What Guests Are Saying

5.0 27 reviews

The kitchen at Dockside Dreams has everything labeled and organized so you can actually find what you need — a detail guests rave about along with the pantry space that fits groceries for 13 people. This spacious lakefront home sits just 50 feet from the water, with kayaks, tubes, life vests, and a dock that kept families, teens, and multi-generational groups busy swimming, fishing, and playing all day. When weather pushes everyone inside, the game room downstairs — stocked with board games, air hockey, and arcade-style entertainment — keeps kids entertained for hours.

We had a great long weekend at this lake house!

We had a great long weekend at this lake house! The house easily accomodated 3 families (13 people total) with a big range in kid ages! We brought our own boat and utilizing the community launch was great and easy! Water levels were low but we all still enjoyed swimming, fishing, boating, and shell collecting at the home. Kitchen well stocked and lots of pantry storage space for all the food and drinks we brought. Game room and board game cupboard were well stocked! Had some minor issues with HVAC and EV charger but host was very responsive in getting them resolved. Would definitely stay again!

The property is spacious, modern, well laid out and comfortable. Provides prime access to Lake Anna and private for group fun and water entertainment. Our group enjoyed every inch of the house and were impressed with the setup. We surely recommend this property and would certainly return.

Daniel was so helpful from the start! I had questions for clarification to pick a place, & even once i booked, he always sent reminders, additional instructions, and responded so fast when I needed to confirm items I may need to pack vs if its already provided. All of us loved the lake access and kayaks, the bedrooms, the common areas such as all the board games and even arcade like game activities downstairs! Everything was stocked up. The check out directions were also so easy & clear. Would stay again in coming to the area
