Welcome to The Whistlin’ Terrapin—your serene Lake Anna getaway! Just a short 3 minute walk brings you to the lake, where you will love swimming and jumping right from the dock into the deep water.
Rainy day? No problem! Enjoy our outdoor covered game barn with a propane fire pit. You will have fun playing ping-pong, foosball, darts, and all of our numerous yard games can be played 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:
