Blue Heron Hideaway is a brand new lakefront home with amazing views on the Private Side of Lake Anna. We have fully equipped the home with everything you will likely need, because our goal is that you just have to pack your clothes, swimming suits, and water shoes. We recently added a 120 foot sandy beach, and a large furnished deck with several outdoor seating options, a screened in patio area, an outdoor bar and outdoor dining.

This home is located on the private side of Lake Anna, which is not connected to the public side. The two sides of the lake are separated by dikes and are not navigable by watercraft. If you plan to bring your personal boat or jet skis, you will have access to the community boat ramp during your stay—from 4:00 PM on the day of your arrival until 10:00 AM on the day of your departure.

Had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful Lake Anna home with my extended family. There was plenty of space for everyone and so many options of things to do at the house, even on a rainy day when being in the water wasn’t an option. I have never stayed in a more well equipped home. They literally thought of everything! Aside from groceries, anything I could think of that I would need was already there. There aren’t many nearby restaurant options so we planned to prepare food at the house most of our time there. The kitchen cabinets and drawers are all labeled to help find things and remember where to put them back which made cooking and clean up easy. Would definitely stay again!

This is a really nice and new rental house for families. It was awesome that they had multiple high chairs, a crib, playpen, multiple hatch machines, a bunch of toys in the basement, kid plates and utensils, etc. The only thing that I would have loved are retractable baby gates but you can't have everything :) The house was super clean when we arrived and there were plenty of beach and regular towels for everyone. They had every paper product and cleaning product so you don't need to bring your own which was great. The beach they added was perfect for my toddler son. Overall a great place to stay.

Staying at the Blue Heron Hideaway checked all the boxes for what we were looking for! It was very relaxing, comfortable, spacious and very beautiful throughout. We were so excited that it was just steps away from its own wide sandy beach with kayaks, a canoe, a paddle board and a fun floating dock, allowing our whole family to be together on the lake at same time! We had so many places to relax and enjoy being together, including a large hammock, a fire pit, and lots of big Adirondack chairs all in a row on the beach. Daniel, our host, was very quick to get back with us on any questions we had and very responsive to help and follow up to make sure our stay was everything we hoped for! And it was! It was hard to leave this beautiful home and setting but we are hopeful to enjoy it again soon!

Fantastic rental! We were unlucky with the weather and didn’t get to take full advantage of the lake area, but the home met our needs and it was amazing to have a crib, high chairs, utensils and toys for the kids already there.

Great communication with managers before and during our visit, gorgeous and spacious house, great beach/lakefront location.

This home & property is exactly as pictured & so much more! The description uses words 'spacious' & 'massive', don't doubt it for one minute! The home is gorgeous & offers so many options to make your time there extra special for everyone! Just choosing where to share family meals was super fun w/so many choices! All easily accommodating 10 ppl! The grands, 6 mts to 10 years were happy at all times w/the variety of indoor & outdoor toys & games! The basement provided much entertainment for the kids & adults! From kitchen items, to beach towels, sound machines to endless baby items, it’s all there! TV on screened porch is a nice touch!! Our host, Daniel was friendly, very informative & quick to answer throughout the whole process. We were even provided w/cell numbers & direct email for emergency communications. They have thought of everything you could possibly want! Kudos to hosts! Spending a week at Blue Heron Hideaway was the best decision & one of the best vacations we've had!

Great and enjoy place!
Erla Martinez
WOW!!!!! Knocked our socks off with the bountiful supplies in the house. Plenty of everything that we needed or even expected with our stay. The house, the deck, the patio tables, the beach, all out door areas made it soooooo relaxing!! We did not have little kids, but couldn’t get over how much Daniel makes space for families!!! We loved the arcade game upstairs - fun touch! We were in love the moment we drive down the driveway!!! ❤️💯❤️💯❤️💯

The place was very well stocked with commodities and necessities alike, providing for those who stayed past the bare minimum. As well as having these and more, it was very well kept and clean. The aesthetics to the home were nice and the furniture had well complimented eaxhother. Being at full capacity was not a worry at all during this trip, a big family along with friends could easily spend their time and sleep here.

Blue Heron Hideaway, April 2025
Blue Heron Hideaway was a wonderful getaway for our two families. We only left to get groceries and visit the nearby public state park. We could have stayed for weeks watching the sunrise and sunset over the water. The location was perfect in a new, quiet neighborhood. The lawn was large enough for sports in the morning and the driveway was used for roller blading in the afternoons. The house had everything we could have asked for back home. We can't wait to go back....!

Blue Heron Hideaway, March 2025
The Blue Heron is an absolutely stunning home on the lake in Mineral, Virginia. The home is beautifully furnished, and the amenities are over the top for a rental property. Loads of indoor toys and games for all ages, and water toys galore too. Our grandsons particularly liked the Pac-Man Arcade game in the upstairs den, and the foosball table downstairs. Plenty of beds and bathrooms for all, and baby equipment as well! Although it was March, the kids loved sitting on the sandy beach…summer renters must love it in warmer temps! Fishing right off the beach was so much fun too!Bottom line- this home will not disappoint. The owner is lovely to work with, and you will be hard pressed to find a more comfortable rental.

All I can say is “wow!” This was by far the best Airbnb experience I have had! The house is beautifully decorated, on a beautiful lot over overlooking a beautiful lake. The house is fully stocked! And when I say fully stocked, I mean, they thought of everything! Kids, toys, extra diapers, high chairs, extra linens, and throw blankets. Every kitchen gadget you can think of: air fryer, slow cooker, electric griddle, fully stocked coffee bar! Two nights was not enough and we look forward to going back in the summer and spending at least four days there. The host was super gracious as we experienced a loss in the family after booking this stay. We requested a later date check in and the host graciously accommodated us. I cannot thank Daniel enough for his generosity.

My family and I had an amazing stay! The house was beautiful, clean, and fully stocked.. from non-tox cleaning supplies, baby essentials, pantry essentials.. they truly thought of everything. Daniel was an excellent host, very responsive and kind, and gave us great recommendations for restaurants to check out, as well as directions. We enjoyed our stay so much, we’d love to plan another trip next year!

Blue Heron Hideaway, January 2025
My friend's and I were truly amazed at our stay here. While the pictures are accurate of the house, it is much more beautiful in person. It was spacious with more than enough room to accommodate my group. The kitchen was large and beautiful. Living space gave us the opportunity to comfortably be together and the various video and card games gave us some entertainment in addition to what we brought (highly recommend playing Codenames). Everyone was able to sleep comfortably and I can not reiterate how gorgeous the master bathroom is. The WiFi was a little slow for us but we connected to a hot spot and was still able to watch TV for some down time. The lake itself is beautiful and I can imagine all the activities you can do in the summer time. We even had the ability to build a bonfire while enjoying the outdoor space amidst the cold. I highly recommend staying here, between a kind and responsive host to a beautiful house for a good price, this was a top tier experience for me!

Hands down the best Airbnb I have lived in! Don’t go by the description or the images, because you’ll be surprised how they just don’t do justice to how gorgeous and thoughtful your experience will be! The hosts are exceptionally welcoming and accommodating, the house is fully stocked with everything a family would need. We were a total of 15 people and we were all able to get a bed to sleep in. The amenities are exceptional and you’ll be sad to go back to reality by the end of it!!

We stayed at this beautiful home for 3 days during winter break. The home is beautifully maintained, and the room setup is perfect for families with 2 of the rooms having a King and bunk beds. Even though it rained a majority of the time we were there, we still had a fantastic time, and the kids stayed entertained with all the games and other activities they had on site.

My family and I just returned from a little slice of heaven! I feel rejuvenated and so relaxed! The pictures didn't do justice on how amazing this place is. It was so spacious that no one was on top of each other. We had enough room to spread our wings. We were able to stretch out because there were more than enough beds, air mattresses, and cribs. The decor is very çhic. The appliances were top of the line. The kitchen is a chef's dream! The pantry was well stocked with all the essentials and even a few goodies. Lake Anna is beautiful, and we were able to go out canoeing on the lake. There was plenty of equipment, including life vests, for all of us to go out together. The porches and outdoor areas were equally comforting and beautiful. In the evenings after dinner, it was game time. There were games provided for all ages. We took full advantage and played well into the wee hours! I've stayed in many Airbnbs, and this is by far the creme-de-la creme. 5 Stars isn't enough.

The home is absolutely gorgeous! Traveling with four generations can be difficult, but when I tell you the house was fully stocked, he has everything from an instapot to car seats. Daniel responded to all my emails within the hour Daniel is definitely the host with the most.

Blue Heron Hideaway, December 2024
We chose this place to stay for 2 nights with our family along with the kids. Definitely great decision, worth the price. Everything was absolutely awesome. The peaceful morning wake up and long evening sitting around the firepit was beyond amazing. We really enjoyed the time with our family there. A big thank you to the host, Daniel. Very responsible and helpful.

Blue Heron Hideaway, November 2024
What a superb vacation house. Everything was immaculate and Daniel was more than accommodating to our wishes. We felt right at home from beginning to end. This may well be the BEST stocked home I’ve ever rented on airBB. From the kitchen to the coffee bar to the bathrooms to the beach, everything you could possibly need is at hand. Laundry detergent? Check. Fancy shampoo and conditioner? Check. Telescoping roasting sticks for s’mores? CHECK. I would return for a future stay in a heartbeat ☺️ Thank you for allowing our family to connect and make lasting memories in your gorgeous home!

Beautiful house and location. Would highly recommend for family's with kids (even young kids.) We visited with our 7 month old and 7 year. And the house was very well set up for the kids. They had several cribs, play pens, and high chairs for little, little ones. And they had lots of kid safe plates, cups and silverware in very easy to access areas. So we were able to travel, without having to pack as much as normal due to the amenities provided for kids at this location (including little games and activities for the kids too.)

EXCELLENT HOST AND BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY! We’ve rented on the lake before but this was by far our best stay. The host is incredibly responsive and accommodating. This home has to be the BEST well-stocked home we’ve ever rented from. They literally have thought of everything and it is incredibly family-friendly. We will be back!!

The house is beautiful, and the location is unbeatable. The kayaks and the stand up paddle board were fantastic. Beds are so comfy. And the common area with the kitchen and family/great room are great.

Blue Heron Hideaway, October 2024
My family and I absolutely loved our long weekend at Daniel’s home. The house is large, well appointed and extremely clean. We especially loved spending time at the large kitchen island and the patio deck overlooking the lake. All of the water toys you may want are available, including canoes and kayaks. Fish can be caught from shore or using the canoe. The kitchen is well equipped and comes with extensive cooking supplies and table wear. The furniture and beds were super comfortable. Daniel was communicative and responsive. I highly recommend.

This is our second stay at this property. We lived on Lake Anna (33) years ago and came back to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The entire property is stunning and the Lake is amazing. Last time we rented a pontoon boat and had a blast fishing and boating. This time we focused on kayaking and fishing. Launching the kayaks from the property's beach area was a breeze. Already planning return visits during Christmas 2024 and October 2025. Daniel is very responsive and helpful!

We spent four nights in this beautiful lake front home with our children and grandchildren, ages 1, 2 and 4.. Everyone had an amazing time and the lake was perfect for the little ones with the warm, calm water. It was an added benefit to have kayaks, SUP, and the swimming dock. The home is very well stocked to cook for a family of 9 and there was a plethora of indoor and outdoor games. We felt very comfortable and took evening walks with the kids to see the deer. Daniel was very responsive with our questions about bringing our boat. Highly recommend this property.

Blue Heron Hideaway, September 2024
Our family of 7 stayed at Daniel’s house on Lake Anna, and let me tell you, this place was stocked better than Walmart on Black Friday. Ever wonder what it’s like to cook with every kitchen gadget ever invented? Me neither—but now I know. They had everything from a waffle maker (which my kids mistook for a toy) to two blenders (because one is never enough). And I have never seen so many varieties of coffee. The pantry was so well-stocked, I’m convinced the hosts must have connections with a Costco executive. Need paper towels? There were so many rolls, we could’ve TP’d the entire neighborhood. And there were enough towels to dry off the entire state of Virginia. The house came with kayaks—plural—so we could glide across the lake like we were in a scene from a nature documentary. There were so many indoor and outdoor activities available that we never heard the words, “I’m bored,” during our stay. We’ll definitely be back—if only to see what new amenities and supplies were added.

Blue Heron Hideaway, September 2024
This home was AMAZING!!!!!! It is a dream home on a lake..... They had every single amenity you could think of. It was VERY clean. Very useable. They were very proactive in communication. Left us a bottle of wine from the local winery. Absolutely could not give a better review for them. Top hosts and top house we've probably ever stayed in. With that said, I would do a little research about Lake Anna in general prior to going. For example, there is a private side versus public side and those water temps are different. This home is on the private side and the water is a bit warmer which we didn't love but not a dealbreaker. We also rented a boat without realizing the public and private are separated by land..... so we all had to drive to the public side to get the boat, but still. So much fun! I'm sure if I had asked the hosts... they would have totally filled us in but I was also not trying to bother them too much! We definitely plan to visit this home again!!

Daniel’s place felt right at home. The home was extremely well stocked and had plenty of extremely helpful baby/toddler amenities like a crib, pack and plays in every room and lots of water toys/life jackets. 4 generations of family enjoyed our stay from beginning to end. Daniel was extremely responsive and gave us insider knowledge prior to our stay when we had concerns about the water itself due to recent news reports. He 100% made us feel comfortable before and during our stay. I’m sure we will be back!

We had a great time at Blue Heron! Daniel was a great host who was super responsive and gave us helpful information on boat/jet ski rentals as well as local stores in the area.

Blue Heron Hideaway, July 2024
Daniel's lake house exceeded my expectations. Initially, I was nervous about coming to the lake due to recent news reports about the water, so I reached out to Daniel. He was very informative and helpful, which put my worries at ease. The house has access to the private side of Lake Anna, meaning less water traffic—a real bonus since we enjoyed using the kayaks provided by the owners. Typically, I pack essentials for our travels, but I didn't need them here. This house is exceptionally well-stocked with everything you might need. The backyard is where we spent most of our time. There's a small man-made beach that leads to the lake and plenty of trees for shade. I was also impressed by the lack of bugs inside the house, considering its lakefront location. The hosts were very responsive and friendly throughout our stay. We had kids ranging from 4 to 16 years old, and they all loved the place. There is so much to do; we didn't feel the need to venture into town for entertainment.

This is a perfect place to take family and friends on Lake Anna. The house has every amenity you could need and a lot of open space. They had a travel crib, high chair, and lots of baby gear. It's right on the lake with a little beach that's perfect for adult soaking or kid swimming. Daniel was very responsive. Would highly recommend this house and hope to return!

My stay at Daniel's lake house at Lake Anna was absolutely fantastic! From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the stunning views and serene environment. The house itself is immaculate, well-maintained, and equipped with all the amenities one could need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Daniel was an exceptional host, always responsive and attentive to any questions or needs we had. He provided great local recommendations and made sure we felt right at home. The lake house was perfect for both relaxation and fun, with plenty of outdoor space for activities and cozy indoor spaces for unwinding. I particularly enjoyed the easy access to the lake and the private dock, which made for great mornings and evenings spent by the water. The kitchen was well-stocked, making it easy to cook meals, and the bedrooms were comfortable and inviting. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

We enjoyed a special birthday at this house pre-season- everything as expected with prompt communication and accommodation of our needs. Beautiful views and peaceful surroundings. A house was being built nearby but noise was not bad. Plenty of room to accommodate a large family, and lots of toys for water fun. I would recommend to others and hopefully return again.
Kimberly Carpenter
Beautiful home with convenient, private access to the lake. Daniel responded quickly when we ran into a small issue during the stay. The group had a great time here and we plan on returning in the summer!
Jennifer Wu
GPS did not recognize the address. There was some construction on the roads to the property which made navigating a little tricky. However, Daniel had provided some directions in one of his emails so I was able to work around that. The house is absolutely stunning and we will be returning!
Emily Bucci
Very nice home on the lake. Great for groups to spend time and take advantage of the location. Would stay there again!
Blake Randolph
Daniel is a great host. He is very understanding and always there help to ensure the stay was nice and comfortable. I will visit this place again as I like the host and the place.
Vaibhav Patel
Great place with a lot of space and amazing views. The host was very kind and made sure our stay was wonderful

Our stay here was AMAZING! My family(which is huge) had plenty of room to stay comfortably and there was plenty to do. The generosity of the host in the fully stocked kitchen and the huge variety of water toys was a huge bonus! Honestly, nothing was lacking. Daniel was responsive and helpful and takes great care of the property. Would stay here again in a heartbeat! The private beach was beautiful. The space was so clean and comfortable. It’s a great neighborhood with a decent amount of local things to do but you almost don’t need that because there’s so much to do at the house itself!

We had a great 2-night stay, the backyard and lake were beautiful
Dillon Megard
Blue Heron Hideaway, April 2024
We will 100% be staying here again! Not only was the place the best house I’ve ever rented the host was phenomenal! I can’t say enough good things about Daniel and Blue Heron. The house felt like home with the amount of amenities and everything you could ever need as a family with or without children! Daniel himself was so responsive when I had a few questions and went above and beyond to help. The lake front with all the canoes, toys, and life jackets for every size was one of our favorite parts. As well as the games and puzzles for our rainy day inside. Everything was clean and the beds were so comfortable! Loved the layout for multiple families to stay at once SUPER comfortably. Can’t wait to come back!!!

Blue Heron Hideaway, April 2024
We could not have asked for a better host, home, or location for our spring break trip. Daniel was super responsive and helpful and the house was stocked with everything we could need - from oil, spices, and tons of coffee pods in the pantry to a high chair, pack n play, and lots of books and toys for the littles to play with. The house also offers a dozen different life vests so our group of 8 could go out on the water in kayaks feeling safe and secure the whole time. The house has a private beach where our kids could play and a small fire pit so we could roast s'mores at night. Even though we went in late March and the temps were in the 50s, the water was warm enough to play in. The house is a 20 minute ride from Lake Anna State Park so we were also able to go on some family hikes and there are wineries and breweries close by as well. If you are looking for a quiet escape from your fast paced life, stay at Blue Heron Hideaway! You won't regret it.

Andrew Wiegand
Blue Heron Hideaway, March 2024
Daniel’s place was the perfect peaceful getaway with friends. We arrived and were blown away by this beautiful home! The illuminated driveway safely guides you to the front door, then you walk through the front door into an open oasis on the lake. The lake is visible through floor to ceiling windows and doors from every angle of the house and the kitchen and great room with fireplace are elegant and cozy. The weather was perfect and we were able to enjoy the outdoor spaces. Daniel has the kitchen and pantry stocked to the point that we really didn’t need to purchase anything except what we needed for meals, all of the utensils, spices, and hardware was already provided. We have found a great getaway spot for future family gatherings
Colby Hill
Blue Heron Hideaway, March 2024
The Blue Heron Hideaway exceeded our expectations and was even more amazing in person! The home is absolutely beautiful, the property and lakefront are stunning! We were so comfortable during our stay, everything about the home is convenient, modern, up to date and clean. One unexpected bonus was how well stocked the kitchen and entire home was…there was literally everything there to enjoy a wonderful vacation! We felt right at home in so many ways. The host truly goes above and beyond to provide endless amenities. Our family really enjoyed every part of our stay!
Jeffrey Spranger
Blue Heron Hideaway, March 2024
The house truly lives up to ALL its hype. It's a stunning house with tons of activities for kids and family. The house is so beautifully decorated and kept extremely clean. Dan/Zach were very responsive to every inquiry I had, and super friendly. We especially loved how kid friendly the house was for my toddler (crib, pack n play, high chair, bibs, kid utensils, toys) so we didn't have to worry about packing our entire house to bring there! I only wish that it didn't rain so that we could have enjoyed the outdoor amenities (fire pit, beach, lawn games, etc). However, we were pleasantly surprised at how much there was to do INSIDE the house while we were rained out for the majority of the time there. My family loved the memories we made there during our short weekend getaway and everyone is already talking about coming back. Thank you Dan!

This was a well-appointed, spacious home with beautiful views of Lake Anna.

Esteffany Garci
Blue Heron Hideaway, January 2024
In my opinion, we paid quarters on the dollar for how nice of a property we got to stay at. Not only was the house itself very nice, it had plenty of amenities both inside and outside the home to keep you occupied during your stay. Daniel was also extremely responsive and helpful. 5/5, would recommend to anyone who was considering staying here, especially larger groups.

Eunice Rhee
Blue Heron Hideaway, January 2024
I’m gonna be 100% honest. This is the BEST hosting I’ve been too. Let me get started. We arrived at the destination and the pictures matched the photos. The rooms were spacious and there was so much amenities in the kitchen and bathroom. We honestly didn’t even need to bring anything. The host was understanding of our late check out time and the views were amazing. Daniel recommended some nearby stores that we can go to to get things and the house was just honestly such a vibe. Will be back for sure!!

Dylan San Gabriel
Blue Heron Hideaway, January 2024
We were looking for a large space to house a group of friends, cook some epic meals, and enjoy each other's company. Immediately when I booked the place, Daniel was in communication with us and asked what could be done to accommodate our group. He responded to messages very quickly and with great information. Check in was a breeze with the keypad lock. The listing was very accurate in what was provided. Our group loved everything about the house. Especially the kitchen that is stocked. The coffee and tea bar with wine fridge was a nice touch for our coffee drinkers. The outdoor space was beautiful and would really be wonderful during warmer months. The basement has great activities for children and did a good job of entertaining them while adults were cooking or engaged in different activities. There's so much that was wonderful about this place that it can't fit here. I highly recommend this place.
Joshua Trivett
Blue Heron Hideaway, December 2023
Danials home at Lake Anna was excellent! The pictures didn't do justice for the property. It was bigger in person. We came for my daughter's birthday and thay had a blast. Anything we could think about they had it. I forgot marshmallow roasting sticks they had some, I forgot my waffle maker they had one, we forgot our lighter they had one, plus games gallour! Also what was amazing to me is I have a 19 month baby and I remember thinking it would have been nice if I could have brought his crib. THEY HAD ONE!!!!!! If your looking for grade A stay this is the place. To top it all off Danial was very kind and understanding when I had to make a change to my guest number. My family and I truly enjoyed our stay and God willing we will be back. Just go see for yourself!
Courtney Drayton
Blue Heron Hideaway, December 2023
Hands down one of my favorite Airbnb destinations! The pictures are amazing and somehow they still don’t do the home justice. There’s so much to do at the house and the town is quaint and peaceful. Our host, Daniel, was amazing in organization, communication, and friendliness!

Eliza Huie
Blue Heron Hideaway, December 2023
Daniel was responsive and friendly. His home was as pictured, stocked very well with coffee, tea, even some creamer (which we forgot to bring), including plenty of back-stock for the household essentials (ranging from trash bags, to more coffee pods, dish and laundry detergents, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, cotton swabs, sponges, etc., so you didn’t have to worry about running out during your stay! Blue heron was also loaded with fun family entertainment (board and garden games, tv services, etc.) and there was plenty of cut firewood prepared outdoors for cold night bonfires. The lake was gorgeous, and surprisingly warm! Daniel even had kayaks ready for use on the private beach. We heard a fish jump and saw several herons while exploring the lake. The lake was also nice and private. The home had beautiful views of the lake, and there was decent takeout with a variety of good options around a 20min drive away. Our family of four had a lot of fun and wished our stay was longer!
Tunay Ozcan
Blue Heron Hideaway, December 2023
Really enjoyed our family stay in mid November. Weather was warm enough for us to enjoy the clean lake at the private beach. Lots of space for kids to run around. Daniel was very helpful and responsive. Would love to come back for another stay during summer. Highly recommend for family with kids!

Blue Heron Hideaway, December 2023
Daniel was an exceptional host! Communications were very helpful and pleasant. He was very responsive, kind, and helpful! He gave us great local recommendations. The property was just perfect! We were there with two very active toddlers and a newborn; the house was equipped with everything we might need for the kids, from basic care to entertainment. We truly had the best time at the beautiful and peaceful home. It was super clean and the kitchen was just marvelous, everything we need and many more… We will definitely go back!

Bridget Fitzpatrick
Blue Heron Hideaway, November 2023
Daniel's Blue Heron home was perfect! Even with frost and freeze warnings at night, the lake was warm enough to swim in - in November! Daniel provided all the amenities you could want, and SO MANY you can't even think of! The house is well stocked in every area. We enjoyed lake views on the deck, gathered around the fire pit, and some of us jumped off the huge floating dock. We paddled across the lake in canoes and kayaks, and tried our hands at paddleboarding and fishing. The kids built sandcastles on the private beach, and we even set up our pickleball set in the massive paved driveway! We enjoyed so many firsts, and we will definitely be booking again in the future! Thanks for making it a memorable trip!

Most wonderful weekend getaway! We had a wonderful time in Daniel’s place. Clear check in instructions, beautiful home inside out. The house had everything we needed and more.

We drove down from PA. The weather was great and the lake water was very warm! We ate way to much good food and watch the Hobbit Trilogy with the kids! Highlight of the trip was that we all swam across the lake from ages 9 - 59! Was a great time and are hopefully looking forward to returning soon!
Alyssa Shoemaker
Blue Heron Hideaway, September 2023
We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday with friends and family! The house has plenty of room, is well-maintained, and located just off the water. There are all sorts of toys, games, canoes, and outside activities, but there is also plenty to do inside on those rainy days. Would definitely recommend this house for special occasions or when you just want a weekend to get away. The owner was also very flexible with us in order to accommodate a few things with our guests.

Such a beautiful house in a great location. There is something to do for all ages. Enough rooms to have the entire family. My trip was centered around local golf courses but you could spend the entire time in the house or by the beach and have something to do for day! I would come back again for sure.

Blue Heron Hideaway, July 2023
Daniel's lake house is beautifully appointed and the most well stocked airbnb we've ever stayed in. They have literally thought of everything one might need. We forgot to bring our sound machine but found one in every bedroom! There were so many indoor and outdoor toys for the children to play with that kept them entertained for days. The kayaks and water toys provided were so much fun! The kids loved playing in the sand. We enjoyed bonfires and dinners out on the porch. It rained a ton over our trip, but there was plenty of space for our large extended family (4 generations!) to spread out and convene. We did find a tick on one of the children one day, but if you forget bug spray they have you covered. The beds were comfortable and the kids loved the bunk beds. There was plenty of room for all of us. Overall, we really enjoyed our time at this lake house. Thanks again!
Laura Labovitz
Blue Heron Hideaway, July 2023

We will definitely be coming back in the future!

From the well-equipped kitchen to the cozy living spaces, we had everything we needed. The host went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and convenience. We had an incredible time playing games.

What a wonderful house! Our group of 13 had a great time enjoying Lake Anna and all the home included. There were activities for the kids, relaxing spaces and views for the adults, and plenty of room to spread out. The house had everything we needed and more, and Daniel was very accommodating and helpful with all of our questions. The kitchen was easy to cook in, and the coffee pods were such a nice bonus. I especially appreciated the comfortable beds with soft bedding!
Liz Hollyman
Daniel's place was one of our families most favorite destinations on Airbnb so far. The house matched all the photos for accuracy and cleanliness. The host was always around to assist with the house and give advice on local things to do. The garage was full of activities if you didn't want to leave the house. The selection on coffee's and tea's were excellent for breakfast or a pick me up. If there was something our whole family agreed on, it would be the above excellent experience we all had at Daniel's home.
Ben Atwood
Daniel was a great host and very responsive. Location was great getaway with access to private beach. Home was well equipped with everything one would need to have fun and kitchen was stocked with all needed for cooking .

This house is amazing. All needed amenities plus more you didn't know you needed. Gorgeous lakefront setting, ample space for sleeping, parking, socializing. Couldn't ask for anything more. Extremely personable & responsive host. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.
Clare Sabio
Daniel’s place was absolutely gorgeous. We completely enjoyed our stay and spent lots of time outside at the lake and playing games in the yard. Our teenagers loved all the water toys and the canoes/kayaks/paddle board. And all the extras that Daniel has provided is most impressive. Kitchen is beautiful and spacious… definitely felt luxurious to us! Overall it was an amazing time in an amazing house. We hope to be back!!
Wes & Michelle White
My friends and I had an amazing stay at Daniels place! It was stocked with everything we could need and more. The garage was filled with water toys and games..we never ran out of things to do. I highly recommend this house!

Stop looking and start booking. You won’t find a better host or more thoughtfully stocked property than this one. Daniel makes traveling with kids a breeze and you’ll never run out of things to do on site. Everything is as advertised, from the views to the water toys to the linens. We’ll be back!
Jeff Jacobs
Daniel was an incredible host and his home was absolutely perfect for our company retreat. He was incredibly helpful, kind, and responsive. The home had genuinely every amenity possible, and we thoroughly enjoyed using all the water sport equipment in the lake. The house was spotless and beautiful. We will certainly be returning for another stay in the future, we LOVED this airbnb! Thank you Daniel!

One of the best Airbnbs I have ever stayed in! Beautiful, brand new house. Gorgeous lake. Great for relaxing and active fun. What really sets this place apart is how unbelievably well-stocked it is. Whether you’re here for a getaway or with a gaggle of kids like us, you will find everything you could need. There are high-end items like pour over coffee supplies, as well as a garage full of canoes, lifejackets, toys, books, so many games and toys to keep the kids busy and happy while you relax! They have truly thought of everything - there’s even bibs for small ones! And the beds are comfy. We plan to be back!

Zakia Reese
Blue Heron Hideaway, April 2023
Absolutely the best stay at an Airbnb we’ve ever had. The house is just as pictured, almost felt unreal. Daniel is so responsive and helpful on all fronts! Not only is this house so thoughtfully stocked- when I asked about a particular item he had it on the door step in 2 days. Remarkable. As a mom I cannot express how much I enjoyed the thoughtfulness of a well stocked house! If we weren’t in DC for the day sight seeing (a short 2 hr drive) we were enjoying the serenity of Lake Anna and the private beach in the back yard- breath taking!! I’m already looking for reasons to come back to Daniel’s place! Thanks again Daniel. Impeccable stay!

Great place for a group, came very well stocked and had no issues with appliances, etc. A lot of space including a big kitchen. The guest wifi was a little spotty but there were multiple networks available so did not turn out to be an issue. Highly recommend!
Matt Ziegelstein
Blue Heron Hideaway, April 2023
Daniel our host was very responsive and helpful. His place is very well equipped from the generous coffee bar to the whole garage full of beach and lake toys. Home has a great open floor plan with a huge kitchen and many windows to enjoy the fabulous view of the lake and private beach. The neighborhood has many new homes and a nice private dock and boat launch. The overall area is very rural and you will need to drive some to get to restaurants and other activities. Overall Daniel’s place is fabulous and he strives to give you a five star experience. We would definitely back.

This home was better than advertised....very roomy, pristine lake views, great kitchen w/ HUGE island, everything is new, very clean, extremely well- provisioned, abundant parking area for multiple cars. Our host, Daniel, could not have been more accommodating or easy to communicate with. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and we will definitely be going back. I hesitate to write this review for selfish reasons, because this home is going to be booked solid once the good word gets around about it.
John Liberty
Blue Heron Hideaway, March 2023
The pictures looked gorgeous and our stay lived up to it. The house was completely stocked with every kitchen gadget you could ever need. It was very kid friendly with toys, puzzles and lots of supplies for those with littles (pack and plays, step stools, kid utensils, etc.). We have stayed in a few places on Lake Anna over the years and this place was definitely one of the very best.

Ranks as one of my top and most peaceful Airbnb stay to date. Every detail in the space was thoughtfully designed and considered with the guest in mind. And as a host, Daniel was timely, accommodating and most of all, welcoming.

We had an amazing time there! Our group was 4 families: 7 adults and 4 kids. All kids were crazy about the house and wanted to stay there forever. The house was totally gorgeous! Their kitchen had everything! You don't need to bring anything to cook, other than the food materials. They had so many plastic containers and zip locks so it was so convenient for us to store any left over food while staying there. All beds, linens, furniture, blankets, towels were clean and good quality. They had good quality shampoo, conditional, body wash etc. in their bathrooms. The best part was their view!! I bet this house has the best view in this community! There was this cute little beach to the lake in the backyard and our girls had great time playing there with beach toys they found in the garage. We could find absolutely everything we needed for the vacation in this house. All of us are already thinking about finding another time to go back there.

This house was exactly as described and photographed. Immaculate, modern and comfortable. Abundantly stocked with everything you could need, especially coffee 😉 I was hosting a wellness retreat for woman, but will absolutely go back with my family.

My family and I only had a few days for a small getaway and was looking for something relaxing and easy. This location surpassed anything we could have hoped for. Every detail in the house is geared towards guests and a need they may have. The home itself is gorgeous and i told my husband when we build, i want ours to be just like this one. The view at sunrise and sunset are something I would never get tired of seeing. The host was very helpful and providing answers to any questions I had. We will absolutely be booking this property again.

This place is phenomenal!!!! The views surrounding the house are stunning. The house itself is a dream home!!!! Everybody had a great time , and our group included a toddler, two teens and the rest were adults : everybody had something they loved about the house ! The way the house flows from The kitchen to huge living room is so welcoming for gatherings ! Although we went during winter season , we still took the kayaks out on the lake , and it was worth it!!!!! We were so excited that the place offered the equipment! There’s not one thing this place has not thought of to meet It’s guests need! Not one ! We want to return during summer season to explore the lake a bit more . We highly recommend this place! All 11 of us :)

Wow what a beautiful week we just had! Daniel had everything that we needed and more. So many things to do even when it was cold outside! An awesome kitchen with all the tools and gadgets! Plenty of games to play and toys for the kids and babies to play with. Moms don't have to over pack to come here! I really appreciated the natural soaps and cleaners they provided. The house, linens, and towels smelled clean and with no over bearing chemical fragrances which is helpful for my sensitive nose! We came during the winter time and had a blast and we would love to come back during the summer to enjoy ALL outdoor summer toys! Thanks Daniel for a lovely weekend!

A large group of my friends rents a cabin every year between Christmas and New Years. This was our first time at this location. The house had incredible amenities and plenty to do if you’re shacking up for a few days like we were. Everyone was able to sleep comfortably and we had plenty of games and activities available. Unfortunately, there was very noisy construction going on next door that was disruptive to our stay. We chose this stay because of the views and privacy so we were disappointed by how close in proximity the noise and construction scene were to us during our time there. Daniel was very communicative the entire stay and it was clear he wanted his renters to have the best experience possible. 5 star communication on his part. My friends and I agreed this wasn’t the remote and rugged cabin experience we were hoping for, but we had fun just being in a space that could comfortably accommodate us all. Would be interested to return in the summer to use the lake amenities.

You feel that you are on the lake, the view from the kitchen, living room are stunning. Daniel’s house is gorgeous and spacious. Great layout, very well decorated, had everything we could possibly need during our stay. Easy access, calm community, private, nice appliances and gadgets, everything was functional. Spotless clean, very well supplied, we had a great time. It was freezing cold outside but super nice inside with the big fireplace in the living room. Need to make plans to be there during summer and enjoy the huge deck, fire pit, beach area and the lake. We will recommend this place to anyone seeking comfort and relaxing time right on the lake. Daniel was super attentive, one of the best Airbnb stays we have experienced.

Daniel’s home is stunningly gorgeous. The lot is one of the best situated on the water in this stylish, quiet, friendly neighborhood and part of Lake Anna. The home is spacious yet cozy, warm and welcoming. It is generously stocked with anything you could possibly need. Daniel was so responsive and helpful. He went out of his way to accommodate our needs. I really appreciate their kindness and warmth.

Simply put, we can't wait to stay here again. This is an absolute gem, just a gorgeous house in a wonderfully peaceful and serene setting. We were here in December, but seeing all the water sport equipment available, and the boat dock that is SO close, we would absolutely bring our families back to stay in the summer! This house is impeccably clean, brand new, with absolutely every amenity you could need for a great vacation on Lake Anna. The hosts are super communicative, friendly, and the whole experience was perfect.

This Lake Anna getaway was the perfect home and location for our family vacation. We enjoyed stunning views of the lake, nature walks, drives around the area, Sunday afternoon football and World Cup games by the indoor gas fireplace and more. We made big home-cooked dinners and were able to find everything we needed and more stocked in their beautiful kitchen. Everything was so clean, organized, spacious, relaxing, and nicely decorated. Daniel, the host, is great at communicating and answered any questions we had within an hour! Thank you for the wonderful stay- we’ll definitely be coming back to enjoy it all in the summer next time!

Daniel's amazing home was perfect for our family vacation. We enjoyed the beautiful view of the lake, the well stocked kitchen and supplies, and the games/puzzles in this beautiful home. Daniel's thoughtfulness, responsiveness and overall communication make him the best host. We hope we can visit again in warmer weather so we can enjoy the lake and all this home has to offer!

Blue Heron Hideaway is one of the best places to relax and appreciate nature. Daniel, the host, maintains the home impeccably clean and provides everything you need to have a truly unforgettable experience. Daniel was great at communicating with us from our arrival through our departure. Daniel is the best host we have ever experienced and we have been blessed to stay in his home.

We had an unforgettable stay!! This home is not only gorgeous but also had complete supplies and lots of activities :) We enjoyed the board games, foosball table, kayaks, and fire pit. There’s also a beach area where we got to swim :) The view of the lake from the living room is amazing! The kitchen is spacious, and we were all able to cook and share our meals together. Additionally, Daniel (the host) kept constant communication throughout our stay. He was very helpful and understanding, and made sure that we all had a good time. We would love to come here again, and we are definitely recommending this place to anyone we know!! :)

Thank you for a great weekend!! Blue Heron Hideaway was a wonderful house!! Brand new. Stocked with everything you could ever need and more!!! Very comfortable beds. Plenty of room. Beautifully decorated. We really appreciated and enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards. We relaxed by the fire pit every night!!! Close to great hiking at the state park. We also enjoyed visiting the Lake Anna Taphouse and had a great dinner at Callie Opies Orchard. Daniel was a great host and we hope to be able to visit again sometime soon. Highly recommend!!

The house was stunning, private, and beautifully decorated. We used the canoes to stroll the lake, rented a boat, and fished. The views of the lake from the deck and shoreline were amazing. Daniel was always available to answer any questions before and during our stay. It was a perfect getaway!

SPECTACULAR stay! I rented the place for my honey to relax after returning from Italy so I could ease her back into the "real world" lol! Daniel's place was the perfect place to stay and she enjoyed it. From the moment you walk in the front door, the view of Lake Anna will pull you all the way to the deck and before you know it you will be relaxing on one of the chairs sipping a glass of Lake Anna wine! He has everything you will need during your stay except your clothes and groceries. There is a plethora of board games and outdoor water sport equipment (for the warm/hot stays). The kitchen is beautiful and you will want to make a gourmet meal just to use the stove. And don't forget the wine because there is a chiller waiting to get your wine at the perfect temperature. I can go on and on so I will stop now but just don't think twice, book now or you will miss out!

Absolutely wonderful! The house was fully stocked with anything you could think to need. The water equipment was in great condition, and the house was situated on the perfect spot on the lake. This house is a perfect weekend waiting to happen - just add guests and some food! Daniel was also very responsive and checked in on us throughout our stay. He even sent over some suggestions of events happening in town and some restaurants to stop by! Cannot recommend enough.
