would say. I'm not sure how often he comes to the property so that might be reason that he was unaware. Instructions for handling of linens, garbage, etc were excellent. I would recommend house to folks - especially for a large family group in season!

House was great, check in process was seamless, the owner gave detailed instructions how to access the driveway as GPS misroutes you. We were unclear about how to access the kayaks as we only saw one small device on the dock with one life jacket, but besides that everything was great.
