Covenant Cove is a quiet, established waterfront community on the exclusive private side of Lake Anna. With over 3,400 acres of clear blue water perfect for boating, swimming, fishing, and water sports, plus the protection of a no-wake cove right in front of the home, you get the best of both worlds: easy lake access and peaceful, calm water at your dock. The property sits on nearly an acre of landscaped grounds, and the Covenant Cove HOA includes a community boat ramp, pier, and picnic area available for guest use.

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.
Access
You have full access to the home, the boat dock with tie-up cleats and floating jet ski dock, the private beach, and the entire property grounds. The Covenant Cove HOA also provides access to the community boat ramp, pier, and picnic area; we will share the gate code and parking pass before your stay. Please let us know if you plan to rent a boat or jet ski so we can refer you to our premier partner DV Rentals.

Wine Tours: Discounted hourly rate for our guests with our partner, Monticello Wine Tour & Coach Company. Just let us know if you are interested and we will make the introduction!
Space
Welcome to Designed Dreams, an exceptional 5,600+ sq ft waterfront estate on the exclusive private side of Lake Anna. Recently remodeled and beautifully appointed for family and group stays, the home offers generous gathering spaces, upscale finishes, and a comfortable lakefront setting.

The main level opens with a grand foyer that flows into a vaulted great room featuring floor-to-ceiling windows framing the lake and custom black millwork. The gourmet kitchen is outfitted with Wi-Fi-enabled Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, double wall ovens with warming drawer, induction cooktop with telescoping vent, 2-inch Italian marble countertops, and an oversized island with seating. A walk-in pantry with motion-activated lighting and a Sub-Zero beverage center with 86-bottle humidor complete the chef’s setup. The dining area seats your full group with lake views, and two main-level king bedrooms share a beautifully appointed hall bath with shower.

Upstairs, three luxurious king bedrooms each have ensuite baths. The primary suite is a true retreat: king bed, private covered balcony overlooking the lake, and a spa-like marble bathroom with freestanding soaking tub, dual vanities, walk-in tiled shower, and private water closet.

The finished walk-out lower level is built for play and rest: a spacious family room with custom dry bar and beverage center, a game room with foosball and ping pong, an arcade-style video game machine, a PS5 setup, a sixth king bedroom with Jack-and-Jill bath, and a bunk room sleeping four (two twin-over-full bunks). A spare refrigerator in the garage gives you extra room for cold drinks and overflow groceries.

Step outside to expansive decks and patios, manicured lawn, fire pit, hot tub, screened gazebo with electric, outdoor shower, and your own private sandy beach. At the water, the covered boat dock has tie-up cleats along the left side and a floating jet ski dock available for your watercraft, plus composite decking and 175 feet of shoreline on a deep, no-wake cove. The property also includes a private basketball court sized for regulation pickleball (net, paddles, and balls provided), plus dart board, bocce, cornhole, a beach wagon, and a cooler ready to head down to the water. Take advantage of our 2 adult kayaks, 1 youth kayak, and paddleboard!

Nest smart thermostats, Philips Hue lighting, dual-zone HVAC, whole-house water filtration, and high-speed fiber internet at both the home and boat dock round out the modern luxury. Bluetooth speakers on the back deck keep the music going during outdoor gatherings.
Transit
Just two hours from Washington, D.C., Designed Dreams is an easy drive from the DC/MD/VA region for weekend or extended escapes. The home features a large paved circular driveway with ample parking. Please park in the driveway only. No parking on grass, street, or shoulder.

What Guests Are Saying

5.0 11 reviews

Guests keep coming back to Designed Dreams — one family loved it so much they've already booked next year's reunion. This lakefront home feels brand-new, with high-end appliances, thoughtful design, and a kitchen that makes cooking for a crowd effortless. The private sandy beach and large dock sit in a quiet cove where the water runs warm, perfect for kids to splash around while adults kayak or paddleboard using the gear provided. With space for 15+ guests to spread out comfortably and deer wandering through the yard at dusk, it's the kind of place where multi-generational families and large groups find exactly what they need.

Designed Dreams is a gorgeous home with tons of amenities and plenty of space for a large group to spread out. The home was clean and beautifully decorated.
We loved being right on the water with our own sandy beach area and large dock in a quiet area of the lake. The deck of the home and other outdoor spaces were well equipped to host our large group.
The only thing that could have made our stay more enjoyable is if the landscaping had been better maintained, but other than that everything was perfect!
I would absolutely stay in any of Daniel’s homes after our experience at Designed Dreams and would highly recommend him and his homes to anyone.

This property exceeded our expectations. It was extremely clean and had everything we needed and more. We had 10 adults and 3 toddlers and it was more than enough space and had a lot of necessities we needed for kids. The kitchen is so easy to cook and entertain in, comes with everything you need for a big meal.
The outside was so peaceful and the beach and dock were an added bonus! The lake water was super warm, easy to swim and fish in, we also enjoyed kayaking and padel boarding.
Daniel was an excellent host!! He was extremely responsive and gave me many tips / advice about the area & house. We have 0 complaints about our stay.
This was definitely the cleanest air b n b we stayed in!
Highly recommend if you’re looking for some R&R with an big group!
