Avoca Cove sits on the public side of Lake Anna, directly across the cove from Lake Anna State Park, where hiking trails, fishing, swimming, and nature programs are just minutes away by car. The quiet, protected cove makes for calm mornings and easy paddling close to home. Grocery stores and restaurants, including a Food Lion, are about a 15 to 20 minute drive, with marinas, wineries, and breweries scattered around the lake. Lake Anna Winery, Coyote Hole Ciderworks, and Cooling Pond Brewery are local favorites. For day trips, Kings Dominion, historic Fredericksburg, and Montpelier are all within easy reach. Richmond is about an hour away, Charlottesville about an hour and fifteen, and Washington, D.C. is roughly 90 minutes to two hours by car.

Self check-in is easy with a smart lock and a unique code for your stay. A long paved driveway leads to a large circle drive with easy, level parking for up to 8 vehicles. The main-level primary suite, an accessible walk-in shower, and step-free access make the home comfortable for guests with mobility needs. At the waterfront, guests may dock a boat at the dock; the boat lift is for owner use only.

Space
Avoca Cove is an open-concept lakefront home on the public side of Lake Anna, set at the end of a large, no-wake cove and looking straight across the water to Lake Anna State Park. The main living areas open to one another beneath large windows and skylights, so natural light and lake views follow you from the kitchen to the great room to the sun room.

MAIN LEVEL
The great room centers on a deep sectional sofa, a gas fireplace, and a 60-inch smart TV, all open to the dining area and kitchen. The dining space seats 15 between the table and the bar. A glass-wrapped sun room with floor-to-ceiling windows looks out over the lake and forest, with a record player, games, and easy seating for slow afternoons. The well-equipped kitchen is ready for big group meals, with a KitchenAid mixer, Ninja blender, and a coffee maker for lattes and cold brews. The main-level primary suite is filled with natural light from large windows and opens directly to the deck, with a king bed, a telescope at the window for stargazing, and an ensuite bath featuring a double vanity and a wheelchair-accessible walk-in shower. A main-level powder room completes the floor.

UPPER LEVEL
Two comfortable bedrooms each offer a queen bed and share a hall bath. A large bonus bedroom is built for the younger crew, with a king bed, a twin-over-full bunk, and a pull-out sofa, plus a sitting area with bean bags, a 50-inch smart TV, and an Xbox.

LOWER LEVEL
A private lower-level living room and retreat features a king bed, a sitting area with a 50-inch smart TV, and an ensuite bath. Sliding glass doors open to a walkout patio with a hanging chair and quiet, shaded lake views.

OUTDOOR LIVING
The wraparound deck runs the length of the home with a gas grill, outdoor dining for 12, two sunbeds, and four Adirondack chairs, with a mix of sun and shade through the day. A long paved driveway leads to a circle drive with easy parking for eight cars, and a wide grassy lawn is made for football, soccer, and lawn games, including cornhole, spikeball, and disc games.

WATERFRONT
Your private dock stretches 25 feet with bumpers and cleats for arriving by boat, and the boathouse offers Adirondack seating plus complimentary kayaks, paddleboards, life jackets, floats, and fishing gear. The protected cove stays calm and quiet, ideal for swimming, paddling, and lazy afternoons on the water.

EVERYTHING ELSE
High-speed WiFi, smart TVs throughout, keyless entry, central air conditioning, a gas fireplace, and full-size laundry make longer stays easy. Families will find a pack and play, a high chair, and a baby bath ready to go. Thoughtful accessibility runs throughout, including step-free entry, wide doorways and hallways, an accessible-height bed and toilet, and a roll-in shower with a bench.

Avoca Cove suits multigenerational families, large groups, and lake lovers who want room for everyone, an effortless waterfront setup, and a rare single-level, accessible layout on Lake Anna.
Transit
The home sits on the public side of Lake Anna, with Lake Anna State Park just across the cove. The nearest grocery store and restaurants (including a Food Lion) are about a 15 to 20 minute drive, and you’ll find marinas, wineries, and breweries scattered around the lake within 20 to 30 minutes. Richmond is roughly an hour away, Charlottesville about an hour and fifteen, and Washington, D.C. is around 90 minutes to two hours by car. Detailed driving directions and the exact address are provided in your check-in instructions after booking.

Guests keep coming back to the private dock at Avoca Cove — a peaceful retreat where families gather, kids play in the water with the lake toys provided, and everyone finds their own space to unwind. The home sleeps larger groups comfortably, with thoughtful touches like a kids' hangout room complete with bean bags and an arcade machine, plus a well-stocked kitchen and quality appliances that make meal prep easy.
