About this property
Blue Skies At Lake Anna, A Phenomenal Waterfront Retreat
Visit Blue Skies at Lake Anna and make it your preferred vacation home. Awesome waterfront, spacious yard, comfortable home - what more could you ask for?
FAQ:
Is this home waterfront? - Yes, and it features a really gentle slope from the house to the water.
Does Blue Skies at Lake Anna have WiFi? - Yes.
Can we use the boat lift? - Yes.
Is it Public or Private side? - Public.
Can my dog stay? - With approval and payment of a pet fee/pet/visit.
This WATERFRONT home offers the perfect location to enjoy everything LAKE ANNA has to offer. Blue herons swoop and fish jump throughout the protected, deep-water cove, perfect for kayaks and canoes. For your paddling pleasure, enjoy the cove or main lake with the two kayaks . If you want a slower pace, the pedal boat is perfect.
The gentle slope from the house to water's edge guarantees that guests of all ages can enjoy the waterfront and dock. Watch the kids play in the sandbox or swim in the semi-enclosed area close to the bank, or enjoy the deep water from the end of the dock.
Marvel at the huge master bedroom and bath with a private balcony lakeside. The third bedroom has its own lakeside balcony as well. Three bedrooms and two baths upstairs are complimented by two pullout couches and a full bath on the main floor.
Enjoy visits with family and friends in the open concept first floor that extends to a wide deck, patio and fire pit close to water's edge. The WiFi, pool table, satellite TV, games, DVDs and books offer something for everyone.
Still interested in Blue Skies at Lake Anna? This part of the narrative lets you know a bit about the on-line travel agency’s operations and my business practices. If Blue Skies at Lake Anna looks like a contender, read on.
Prior to booking, the on-line travel agency does not share your contact information with me which restricts us from communicating outside of their platform. After I accept your booking through this on-line travel agency, I will then be able to see your contact information, and I will reach out to you right away to be sure that Blue Skies at Lake Anna is a good fit for your party. Then, I will send you the Rental Agreement for your e-signature.
You’ll notice that Blue Skies at Lake Anna does not offer a discount for a week-long booking. Discounts cost you more because VRBO commission is charged on the pre-discounted price, so I’ve reduced the cost for mid-week dates, which gives you the same price for seven days as if I offered you a discount on the week. Winning!!!
Now, back to the lake: Lake Anna is the second largest lake located entirely in Virginia. It encompasses 250 miles of shoreline and 13,000 acres of water. The lake is 17 miles long and surrounded by farms and forest.
Lake Anna has 2 sections, the main or public side and the private side. The public section consists of 9,600 acres with marinas, restaurants and commercial business. The private side is divided by 3 rock dikes and consists of 3,400 acres. There are no public boat ramps, marinas or restaurants on the private side; only homes adorn the shoreline.
Blue Skies at Lake Anna is located mid-lake on the public side, close to restaurants, marinas, Lake Anna State Park and other attractions by either boat or car.
Attractions: Lake Anna is perfect for boating, jet-skiing, fishing and water activities, but there are many other activities to enjoy while visiting this area. Some attractions include hiking trails at Lake Anna State Park, wineries (Lake Anna Winery, Mattaponi Winery, Cooper Vineyards, Weston Farms and more), Kings Dominion Theme Park, Monticello (Thomas Jefferson's Home), Montpelier (James & Dolly Madison's Home), Civil War battlefields, Bluemont Concerts and Dances, Fridays After Five, the Mineral Bluegrass Festival, fine dining, shopping and more. Lake Anna is located close to Fredericksburg, Richmond and Charlottesville. Blue Skies at Lake Anna is owned by a local who can offer you suggestions to round out your vacation itinerary.
About the pricing: Service fee is a VRBO fee and cannot be adjusted by the Host. Host fee is cleaning and a single pet fee, if applicable. If more than one dog is approved, additional pet fee is required.

About the host
Hosted by Kenyne (Kate) Killham
As a native Nebraskan, I always loved lakes more than oceans. However, I didn't like the cold and wind that permeates Nebraska winters, so I moved to Virginia many years ago. Combining my love of lakes with the moderate Virginia climate makes Lake Anna a dream come true.
I retired after a 30 year career in law enforcement and have moved into fun post-career jobs as winery festival coordinator at Lake Anna Winery and a newspaper reporter. I'm also involved in volunteer activities, some of which revolved around the well-being of our children. I'm becoming more addicted to bridge as each week passes.
Feel free to ask me about the lake and the number of wonderful restaurants that we have. I wrote the 2014 and 2015 Lure of Lake Anna restaurant guides, so I've done my research.

Why they chose this property
Steve and I actively manage this property. I will be prompt in addressing any questions or concerns that arise, before, during and after your visit.
Steve and I love working on Blue Skies during the off-season. We've made many improvements over the past four plus years. He excels at carpentry, drywall, name it, he does it.
I want you to enjoy your Lake Anna visit whether you rent Blue Skies or one of the other excellent properties.

What makes this property unique
Our purchase of this home was a an easy decision. After looking at several other properties, Blue Skies was the obvious winner. Where some homes have many stairs down to the water, Blue Skies is practically level. Many subdivisions lack mature trees, but Tall Pines is, just as the name suggests, covered with tall pines. Water around other Lake Anna docks may be very shallow in late summer, but Blue Skies always has good depth. I could go on and on, but visit Blue Skies and see for yourself.
