Meet the Host
Kate
Owner
As a native Nebraskan, I always loved lakes more than oceans. However, I didn't like the cold and wind that permeates Nebraska winters, so I moved to Virginia many years ago. Combining my love of lakes with the moderate Virginia climate makes Lake Anna a dream come true.
I retired after a 30 year career in law enforcement and have moved into fun post-career jobs as winery festival coordinator and newspaper reporter. I'm also involved in volunteer activities, some of which revolved around the well-being of our children.
Feel free to ask me about the lake and the number of wonderful restaurants that we have. I wrote the 2014 and 2015 Lure of Lake Anna restaurant guides, so I've done my research.

“Fishing Trip With Dad”
Thank you for letting us stay here. I love it here and I did catch a lot of fish. It's awesome. It's a nice house here. I will be coming for vacation fun next year of course.

“Clean, peaceful and spacious!”
From the very beginning Kate was wonderful. I had never been to Lake Anna and had only ever rented 1 house before. She answered all my questions by phone, not over email. The home is beautiful, clean and spacious. The entire experience was very peaceful and quiet. The dock with the huge deck is such a plus! It was simple to get our boat in/out of the water and I think we had the entire cove to ourselves! The property was spread out so people could be together or separate if they chose. Overall a great experience and cannot wait to go back!
Response from the host:
I'm glad that you enjoyed Blue Skies at Lake Anna. Isn't that cove terrific? I hope to see you back soon. K

Clean home perfect for a large family
We had a great time inside and outside this home. The cove was quiet, the dock and the outdoor amenities including the kayaks, paddle boat, and fire pit were a plus. Inside the home was very clean, the kitchen was stocked with supplies needed for cooking all of our meals, and we loved having the pool table! I really appreciate being able to have all of our family dogs with us. We didn't need to use all the supplied linens, but having them available was a benefit. What we did use of the linens we appreciated the quality and the extra towels for the dogs as well! This home was far enough away for peace and quiet, but close enough to needed stores like the grocery store or convenience stores. Would definitely stay again if we return to Lake Anna.
Response from the host:
We do hope you’ll return to Lake Anna and Blue Skies. I really enjoyed hosting you and your family. K

Nice getaway
Our stay was great. The house is positioned close to the lake. The beach area and slope into the lake was perfect for the dog and kids yo be able to splash around. One of the kayaks had a small crack and Kate quickly had a replacement there the same day. The neighborhood is very quiet and felt like we were the only ones there and had the cove to ourselves most days.

“Thanksgiving at Blue Skies”
We had a lovely family holiday at Blue Skies. Kate was very responsive and a great host. The house was very clean and well-appointed. The kids really enjoyed fishing on the dock (lots of catfish) and cruising the lake in the peddle boat. Thank you again, Kate for sharing your house!

Absolutely wonderful
Took my husband for his birthday to fish. He had an awesome time catching catfish. The house was amazing and it was clean and spotless. Never stayed in a rental so clean. Kate was a great hostess and provided outstanding information before our arrival. Being disabled, getting to the dock was a breeze for me as I was able to ride my scooter to the dock and enjoy fishing as well. This is the best place we have rented in a long time and I will definitely recommend it to my friends and family. Thank you Kate for allowing us to stay at your home. Looking forward to a return visit.

Bella’s Last Hoorah!
What a wonderful long weekend. Our beloved old dog is not doing well, she still loves the water. The owner was amazing and accommodating. Bella came out of her “uncle’s” truck and straight into the lake! She was so pooped each night but she had an amazing time with a walk in beach and sand to lay in, things to sniff everywhere. Our 1 year old granddaughter LOVED it as well. What a blast.

It was so nice to meet you and Ed. I loved the pictures of family time at Blue Skies. I wish I could have met Bella, but she looked so happy in the lake. Please come back again. K

Lakeside getaway
From the moment we contacted the owner, this rental was 5 stars! Everything was easy from the quick owner response to the final checkout list. The house was very clean with a beautiful kitchen that overlooks the lake, spacious bedrooms with linens provided and a large master bath. Views are amazing and the dock is only a short, flat walk from the house. The internet worked well the whole time we were there! It was a wonderful getaway.

“Fun Week at Lake Anna”
This was our 1st trip to Lake Anna and won't be our last. We had a great time! The updates done on the house since the pictures were done are wonderful (master bath shower, updated kitchen, new sofas, dock, etc)! We had great fishing, water play for our dog, kayaking, etc! We brought a portable badminton set and used the large, shaded patio!
