About the host

Hosted by Joie Douglas

Host profile image
Our family lives in Northern Virginia, and The Shack is rooted in our own cherished traditions. I grew up spending weekends at my grandparents’ beach house on Massachusetts Bay. My husband Mike vacationed at Lake Anna with his family. Those childhood memories shaped our love for the water, and we’re grateful to now share that same experience with our children — and with you.

Why they chose this property

The home is tucked away at the end of a serene, tree-lined cul-de-sac, the neighborhood offers privacy, calm, and filtered lake views. With generous outdoor space and minimal traffic, it’s ideal for families. Best of all, the lake and your covered dock are just a short 90-second stroll away — close enough for convenience, yet far enough to preserve quiet and seclusion.

What makes this property unique

The Shack stands out because it combines updated comfort, flexible living space, and outdoor amenities — all just steps from the lake.

Inside, the home has been thoughtfully remodeled with modern finishes and refreshed throughout. Filtered lake views from the sunroom create a peaceful backdrop, while two living areas plus a separate den allow everyone to spread out — whether kids are playing games and adults are relaxing, or multiple families are staying together comfortably.

Outside is where the property truly shines. In addition to your covered dock on a deep-water cove, you’ll enjoy a fenced yard, a private hot tub area, a flat lot ideal for yard games, a private basketball court, and a firepit designed for gathering under the stars.

Many lake homes offer one or two of these features — The Shack offers all of them in one private, well-appointed setting.
