About this house rental
Summary:
Welcome to The Sanctuary, Lake Anna's only modern minimal Nordic lake house. Built of glass, concrete, steel, and western red cedar, this 8-bedroom retreat sleeps 25 across a 6,800 sq ft main house and private garage apartment. A cantilevered great room floats over the waterfront edge. Swim the heated and chilled 30' pool, train in the fully equipped gym, warm-up in the traditional indoor cedar sauna, then end the day on the sunset patio, or private 40’ dock. A restorative resort concept designed for rest. Built for memories.
The Space:
THE MAIN HOUSE
The cantilevered great room hangs over the waterfront edge with glass on three sides, anchored by clean Scandinavian lines and gallery-style art throughout. The chef's kitchen pairs warm wood cabinetry with stone counters and a long island, open to a dining area framed by a soaring A-frame wall of glass. A sculptural gold spiral staircase leads to the library bedroom. The main staircase leads to the loft and loft bedrooms.

OUTDOOR LIVING
Three entertaining patios (one fully covered), outdoor dining with a grill, an outdoor shower, a fire pit, and a treetop balcony in the cedar canopy.
Guest Access:
Self check-in via smart lock with a unique code for each reservation. Free parking for up to 10 vehicles in the driveway and parking area. Please do not park on the grass or street.
The Neighborhood:
The Sanctuary sits in Freshwater Estates, a quiet established community on the public side of Lake Anna, one of Virginia's largest and clearest lakes. Spend the day boating, swimming, paddling, or fishing, then explore the local wineries, breweries, and waterfront restaurants. Lake Anna State Park is a short drive for hiking, beaches, and nature programs. Anna Point Marina and Evans Family Place are the closest boat ramps, and boat rentals are available nearby on the lake.
Getting Around:
A car is the best way to reach and explore Lake Anna. The Sanctuary is roughly 1.5 to 2 hours from Washington, DC, about an hour from Richmond and Charlottesville, and about 45 minutes from Fredericksburg. Once you arrive, groceries and supplies are 10 to 15 minutes away in Mineral.
Other Things to Note:
If there is something you need and it is not listed, please ask! You have full access to the entire home, garage apartment, and grounds. The Sanctuary is a restorative health resort concept: pool, gym, sauna, putting green, theater, and a private dock with two slips, all wrapped in modern Nordic architecture of glass, concrete, steel, and western red cedar.

In compliance with local laws or HOA requirements, guests must be at least 28 years old to book, and those under 28 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian throughout the reservation.
Important: Before check-in, the primary guest must complete our Guest Verification process. This helps us comply with short-term rental regulations and provides added protection for guests and the property.
