Triathlon Team Stay for an Event at Pleasants Landing
Our triathlon club stayed at the property for the weekend to race in the “Rumpass in Bumpass” triathlon by kinetic Multisports. The home is amazing, it’s a perfect location and close proximity to event, and it easily accommodated the 10 of us with beds to spare! The owner was responsive via text message and very helpful when we had questions.
The family had a great time. The Lake was beautiful and everyone enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding.

Family gathering for wedding
Beautiful location, lots of family activities provided. Loved the fire pit! Many separate spaces to enjoy gathering in smaller or larger groups. (We used them all).
Could have one more bathroom in the basement and needs adequate closet space in the basement too. There is definitely room to add this.
I would definitely rent this house again.
Very pretty Property. Comfortable, Welcoming, and spacious. The beds and pillows very comfy and nice. Beautiful views. Kitchen has everything needed. We loved the fire place and fire pit. One tip would be to have more information about how the all TV's work - Instructions on starting the gas fire place, fixing the ice machine, and the one burner on the stove would be a plus and having all light fixtures working upon arrival. Great Family Location. We hope to visit this property again.
We initially booked Busbees Retreat for a 12 person staff retreat. The retreat was cancelled a couple weeks out. 4 of us used the house for a relaxing weekend. We cooked in and the kitchen was well-stocked. All the spaces were clean and comfortable. Instructions were easy. The home and area are beautiful. We enjoyed sitting on the dock and an evening around the firepit.

The house was amazing. There was plenty of space, bedrooms and bathrooms were clean . We loved the gas fireplace and the outdoor firepit. The best part of the house was the well stocked kitchen. This house had everything you could possibly want in a kitchen. A waffle iron, crock pot, potato peeler, pizza pan, zester. I have never had a rental kitchen that had everything. The double ovens with a build in air-fryer. We cooked--a lot! Will be going back again next year.
Comfortable property, however we had a very long and detailed list of chores to do before we could check out, even though we payed for cleaning service. We also had to take our trash with us and bring our own trash bags. Left the trip with a bit of frustration. If you plan on staying here plan on spending few hours cleaning.
What can I say! This was our second time staying at Busbee's Retreat, and this stay was outstanding.
This house sits in a beautiful location, lots of family activities provided. We loved the fire pit! There were also enough separate spaces to enjoy gathering in smaller or larger groups. (We used them all).
I would definitely rent this house again. We booked Busbees Retreat back in 2017 and the stay was just as good this time as well. We used the house for a relaxing weekend. We cooked in the kitchen as well as the grills outside. All the spaces were clean and comfortable. The instructions were easy, communication with the owners was timely and exceptional. Also, information was readily available. The home and area are beautiful. We enjoyed sitting on the dock and even caught a few fish. Overall, Busbee's will be on our list for our next family gathering.
The house was spacious , impressive and very comfortable. Unfortunately it needs some maintenance (of issues submitted to owner) and updating of kitchen amenities Plates, glasses, eating utensils, etc need to accommodate the 16 people staying in the house. What was there reminded me of thrift store leftovers. The fees charged exceeded the quality provided. A brillo pad on some of the pots would do wonders
Location was perfect for what we needed, bedding was plentiful and comfortable -my family loved the building and grounds
Memos left for renters and agreement details that owner wanted me to sign were threatening and made me feel anxious and uncomfortable. Perhaps they have been burned by renters in the past and were trying to prevent recurrence?
In all the years and many places rented for my family gatherings via VRBO and othere sites this is the first time I will say I was disappointed

Mid/Late July 2023
It's very spacious & in a quiet almost secluded area. The back yard is pleasant (on the lake).The house is nice, the cleaning crew could do a better job. Our only complaints were the consistant fight with ants, spiders,& bugs. We had to purchase RAID and used a lot of bleach to clean eating utensils & counter tops bc ants are in the drawers. Leaving food out is a no. We had a party of 15, the hot water ran out while we were bathing. So we either had to get up early and bath or stay up later. Also, you have to take the trash off the premises or be charged $250. The trash bins are in the garage but you have to take them 5.6 miles to dump them. It takes about 30/45 minutes to get to any major stores like Wal-Mart. This is not an ideal place is you have work to do. Reception is not so good. With sll of that, (for the most part,)it was a good stay.
Pluses: Lots of room for the extended family, everything clean and ready to go when we arrived, and the best whirlpool anywhere! Decor was perfect, very refreshing, thoughtful seating areas. Full washer and dryer, very convenient. Dining area great for gathering and playing games after dinner. Firepit was another lovely gathering spot. Minuses (were minor): Couldn't get tv to work in master bedroom, and if you prefer not to use non-stick cookware,you'll need to byo.
Wonderful home with great views and flow throughout. Held our family Thanksgiving where we met from three different states to gather. Huge Firepit area so bring plenty of wood. A few glitches with dish and internet service but probably due to lack of use in colder months. Overall, wonderful time had by the entire family.
Our daughter got married Avonlea farms, 2 hours away for us so we stayed here! Beautiful home and made out stay a lovely fun one! Wish could’ve stayed longer
We really enjoyed your home. The house was very clean and inviting. From swimming to eating in the huge kitchen to playing games to campfires and just being together … it was all wonderful. Thank you.
This house was beautiful. Clean and well kept from the inside. Might want to consider taking some water things (floats, paddle boards etc) because there was not a lot at all

The location was nice. There was mildew in bedroom closet in the basement. Dishwasher did not work and was inconvenient on hand washing dishes. Outside gutters were full of leaves.
The house, property, and owner were wonderful. The house is beyond belief with many many fine features. The water access is incredible for both boating and swimming. The owner helped us get a ski boat and was very comfortable to work with.
The house is beautiful with lot of space to fit multiple families and the basement is perfect for both kids and adults. Lots of games to play and relax.The kayaks/ lake is super fun.
This was our annual trip to Lake Anna, Number 37. The weather was perfect. Nice house but there were a few things missing that would have been nice to have. especially in the kitchen. Overall a very nice weekend.
House was great! great communication w/ the property manager ,It was great place to spend Christmas w/ my family house was exactly how it looked in the pictures, would rent again. Thank you Julea for a great 4 day weekend my family had a blast!
Stayed at this lake house and basically became a new person. Woke up to the lake like I was in a Disney movie. The view of the lake and dock is absolutely stunning ! You didn’t even have to leave the house to fish- The kids fished from the dock and caught a ginormous bass and in the morning fishers would come to our cove to fish. We brought our boat and tied it up to the dock and didn’t have to go far for good tubing, wake surfing, and wake boarding! The house was clean, cozy, and had a perfect spot where my husband could work while the kids and I fished, played pool, and boated. If peace and quiet had a location, it’s here. 12/10 would move in if they let me.

Family getaway.
We booked this for a weekend getaway for our family group of 15. The location is amazing and the house is a great stay for a group of this size. Sadly it appeared that nobody had cleaned the house after the last guests. It was frustrating to need to spend the first part of our vacation cleaning a house that charges a hefty cleaning fee on the rental, but even sadder that the host failed to make any attempt to rectify the situation. I offered to send pictures of the state of the home and discuss the situation but received no response from the host. All in all , it's a fantastic property but badly in need of some attention to detail or at a bare minimum they need to eliminate the cleaning fee if they don't clean it.
