Thanksgiving 2024
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

Extensive cleaning with a cleaning fee
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.

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.

Family and Friends gathering
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.

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.

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.

Wonderful Weekend
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.

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.

Great boating location
This is a nice big house for a lake vacation and boating. It has a very nice dock and cove where you can swim and kayak. We rented a paddle board for a few days from lkaoutfitters. There are a small number of minor repairs needed in the house. They sent someone to fix a few things and he was very responsive in fixing the primary items needed right away.

Good visit with family - chores though
The house was great for a gathering of our large group of 16. There was room for the kids to play in the basement and the adults to gather upstairs. The kitchen was also a nice size for making meals for our large group. We also appreciated the christmas tree in the living room as we exchanged Christmas gifts. It would have been nice to know ahead of time that we needed to bring a lot with us. For example, I got a phone call from family members who arrived first to purchase some toilet paper before coming. We had to bring paper towels, dish soap, toilet paper, dish detergent, etc. Also, we were expected to make the beds when we arrived and strip the beds upon checkout. We were also expected to dispose of all of our trash. (We were aware of this when we made the reservation but it was still annoying). The linens were not at the house when we arrived. When the linens were delivered, I was surprised to learn that we were expected to make the beds. When I made the reservation I sent a few messages to make sure the host had our numbers right. The host never responded. I asked the host questions about what we needed to bring. I didn't hear back until it was too late to be very helpful. The host said something was wrong with the app on her phone. I could overlook this but I never heard from the host again. No checking with me to make sure we were ok. No checkout message (other than the written instructions on the refrigerator) and no thank you email after we checked out. I even messaged them to say thank you and let them know we used most of their bandaids. But, I never got a response. A little more customer service would have made this stay nicer.

Family Christmas
Our extended family stayed here during one of the coldest Christmases in many years. The home was definitely not built for this cold! The fireplace was a wonderful gathering place in the living room. with a Christmas tree the owners added which was a delightful plus! Although the home sleeps 16, the dining area only seats 8 (no barstools) so we had to eat in shifts. This is probably not an issue in the warm summer months when we could spread out to the outdoors. We had plenty of room inside to accommodate our family of 14 and will have many memories to share in the future about the "Christmas House" of 2022!

Enough room to spread out and not feel crowded
The size of the house is great!! Enough room for all of us to be able to be in the house and not feel like we are on top of each other. The kitchen had such an abundance of room to be able to cook and prep food and not feel like you were on top of each other. Having access to the lake right in the backyard was so much fun!!! The firepit provided a nice time for sitting around and conversating and having smores.

We have had an extremely busy weekend fishing on the Lake with a few young boy's. The house was very spacious for our large group. The downstairs was great to occupy our crew. I have let the host know but I do think it needs a few upgrades or closer attention to the cleaning process. Great access to the lake and very quiet cove.

What a mess.
The property is poorly managed, unmaintained, and dirty. Upon arrival we had to spend hours cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms, as counters and sinks were disgusting. We found dirty socks and candy wrappers in bedrooms, carpeting badly soiled and musty. The landscaping is overgrown, the dock area is adorned with two junk jet skies that are filled with hornet nests and mosquito-heaven standing water, there's even vegetation growing growing out of one. The boat dock surface collects water, making it one big puddle. The property sits at an inside corner of an inlet, so the adjacent neighbor's boat dock is only a few yards from this one; so prepare to be very familiar with whatever renters might end up next to you, as you'll be hanging out with them all day and all evening wether you want to or not. The grill is completely rusted out and has clearly not ever been cleaned. Further, all of the propane canisters were empty. The internet is completely unusable. Do not expect to do any work from the house as basic web browsing is intermittent at best. Zoom/Teams calls are not possible. I suggest you keep searching, as this house is sub-par and there are far better options. The nicest description I can give is that the house is overpriced and underwhelming.

A beautiful large house perfect for a weekend away with friends
No complaints about the house - the spaces are huge, the rooms are well kept, it was clean and comfortable. We all appreciated the freshly laundered sheets left on top of each bed, and there were ample towels for each guests. I'm knocking a star off because only because the house didn't have hand soap or toilet paper. The house is clear about not providing toiletries, so we knew to expect that, but even in other listings that say they don't provide toiletries they have these basic sanitary items so we were frustrated to learn that this house didn't. In addition to this the dishwasher was broken (though fixed while there, which was helpful) and several kitchenware were broken or not working, which limited our ability to use it fully. I'd still recommend this house but would encourage you to come in and take stock of what you need before settling in.

Perfect Long Lake Weekend
My group had a wonderful stay at Busbees Retreat this past weekend. We found everything we needed for cooking, eating, and relaxing as a large group available on the property. There was plenty of seating, utensils, and refrigerator space for everyone. The home is definitely well-loved and a great place to hang out. You will need to supply your own shampoo/body wash/conditioner, but the hosts left us a lovely little welcome basket with starters. You will also need to supply paper products if you need more than 1 roll of anything. If your plan is mostly relaxing around the lake and swimming, I would recommend either using the provided life jackets or bringing your own floats, as the water is too deep to touch the bottom when entering off the dock. Also, although beautiful, the back yard has quite a hill and become more natural-appearing than the very cleared out and manicured photos in the listing; I would keep a close eye on kiddos running around if they are part of your party. For all your food/beverage/paper products needs, there is a grocery store close by, about 5-10 minutes down the road that was convenient for getting little things we needed over the weekend. We were glad we got the majority of our supplies at one of the wholesale stores near Fredericksburg; it definitely saved us some money in the long run. The area is also great for accessing some of the areaā€™s wineries, several of which are around Lake Anna, with a great number more within an hour radius of the house. Overall, we had a truly wonderful weekend stay and would happily go back for another big gathering.
