Hello Sunshine | 6BR Lakefront Lake Anna | Dock, Fire Pit & Game Room
Summary:
Welcome to Hello Sunshine, a six-bedroom lakefront retreat where the dock becomes the living room and the lake sets the pace for everything else. Set in Freshwater Estates on the public side of Lake Anna, this 4,000 sq ft home sleeps up to 16 with three full bathrooms, a game room built for rainy days and late nights, and a private dock with covered boat slip, a jet ski floating dock, and swim platform. Start the morning with coffee on the covered dock pavilion. By noon, the kayak is on the water. By evening, the fire pit is lit and no one wants to go inside. With an open main floor that keeps everyone connected, a chef's kitchen ready for real cooking, and a back deck off of the family room. This is the kind of place where the agenda dissolves by noon. Two hours from D.C. and a world apart.
The Space:
MAIN LEVEL
The open main floor is where the trip actually happens. A great room with vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and a stone fireplace anchors the space, flowing into a fully equipped kitchen with gray cabinetry, granite countertops, center island with breakfast bar, oven with a built in microwave, and everything a serious cook needs. The dining table seats 10, with additional seating at the breakfast nook and back deck.
Three bedrooms on the main level:
- Bedroom 1 (Primary): King bed, en-suite bath with soaking tub and walk-in shower, double vanity
- Bedroom 2: King bed, hall bath with shower
- Bedroom 3: Queen bed, hall bath with shower
LOWER LEVEL
The lower level is where the fun lives. A sprawling game room with foosball, ping pong, air hockey, large sectional for movie nights, bar counter with stools, and a cozy day day with trundle for additional sleeping.
Two bedrooms on the lower level:
- Bedroom 4: Queen bed, hall bath with shower
- Bedroom 5: Two full beds, hall bath with shower
ROOM ABOVE GARAGE

OUTDOOR LIVING
The outdoor space is where this property truly shines. Below, a paver patio with lounge chairs leads to the lakeside yard, stone fire pit with built-in seating, and terraced steps down to the private dock.
The dock includes a covered boat slip, jet ski floating dock, swim platform, and a covered pavilion with Adirondack seating and ceiling fan. Kayaks included.

Rarely is a rental better than the pictures, but this one was. We booked last minute and fully expected the house to be a step or two below the pictures but it was actually better. Pleasantly surprised and big new fans of Lake Anna.
House was great! Kids loved the air hockey and ping pong dosn stairs. Grill worked great and we enjoyed the fire pit! Also did some fishing off the dock. Great overall. Never was able to figure out fireplace downstairs but we figured out the two thermostats upstairs also control downstairs heat so got it cranking for night #2.
