Quiet Lake Anna Rental-3min walk! Gated 3BR, game barn, king bed, 2 fire pits!

Welcome to The Whistlin’ Terrapin—your perfect Lake Anna rental getaway! Just a quick 3.5-minute stroll brings you to the lake, where you can swim right from the dock.

Rainy day? No problem! Outdoor game room in a covered carport with a propane fire pit. You will enjoy ping-pong, foosball, darts and our numerous yard games dry under cover.

Our home is tucked away in a quiet gated neighborhood near the center of Lake Anna, on the public (the larger side with more services - restaurants, stores, marinas).

Here are the highlights:

* Lake access, with boat ramp and four day use docks (no overnight parking). A short 3.5 minute walk to the water!
* Yard games galore: cornhole, ladder toss, yardzee (giant yahtzee for the yard), outdoor bocce and spikeball.

* Free firewood for the fire pit.
* 1-acre property with a fully fenced-in backyard
* Covered deck with seating area and gas grill (propane included)

TV details:
55” Roku TV in the living room. Roku offers a wide selection of free shows and channels to enjoy. It features a convenient Guest Mode, allowing you to log in with your own streaming accounts—and it automatically logs you out when you check out. Also, only one remote!

This was our 4th trip to Lake Anna. We enjoyed our stay at the Whistling Terrapin. The outdoor entertainment area was great, and our dogs loved being able to play in the fenced in yard. We made large family meals in the kitchen and ate in the dining room. Beds were comfortable. Our host Martin was very responsive! Thank you

Our family of 5 and small dog enjoyed our 2-day stay. It was clean, quiet, comfy and had everything we needed to relax before and after the wedding we attended. The second bathroom was large and beautifully updated. Communication with our host was easy; he provided all the info we needed. Short walk down street to beautiful Lake Anna.

Lake Anna House

We had a wonderful time at the Lake. We were in an excellent location and Martin was very accommodating for our dogs. The fenced in yard was a big bonus. We lost air conditioning briefly but that issue was resolved quickly. We definitely plan to come back to Lake Anna. Thank you

Perfect House

I stayed with a group of 6 friends for the renn faire and was blown away by this house.House was clean and very nicely decorated.Backyard was perfect space for yard games, campfires, and the best hangout space for when it rains.The hot tub was large and clean with a nice covered porch.Beds were outrageously comfoetable and laudnry room big enough for an extra air mattress for our one friend who snored alot.This place is 10/10 and communication from martin was also 10/10I would highely reccomend this to anyone trying to get away to lake anna on a budget!Thank you Martin!
