Pluses: Lots of room for the extended family, everything clean and ready to go when we arrived, and the best whirlpool anywhere! Decor was perfect, very refreshing, thoughtful seating areas. Full washer and dryer, very convenient. Dining area great for gathering and playing games after dinner. Firepit was another lovely gathering spot. Minuses (were minor): Couldn't get tv to work in master bedroom, and if you prefer not to use non-stick cookware,you'll need to byo.

Wonderful home with great views and flow throughout. Held our family Thanksgiving where we met from three different states to gather. Huge Firepit area so bring plenty of wood. A few glitches with dish and internet service but probably due to lack of use in colder months. Overall, wonderful time had by the entire family.

The host was very pleasant and accommodating on check in and check out. The location was very nice and with some attention it could be great. However during our stay we could not get in touch with the host for a period of 24 hours when the wifi failed (and we later learned the wifi -- which was out most of the weekend we were there, is generally spotty.) House was configured well but maintenance and service needs more attention: dishwasher was full and not clean when we arrived; some frying pans were put away with encrusted food so we had to rewash them; only 3 of 5 burners on the stove top worked, and then only with a lighting stick to start them; some light bulbs in the dining area were out and we could find no replacement bulbs so did without; not all the rooms had toilet paper when we arrived.. Lock box was very difficult to work when we arrived because it is old and the mechanism encrusted --after 20 minutes and calling the host we were lucky to get it to open we were never able to close it, so when we left had to let the owner know it could not be securely closed. The boat house was unusable (unclean, screens laying around, webs). We communicated all this to the pleasant host who responded that she would attend to all these things, so it may be improved.

Family vacation

The house and cove were beautiful!! Plenty of space for our family of 9. There are many things to comment on though. The first thing would be the cleanliness of the house, garage, and outdoor shower. The outdoor shower had mud and mold on the ground and nobody wanted to shower there. The kitchen drawers were dirty and so was the downstairs. The bunkroom even had animal crackers all over the floor when we arrived. There is mold in the downstairs bedroom closet. There were many missing smoke detectors where there were just wires hanging down. It listed a canoe, but did not have one. The garage was dirty and smelled really bad. There were ripped screens and a ziptied shower head. There were rips in the sofa and broken handles on the foosball table. We also had problems with the stovetop because it wouldn't light. Sent a message to the owner, but no response. The other big negative was that we were responsible for taking our trash to the dump. This was very disappointing and not listed in the house description. We pay thousands for the week and have to drive our trash to the dump. Even had to take a bag 5 hours to our home because the dump was closed when we left. I was very disapponted about the cleanliness and safety of the house, especially the mold in the closet and food all over the floor. We pay a lot for the cleaning fee and it was definitely not cleaned well.

Family Vacation!

Our week long stay was enjoyable! The view of the lake from the main level allowed our elders to watch the family doing water activities without the heat of being outside. Fire pit was amazing for smores at night! Suggest bringing a canopy for sun cover on the dock area! All 6 bedrooms do not have closets so plan to use the dressers provided or pull from your suitcase. Pillows are flat and not sure comforters are washed since they do not go out for laundering with the sheets per the leaving instructions. I washed them when we arrived so that alleviated that concern.The kitchen has plenty of room for cooking and we also used the outdoor grills. One propane and the other is charcoal. They needed a good cleaning that we were a little bummed we had to do before use. Inside fridge was plenty big especially since garage fridge was not working properly.We rented paddle-boards and tandem kayaks for the week since the kayaks at the house were not quite what we expected upon arrival. They are on the smaller size. Totally suitable, we expected the larger upscale style kayaks being it’s a lake house rental. Garage smells awful and my husband suspects the rubber mat on the floor is the culprit since he saw mold under it in multiple areas. Water, concrete, and rubber mats don’t mix well.With 10 people we took the trash to the dumping area every 2 days. It’s approximately 10 mins each way.All and all we had an amazing time!

Family getaway.

We booked this for a weekend getaway for our family group of 15. The location is amazing and the house is a great stay for a group of this size. Sadly it appeared that nobody had cleaned the house after the last guests. It was frustrating to need to spend the first part of our vacation cleaning a house that charges a hefty cleaning fee on the rental, but even sadder that the host failed to make any attempt to rectify the situation. I offered to send pictures of the state of the home and discuss the situation but received no response from the host. All in all , it's a fantastic property but badly in need of some attention to detail or at a bare minimum they need to eliminate the cleaning fee if they don't clean it.

Triathlon Team Stay for an Event at Pleasants Landing

Our triathlon club stayed at the property for the weekend to race in the “Rumpass in Bumpass” triathlon by kinetic Multisports. The home is amazing, it’s a perfect location and close proximity to event, and it easily accommodated the 10 of us with beds to spare! The owner was responsive via text message and very helpful when we had questions.

Perfect Lake Anna Destination

Stayed at this lake house and basically became a new person. Woke up to the lake like I was in a Disney movie. The view of the lake and dock is absolutely stunning ! You didn’t even have to leave the house to fish- The kids fished from the dock and caught a ginormous bass and in the morning fishers would come to our cove to fish. We brought our boat and tied it up to the dock and didn’t have to go far for good tubing, wake surfing, and wake boarding! The house was clean, cozy, and had a perfect spot where my husband could work while the kids and I fished, played pool, and boated. If peace and quiet had a location, it’s here. 12/10 would move in if they let me.

Thanksgiving 2024

The house was spacious , impressive and very comfortable. Unfortunately it needs some maintenance (of issues submitted to owner) and updating of kitchen amenities Plates, glasses, eating utensils, etc need to accommodate the 16 people staying in the house. What was there reminded me of thrift store leftovers. The fees charged exceeded the quality provided. A brillo pad on some of the pots would do wonders Location was perfect for what we needed, bedding was plentiful and comfortable -my family loved the building and grounds Memos left for renters and agreement details that owner wanted me to sign were threatening and made me feel anxious and uncomfortable. Perhaps they have been burned by renters in the past and were trying to prevent recurrence? In all the years and many places rented for my family gatherings via VRBO and othere sites this is the first time I will say I was disappointed

Extensive cleaning with a cleaning fee

Comfortable property, however we had a very long and detailed list of chores to do before we could check out, even though we payed for cleaning service. We also had to take our trash with us and bring our own trash bags. Left the trip with a bit of frustration. If you plan on staying here plan on spending few hours cleaning.

Family Weekend

Very pretty Property. Comfortable, Welcoming, and spacious. The beds and pillows very comfy and nice. Beautiful views. Kitchen has everything needed. We loved the fire place and fire pit. One tip would be to have more information about how the all TV's work - Instructions on starting the gas fire place, fixing the ice machine, and the one burner on the stove would be a plus and having all light fixtures working upon arrival. Great Family Location. We hope to visit this property again.

Family and Friends gathering

What can I say! This was our second time staying at Busbee's Retreat, and this stay was outstanding. This house sits in a beautiful location, lots of family activities provided. We loved the fire pit! There were also enough separate spaces to enjoy gathering in smaller or larger groups. (We used them all). I would definitely rent this house again. We booked Busbees Retreat back in 2017 and the stay was just as good this time as well. We used the house for a relaxing weekend. We cooked in the kitchen as well as the grills outside. All the spaces were clean and comfortable. The instructions were easy, communication with the owners was timely and exceptional. Also, information was readily available. The home and area are beautiful. We enjoyed sitting on the dock and even caught a few fish. Overall, Busbee's will be on our list for our next family gathering.
