Everything You Need
We’ve done our best to provide you with all the amenities you need to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. With that said, if you have any suggestions for things to add to the house, feel free to drop us a line using the email link in navigation above.
Fully-Stocked Kitchen
The kitchen is fully-stocked with everything that you need to prepare meals for breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between. You’ll have access to a full set of pots, pans, cutting boards, roasting pans, skillets and cooking utensils together with plates, bowls, silverware and glasses to serve up to twelve. The kitchen also has a crockpot, rice cooker, mixer, coffee grinder, Keurig coffee maker, waffle maker, microwave, toaster, blender, gas stove, convection oven and warming drawer. In short, it has it all. :)
Outdoor Toys & Watercraft
There is nothing like a day out on the water at Lake Anna. Guests have access to a three-person canoe, two fishing kayaks and two paddle boards to use during their stay. Life jackets (adult, child and toddler) and oars are also available. For warmer weather, an assortment of floats are provided for those that prefer to simply lounge in the water. For those days when getting out on the water is not possible, guests can play teether ball, bocci ball, croquet, gaga ball in the eight-sided gaga pit or corn hole on our regulation Slick Woody boards. A variety of balls (footballs, soccer balls, and kick balls) are available in the outdoor activity shed.
On-Site Tesla & EV Charging
The garage has a 240 volt Tesla charger and a 240 volt NEMA 14-50 outlet to charge up to two electric vehicles at once. Both chargers are located in the garage, and guests can park one car in the garage during their stay.
True High-Speed Internet
Whether you’re looking to telecommute, join a video conference call, relax with a streaming video or play an online video game, you and your entire group can do it over Laken Life’s Gigabit (1000 Mbps) Internet Service through Comcast Xfinity. Don’t be fooled by other properties promising high-speed internet. Unfortunately, true high-speed internet is quite limited on Lake Anna with most properties offering satellite or much slower options.
Sleeps 12
Laken Life sleeps twelve. On the second floor, there is a master suite with a king bed, a guest bedroom with a queen bed, and a bunk room with two triple bunk beds (twin size). On the first floor, there is another master suite with a queen bed and a sunroom with a sleeper sofa (queen size). There are also three full baths for the guests.
Campfire & Lakeside Fire Pit Areas
Two ares for outdoor fires are available on-site. A traditional campfire with log benches is provided in the wooded area in front of the house by the Gaga ball pit. Down by the lake, enjoy a fire in the stone fire pit with adirondack chairs and wooden stumps for seating.
Waterfront & Easy Water Access
A stay at Lake Anna is all about the water, and the waterfront property at Laken Life House is designed to give you and your guests plenty of opportunity to relax and enjoy it all. The swimming and fishing pier is in 5ft of water for safe swimming and had a swim ladder attached to the side. Further down the waterfront is the boat dock with mooring cleats to tie up a boat during your stay. The boat dock also includes stairs and a hand rail into the water to make launching the canoe, kayaks or paddle boards super easy. Access to the community boat launch ramp is also provided with your stay, and we created an on-site gravel driveway for our guests to park their boat trailers.
Gameroom
For those days when the weather is not letting you get outside, the game room in the basement will keep you and the kids busy for hours. There is a full-size pool table and electric dart board with over 30+ games. As you’re playing, ask Alexa to play some tunes from Apple Music or belt out your own version of the latest hit with the karaoke machine. Also take advantage of the Pop-A-Shot to see if you can break 100 points, play some poker or other board games (Risk anyone?) or go retro on one of the five gaming consoles (Atari, Nintendo NES Classic, Sega Genesis, Nintendo Super NES, and Playstation Classic). We everyone is ready to relax, turn on the gas fireplace, cook up some popcorn in the popcorn machine and watch a Netflix movie on the 50-inch 4K Roku TV.
Alexa & Apple Music
While you cook, play or settle down for the night, you can enjoy music, news and even a quick game of Jeopardy on the Alexa devices in every room of the house. We especially like the ability to use Alexa to make announcements throughout the entire house to let those perhaps playing downstairs that dinner is ready or it is time to cook s’mores at the campfire.
Fireplaces
Cozy up to a warm fire in the family room next to the wood-burning fireplace or catch a movie in the basement with a fire in the gas fireplace.
Amazon Luna Game Console
Need a gaming fix or simply some down time? Enjoy the Amazon Luna Game Console with the Luna+ and Family Channel gaming subscriptions on the family room TV. Lune + includes a growing library of games including Control, GRID, and Metro Exodus while the Family Channel includes nothing but E and E10+ rated games such as SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom.
Hot Spring 7-Person Hot Tub
Enjoy a warm soak and massage from your shoulders to your toes in our Hot Spring 7-person Hot Tub after a day of enjoying Laken Life. The LED lights allows you to pick the lighting to fit your mood, and the Freshwater Salt System and dual action filtration system ensure that you have a great water to enjoy.
