Avis Secluded escape on the lake w/ private dock, large deck, & fast WiFi - dogs OK

Excellent house at the lake. Well equipped. Wonderful location, nice and quiet, good place for family activities, panoramic view of the lake.Dog friendly, Looking forward to book the house in the future. We love it.

Easy, perfect property with awesome dock. Serene setting. You will love it.

We love staying at this property! We've stayed here before and will stay again. We were definitely disappointed in some of the cleanliness this year. It didn't appear as though the sheets were changed. The clean linens were on the front porch for our entire stay but we didn't realize that they were there for our stay until the day we left. The sheets on 2 of the beds were full of dog hair. We don't fault the owners at all...they have definitely made upgrades from last year. We won't hesitate to stay here again in the future.

We stayed and the property for 4 nights and had a blast. The kids loved the lake front and enjoyed the evening fire pit. Very clean and modern farm house stay. Highly recommend to any family who wants to get away and enjoy the lake.

A central place to gather for a family weekend to celebrate Christmas and birthdays for 4 generations to meet for dinner and 3 generations to stay for a few days. The rooms were far enough apart that babies didn't wake up the others. Room enough for all the activities we had planned. Very clean and outfitted with just the basics needed which was great that we didn't have to hover over the younger children to ensure things didn't get broken or moved around. We had a great time!

Beautiful home and property for a fun escape to Lake Anna. The huge back yard and access to the lake are great!

Stunning views, great open space, private, quiet, comfortable home.

Beautiful home, beautiful property! We were initially given the wrong code for the door, but management was very responsive and we got in quickly. We would come back.

First and foremost, working with Vacasa was a horrible experience, and frankly I wonder why VRBO allows them to advertise on their site. They're not owners, and as such are very rigid and hard to work with. When we arrived at the property the code for entry didn't work. So had to spend time on the phone trying to even access the property. Second, When we entered the house, it didn't take long to realize that there was white dog hair everywhere. If you sat down on the couch, and had a black t-shirt on, you were going to have a white back when you got up. I texted Vacasa about it, and they stated they would have someone come out to re-clean. However, that never happened. Third, the shower in the upstairs hall bath didn't work. The handle came off in my friends hand, and it was obvious the property managers knew it wasn't working as there was several screws taken out. Again, I called Vacasa, and again, they did nothing to fix the issue. Fourth, I thought I left a pair of shoes there. I asked Vacasa if they could just ask the cleaners if they saw them. Vacasa stated they charge $25 JUST to ask the cleaners if they saw the shoes!!! Needless to say Vacasa is a insane rip off, and I feel bad for any owners that are using them to manage your property. After all the issues I requested they reimburse some of our money. They stated they would, but shocker, I never heard anything more from them on the issue. A couple of things of Note. - The dock didn't have any cleats on it. Making it incredibly hard to tie up. Had to just use the posts. - The gazebo looked very nice in the pics. However, it was insanely dirty and had an old grill etc. in it. Not actually usable. The house could have been really nice, if it and the property were cleaned and maintained appropriately. The location is really nice in my opinion. I love that side of the lake, and is convenient to the Cove marina etc. It's nicely out of the way and very quiet. Unfortunately, I will not be staying here again unless Vacasa is no longer managing the property. Furthermore, I will not be staying in any more properties that Vacasa manages. They're simply to difficult to work with.

We absolutely loved this home and the property! It was spotless, very organized, spacious and altogether very welcoming. The large property is great for everyone, plenty of space to play ball, badminton, fetch with the pup, bonfire...anything! We enjoyed using the kayaks available in the boat closet/shed down at the dock (and life jackets were much appreciated). We rented a pontoon and had no issues with navigation or docking. Although, fair warning, some rental companies do not advise/allow boats beyond the Days Bridge. If you do rent a boat The Cove was the most convenient (and lowest price) fuel location. Their restaurant & bar was also nice... we did swim a little at the house’s dock but there were algae warnings for that area of the lake, and while every local we spoke to had no concerns, we were a little more cautious. Although we had NO issues the day we swam at the dock and our dog loved it! The Mad Hen bedrooms and bathrooms are very spacious, well appointed and CLEAN. We came in July, so it was very hot and not ideal for sitting on the deck or a bonfire... we were so tired from playing on the lake each day that we mostly came back to the house for showers, cook dinner and relax! If I could make any changes/suggestions, it would be to add a TV in the living room on the main level... there is nowhere for the family to gather to watch movies all together. There is a lower level TV but the sofa/seating doesn’t allow for more than 3 people; so that was something we were wishing we had. The main level living room is beautiful and the sectional sofa is very comfortable! The other thing would be to add a speaker or some type of hookup for listening to music. These two things are the reason for the 4 stars... I loved cooking in the kitchen, but it felt a little lonely when everyone left to a bedroom to relax and watch TV. I used my phone to play music to keep me company. If I was to get super spoiled “picky” I would love a hot tub too, LOL! We absolutely loved the property name, The Mad Hen, and the family history behind it. The home definitely felt welcoming and full of positive energy everywhere! Thank you for a wonderful experience, our very first, at Lake Anna!
