Really enjoyed our week long stay here with 15 of us, the space was gorgeous inside and out

Really enjoyed our week long stay here with 15 of us, the space was gorgeous inside and out. The lake was perfect for a swim off our dock, we did smores around the fire pit, we could all fit at the dinner table together which is amazing, the kitchen was huge and open, the teens had tons of their own space downstairs including a movie theater ! Could not have been better. Will come again.

A World Away worked perfectly for our large family

A World Away worked perfectly for our large family. We had nine adults and seven kids in six family groups. The way the house was set up worked perfectly for each family group to have their own area but then there were common areas big enough for all of us to gather. The outside was great for swimming and playing and you can see it all from inside and the decks. We rented a pontoon boat for three days and we were able to tie it up at the dock the whole time. It was a wonderful , memorable family vacation.

This was my fourth or fifth stay at Daniel’s Airbnb, and once again, everything was excellent

This was my fourth or fifth stay at Daniel’s Airbnb, and once again, everything was excellent. Daniel is always kind, welcoming, and very responsive. The house is comfortable, well-maintained, and has everything we need for a pleasant stay. I truly appreciate Daniel’s hospitality and attention to detail. I look forward to staying here again in the future with fellow teachers and educators. Thank you, Daniel, for consistently providing such a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!

Our large extended family enjoyed the property for a fun-filled lakefront gathering

Our large extended family enjoyed the property for a fun-filled lakefront gathering. We used the provided paddle boards and brought our own kayaks, beach chairs and a canoe to enjoy the very quiet and partially shaded lakefront. The wide expansive view of the lake is scenic and very private from surrounding neighbors due to the dense forest of trees. We hiked daily back and forth along the gated quiet mile long gravel street and saw one neighbor in her yard during the entire weekend. The kitchen island and table are huge and accommodated our large group perfectly – there is a garage refrigerator as well as a couple smaller refrigerators in two bedroom kitchenettes. We would definitely return to this peaceful, idyllic spot on Lake Anna.
