Owl's Nest is the ultimate Lake Anna retreat, a newly built modern farmhouse in The Waters community. It combines cozy woodland charm with a prime location near the community beach. Perfect for families, couples, or groups, it features a boat slip, huge patio with 7-person hot tub, grill, and a fire pit, and a backyard playhouse with swings. The home offers high-end details, and all 4 bedrooms have attached bathrooms. Community amenities like a pool* and pickleball courts provide year-round fun.

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.

 

Owl's Nest is the ultimate Lake Anna retreat! Our newly built modern farmhouse has the best of both worlds. It's nestled in the woods for that cozy cottage feel, yet right across from the community beach in the sought after community of The Waters. We have a boat slip for guests at the community marina.

New 7-person hot tub, fire pit & grilling patio!

This open concept farmhouse will make guests feel like they're in an episode of Fixer Upper!

When we were searching for the perfect community to build our family lake home, we fell in love with the The Waters. The Waters community is like no other community at Lake Anna. It's the only community with a pool*. We love also the clubhouse area with a pool*, tennis & pickle ball court and a marina with a boat ramp. We provide a boat slip for our guests at the marina which makes it so convenient to take your boat on your lake vacation! Our other favorite amenity is the community beach with the kids playground and covered picnic area just across the street from Owl's Nest. When we found our lot to build our dream vacation home directly across from the beach, we knew our kids and grandkids would have years of memories in this family friendly community The Waters is great for walking/jogging, and biking and is minutes away from Food Lion and all the great restaurants in Lake Anna.

Owls Nest was just finished being built and is chock full of amenities. Guests will love to relax on a cool evening with s'mores by the fire pit or spend the evening in the oversized, lighted hot tub with drinks! Our new patio is the crown jewel of Owl's Nest Modern Farmhouse Cozy Cottage!

Owls Nest is the perfect vacation for one or two families, for a couple wanting a romantic get-a-way, or a girls lake vacay! Everyone will love all the high-end details of this modern farmhouse cottage.

The open concept floor plan of Owls Nest really lends itself to entertaining and relaxing with family and friends. The great room, kitchen and dining area is surrounded by 12 foot ceilings and huge transomed windows all around, which brings the outdoors in! The great room has a huge white shiplap fireplace with custom cabinetry, hardwood flooring and sliders opening to the patio, hot-tub, grilling and fire-pit area. The kitchen has high-end stainless appliances, white quartz counters, a walk-in pantry and a breakfast/dining room with a huge Restoration Hardware country dining table, surrounded by windows. This gourmet kitchen comes fully stocked!

Owl's Nest has a total of 4 bedrooms all with flat screen tv's. The Primary Suite on the main level and then another King Bedroom and Queen Bedroom that both share a jack and jill full bath.

The upper level has the cutest quad bunk room/playroom you've ever seen, truly Pinterest worthy! The bunk room is a kids paradise, full stocked with a white wood playhouse, play kitchen, kids play table/chairs, and a flat screen TV with flip chairs. The bunk room has its own full bath. Kids will never want to leave!

Owl's Nest is right across the street from the community beach which has a large playground area, covered picnic area and a sandy beach. You'll want to grab our kayaks and explore the lake or take our wagon and the kids and hang out at the beach for the afternoon or come early and watch the sunrise.

Home was immaculate , everything was pristine and accessible. The outdoor area was relaxing and very therapeutic. We had the pleasure of admiring the wildlife while enjoying our morning coffee. A Doe was within walking distance…one can’t get closer to nature than that. We definitely enjoyed our stay. Will definitely be our list for future getaways.

My family had a wonderful time at the Owls Nest! The kids absolutely loved the upstairs play area, as well as the play equipment in the backyard and nearby at the beach. We had a great time playing games in the open backyard and sitting by the fire. We had a lovely time, and would definitely return!

The Owls Nest was exactly what my wife and I were looking for after a long journey. It was an extremely peaceful and relaxing experience. Daniel was very helpful with any information that we needed and left easy to understand instructions upon arrival. I highly recommend to anyone seeking a calm retreat from the busy world.
Joshua C.
Owl's Nest, October 2025
First and foremost, the house was clean. We have booked some places on AB&B that were certainly lacking in the cleanliness department. Secondly, and in my option, as important as the first Daniel was a great host and responded immediately when I did have a question. The house was as beautiful as the way it looks in the pictures. My wife and I were celebrating a pretty big milestone and really just wanted county peace and quiet, the Owl Nest delivered in spades. The neighborhood had a quiet time after 10 I believe so you didn’t have to worry about loud music from neighbors, for an old guy, I appreciate that. The hot tube was nice to unwind after all of the relaxing we did each day but the house is close enough to DC AND the Virginia Beach area to make a day trip if you wanted to. My favorite part was the 7-12 deer that would pass through each morning as I drank my coffee on the patio. Great place to Stay.

Wow, this house and nearby lake are fantastic. The home is very spacious with great amenities for kids. The upstairs bedroom with 4 built in bunkbeds and awesome toys was a dream for my 2 and 4 year olds. The beach was right across the street- the water was warm and the sandy shore was perfect for kids to play in and to launch the kayak. It was a perfect peaceful weekend away in nature.

An immaculate home to go on vacation!! Me and my family went for my son’s 8th birthday and we all ended up enjoying!!! It’s a perfect getaway. The host Daniel is a super host friendly and always responding. Very thankful to him. We are definitely going back!!

What a great lake house! Stayed during the off season and it was like we had the lake to ourselves! Stayed with toddlers and they absolutely had the best vacation (lake is a short walk, two playgrounds, a wagon at the house and toys galore!) adults had a blast too! Can’t wait to go back!

Vince S.
Owl's Nest, September 2025
Perfect property for families. We had 4 young kids and an infant, and the bunk room with toys, play house, play kitchen, and TV as a favorite for all of them. The backyard is big and relatively flat - great for soccer and frisbee - and the lake with private community beach is right across the street. The house felt spacious and clean. Fire pit and hot tub built into the patio were great. Highly recommend. We’ll definitely be back again!

Owl's Nest, September 2025
Most definitely a 5 star home! We throughly enjoyed our stay. The house was wonderful and there was so much attention to details. Daniel was very easy to reach out to and very helpful. The area is wonderful. Hands down we would return to this house.

Owl's Nest, August 2025
Owls Nest was simply gorgeous! My kids loved every bit of the home and are already asking when we can visit again! There's a lovely man-made beach just a quick 2-minute walk away. We had a blast with the kayaks and enjoyed some fun swim time! Our toddler had a fantastic time playing in the sand. The home had all the essentials, was super clean, and even had some toys in the garage to enjoy by the lake. The pool is a short 5-minute drive or a 20-minute stroll in a private area, so no worries about crowds. The only hiccup was renting a boat. As a first-timer at Lake Anna, I wasn't aware of the private/public split. You can pay extra to have the boat delivered to the home's dock. We decided to save nearly half the cost by taking a quick 13-minute drive to the public side. Our 8-hour boat ride was fantastic, plus there are lots of restaurants you can boat right to. What a wonderful time!

This is a very nice home at Lake Anna. It a very short walk to the lake and beach. Our grandchildren loved the play set in the yard and the bunk room. The house was perfect for our family. The lake is pretty warm in July, but there is a great community pool in the development. We would like to come back in the fall when the lake is a little cooler. We enjoyed the covered porch and fire pit patio. Our grandchildren made smores and we had a good week.

Place was amazing. I think we pretty much used every single amenity. Loved it!

Owl's Nest, July 2025
I’m so glad we rented Owl’s Nest for our trip to visit family in Virginia. It was even better than the pictures posted on Airbnb. Everything went smoothly and Daniel was incredible in communicating every step of the process. The house was perfect for my family and they all loved staying there; especially my grandkids who fell in love with the bunk room. The kitchen was fully stocked which made it easy to prepare meals. The house came stocked with all the essentials (like toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and they even had pool towels, etc). The house was impeccable. We used the fire pit one night and roasted s’more’s while enjoying looking at the stars. The hot tub was a huge hit with the grandkids. They used it every single day. The backyard of this magnificent house was very private and loved the feel of being in the woods, including spotting fire flies and deer at night. We would definitely consider staying here again! Thanks! Ava Spooner

Daniel’s home was, hands down, one of the nicest AirBnBs we ever stayed in. Not only was the home in pristine condition, the home was well stocked with amenities and fun items for the family. Daniel and his cohosts were very responsive when we had an issue with an appliance, and they went out of their way to accommodate our requests. We highly recommend this stay for those looking for lovely Lake Anna retreats.
Joe S.
Owl's Nest, June 2025

We had a fantastic week. The property is beautiful, spacious, and clean. We enjoyed plenty of time in the hot tub and had a beautiful family dinner on the patio. My kids loved the bunk bed room and the bed in the primary room was so comfy. Highly recommend!

Had an enjoyable stay. Beautiful house, well equipped, comfortable beds. We stayed with a group of three couples, three toddlers and two infants and there was plenty of space. The playroom, toys, and playground were perfect for the kids. Good location across the street from the beach. Would stay again.

Everything we needed for a quiet getaway. Master bedroom has the most comfortable bed ever! Dimmable lights throughout the home is a really nice touch. Everything in working order and very clean.

We had a great time at the Owl’s Nest! The house was absolutely stunning and extremely clean, it felt brand-new! The community was really nice and we had the lake and hot tub right there. Daniel was very responsive and communicative, and it was a wonderful experience overall.
Henrietta K.
Owl's Nest, March 2025
The house seems like a relatively new build. It was modern, beautiful and cozy. Good open spaces and multiple places to sit and connect. We were a group of 3 moms with their 5 children. The upstairs bedroom/play area was perfect for a kid sleepover experience, while the moms each got a big (very comfy) bed to themselves. We used the hot tub and the playground and maximized the green space in the back yard. Nearly everyone took a turn in the modern bathtub in the master bathroom! We took daily walks down to the lake and little beach. The playground at the beach was also fun and different than what was at the house. It was a great location for our trip! If you're interested in doing some activities around Lake Anna, it did seem like most things were about 30 minutes away. We had a little trouble getting in and a few questions throughout our stay; our hosts were quite responsive.
Andee P.
Owl's Nest, March 2025
This was a wonderful place to go with family and friends. The little ones had a blast in the game room, the amenities were incredible, and the beds were super comfortable. Unable to use any of the water amenities due to the cold, but everything else was incredible! 100% recommend this place and might come back once the little ones grow up a little and can enjoy more as well!
Daniel P.
Owl's Nest, February 2025
I had a wonderful two-night stay at Daniel’s Airbnb. The space was exactly as described—well-appointed, modern, and super clean. It was the perfect peaceful retreat I was looking for with friends. I appreciated the attention to detail and thoughtful touches throughout. Highly recommend staying here for anyone seeking a relaxing and comfortable getaway!

We had a great stay! The home is in pristine condition and has amazing amenities not found in other AirBNBs or even hotels. Thanks for making it a great stay.
Jigar A.
Owl's Nest, December 2024
From start to finish this was one of my best Airbnb experiences, and I've only had awesome Airbnbs. Daniel was very friendly, informative, and responsive. The house was immaculate! My parents checked in before I arrived and my mother is one of the most particular and overly clean people I know and she was stunned by how beautiful and clean the house was. Usually, even in the best locations my mom would have her Clorox wipes and Lysol sanitizing surfaces and making the place ready for us to live in. With this house, I never saw a cleaning supply in sight. 45 years I've known this sweet lady and this is the FIRST time she hasn't felt compelled to clean on arrival. That's huge and it has landed this house as a favorite since it allowed my mom to come in and relax right away. The amenities, the backyard with fire pit and hot tub were the icing on the cake. My 11 year old had the best birthday ever and it would not have been as good at any other location. Can't wait to visit again soon!

The host was absolutely amazing from the start of the process to the end. We got to the house early and were able to get in and start enjoying ourselves in this beautiful home. With each of my family member arriving throughout the night everyone was quite happy and in awe of this home. 10/10 recommend!!!

Owl's Nest, November 2024
We were so happy with the house. It was just as the pictures promised. My grandchildren got out of the car and went running for the swing set. We had a hard time getting them in the house. Once they saw their bedroom my middle grandchild had a great time playing with the kitchen and dollhouse. We were in the house most of our time. The kitchen was fully stocked. We made a cake and used the crock pot plenty of cookware and dishes. Beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were stocked. No problem if you forgot shampoo or conditioner. There were 5 adults and 3 children with plenty of room inside and outside of the house. We were never on top of each other. We are talking about returning next year maybe closer to the end of the season. Thank you Dan for a very relaxing vacation. Pamala

Our stay at this beautiful Lake Anna property was exceptional! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the serene surroundings and stunning views of the lake. The house was immaculately clean and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We loved spending time on the spacious deck, enjoying our morning coffee while taking in the views. The evenings were equally magical, with the fire pit creating the perfect atmosphere for family conversations under the stars. The hosts were incredibly responsive and made sure we had everything we needed to feel at home. We loved the book collection available. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind and recharge. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway by the lake, this is the spot! We will definitely be returning.
Ciarra S.
Owl's Nest, October 2024
The Owl’s Nest is the perfect getaway from DC. A spectacular location, cozy home with every amenity, and wonderful hosts. We spent a few days enjoying the porch, fire pit, hot tub, and grill. Sitting outside listening to the wind in the tall trees was simply the best. We explored a local winery, went on long walks, and truly had the most relaxing time. Our hosts were very communicative and clear with instructions. They made everything so easy and stress free. We felt completely safe and comfortable, and would absolutely return!
Kim S.
Owl's Nest, October 2024
The home is beautiful, new, and very well-equipped. The host really thought of everything! The bed was amazing, high-end liens and mattress was perfect. I love there was a sound machine in the bedroom already. The house was spotless, and clutter free. We did not use due to the shortness of trip and was working remotely but there were lots of offerings for outdoor water. fun. The community was very peaceful, we enjoyed walking around the neighborhood.
