Step through the front door of this absolutely delightful, lakeside getaway and feel all that stress instantly fade away. Here you'll be embraced by rich, wooden features and decor, and have a host of desirable amenities at your fingertips! Inside, you'll find a well-equipped full kitchen ready to help you whip up delicious, cost-saving meals, a dining table, and a cozy living area with a large sectional sofa, TV, and a warming wood stove. On the lower level, there's a second living area with another TV and wood stove as well as a desk and chair if you need to get some work or remote schooling done while you're away. Head out to the heated and cooled garage game room equipped with Ping-Pong, an air hockey table that can be converted into a pool table, foosball, poker table, and more. And when you want to get some fresh air, this home features a screened-in sunroom, a furnished, wraparound upper balcony and lower deck, a lakeside firepit, and a private dock.

Incredible trip!
Incredible trip! We will definitely be booking this house again. The location and neighbors are wonderful. Only complaints would be the dishwasher wasn’t working, lack of cooking pans and cleaning supplies, and pillows were awful. But we will just bring our own next time.

Great stay!
This home was perfect for bringing our bass boat and practicing for a tournament. Location is wonderful and close to everything you need!! I was very impressed that the sofas had been vacuumed, since this is a home that allows pets - super clean - thank you for that!

Great location, dated amentities
This is a great lake house - great size, excellent dock, wonderful decks. The house needs some basic maintenance and improvements. The lighting was pretty bad. The kitchen lacked silverware and was rather disorderly. The bath and kitchen towels were very worn and in poor condition. The game room was fun but had many broken games. We have fun and it was beautiful on the lake.

Great location
Right on the lake, easy access to lake from home and from dock. House was clean and had all we needed . The game room definitely needs a dehumidifier in it, it smells like it’s at the water. Lot of games even if you don’t want to hang in there. Great area for walking the dog as well. Location is excellent near restaurants and breweries. Quiet location just what I was looking for.

5 star vacation
Great location - able to fish, swim, kayak from the dock. Large yard for games - corn hole, chip and putt. Great house - fit our whole family easily (7 people and dogs), kitchen for making our meals. Has open decks, screened area, outdoor picnic table, fire pit, and kayaks. Short drive to a Food Lion and boat marina for rentals. Wonderful relaxing week! Highly recommend and would return.

Beautiful!
Better days is a beautiful home with a beautiful view. It is well cared for and contains everything you need for a wonderful vacation! There are plenty of kitchen amenities. All you need is the food. There are plenty of linens provided, along with trial size shampoo, conditioner, soap and even blow dryers. The house can sleep at least 12 people comfortably. The game room is a definite bonus, especially for families with children or young adults. The bar and small refrigerator in the game room make it easy to enjoy your time away. There is a list of places to enjoy while on vacation. I would highly recommend The Lake Anna Tap House, Tims restaurant on the water, The Cove at Lake Anna and Coyote Hole Brewery . There are many more places we want to go back and visit. I definitely recommend Better Days for vacation!

Beautiful home and great location!
This home has all you need for a quiet lakeside retreat. The private boat launch is just a few minutes walk from the house and it is a short boat ride to get from the launch to the private dock. It is a quiet neighborhood and not too far from Lake Anna restaurants. We enjoyed sunning on the floating dock during the day and relaxing around the fire pit at night. The game room is in the garage across the driveway with lots of room to play. Kitchen/dining room/living room is open floor plan so feels spacious even with a full house. We would definitely rent this place again in the future!

Great location!
Loved the location for a relaxed lake front visit. Would book again at this location. Issues we had were minor and most were not related to the property itself and in the grand scheme did not adversely impact the great time we had. ( code key not working upon arrival, 45 min wait to resolve with management company) / air conditioning issue but fixed within 2.5 hours/ power outage but fixed within 3 hours. ) ( upstairs shower slow drains so water backs up when taking shower, inner shower curtain could use a little more love, game room was a great concept but not everything was working or in a functioning capacity ( pool table leans to the right so all balls tend right when attempting to play. There are sooooooo many game options though this was very minor for us.) As I said we enjoyed this house and location and would book again.

Spring Break
Overall we loved this property. We travel from ct annually to visit friends in the area and always stay on lake anna. This was our favorite property so far. House was huge and the price point was perfect. You are one mile from food lion and dollar general. I've never stayed that close! Two decks to choose from for enjoying morning coffee. Neighbors were sparse so noise was non existent. There was only one functional pan to cook with and no foil/saran wrap/containers/condiments so we went to dollar general and bought our own. Ice maker worked without issue. Communication with vacasa was awesome- i've never used them before but seemed to have a live person who responded immediately and helped answer our questions. Families with children and/or dogs : the stairs from the kitchen downstairs are extremely steep and narrow. We used a chair to block off the top but a small gate would have been preferred. I would absolutely rent this property again :-)

Awesome
The house was immaculately clean. The technology was awesome and worked well. We didn’t spent a lot of our time at the house but we only had one issue. The freezer wouldn’t make ice but the refrigerator froze all the food on the top and bottom shelves. Frozen carrots instead of ice in your gin and tonic wasn’t ideal. We told the management company about the ice issue but it was never fixed. However, I would book this home again.

Vacasa stay
When we arrived to the property the code given was not working we called Vacasa and they tried to reset it and still didn’t work. We were told there was a lockbox on the property but no one knew where it was located. We were then told a ticket would be placed so a manager could help and they would call me back but could not give me a time frame on when I would receive a phone call. 20 minutes later we called again and spoke with Susan who was AMAZING!!! She was able to reset the code and we were able to get in. Once we got in we realized the house was not cleaned before we came, none of the beds were made the bathrooms were a mess, dishes had grease on them. we had to wash all sheets and put them on the bed. After everything was done the stay was great everything was as described. Overall it was a good stay.

WORST NIGHTMARE “VACATION”
I would be absolutely embarrassed if I owned this property and rented out to people! Maintenance was in the house for the first 3 days and never fixed anything and the only time they told us they were coming was day 1 and didn’t announce what the problem was. Issues during entire or some of stay: dishwasher broken, kitchen sink didn’t drain and disposal didn’t work, washer/dryer didn’t work, locks on doors broken, lights didn’t work, no hand soap, no sponge or dish soap to wash dishes, pilot light on grill and no lighter, smelled like sewage outside, smoke detector randomly went off at all hours, rusty nails popping from steps, no plug for tub, master bed was so terrible I had to sleep on couch, no cleaning supplies and so much more. We asked for a refund to leave early and were going to be completely out of luck and just stayed and left early on own. Trying to talk to Vacasa or management in general was another nightmare. NEVER BOOK HERE!

Great location
Overall we had a great stay. The house is nice and in decent condition, and the location on the lake could not be better. We enjoyed sitting on the deck with our coffee and taking the kayaks out each day. Plenty of space to relax and spread out. The kitchen could use a few more pots/pans and silverware, not much to cook with.The skylight leaked every time it rained so we had a puddle of water in the kitchen each morning.They also could clean the glass does coming into the house and out onto the decks as it didn’t seem those had been cleaned in months.

PERFECT Family get away
Picture sitting around a firepit watching your children jump off the dock into a lake, swinging on a hammock, or kayaking yourself down a huge lake. A huge game room to relaxing in the AC during the hotest points of the day, marshmallows around a camp fire or taking a 2 mile away day trip to a local spot for cider tasting, which is kidand pet friendly. This place was a prefect get away for me and my large family. My husband, myself, my sister-in-law and 7 children had a blast and a not easily forgoten vacation.

Clean, comfortable place. Plenty of room for living, cooking, hanging out. Ample parking space for truck-trailer combos but you have to back in. The good news - it's a straight shot. Convenient location - close to ramps, shopping, area attractions.

(Seen) Better Days
The location was lovely, we had brought our boat so having the private dock and a neighborhood launch ramp was great. The house was nice, but could use maintenance. There were multiple lights not functioning, so the living room was dark. The stairs to downstairs are steep, with narrow treads. Water pressure was poor; only one shower or the dishwasher or the washer could be used at a time so could be challenging for a larger group. There were only 2 dish towels; no hot pads, placemats or oven mitts; we ended up using hand towels to protect the kitchen table from hot dishes and pots. Grocery store is nearby, there is a cidery about 3 minutes away and a winery 6 miles away.

Just what we were looking for
Perfect location on the lake, nice and quiet, cool game room, comforting cabin vibe inside the house, big area to park, and some pretty good fishing around the dock. We caught smallmouth, largemouth, catfish, and bluegill. We even took the kayaks out for some exercise. We didn't see it in the listing, but there is also an oversized chair in the basement that pulls out as an additional sleeper for somebody.... so, there are 2 pullout sleepers in the basement. There is also a nice private picnic & dock/boat launch area on the adjoining street. There is a locked gate you will need a key for. The book in the house is not updated and says it will be hanging in the main floor hallway. Please note, it is not kept there anymore. It will be in a lockbox at the beginning of the driveway (opposite of the mailbox, behind the sign... top lockbox) that you will need a code for. We had to call for the code. We had a blast and may very well visit again.

Quiet and Relaxing
Pros: Met the property owner on the first day (we were a little early) he was very friendly and allowed us to check in early which was really helpful. Enjoyed the firepit and sitting by the lake with longtime friends. Propane and wood for the fire pit were ready to go. Minor Cons: Only minor issues to report but, if you read this and plan on cooking complicated dinners I would recommend bringing your own pots/pans maybe a cutting board etc. There were a couple of minor maintenance issues - The dishwasher was a little wonky (seemed to have trouble draining so we just washed our dishes by hand. The garbage disposal and kitchen sink had trouble draining. Lastly, the downstairs shower knob appeared to be broken or stripped. Overall pretty nice space. My only regret is not getting to try out the gaming room.
