Lake days, done properly
Wake & Lake LKA sits right on the water on the private side of Lake Anna, where access is limited to waterfront owners and their guests. That means calmer water, quieter coves and no public-beach crowds. Mornings start with coffee on the covered porch; afternoons are for the beach, the paddleboards and the swim area; evenings belong to the boathouse.
Inside, the main floor opens to the lake through three sets of sliding doors. The kitchen is built for a crowd, with an oversized island, Shaker cabinets and Samsung appliances, a dining table for 12 and outdoor seating for 16 on the porch next to the 8-person hot tub.
We're a Virginia family and we run the house ourselves, with a local house manager. When you book here, you're talking to the people who actually know the house and the lake.

The boathouse
We rebuilt it from the deck up: new decking, a screened-in lounge, a counter with a drinks fridge, new lighting and a built-in stereo. Eat dinner over the water, keep the cold drinks a few steps from the swim area, and stay out long after dark.
The home's exterior was refreshed this year too.

The location
Wake & Lake is in Bumpass, Virginia, on the private side of Lake Anna. The private side tends to be calmer and less crowded than the public side, and its water stays warm well into the fall. Marinas, waterfront restaurants, wineries, golf and Lake Anna State Park are a short drive away.
It's an easy trip from Richmond, Fredericksburg and Charlottesville, and close enough to Northern Virginia and Washington, DC for a weekend. You'll want a car; the full address and directions are sent after booking.
Traveling with a bigger group?
We host three homes side by side on the private side of Lake Anna. Book Wake & Lake together with Wine Down next door for up to 38 guests.
Good to know
Check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is at 4:00 pm and check-out is at 10:00 am. Entry is by smart lock with a personal code sent on arrival day, and our house manager is happy to walk you through the house.
Can we bring our dog?
Yes. One dog under 20 lbs is welcome.
Is there a minimum age to book?
The primary renter must be at least 25.
Can we bring our own boat?
Yes. There's a private concrete deep-water boat launch right on the property, so you can put your own boat or jet skis in without driving to a public ramp, and the boathouse dock easily ties up 2 boats overnight (3 if needed).
Can we host a celebration?
Smaller gatherings are possible with approval. Send us an inquiry through the booking form before you book and tell us what you're planning.
Why book here instead of Airbnb or Vrbo?
Same house, same team, but you deal with us directly and you don't pay the booking platforms' guest service fees.
