Property

The house is more beautiful than the pictures and the location right on the lake is amazing. It’s so clean and new feeling and the house has everything you could need. Plus, the beds are very comfortable. I did want to make others aware that although the house is perfect, the neighbors on one side of the house disrupted our stay. They came onto the property and were aggressive with us and impolite over a very tiny matter. However, the owners were incredibly responsive and helpful in solving the problem when we notified them so I don’t blame the owners one bit.

Great house, with a beautiful view of the lake. Our group of nine were very comfortable in the five bedrooms -- each with its own lake view and bath, which is a real plus. We found everything we needed -- plenty of silverware, plates, pots and pans, etc., not to mention the kayaks and paddleboat, even firewood. And there was plenty of room for activities outside. This may not be clear from the pictures, but we set up badminton, cornhole and croquet in different parts of the lawn, and there was room to spare. Communication with the hosts was super quick and friendly. We'd definitely stay again!

This house was the perfect getaway for our group of 10! It was easy to find, and check-in was a breeze. The home was spacious and comfortably accommodated everyone. Everything worked flawlessly — from the hot tub and kitchen appliances to the TVs and even the Pac-Man arcade machine— which made our stay even more fun and that more enjoyable. The property itself is beautiful, with easy access to the lake — a huge bonus. It’s truly the perfect spot at Lake Anna to relax, unwind, and enjoy all the comforts of home.

Daniel’s home was beautiful, and perfect for families - great indoor and outdoor activities. Daniel was very communicative and responsive. We’d stay here again!

Great place!

Carla Ventura

Hemlock Haven, April 2025

We had a fantastic time at the house. It was an adults getaway weekend, so having every bedroom, have an attached bathroom was a huge plus. I also enjoyed having the two living rooms as gathering spaces. The grill outside was large and excellent. Plenty of room on the main floor due to the open Floorplan and screened-in porch being right there. Couldn't recommend this place more!

Maddy Eure

Hemlock Haven, April 2025

I stayed in this home for a month with zero issues. Daniel was super responsive when I had questions. Everything was as described and in working condition.

Chris Michaud

Hemlock Haven, March 2025

This home was the perfect getaway for our weekend couple get away. The home was amazing and exactly as described. 5 couples and each couple enjoyed their suite! The ambiance was the perfect setting for family style eating, games and deep conversations! Daniel was VERY RESPONSIVE to every question I asked within minutes! I definitely would recommend! We are already planning to return for the summer or the fall for Part 2 of our getaway. Since we came during the winter, we didn’t get a chance to enjoy the outside amenities. But the fire pit looked very inviting and the lake looked so peaceful! Again if you’re looking for a quick getaway for family, couples, friends etc., this place should definitely be at the top of your list. Thank you Daniel!!!

Mitchell Bowman

Hemlock Haven, February 2025

This house was the perfect spot to get away. We enjoyed being right on the water, kayaking, and the hot tub! They really had thought of everything - the kitchen was well stocked and all of the rooms were really nice with their own bathrooms. Only regret was not staying longer.

Amira Ayad

Hemlock Haven, January 2025

Our stay was perfect! The house, the view, the amenities all 5 stars!! Every room had a comfortable bed with quality linens, and a full bathroom thick large towels. The kitchen had everything you'd need for preparing meals and then some! We loved the game closet too, right out of toys r us! The boat, kayaks and paddle board were so fun they made for a great adventure! Pickleball rackets for the court was so thoughtful, Daniel responded within 20 minutes when I needed help with the code to get into the court! We will definitely be back and we hope in the summer! Definitely everything they said it was!!!

Deena Casalengo

Hemlock Haven, December 2024

The house was absolutely beautiful my family had plenty of space and things to do between the fire pit, kayaks, and games downstairs we never left the house. The place was prestige the appliances are top line and everyone slept amazing in the comfortable beds. Will definitely stay again and would love to experience in Spring or Summer. The hosts were always responsive and kind we didn't have any issues but they checked in and provided local recommendations for our holiday stay. Great hosts.

Chase Green

Hemlock Haven, December 2024

If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway in the DMV area , this is for you!!We had an amazing time with friends, and the home provided the perfect backdrop for our getaway. If you like to cook, no need to worry about utensils / pots and pans (the kitchen is completely set up). The response times were amazing when we needed anything from Daniel! 1000/10 I definitely recommend. The accommodations were comfortable, and we truly appreciated all the thoughtful touches that made our stay even more enjoyable. From the beautiful views to the cozy atmosphere, everything was perfect.

Makelle Knight

Hemlock Haven, December 2024

Daniel was super responsive when we were considering booking the home. The house was extremely clean and beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. We would definitely stay there again.

Brenda Lewis

We loved staying at this beautiful property for our family Thanksgiving. Our needs were met with this lovely home, especially with 10 of us from 3-65. We will definitely try to come back to this one.

Mary Underwood

The views of the lake at sunrise are awesome.

Ted Sumners

Hemlock Haven, November 2024

My family needed a quick uncomplicated getaway to just chill and spend time together. We are from MD so it was a short drive for all of us. Our group was grandparents, adults and one 2.5yo. This property accommodated everyone. Even my dad who can’t walk long distances was comfortably able to stay in one of the basement level bedrooms which didn’t even feel like a basement since it is walkout level with so much amazing light and a lake view. the kitchen was fully equipped for us to cook every night. The fire pit was perfect for s’mores and wood was provided. We utilized the paddle boat, SUP, canoe and kayaks with ease. The air hockey and foosball tables were an added bonus! The laundry was more than adequate. Parking was easy. The nearby playground was a quick walk and helped tire out our toddler daily! We took a 1 hr day trip to Richmond and another day trip to Charlottesville Both were easy to navigate and a fun excursion. Our host Nick was very communicative, gave great regional info and answered questions super fast. We would definitely stay here again.

From the moment you enter the front door of Hidden Cove you may rest assured that you will have a vacation stay filled with luxurious tranquility. Our 3rd visit to this beautiful home and everything about our stay was flawless. Views are tremendous, house is immaculate! Peaceful and serene! Once again, thanks for graciously sharing your beautiful home with us. We look forward to returning next year. The Porch Stoop Gang! Debbie, Vivian, Rusty, and Victoria

Larry and Victoria Eckard

Hemlock Haven, October 2024

Nick was a gracious host and an excellent communicator! This property met all our needs with adult children and grandchildren - everyone had their own space and plenty of things to do. We rented a pontoon boat and were able to stop at the small dock to pick up and discharge passengers. When we weren't boating, we could relax on the deck or beach or fish off the dock. Nick's place was equipped with all the supplies and appliances you need to have a relaxing and amazing visit to Lake Anna. We would definitely return!

Joe Re

Hemlock Haven, September 2024

The house was everything it said it would be! Beautiful view of the lake. We had everything we needed for a great week at the lake.

Christina Stamp

Hemlock Haven, August 2024

We stayed for an extended weekend. The location was great—right on the water with room to use the paddle boards and kayaks in the cove without getting into the busy part of the lake. The kids and adults all enjoyed it. The air hockey table was a hit with the kids, too. The host’s communication was excellent, proactively providing all the information we needed for a great stay. Highly recommended!

Ryan Gibson

Hemlock Haven, July 2024

Great property. This was our second stay. Owner is fantastic to work with. Great communication. Perfect set up for a family with young children and adults. The only time we left was to run to food lion (10 minutes away) to restock groceries. Will stay here again.

Dave Jones

Hemlock Haven, July 2024

Nice lake view and private beach and dock with many water craft supplied as part of property.

Alex Phillips

Hemlock Haven, July 2024

Nick was very accommodating and engaged from the booking process through our stay. What ever we needed he provided it. The house was fully equipped and comfortable. We will be booking a stay next year.

Stephen MOWERY

Hemlock Haven, June 2024

Designed perfect for renting. We had 7 adults 5 children of ages 2-10. The layout of the home was perfect for us. Each family had the ability to spread out and have “space”. The basement is alone is perfectly designed as a seperate livable space. Property is quietly situated between two wood lines making for a private feel. Owner, Nick, wonderful to work with and responsive along the way!

Brandon Bossard

Hemlock Haven, May 2024

We loved this house and the owners were super nice trying to accommodate our needs. It was raining but it was only a detail. The house is really complete and they have several games. We have had a great time there. I hope we can find a spot to come back in the summer.

Lauro Leonardo

Hemlock Haven, May 2024

My friends and I enjoyed our stay in a cozy house on a lake. It was simply outstanding and I planning to come again and again. Thank you!

Margarita Smoroda

Hemlock Haven, May 2024

My husband and I really enjoyed the views and amenities given by this property. It was a good place with shallow water for kids to fish safely. The Air Hockey table was a winner for all ages. Nick, the host was always cheerful and helpful. I really do recommend spending a few days here to relax with friends and family.

Elaine Street

Hemlock Haven, May 2024

Did not disappoint! So nice to have bathrooms for every room. The open floor plan did not disappoint and the kitchen was a dream for anyone who loves to cook. The screened in porch was a plus! Nick was so nice and very attentive! Will definitely rent again!

Yoonhee Chang

Hemlock Haven, May 2024

We all loved it

Hassan Hamdan

Hemlock Haven, May 2024

We loved the boats and enjoyed the lake every day even in early April. House layout was excellent for having your own space but still accommodating when we were all in the same room together.

Natalie Sobrinski

Hemlock Haven, April 2024

I rented this beautiful house for my wife’s birthday to celebrate with a few of our friends. Everything was as advertised and the place was beautiful. The views were amazing and our friends enjoyed themselves immensely. Nicholas was a fantastic host and communicated with us the entire time to make sure we had everything we needed. It was a five star experience for sure.

Raymond Gattis

Hemlock Haven, April 2024

The customer service and accommodations are 5 star plus rating! The house mirrors the descriptions exactly. This was my 2nd time renting the property. It will not by my last. Nick is the perfect host!

Twayna Winston

Hemlock Haven, February 2024

In short .... My husband and I booked this home with our family's couples getaway, and we only have positive things! From the very beginning to the very end the host, Nicholas was amazing! Nicholas was really friendly, professional and thoughtful. We look forward to working with Nicholas again, and again. The home was beautiful inside and out and very clean. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes including serving and mixing dishes, coffee pot, keurig, blender, griddle, crockpot and spices. The bedrooms were perfect. Each bedroom has an attached full bathroom which worked out perfectly for our group. We had 5 couples total (10 adults) and we had plenty of space. We had enough room to all be together and for us to seperate. We ate meals around the table together, and while we were snuggled it was room for us all together. There was plenty of firewood for the firepit and extra propane for the grill and even enough bean bags for cornhole. We rented in January so we didn't use the paddle boats or kayaks but there were plenty avaialable and plenty of life jackets. The grocery store, dollar general, ABC store and a few other little restaurants are less than 10 minutes aways. Anyway the home is beautiful, the view is calming & a little extra and appreciated. AIr hockey, wine frig, screen porched, huge bay window over looking the lake ... The location is privately & peacefully tucked away and ideal for a quiet time together. We'll be back! Thank You SO MUCH Nicholas!

Simeaka Melton

Hemlock Haven, February 2024

We LOVED this house and the host was incredibly responsive. The view from the living room is incredible. Make memories -- we did!

Lisa Silverberg

Hemlock Haven, December 2023

We had a wonderful time at HIdden Cove. The house is beautiful and the view when you walk in the front door is second to none. Kitchen was well equipped to handle making a thanksgiving dinner and for once all the right size beds in a rental not to mention a bathroom for each bedroom. Who could ask for more! Well, maybe warmer weather in November would have been nice. Thank you!

Maryann Riesmeyer

Hemlock Haven, December 2023

We rented the home for Friendsgiving Retreat with family and friends. Rest, Relaxation and Self-care! The house is exactly as advertised. Nick is an absolutely amazing host! Very attentive and responsive. I will definitely choose this property again!

Twayna Winston

Hemlock Haven, November 2023

We had a fantastic stay in this wonderful house on the lake! The location is ideal with beautiful lake views—we even saw otters playing in the water the first morning! The house itself was fantastic with a great hangout space on the main level for the adults and an equally great space on the lower level for the kids, including an air hockey table and fussball table. We had fun taking the canoe out on the lake to see the fall colors. The house was well stocked and had everything we needed to cook in and relax by the fire. Unlike many rentals, the checkout procedures were very minor and easy. I highly recommend!

Terri Saunders

Hemlock Haven, November 2023

This was our annual siblings gathering and our second visit to Lake Anna. We had a wonderful time. The house matched our needs perfectly (5 couples) dining/relaxing together, 5 on-suites. We thoroughly enjoyed the kayaks and firepit, too. And Nick was the most engaged and thoughtful host I've interacted with. Great time.

Paul Caldwell

Hemlock Haven, October 2023

Nothing but positive things to say. House was in great shape, 100% as advertised. Would absolutely stay here again. Nick was responsive, courteous and gracious. A perfect host.

Gino Dellomo

Hemlock Haven, September 2023

We had a family get together here and it was amazing clean, and Nick was always very attentive!! We will defiantly be coming back to this house

Antonio Marchorro

Hemlock Haven, September 2023

Stayed at Hidden Cove for a week to celebrate the end of summer. Had a great time fishing off the dock, playing games in the well-stocked game closet and loved cooking in the lovely kitchen! Would recommend to other families looking for a good house to enjoy the lake.

Katheryn Huff

Hemlock Haven, September 2023

Loved our stay here. Plenty of space all around - bedrooms, kitchen, common areas. Kitchen had plenty of plates, cups/glasses, utensils, pots and pans. Also loved the park/beach just a block away - great for small kids.

Kathy Parker

Hemlock Haven, September 2023

From day 1 Nick was extremely helpful, responsive, and flexible. The house was gorgeous and clean, and we couldn’t have asked for a better yard or location. I don’t leave reviews, but Nick and the house were great!

Katheryn Huff

Hemlock Haven, September 2023

This house is absolutely just as beautiful as the pictures. So clean, fully stocked, tons of space for everyone. A bath in every room was awesome. The location on the lake is private. You really feel like you’re the only ones there. Tons of kayaks and vests and things to do are provided. Nick was the best host I’ve ever had thru VRBO. Super quick on responses, both pre and during stay, and provided tons of local info like restaurant recommendations and grocery stores. We loved our week at Lake Anna and next time we come back, we’ll be staying at Hidden Cove again for sure!

Kristen Simchick

Hemlock Haven, August 2023

We had a great week at Hidden Cove. The house was new, comfortable, and perfectly sized for our family with two kids and three grandparents. Our 3-year-old and 7-year-old played everyday on the beach, we swam at the community pool most days, and we kayaked as much as we could. The kids also loved the air hockey table, game closet, and playground nearby. We cooked dinner at the house most nights and made s’mores on the campfire outside. It was idyllic. The state park also has fun activities and we took a nice guided pontoon boat ride. We would definitely return to this house!

Kathryn Kelly

Hemlock Haven, August 2023

Roger Early

Hemlock Haven, August 2023

The best way to summarize our vacation. We left the property once to get ice cream. What a fantastic property all amenities you could ask for. We will be back next summer

Dave Jones

Hemlock Haven, July 2023

This was a well kept property with lots of water toys to keep everyone busy. The recreation room and game closet were great! The kids and adults had a blast! All questions were promptly responded to. We really enjoyed our time here and hope to return.

DEBORAH RANSOM

Hemlock Haven, July 2023

This house has all you need! We loved all the outdoor spaces. Having a beach approach to the lake for our young kids was so convenient. The water by the house was very shallow so allowed for them to swim and play easily. The house comes with so many options for things to do on the water too: multiple kayaks and stand up paddle boards, paddle boat, floats, life jackets etc. The upper and lower deck are great for hanging and the covered porch was a nice place to spend time any time of day. We utilized the firepit as well which was nicely set up with a lake view had plenty of seating. Inside the rooms are large, clean and each has their own bathroom which was nice for our multigenerational family stay. The kitchen is so nicely updated and had everything we needed for cooking and enjoying meals, including a large dining table that fit all of us. And the best part is that Nick is so accommodating and helpful, answering questions so quickly. We didn’t know much about the private side of the lake but we did learn that the water is a bit warmer. We were able to rent a pontoon boat and have it delivered and it was easy to dock at the house. Delivery and pick up of the boat was totally unorganized, but that was no fault of this house, just the rental company’s total ineptitude at communication. We used MidAtlantic. Overall we had a fantastic stay and would recommend this house to any family looking for a fun and relaxing lake vacation!

KY Cameron

Hemlock Haven, July 2023

Everyone enjoyed the lake: sand beach, dock, shore (fishing), kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, view.

Alex Phillips

Hemlock Haven, July 2023

Hidden cove was an amazing vacation. The house was immaculate and had everything we needed. The connivence of having a playground a short walk away was great with little kids to have a change of scenery. Nick the owner was amazing to work with, checking in before, during and after the trip.

Kelsey Mullaney

Hemlock Haven, June 2023

The owner thought of everything to make this home comfortable and appealing. We stayed with a group of 8 friends age 68+. Everyone found the kitchen and living spaces to be more than accommodating. We utilized the screened porch everyday. The beds and bedding were of superb quality. Our host, Nick, was quick to answer all of our questions. We asked where to buy firewood and before we knew it, he had some delivered! There's plenty to do right at the lake, but we explored the area visiting Monticello, Spotsylvania, and Fredricksburg, VA. We enjoyed a tour of the lake with Orange Troller. Visiting Lake Anna was just what the doctor ordered. We came home feeling more relaxed and revived than we had in years. We highly recommend this wonderful vacation spot.

Trudi Nottingham

Hemlock Haven, May 2023

Nick was such an amazing host from start to finish! The property was exactly like the pictures....gorgeous. There were 3 couples in our party & everyone was extremely pleased. The fact that each room had an ensuite was perfect for our stay. The separate living space on the lower level was a huge plus as well. We were able to spread out and do our own thing when we wanted to. There was plenty of seating, even the outdoor space had plenty of seating. There are homes on both sides but how the house sits, with trees surrounding it, makes it feel so private. It rained most of the weekend so we didn't take advantage of the water activities. The home itself is so nice & the steaming hot water was so refreshing for every shower. Nick had the place stocked with everything we needed to get started. Decent pots, sharp knives, even spices!!! Vacation rentals never have decent pots & sharp knives lol. Other vacation home owners should take a page out of his book because this is by far the best vacation home rental experience I've ever had! We will definitely be back!!!

Tiff Naturally

Hemlock Haven, April 2023

Our Easter family gathering at Hidden Cove was wonderful! We found the lovely home with 5 master bedrooms, all with lake views, so accommodating. The main level kitchen and family room was perfect for everyone to gather comfortably. Outside area is so private and cozy. And you won't find a better host than Nick!

Karen Basehore

Hemlock Haven, April 2023

We just loved the kitchen and the view from the property. All the water toys were great and we enjoyed using them. Thank you for much for the great memories

Derrick Plummer

Hemlock Haven, January 2023

Great time. House had everything we needed. The host was very attentive and accommadating.

Damon Caldwell

Hemlock Haven, January 2023

Our Thanksgiving family gathering at Hidden Cove was wonderful! The beautiful, spacious home and grounds located on the lake were perfect for our family. Five en suite bedrooms with lake vies gave us all the sleeping space we needed. We spent many hours in the main level kitchen and gathering area preparing and enjoying food, watching the Thanksgiving Day parade, playing games and comfortably enjoying each others company. We all had fun outdoors enjoying the fire pit, fishing dock, large play area and paddle board! Our host, Nick, was the best! He was east to communicate with throughout the booking process and during our stay. He answered all of our questions and checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed!

Jack Howe

Hemlock Haven, November 2022

Truly amazing house and amazing vacation spot on Lake Anna. This home is beautiful decorated with all the touches that one feels right at home. It is exceptionally clean and spacious and includes all high-end appliances. The owner's attention to details was noticed throughout the entire home. Nick is a "great" VRBO host! He was very quick to respond w/ any questions and also very accommodating. He wants to share all he knows about the area! Very pleased with our stay and would highly recommend this rental. Already book our next stay and cannot wait to return. Thank you, Nick, for making our sibling stay very memorable! The Porch Stoop Gang!

Larry and Victoria Eckard

Hemlock Haven, November 2022

We have stayed at this beautiful home about 5 times! Need I say more? The home is beautifully decorated with all the touches that make you feel at home. And the owner is so nice and always available to answer questions or help with anything. We will already have our next two visits booked and cannot wait to return. I highly recommend this rental.

Marcela Shaw

Hemlock Haven, November 2022

First of all, Nick has got to be the most generous, thoughtful, accommodating VRBO host I’ve had the pleasure to rent from. When he found out one of my family members has allergies, he went out of his way to make sure that ALL of the bedding was laundered in fragrance-free soap ahead of our visit, and he even provided fragrance-free soap for us to use during the visit. Questions I sent by email were answered within a few minutes, very thoroughly, with explanations, pictures and even a video link on managing the HVAC (Nest) should we need it. And he was amazingly gracious and flexible about check-in and check-out, accommodating a late schedule change. In all, just the very best host. As for Hidden Cove, so many reviews comment on how perfectly lovely it is (agreed!) that I’ll just add some important details: My extended family rented 3 Lake Anna cottages for a mini-reunion, including another lovely home on the same loop drive, but this was everyone's favorite. The home felt very safe and private. I think one could laze in bed while watching the morning mist rise over the lake from any one of the 5 ensuite bedrooms. Lake views from every room, comfort, serenity, and privacy! The well stocked kitchen includes a top of the line large microwave and a baking oven, plus plenty of sharp prep knives(!), baking dishes, and decent pans. The house was exceptionally clean; the beautiful hardwood floors were pristine and I happily walked barefoot while inside. The counter stools were easy to move into the great room for a larger gathering, while multiple porches, patios, decks and sitting areas served for quiet conversations. The screened-in porch was especially nice with October’s transitional weather. Parking was ample, more than enough for 5 couples arriving separately. The daybed in the loft appears to be a full length twin. We didn’t use it but it would have been fine for an adult. The Food Lion nearby has plenty of good wares, so no need to stop at Trader Joe's in Richmond as I did. And Nick provided excellent recommendations on restaurants that we took advantage of. I could not have been happier the afternoon my siblings and I were visited by several young adult nieces and nephews and their significant others who proceeded to play cards and catch up with us around the dining table. What a perfect way for a family spread across 5 states and DC to reconnect! And the topper, the eldest senior of our party (me) even swam in the lake!

Cher Bergeon

Hemlock Haven, October 2022

WOW!! Hidden Cove is a luxurious lake house. Hig quality finishes and appliances. Beds that take you into restful and relaxing slumber. After years of vacation rental experiences, THIS stay FAR EXCEEDED our expectations and all prior experiences. Cleanliness of the home was superb. Nick was incredible. Pre-arrival communication was super detailed, during-stay communication was quick. Soooo many lake toys. Our teenagers were constantly on the lake, kayaking, SUP, canoeing, even peddleboating. The family consensus is all homeowners need a class from Nick!!!

Meris Sewak

Hemlock Haven, October 2022

Absolutely stunning home with all the amenities you could ask for! Beautiful kitchen, plenty of space with 2 living rooms and 5 masters!!!! It’s perfect for multiple families or couples, get away when you need your space, come together in one of the living rooms or in the multitude of outdoor spaces. The dock fit our boat nicely and the community marina was easy to access. The host has excellent communication and wonderful to work with. We will be staying again soon!

Sarah Nagi

Nick was an amazing homeowner who replied to any issue we may have had immediately. The house amenities and location were fabulous.

Kim Mercier

Hemlock Haven, August 2022

Everything about this property and home is lovely. The house is gorgeous and very comfortable for 6 adults and 4 children. Every bedroom has their own bathroom and there was even a crib for the 1 yr old. Kitchen fully stocked and plenty of eating spaces between island, table and screen porch. Lovely quiet cove on the lake with all the water toys. We canoed, paddle board, kayaked and swam many times a day. Huge yard to set up lots of games as we brought like bocce, badminton, ladder ball etc. We didn’t use the fire pit as it was too warm but used the grill a couple times. The owner, Nick, was wonderful answering all questions promptly and giving us the resources we needed for a great week. Highly recommend this property !

Carolann Fulk

Hemlock Haven, August 2022

We had a great time with friends and family this week. Nicks house is beautiful and the location is ideal for all ages. We had a great time with all of the outdoor activities. Nick was extremely helpful and responsive. We would recommend this location and house to anyone and would definitely stay here again.

Ashley Schreiber

Hemlock Haven, August 2022

Hidden Cove is a perfect name for this property! Nice place for a large group. We had a great time there!

Don Luffman

Hemlock Haven, July 2022

First let me say that Nick was the best! He was always available to quickly respond to any questions we had. The house was absolutely perfect for our family of 12. We used every space to the max and loved it! The beds were comfy and the bedrooms all had plenty of space for us to feel moved in and comfy for the week. We cooked/ate most of our meals there and found we had pretty much everything we needed and plenty of space to spread out. The grill was great to use as well. The beach had everything we could have wanted regarding kayaks, paddle boards, life jackets, etc.. We spent most of every day in the water. We also enjoyed the nearby community beach and the pool. One day we hiked out at Lake Anna State Park and really loved that as well. We had the most amazing week and highly recommend Nick’s home for any family/group looking for a relaxing time on the lake.

Melanie Rodemann

Hemlock Haven, June 2022

This house is better than the pictures. Our family had an amazing stay. The location was perfect. The private beach and amenities included were perfect. We used everything and had an amazing time.

Payal THomas

Hemlock Haven, June 2022

Our family - my dad, siblings, spouses, and kids - had a wonderful time at Nick's place. The house was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. We loved all of the outdoor space; from the firepit to the little beach to the screened porch, we had lots of room to hang out and get some fresh air. We enjoyed the paddle boat and canoe, and the cornhole set was also lots of fun. The community pool was a short drive away, and the community beach was within walking distance. The house itself was great - the private bathrooms with each bedroom were perfect for our group. We could all have our own space, but there was also lots of room to gather together both inside and out. The kitchen and dining area comfortably fit our group of 11, and we appreciated that there were spices and some kitchen staples available for us. Air hockey was lots of fun for the kids and adults too! There were some tiny issues (not enough toilet paper, missing washcloths) but Nick took care of them promptly and was extremely responsive. Thank you so much for a wonderful trip - we had a great time!

Amanda Luft

Hemlock Haven, June 2022

We had a wonderful time staying at The Hidden Cove. The way the property is tucked in on the Lake is something special. The location was great as you feel like you are secluded yet there is a grocery and liquor store 5 miles away. We loved grilling on the deck, playing with all of the water toys and enjoying the fire pit on the nightly. The house is beautiful, the property is beautiful and Nick, the owner was very kind and helpful throughout our entire stay. We were all sad to leave and hope to make it back in the future. Don’t think twice about this place-just book it.

We have stayed at Nick’s house many times and it is just perfect! The house is comfortable and beautiful and has everything to make you feel at home. Nick is wonderful to deal with. He responds quickly and is always so accommodating. We will be back in October and cannot wait.

This was an amazing place to start the summer. Stayed with 10 friends over Memorial Day weekend and we all had the most amazing time! Every kind of toy you could ask for, comfortable beds, and every room had it’s own master bathroom. The place was super clean and well stocked and the neighbors were very friendly! Couldn’t recommend this place more.

Loved our family get away at Hidden Cove. House is new and is on lake front property. Hidden Cove has everything you need both in the house and also to enjoy water sports. Owner is very responsive and great to work with. Cant wait to return.

FANTASTIC!!!!! I cant say more. The house is Gorgeous, with beautiful lake views! We used the paddle boat, the kayaks, and paddle boards! Fabulous cozy fire-pit too. The bedrooms are huge, and ALL the beds are so comfortable. Nick even let us have an early check in and a late check out. Overall 10/10!!!

Nice, modern decor; smart, comfortable layout of house, lovely view of the lake, peaceful neighborhood. Any issues were IMMEDIATELY resolved by the owner. He was a rockstar host.

2 adults and 2 kids (ages 6 and 8) for 4 nights. House was new, clean, and very comfortable. We loved the kayaks and canoe, firepit, air hockey table, cornhole, screened porch with dining table, deck, and beach area. The nearby neighborhood beach and playground were nice for a little outing for the kids to swim and play in the sand. Communications with the owner were very timely, helpful and kind.

Great location and property. Very responsive host.

Abdullah Kawsar

Hemlock Haven, April 2022

We really enjoyed our stay! The property was beautiful. The layout was great. Having friends and family and 5 masters! Communication with the owner was a breeze. Such a plus! The front porch area lighting is not adequate at night - so be careful if you go out/down the stairs - it can be a bit tricky. The fire pit area, corn hole and games available were a plus while just spending time with family and friends in the evening. Bring wash rags and extra towels, you will need them. We plan a trip to wine country every year and we will definitely stay at this property again.

We had a wonderful time at Nicks house. Kitchen well stocked as we are a family that likes to cook. Bedrooms all very nice with en-suite bathrooms. Bathrooms lacking a few things but we managed. We enjoyed the paddle boat and fire pit even in Feb. Nick was very accommodating to our group. Would highly recommend this property.

Sue Lewellen

Hemlock Haven, February 2022

Our experience at Hidden Cove could not have been better! The communication was great and the home was even better than we expected. The house was immaculately cleaned, well stocked, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Our children loved all of the outdoor items provided (kayaks, canoe, paddle boards) and since the house is on the private side of the lake, the water was warm enough for them to go out even in the winter. We would love to stay here any time!

Kimberly Cunningham

Hemlock Haven, February 2022

What an amazing property and overall experience! From the moment we booked the communication from Nick was great. We had a special holiday request and he was very accommodating to our needs. The kitchen was nicely stocked with items needed to prepare a nice Christmas feast. There was ample room for our group to spread out comfortably. The weather was warm enough where we could explore outside as well. We look forward to booking this property again in the near future!

There were 10 of us in the family meeting and surprising my father in law for his 90th birthday. The house was beautiful and so much space! Beautifully decorated. The outside water toys available to us was amazing. We were all able to get on the water even in December! Plenty of dish-ware and utensils for us all and top of line appliances. We had such a fantastic time! There was plenty for us all to do. We were not disappointed! Food Lion was 7 minutes from the house for groceries. So convenient. Excellent stay! Any questions we had, Nick answered immediately. Super clean. Definitely would stay again!

Mark Mathews

Hemlock Haven, December 2021

We thoroughly enjoyed our family get together at Nick’s home. The views were amazing and we had everything we needed so that we could relax and reconnect after Covid prevented us from being together in the last year+. We are planning to do this again next year!

Deborah Leonard

Hemlock Haven, December 2021

This is our second year staying at the house for Thanksgiving and we loved it again! Nick is super easy to work with! The house has plenty of space - we enjoyed cooking in the spacious kitchen area, watching college football on the big screen TV, and enjoying outside with a fire in the fire pit and some time on the lake. Definitely recommend!

Paige Pearson

Hemlock Haven, November 2021

Home is in a great location in a quiet neighborhood. The actual property is beautiful with gorgeous water views (especially the sunrise in the morning!). We visited in November so we weren’t able to enjoy the lake much, but we did bundle up and use the paddle boat and kayaks which the kids loved! Home is very beautifully decorated. Some areas of the home show a bit of wear, but that’s to be expected with a rental. Nick was wonderful to work with, and quickly replied to any questions or needs we had. Would not hesitate to book this home again!

Whitney Register

Hemlock Haven, November 2021

The property and house are absolutely amazing. View beautiful views all day long, on-site activities fun for everyone and the shops & restaurants are close by. The property owner Nick is very responsive & great to work with. We would absolutely stay at this property again.

Shannon Burns

Hemlock Haven, November 2021

This house was gorgeous, with a great layout and plenty of rooms, each with their own bathroom which was amazing. Nick was so great to work with! He was easy to reach, gave lots of helpful information and very accomodating. We are looking forward to staying again soon!!

Holly O'Hora

Hemlock Haven, November 2021

This lake house was the most beautifully decorated we have ever stayed in. The beds were extremely comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. The kids and adults had hours of fun using the kayaks, paddle boat and fishing equipment provided. We had an amazing time and the water and weather were still beautiful in October! We will be back!

Leigha Gallagher

Hemlock Haven, October 2021

The house is beautiful and well maintained. Spacious enough with all the necessary amenities. The water sports equipments available at the house added the fun and the lake view was excellent. Host was very friendly, always reachable and ready to assist. Altogether it was very pleasant.

Roshin Adukkath

Hemlock Haven, October 2021

Perfect, beautiful place and well suited for a large family of nine. One thought is that the bedrooms could use televisions in them. The master has one. If you plan to rent a pontoon boat try to find a marina that is on the private side. The property is located on the private side and there is no way to access by water from the public side. No big deal we used Pleasant Landing Marina (public side) which is a fifteen minute ride . Can't wait to do it again!

Carl Lukat

Hemlock Haven, October 2021

This rental is absolutely awesome! We wanted for nothing. Nick made sure that the complete house was well equipped. It is well appointed, spacious and it was extremely clean. We loved that each of 5 bedrooms had its own bathroom. Kayaks, canoes, paddle boards and a paddle boat were available for our use. The community pool, a short drive or long walk, was well maintained (salt water) and the playground and a sandy beach area are just a short walk from the house. Nick was easy to work with and check in was seamless. We loved this rental property and love Lake Anna. September 2021

Donna Bruder-Smith

Hemlock Haven, September 2021

This house is beautifully furnished, clean, and has everything you need for a relaxing vacation. Nick is a wonderful host, great to communicate with and was incredibly responsive to our requests. Our family had lots of fun kayaking, paddle boarding and boating on the lake, and just relaxing on the dock and beach.

Heather Guerin

Hemlock Haven, September 2021

We had a wonderful time at the house! It was beautiful with well stocked kitchen, plenty of bathrooms, and great screened in porch. Perfect little beach area, pier for fishing, and lots of toys to take on lake - we especially loved the paddle boards. Great place for a family reunion!

Kristen Ness

Hemlock Haven, August 2021

We had an amazing, relaxing family vacation at this gorgeous house! First, the location is perfect - right on lake, down the street from community beach, and short drive to community pool. Owner has all of the needed lake gear and even has a paddle boat for older or less athletic guests! Being on the private side, there is not too much boat traffic. The cove makes a nice shallow area for smaller children. Second, the house is amazing. Everyone had their own space (and bathroom!). Plenty of room for the kids to bring a friend. Basement has games and air hockey and large seating area for kids to hang out. There is a firepit to hang out or make s'mores. Owner even supplies firewood. Third, the house is super clean and comfortable! And the owner has the kitchen well stocked with cookware and kitchen tools and even spices. There are not many restaurants in the area so it is best to plan to bring meals or cook. Food Lion and Dollar General are 10 minutes away so there is no issue buying supplies needed. Finally, the owner Nick is fantastic! We have rented many houses over the years. This was the first time I was emailed a document with all of the necessary instructions and house information. It was so helpful to know ahead of time what was provided and what was needed. He even gives you information on local restaurants and activities! Nick is available for any questions before or during your stay either through a call or text. His excellent communication really made our stay even better! We would definitely come back again!

Nicole S

Hemlock Haven, August 2021

The property was amazing and the kids (ages 6 -14) never ran out of things to do. The owner Nick, was extremely responsive and easy to work with. The kids and adults used the 3 kayaks, 3 SUP’s, and the paddle boat. The house was very well maintained with beautiful furnishings. We made use of the lake most everyday, but ventured to the community pool which was great as well. Nick had plenty of fishing poles for the kids to use, as well. Kitchen was very well equipped with lots of storage space for food. Immensely enjoyed our first trip to Lake Anna and Hidden Cove.

Rick H

Hemlock Haven, August 2021

This was a beautiful home and excellent location. For a week stay, we would have liked to see larger dressers to store clothes and belongings. The bedrooms were a little small if you needed to put up extra beds, such as a pack and play. We did appreciate the excellent communication with the owner. He was always very prompt in getting back to you.

We had a wonderful week long stay! The house was new and perfect for our group of six adults and three children to spread out and relax. It was beautifully furnished and had everything we needed. It is also in a great location with easy access to the grocery store and restaurants. We enjoyed the amenities of the community — the pool, beach, and playground. Would love to return!

Jennifer Merrill

Hemlock Haven, July 2021

The home was comfortable and quiet. We enjoyed sitting around the firepit and talking. We would watch the many birds that would attempt to catch fish in the lake. The kids and young adults enjoyed swimming an kayaking in the lake. We would come back here.

Couldn't say better things about this home. High quality finishes, appliances, and furniture throughout. Great location and extremely responsive owner. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Adam Zettler

Hemlock Haven, April 2021

Don’t look any further - this is the best house rental on Lake Anna! The layout of this house accommodated all ages in my family. All 5 bedrooms have a full en-suite bathrooms and beautiful views of the lake. Which was perfect for grandparents on the main level, and two bedrooms on second floor and two in walk out lower level. The finishes were awesome too. You can see this house was well built with lots of attention to detail. The kitchen was the best stocked rental I’ve ever stayed at, plenty of pots, pans, mixing bowls, spices, we even had marshmallows for s’mores by the fire pit. For outside activity, they provided SUPs, kayaks, canoe, inflatables - plenty to do. The walk in sand beach made it easy to get in and out of the water. Food Lion was 7 mins away as well as restaurants a d boat rentals. Literally nothing to say that was bad or off. The best part of the experience was Nick! It was super easy to rent, he communicated with me immediately, before during and after the rental. So helpful! Thank you for a great time!

Rosanne Reneo

Hemlock Haven, March 2021

My family and I had a Fantastic time at this lake house. The house is beautiful and met all of our expectations. It was SUPER clean and very nicely decorated... My little ones kept themselves busy on the private beach, making s’mores, and playing with the toys in the downstairs closet. While there are 5 master bedrooms, the home is still cozy enough to feel close and enjoy family time... There are stores and eateries nearby, & I was even able to get Instart to make a delivery on our first night. The owner, Nick, let us know that he was close by if we needed anything, but he had already thought of everything so we didn’t have to call him.

Candice Burnett

Hemlock Haven, March 2021

Everything about this property was great for a relaxing weekend. Even though the weather was cold and rainy we still had a great trip. The house is beautiful, clean, and comfy! Will definitely try to go back in warmer weather. The fire pit was great and having the boat, kayaks, and paddle boards available for use was great. I fished from the pier in the back of the house and it was nice a relaxing. Nick was a great host!

Ransom T

Hemlock Haven, March 2021

Nick was an outstanding host! House was in a great location...close to food market as well as cidery which we enjoyed! Plenty of room for kids to play and enjoy. Adults all had their own rooms/bathrooms. Great layout for everyone to enjoy time together as well. We definitely plan on returning to Lake Anna and staying at this property to enjoy the warm weather activities.

Michael Magnotta

We had a great time this New Years at this beautiful new home. Nick was very responsive and the listing is spot-on accurate! Easy drive from Richmond and northern Va. Would love to go back and enjoy more of the lake activities this summer.

Jen F

Hemlock Haven, January 2021

Well maintained new property. Would recommend better use of kitchen cabinets to allow for better storage of groceries. Needs more curtains to block sun. Response with owner/manager could not have been better. Would certainly say again.

Ronny H

Hemlock Haven, December 2020

Loved this house!!! Great location on the water, and many extras to make it even better. Each bedroom with a bath was a huge plus, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the fire pit was great! Beds are super comfortable too :) The only negative was slow wi-fi, which may be due to the location, but be aware that given we were working, we needed to use our hot spots. The host was great at communicating -- We would definitely stay here again!!!

Lisa B

Hemlock Haven, December 2020

The house was beautiful, clean and had plenty of space! Communication was great and any questions we had were answered promptly. Even though it was November, the weather was warm enough to enjoy kayaking during the day. We also enjoyed the fire pit at night. Loved our stay!

Paige P

Hemlock Haven, December 2020

This is a beautiful home, and Nick is a wonderful host. This was the quiet retreat, and exactly the break that we needed. The kitchen was well appointed, and the yard with the fire pit was one of our favorite hang outs.

Jessica P

Hemlock Haven, November 2020

This house was beautiful! We’ve rented houses at Lake Anna in the past and they were so isolated from simple things like the grocery store. Not this place! It was less than 10 min down the road. The large windows allowed for so much natural light during the day. Only 2 negatives...the room on the main floor has 2 windows that have no blinds or curtains and the curtains on the sliding doors were white, so when the sun came up we were up. And everyone in my group missed the fact that there was only 1 towel per bathroom. It was our mistake. Each bathroom did have a hand towel and a bath towel. We just all over looked that note. No worries because the Dollar General was around the corner from the grocery store. Even though I refer to those as negatives it did not take away from the house or our relaxing weekend together. If traveling with the same number of people we will definitely book again. Loved the screened in deck off the kitchen and loved loved that we all had our own bathrooms!! Nick was super quick with his responses prior to booking and once we were there we did not need to reach him as everything was in the property guide that he emailed. Thank you for sharing your property, Nick. It was a well needed break during the crazy times of 2020.

Kathy P

Hemlock Haven, November 2020

The property was just beautiful! Gorgeous view of the lake from every room & the house was just as pictured. The house has everything we needed. We also loved the kayaks & the fire pit. It was easy to communicate with Nick & have things addressed quickly as well. An all around wonderful getaway!! Hope for a return trip in the future~

Beautiful house, very clean! Everything is brand new! Very well appointed with paddle boards and Kyaks, the kids loved the private beach and fishing from the dock.

Hemlock Haven, October 2020

Adam S

Hemlock Haven, October 2020

Everything about this property is just perfect. This is our second time staying here and we love it! The home sits in a hidden cove which is perfect for our quiet and relaxing stay. The views of the trees now that the leaves are changing colors are absolutely gorgeous. The home is equipped with everything you could possibly need making us feel very much at home. There are kayaks, paddle boards and a canoe which make it so fun to go out and explore the homes and foliage on the lake. The fire pit was a hit with our family as we spent the entire time outdoors enjoying the view. The home is new and decorated beautifully. We love that everyone has there own bathroom and the beds were all very comfortable. Honestly, I can’t say enough about how much we love this home. And I cannot forget to mention that Nick is a pleasure to deal with. He responds quickly to everything and is just a very nice guy. Perfect place for a getaway!

Marcela S

Hemlock Haven, October 2020

This house is amazing! Super clean and has the BEST interior decor. The size was perfect for our group. The kids enjoyed all the outdoor activities on the lake and yard.
