Everything was super old. Bed smelled like a pee. Very dirty and old pots and pans. Everything was extremely old and dirty. Broken microwave. No one enjoyed the stay and some people left early. Bad experience.

It's rough
Just really badly taken care of. You can see the reviews that go back years, the owner just really doesn't care. Most of our crew cut themselves somehow on the terrible deck or the rocks that are used to get up out of the lake. One was borderline stitches, but we had a Dr. with us that could fix it with a butterfly bandage and some time. It's a matter of time before someone significantly hurts themselves and a lawsuit occurs. Such a liability. Inside is relatively nice - stuck in 1991. The wifi/internet is JUST a 4G puck with two bars of signal, so don't intend on doing anything except browsing text-based news. There is mold in the upstairs second bathroom on the ceiling, and the downstairs bathroom is a bit rough. The game room is a great idea, only everything is broken. The foosball table has no foosball, the pool table pockets drop every ball that's shot into them, and the air hockey table has no felt on the handles. All complimented with Toy Story 2 on a VCR. Like other reviews have said, tough to watch what could be at least serviceable with small things like an $80 ladder out of the lake and $20 of game upkeep not happen. But could be really great if someone else owned it. Please clean out the gutters, it's been years. Also note that this is through Vacasa through VRBO. Someone texted/called us multiple times during the 5 days to "check if the TVs work" (they're all tube TVs hooked up to VCRs?) pick up random stuff from the house, etc. Really annoying for no real reason. Don't plan a vacation around this house. But if it's last minute and you have a group like we did? Still don't rent this house.

Perfect Fall/Winter Getaway
This was our 2nd Friendsgiving that we spent here and it was perfect! The location is quiet yet close to a nearby bar and activities. So many board games available to play and everything was clean. Access to the lake is down a long wooden dock that could use some work, but we didn’t mind. Simple spot for a weekend getaway.

BAD DOCK
We had no trouble with cleanliness of the house, the deck has not been clean in a LONG TIME we wiped down table and chairs sweat the deck..( DOCK ) Someone is going to get seriously hurt. My nephews foot went through the rotten wood, right before the two last steps. nails sticking out everywhere.

Dumpy dump hole
Where to begin. First things first. Show up on day one and oven doesnt work. Took 2 weeks to fix. No oven for 2 weeks. Water pressure is incapable of delivering adequate water pressure when 2 locations are being used. How does a house with 5 bedrooms have only enough water pressure for one faucet to be on at a time. Dont plan on taking a shower if your washing cloths. You wont have any water pressure. Literally sat in the shower covered in soap waiting on the washing machine to finish filling before i could rinse off. Horrible. Microwave oven is from the mid 90’s with about 500 watts of power. Takes 5 minutes to heat up a can of beans thats at ROOM temperature. No lie. And dont even think of putting in more than one thing on a plate and expect it to heat up in a timely fashion coming out of the fridge. Deck and exterior: Seriously, someone is going to wind up getting hurt on this property. Just a matter of time. Deck is falling to pieces literally. Chunks missing put of the deck, and the entire thing wobbles back and forth as you walk on it. Same goes for the pathway down to the lake. Someones gonna wind up IN the lake one day mark my words when this montrosity collapsess finally. The roof and gutters havent been cleaned in years. Theres heavy moss growing on whats left of the shingles. The gutters are slammed and overflowing with leaves and sticks. Yard may as well be part of the woods. Hasnt been cleaned in YEARS. Its obvious. Im not talking a season or two of not cleaning. Im talking 5 years plus at least for real. Bulbs burned out everywhere. Batteries in the remotes for the BASIC bottom of the line cable package not working or missing entirely. Ive stayed in a lot of houses on Lake Anna over the years, but this one takes first prize as far as the worst one. All this for a measley 6200 dollars for a months stay. Not worth a quater of that. Do yourselves a favor and RUN, no better yet SPRINT away from this place as fast as you can go. Its a dumpy dump hole.

Beautiful location, lake views
We had a fantastic stay! Well stocked kitchen, clean house with an excellent games room and lakeside dock. Beautiful outdoor seating to revel in the excellent weather. Great location, very close to a grocery store, vineyard, state park for hiking, etc. No problems with check-in or check-out, the property manager was communicative.

Not what it seems
It all started with being given the wrong code for lockbox. I called Vacasa and it was over a 30 minute hold time. Somehow I was able to figure it out. Then the WiFi wasn’t working. I called Vacasa again and was on hold for another 40 minutes only to be told they would contact the property manager. In the meantime, we found out that one of the showers didn’t work and the tub didn’t drain. After about 4 hours and no response from the property manager, I called Vacasa again, was on hold for over an hour, only to be told the same thing - they will let the property manager know. Never heard anything until the next morning. In the meantime, we found that the front door deadbolt didn’t work and there were only 5 forks. Finally heard from the property manager the next morning, he said he would fix everything and then call me back with confirmation. I never heard back from him. We arrived back home that afternoon, he had checked off everything on the list that I had left for him but the only thing fixed was the WiFi. There is also a reason there are no pictures of the outside of the house on the website - it is in a state of disrepair - peeling paint, rotting wood, unkempt grounds. It also would have been nice to know about all of the steps to the dock. We had someone elderly in our party, and it was a challenge to navigate. Dock is not as nice as the picture shows. I requested that someone call me after we left but of course I never heard anything. I will never stay in a Vacasa home again. It was a good thing we never had an emergency - I would still be on hold!

Perfect for our family with kids
Everything was great. The layout of the house and convenience was perfect. We had 6 kids with us, so the big open basement /game room was just what we needed. The only drawback was the advertisement that the property had WiFi, but that was inaccurate. It probably helped us relax and enjoy ourselves, but it did force us to leave the property each day for work purposes. I would definitely go again.
