Shangri-la

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Shangri-la is the perfect retreat for a secluded and fun-filled escapade! This two-story home has been thoughtfully designed and equipped with the best amenities to provide guests with the ultimate relaxation spot mere steps from the water. Upon entering, you'll be surrounded immediately by plenty of natural light thanks to all the ample windows. As you step inside, the family room will appear before your eyes. It's perfect for family gatherings and movie nights - equipped with two three-person recliner sofas, a one-person recliner, a ceiling fan, and a gas fireplace; you're in for the most relaxed time.

Additional living space can be found by the lake-facing windows, where two two-person recliners and a ceiling fan await. If you're in need of solo time or want to read your favorite novel in peace, this is the ideal spot. From here, you'll have access to both sides of the deck: one comes equipped with patio chairs and a gas grill, and the other with more patio furnishings.

The well-equipped kitchen, separated from the family room by an exquisite stone divider wall, has all the cookware and appliances needed to delight the group's chef. A French door and stainless steel fridge will keep your goodies nice and fresh, while the oven/stove will help when it's time to cook a full-course meal. You won't have to worry about the dishes; the dishwasher has your back. The adjoining dining room has a gorgeous eight-people dining table, but if you require another space for quick meals on the go, the breakfast bar in the kitchen has four stools.

For a truly secluded place to study or work, there's a separate room equipped with a desk and desk chair, a ceiling fan, direct access to the deck, and a spinning bike. Guests will also have a separate, small room with unparalleled views of the water, a ceiling fan, and a comfortable sofa - this is a perfect place to take a nap.

Each bedroom has a ceiling fan, and the main bedroom has two. This bedroom has direct access to the deck, an en suite bathroom, and a laundry room. The bathroom is exquisite, with double sinks, a walk-in shower, a separate tub, and plenty of space.

Head downstairs through the spiral staircase, and you'll reach the lower level of the home, where you'll find a living area, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The living room is another great place to gather as it features a TV, a gas fireplace, a ceiling fan, a sectional, two saucer chairs, and a four-person checkerboard table. Each bedroom has a ceiling fan.

You'll be on Lake Anna's private side, the ideal location to enjoy all the water activities you can think of, such as boating, swimming, kayaking, and canoeing. Three kayaks are provided, so you don't have to bring your own. Bumpass is widely known for its wineries, and they are a must-visit! Less than 10 miles away is Cooling Pond Brewery, or you can make the nine-mile drive to LKA Taphouse. A nearer option is Coyote Hole Ciderworks, seven and a half miles away.

Horrible experience
The property was not safe and it was not as described on vrbo. Upon arrival at the property, we noticed many safety concerns, including gasoline containers, a chainsaw left unattended outside, and an excavator vehicle on site. This made the environment hazardous, forcing us to stay inside most of the time. I immediately notified the guest service representative on the first day of arrival about the unsafe conditions. However, no alternative was offered.

Almost Great
The space has so much potential to be amazing. The house is large and spacious, the outdoor area has a ton of space. However, everything seemed in process and could have used a cleaning. It didn't seem like the floors were cleaned at all upon arrival, there was still hair in the showers. The yard was clearly under construction with tools, lumber and a backhoe in the middle. We found a knief and various screws/nails in the yard and could let our kids run around. One of the beds was broken, something that was noted in a review a year ago. When we reached out to the management company we never heard back from them. It was clear they don't care or read the reviews since all the things noted by previous renters still applied. The space has so much potential, I really hope they address the issues.

Great for large group
The home is great for large group. The dock could very easily be a 5 if the screened area was cleaned up to be usable and furniture provided. We are thankful we read previous reviews as we brought the things missing from the house. The pots and pans could use refreshing but had most appliances needed. The reviews are correct about furniture in bedrooms. With just a few things it could be a 5!

Large house on the lake
This is a nice, older large house on the lake. It was a good location, right on the lake, and there were enough canoes and floats for the kids to use, with spare life jackets. Our only gripe was that the kitchen was not well-equipped. There were no pots and the pans, knives cookware was really old and unusable. So much so that we went to the local store and bought two pots and a frying pan for our use. One of the upstairs bedrooms did not have any side tables. Where do you put your water glass at night? Other than these small inconveniences, the overall stay was pleasant.

Summer stay at the lake
Large home on the private side (warm side) of the lake. Great location about 12 mins from grocery and takeout. Open layout of house, allowing for gatherings yet quiet sleep areas. Narrow, spiral staircase the dog and a couple older adults could not navigate. Home had everything we needed, although showing some wear. Like others have commented, lack of furnishings and care of dock area ignore a prime benefit of being lakeside. Heavily wooded area around house, so cool and shady on sunny days, but also resulting in lots of spiders and ticks. We had to be careful with kids and dog. Management was very responsive when we had an issue and provided clear and thorough information before check-in and upon arrival.

The property had several issues that i attempted to get addressed all week to no avail. A bed was broken and 2 family members had to sleep on the floor on the matress. Several knobs were missing on kitchen drawers and cabinets, 2 coffee pots and neither worked. If the issues had been addressed our stay may have been more pleasant. A lot of work needs to be done.

Shangri-La, Great Potential, But Needs TLC
Shangri-La is a stunning property located in a beautiful setting with a lot of potential. This was our second trip to this house for a family vacation. The new edging around the water and the recently added sand area were highlights of our stay, adding to the scenic appeal and making outdoor activities even more enjoyable. The location itself is picturesque, and the overall property could be a perfect getaway. However, there were several issues we encountered during our stay, some of which were significant enough to affect our experience. For the premium price tag, these issues should be addressed to ensure future guests have a smooth and enjoyable stay. • General Maintenance Issues: • The fan in the sunroom was not operational. • Several lights were not working. • The kitchen cabinets were broken, which made using the kitchen less enjoyable. • There was a poor amount of dishes, pots, and pans, which made cooking for a group challenging. • The oven display was broken, making it difficult to set the correct temperature. • Exhaust fans in the bathrooms were non-functional. • The screen on the dock needs to be replaced. • Multiple doors throughout the house made loud creaking noises and clearly needed WD-40. • The slider doors seem to lock easily and we were locked out a few times while going in/out through daily use. • Cleanliness Concerns: • The bed in the basement had hair on the sheets, indicating that it had not been properly cleaned. • There were mildew stains in the bathroom, which was unpleasant. • The house had general cleanliness issues, including dirty floors, spiders and bugs inside, and dog hair covering the floors upon check-in. Better attention to detail with cleaning services is needed. • Comfort Issues: • The AC unit was not working for part of our stay, which was uncomfortable, especially in the summer heat. While customer service did coordinate repairs, there were delays and we had to rearrange our plans. • The bed upstairs was broken and required repair during our stay. We called prior to our stay concerning previous reviews of the bed and were told it should be fixed, which proved to not be the case upon arrival. • The spare room’s windows and door often got stuck. • Bedrooms could use furniture like dressers. • Having chairs for the sandpit area would have provided more comfort when we were using it. • Appliance & Fixture Problems: • The dryer timer did not work. • Toilet paper holders missing in the basement bathrooms. • The wood retaining walls out back are falling apart, which is concerning for safety. Specifically the walls near the rear entrance to the house. • Screws sticking out from furniture in sunroom could be a potential problem for families with small children. furniture like dressers for better functionality. • While customer service was initially responsive in addressing the AC and bed issues, there were delays, and communication broke down upon check-out. We were promised a credit upon check out

Great Potential
We have stayed at this home before. We love the space and the kitchen is pretty well stocked. We had 2 major issues. There was a nasty smell in the hall bath on the main floor. We had to have candles burning all day. We could not figure out where it was coming from. Also, the fan/light in the glassed in room did not work. We are pretty sure it didn't work when we were there 3 yrs ago. This was a major problem because we were a group of ladies that were doing crafts. Because the sun sets early we did not have light for the evenings and nights. Very disappointing.There was no help from Vacasa. I would also highly recommend putting at least a small dresser in each room. Living out of suitcases for a week is a pain. One room had no dresser OR closet. These few fixes would make this house so much more pleasant.

Beautiful views, but house needs TLC
The location was stunning. The house needs a lot of love though. Mold on the wall and all the outdoor furniture, missing hardware on multiple cabinets and doors, sparsely furnished, filthy vents. This is on the owners and no fault of housekeeping. The reviews all say the same. Vacasa was very communicative and apologized, but clearly nothing is being done between the rentals. They also didn't let us check out late even though the place wasn't booked for the day we left.

CLEAN HOME - GORGEOUS VIEWS
One of the cleanest homes I've rented. Celebrated my parent's 50th anniversary here and it was fantastic. We enjoyed the fire pit and my brother brought his boat and he and my dad caught lots of fish in the lake. The beds actually have dresser drawers within the footbed which is brilliant. As others have mentioned, with a few tweaks, it's a five star rental. My suggestions are: put small trash cans in each bedroom, put end tables and floor lamps in the living room and add more dishes (we didn't have enough bowls or coffee mugs.) Thank you for a lovely stay.

Queens Spiritual Retreat
We were able to create an amazing energy in this space. The home is huge and beautiful. The check in and out process was easy breezy! The property is in need of more furniture in the home and outside. More tables and seating in the common areas. Someone needs to ensure the light bulbs are working and that the light switches and fans all work. We had an incident where one of the queen beds broke. The mattress fell straight through the bed. I can say they sent a gentleman first thing in the morning and he fixed it. Overall we had an amazing time on this property!

Beautiful house, Clean, Great view.
The house is very very nice, has a great view. Very private. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen and decks well appointed. Comes with 3 kayaks which the kids loved. Overall an excellent house and would definitely stay again. I took off one star because there are a few issues that could be easily remedied. 1. The screened in boat dock could be the focal point right on the water, but has has no furniture and is full of old water toys that need to be gone through. 2. The bedrooms need dressers as others have mentioned, and a tv in the master would be great. 3. Lastly, blinds over the bath tub window should be installed in the master. Definitely gave a peep show. These were not a big deal. It's a beautiful house, we loved our trip. Dont hesitate to rent.

Perfect Girls Weekend
We have been doing girls weekends for years and this is by far the best property we've stayed at. Superior cleanliness, amazing views, easy water access (even for kayaking in March), and memories that will last a life time. This is the first property we've stayed where the photos are just like the actual home. We look forward to returning!

Lovely Property
This is a great house. Needed a few tweaks here and there, contacted the property manager who said they’d have maintenance come, but they never did. It’s been nicely updated, but no lamps in any common areas, only huge ceiling fans with harsh lights. The furniture was really nice in all the bedrooms and beds were comfortable. It rent it again for sure!

Great Location
Rented this property over thanksgiving break for a quick family holiday. We were about 10 of us so needed a large place with a large family/living room. The property also had a large TV and recliners which was great for a movie night. Overall it’s a good property and has a great location. It’s a bit minimal in terms of furniture which is visible from the pictures so that’s something to keep in mind.

Almost there
First of all, for location and view this house is a 10! And the house has lots of room. We were a group of ladies doing a craft retreat and we had plenty of room. It is clear that they are still setting this home up as a rental so it has a few things to make it the perfect house. There were several things that were not working (lights, outlets, etc - list has been sent to management company). The kitchen had some issues as well (dirty pans, items needed). A little more work and this will be a perfect vacation home.

The house is very nice with new appliances, but the furniture is sparse in the bedrooms. There is only one night table and no dressers or a place to put stuff. The beds are comfortable and everything was very clean. The use of three kayaks was a nice perk.
