The Space:

Wade a While is a light-filled lake home built for togetherness, with big open-water views from nearly every gathering space.



Main level

- Great Room: Vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams, comfortable sofas, a large Smart TV, and a wall of windows framing the lake.

- Kitchen: Granite counters, a peninsula with bar seating, stainless appliances, and double wall ovens, open to the living and dining areas.

- Dining: A farmhouse table for six under beamed ceilings, steps from the deck.

- Primary Suite: A restful main-level retreat with a king bed, a large walk-in closet (with pack-n-play and room for baby gear), and a private ensuite bath with a walk-in travertine shower.

- Plus a half bath, a full laundry room, and direct access to the wraparound deck.

- Please note: Upon entering through the front door, there are 7 steps up to the main living level, where you'll find the great room, kitchen, dining area, primary suite, and wraparound deck.

- Bunk Room: A fun, kid-friendly room with two bunk beds, sleeping up to five.

- Queen Bedroom: A comfortable, private queen room on the lower level.

- A full bathroom serves the lower level, which opens to a covered stamped-concrete patio.



Outdoor living

- A wraparound composite deck with dining and a pergola-shaded hot tub.

- A covered lower patio with dining and a porch glider, steps from the yard.

- A lakeside fire pit ringed with Adirondack chairs.

- 140+ feet of private shoreline with a small sandy beach at the water's edge, kayaks and paddleboards, and a covered boathouse with a shaded tiki bar and sun deck. The boathouse bar is equipped with a full-size fridge with freezer, a microwave, a sink, a stereo, a TV, and its own WiFi. The water off the dock is a deep 7+ feet, perfect for swimming right off the dock. Guests are welcome to dock a boat at the private dock, where bumpers and cleats are provided (the covered slips and boat lift are reserved for the owner).



The home comfortably sleeps up to nine across three bedrooms, with easy indoor-outdoor flow on both levels.



Guest Access:

Self check-in with keyless entry makes arrival easy at any hour; your door code is sent before your stay. A large gravel driveway offers plenty of off-street parking alongside the attached two-car garage. From the driveway, a short, gentle path leads down to the yard, dock, and boathouse.



The Neighborhood:

Wade a While sits in the Blounts Harbour community on the quiet public (cool) side of Lake Anna, a 13,000-acre lake known for boating, fishing, and easy summer days. You are tucked among mature trees on calm, open water, yet close to lakeside restaurants, marinas, and Virginia wineries. Spend your days on the water and your evenings by the fire, then explore the shops and tasting rooms that make Lake Anna a year-round destination.



Getting Around:

Lake Anna is an easy drive from much of the region: roughly an hour from Fredericksburg, Richmond, and Charlottesville, and about two hours from Washington, D.C. A vehicle is recommended for getting around the lake and reaching nearby marinas, restaurants, and wineries. Full driving directions and your door code are sent before check-in.
