We stayed at this lake house on Lake Anna in late July/early August. While the house itself was generally fine—clean, reasonably well-equipped, and as described in terms of layout and amenities—we were disappointed with the lakefront experience, which was the main reason we booked the property.During our stay, the water temperature was an astonishing 102 degrees. Unfortunately, this made swimming or enjoying the lake very uncomfortable, if not impossible. What’s frustrating is that this crucial detail was not mentioned in the listing. Given how central lake access is to a rental like this, we would have appreciated a heads-up about how warm the water gets in mid-summer, especially since part of Lake Anna is known to receive discharge from a power plant that significantly raises the water temperature.If you’re planning a trip specifically for lake activities during the peak of summer, we’d recommend doing some research about the water temps or choosing a spot on the cooler side of the lake. Otherwise, if you’re just looking for a place to stay near the water and aren’t planning to swim, the house itself is perfectly serviceable.
