Welcome to "The Shack", affectionally named after our parents’ and grandparents’ summer getaway on the Massachusetts Bay. The Shack is a renovated 4 BR / 6 bed, lake access, deep water cove, with a covered boat slip, hot tub, and firepit situated on 1 acre quiet cul-de-sac. Fenced in yard for your pup!

Our family friendly home is located on the Public Side of Lake Anna with over 2,200 sq ft of living space spread out over two levels. Three minute walk to our cove the dedicated covered dock on Lake Anna.

The space
When you are at the lake you will find a deep water, no wake cove for swimming, floating, fishing, kayaking, or boating as you will have access to a dedicated covered boat slip. Cook a family dinner on the new grill, take a dip in the private hot tub, and relax on one of the eight Adirondack chairs circled around the firepit. Guests will enjoy outdoor games such as cornhole, bottle drop, ladder golf, and basketball on our private mini court, and numerous board games including a convertible chess/ checkers/ backgammon table.

Soak up the partial lake views from the newly added sunroom and sunporch. There is an open concept dining room and well-equipped kitchen, a cozy living room with a large sectional, a powder room with full size washer and dryer, and a kids’ playroom. The new custom-built staircase will lead you to the second floor where you will find four large, newly painted bedrooms, two full baths and brand new flooring throughout. The bedrooms consist of a king bed with an en-suite bathroom, a king bedroom with a small desk for remote working, a queen bedroom and the fourth bedroom is great for kids with its full over full bunk bed with a full trundle underneath.

Perfect Accommodations

We went to Lake Anna to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We were able to take our boat and enjoy time on the lake even in November. The weather was beautiful and the house was perfect for us. It was beautifully appointed and had everything we needed. The fenced in yard was helpful with the pups. My grandchildren loved the game room and we had plenty of space. The beds were very comfortable which is not always the case when renting. Even though it shows a ramp in the picture it is really not a safe place to put in the boat but there is a public ramp very close by. The location was perfect for us. Thank you for a wonderful and needed getaway. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to Lake Anna.

Very nice home

We had a nice fall stay on the lake. The home and yard are spacious, and the sunroom and deck are nice places to enjoy the views. The fire pit sits above the lake, which can be viewed through the trees. The street is quiet, with only 4-5 homes. Vito's came through with a delivery for us one night!

Home away from home

Amazing and super clean property that is perfect for 1 large or 2 families. We had 4 boys ranging from 6-14 years of age and everyone had their own space to have fun. The game room was amazing for the kids to disappear to and play. The sunroom is where the adults enjoyed relaxing. Fenced side yard with the hot tub was perfect and was awesome for our dog to run around but be safe. Fire pit on a cold night under the stars was a great experience. Close to fun restaurants that got us out of the house. The 1 thing that caught us off guard is the proximity to the water. It is not directly on the lake. If it was during the summer we might have been a bit upset but since it was the winter a quick walk to the dock for some fishing wasn't bad. Easy drive from NOVA. If you need a getaway book now!

About the host

Hosted by Joie Douglas

Host profile image
Our family lives in Northern Virginia. Before we met, as a child I spent weekends at my grandparents' beach house in Boston and my husband vacationed at Lake Anna. We have so many wonderful memories that we want to share that experience with our children and our guests.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is quiet, peaceful, wooded and just beautiful. Our children can play outside with plenty of room and being at the end of a cul-de-sac we don't need to worry about their safety. There are filtered lake views and lots of privacy.

What makes this property unique

Inside has been remodeled with all the updates of home. Beautiful filtered water views from the sunroom, covered dock, fenced back yard, two living areas plus a den which allows for a variety of places to hang out. Basketball court, private hot tub area, flat lot for outside games and firepit.
