About this property
Lake, Entire House, 4BR, Hot Tub, New Fire Pit, Dog Friendly w/Fenced yard!
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. 90 second 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. NEW FIREPIT installed May 2025. 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. Sleeper sofa located on the main floor. The house has central a/c and heating and with ceiling fans in almost every room you will be cool and comfortable during your stay.
We provide one adult and one children's kayak, life vests, and paddles. The home is centrally located in Mineral just minutes from popular destinations such as The Cove, Lake Anna Taphouse, Asian Café, Food Lion, Lake Anna Winery, and the Boardwalk Mini Golf. Lake Anna State Park is minutes away and offers more than 15 miles of scenic hiking trails, picnic areas, life guarded lake swimming, playgrounds, and more! Public Beach Access is available at the State Park.
The Shack offers the best internet available on the lake with xFinity high speed internet and all six TV’s are smart tvs and ready for you to log on to your own Amazon/Netflix/Hulu/YouTube TV, etc. accounts for unlimited movie / tv access!
The hot tub is in a very private area of the property and can accommodate 6 persons. Hot tub is available for use year around! Cool off in the summer & warm up in the winter.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Joie Douglas

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.
