Check-in and check-out
Check-in is 4 PM, check-out is 11 AM. Entry is keyless with your own door code, so arrive on your schedule; late arrivals are fine. If you'd like an earlier check-in, ask ahead and we'll do our best around the cleaning schedule.
Getting here
Lakewood sits on the quiet public side of Lake Anna, directly across the water from the State Park. You'll need a car, and cell service gets thin near the lake, so download your directions and save your door code before you leave home. Most map apps stop at the start of the gravel driveway. Come all the way up through the trees.
The house is yours. All of it.
Five bedrooms, three and a half baths, an office, and two full levels for up to fourteen guests. Three locked storage spaces stay ours; everything else is open to you, including the main garage and the dock.
Who the house is for
Lakewood hosts up to fourteen guests, with a minimum booking age of 28. No parties or events, no smoking, and no pets. Quiet hours run 10 PM to 8 AM out of respect for the neighbors and the lake.
What's watching, and what isn't
Exterior security cameras cover the outside of the home, and a decibel-only noise monitor measures volume, never conversation. Nothing records inside the house. These protect the home and the quiet that makes it worth booking.
The practical stuff
The house runs on a septic system, so only toilet paper goes down the toilets. Wifi is Starlink, fast enough for video calls and a house full of streaming. There's an EV outlet, parking for six cars in the driveway plus two in the garage, and a washer and dryer downstairs with detergent provided.
The water and the fire
The dock pavilion, the kayaks, the paddle board, and the wood-burning fire pit on the path to the water are yours to use. Keep children supervised near the shoreline and the flames, wear life jackets on the water, and put the fire fully out before you head in for the night.
Lakewood sits on the quiet public side of Lake Anna, directly across the water from Lake Anna State Park. This side of the lake has less boat traffic and cleaner water, and the house itself is tucked into mature hardwoods on nearly two acres, so your nearest neighbor is mostly trees.
The State Park is about four minutes by road, with hiking trails, a swimming beach, and some of the best sunset views on the lake. Lake Anna Winery is eight minutes away for a slow afternoon tasting. For dinner, Callie Opie's is the best table around, twelve minutes from the house and easy with kids in tow. Mineral, the nearest town, is ten minutes out with a Food Lion for groceries, a pharmacy, and Lake Anna Cream and Caffeine for coffee and ice cream. Vito's on Lake Anna covers a casual bite or a beer, and High Point Marina rents boats if you want a day on the water beyond the dock.
When the group wants a bigger day out, Kings Dominion is 45 minutes away and historic Fredericksburg is under an hour. But most guests find the reason they came is already here: the water through the trees, and nowhere to be.
