Beautiful and well appointed home. The host had special touches that made us feel at home. I walk with a cane so I was not able to go down all the way to the floating dock, but my family did. I enjoyed the second level terrace with beautiful views. Would like to return in the Fall to see the foliage turn golden. I'm sure it's magical.

Could not have picked better location, house, and view. Retired USN buddies who could get to DC at the same time...grill for steaks, deck for great view, and kitchen stocked! Owner was extremely communicative and responsive. Proximity to Distilleries we wanted to tour a bonus, and 5 min drive to downtown Mananas for super recommendation from owner for dinner. Pretty much a lock we are coming back to do repeat trip.

Greak lake side cabin.

We had a great stay. The cabin was very clean and well stocked. It was very accessible and within short drives to all of the DC area sites. Downtown Manassas was cute and had some good restaurants. We would stay here again.

Wonderful Lake View and Amazing Host!

Our February weekend trip at this warm, cozy and inviting home was perfect! The house was even better than the pictures and had everything we needed. The host, Karen, was very kind and prompt in responding to any questions we had. The house was even supplied with a snack basket, bottled water, coffee, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and even a bottle of wine upon our arrival. We will definitely stay here again if we are in the area!

Peaceful Nature

We had a lovely stay at the lake! We loved the beautiful trees and nature all around. The house was spotless with everything we could possibly need. We enjoyed the gorgeous view from inside and out. It was also very easy to explore the surrounding area. We caught the metro at the Vienna station and went into DC several times. The area around the property had plenty of stores and restaurants. We made wonderful memories!

Fantastic View - Lakefront home

Charming lake home. We stayed here to attend the Solheim Cup in Gainesville Va. Easy ride in and excellent place to relax in the evenings. Check in was easy and communication with host was excellent. Highly recommend this VRBO. Note: There’s many steps to reach dock. Climb back up is a little strenuous.

Beautiful Respite from the Business of the City

Our family came to town to celebrate our son's wedding. It was a very busy four day celebration with events in and around Bristow and Manasas. This lovely lake home was the perfect spot to grab some quiet and rest. Super cute home, beautiful views. It was just what we expected from the pictures on vrbo. Karen was really good about answering questions promptly when we had them. It was a lovely stay in a very unique vrbo.
