Avis Lakefront Adventure House with Private Dock & WiFi - Dog-Friendly

I rented this property for a long weekend to celebrate my husband’s 75th birthday with our 3 adult children, one of their spouses, and 3 grandchildren. It would have been a lovely spot, right on the lake, but for the fact that there is a construction site right next door with cement trucks, backhoes, and all the noise that goes along with it. It was very loud and a terrible eyesore. I would never have booked this property if I had known. I understand that the owners of this property cannot control the fact that a house is being built on the adjacent lot. I also understand that this property is an investment and the owners want to make money. But the fact that it was at my expense makes me extremely angry. The set up of the house was lovely, but the level of cleanliness left a lot to be desired. I pulled a pot holder out of a kitchen drawer and it was caked with dried food. I left it on the counter when we left hoping that the next renter would not have to discover something so disgusting. We found plates and glasses in the cabinets that had been put away filthy. The kitchen cabinets and drawers in all of the bathroom are in dire need of a good wipe down. A few of the bedrooms have king size pillows that were stuffed into standard size pillowcases. It seems like whoever is in charge of housekeeping is doing a pretty bad job. All in all, this was a very disappointing experience.

We had a very nice stay at this house during our spring break. I’m sure this is a great place to visit in the summer months! We were there very early spring so mostly rain, and a lot of things are not yet open this time of year yet. However, it was a pretty location and Great Lake house, we brought our own fun with the fam.

This house was AWESOME. Everything was in great condition, you got exactly what was advertised, and the host was readily available if you had any questions. Also none of that "deep clean our house before leaving" nonsense. It was all taken care of (though we did our best to make it clean before leaving) Thanks for a great stay ❤️

Pros: This was a very nice family getaway spot. The house is very spacious inside and out. The downstairs is a great area for the kids to play and hangout at night. The outside area is spacious and being right on the lake was so easy to go for a swim or paddle on the boards/kayaks, and great for catching fish. Easy boat/jet ski dock access too. The view is beautiful. It is close proximity to the public beach on the cooler side of the lake, and it is close proximity to places like Busch gardens and some caverns and some cool city areas like Charlottesville. Cons: the water is very warm on the private side of the lake, which isn’t the most refreshing on a hot summer day- the public beach is a close drive tho. The WiFi was spotty at night time. And the amount of spiders around the property was more then my liking. Overall, the trip was wonderful. It is a great place to getaway and relax and be away from the hustle and bustle of life. I would recommend this location to friends in the future.

My friends and I just had an amazing getaway weekend in Bumpass! The house has any amenity you can dream. Perfect for a relaxing weekend with friends and family.

The house was super clean, spacious and had everything we needed and more. Incredible views of the lake from almost every room. Out stay was just a short weekend trip but still managed to catch a 4lb bass right of the dock. We would love to come back and spend more time during the spring or summer.

We had a hard time checking in because we arrived early but the key code wasn't set for an early arrival. We were told we the house was ready for check in. It was a beautiful home and we had a fantastic time. I do feel the house could use a little TLC as far as the fixtures in the main bath were not on the wall properly. The screen door was broken we had 2 carpenters with us so they fixed that. Also, the TV downstairs kept losing its sound. Overall it was great and we would consider coming back. Thank you for sharing your home.
