Perfect vacation!
We enjoyed a wonderful vacation at this house. It has everything you need to enjoy the small, private beach, bbq dinner, make a camp fire, kayak, and spend time outside. The house is clean and well-furnished, and you can't beat the location and the views. We hope to be back!

Amazing!!
For us, this was a little piece of heaven. The house was beautiful, spacious, and clean. It had everything we needed as far as cooking utensils, pots and pans, and towels and wash cloths. The location was nice and quiet, about 10-15 minutes away from restaurants, a gas station, and the Lake Anna State Park. The dock was very nice! The boat traffic on the water was very respectful and friendly. The views from the house and the dock were beautiful and the catfish were biting all day and night! We hope to stay again next year!

Perfect getaway for family of 4
Cal was great at communicating with me and I had all of the information needed for our stay. The cottage was very accommodating and clean & comfortable. We have 2 young children and it was perfect. The cottage looked exactly like the pictures and was well stocked. My kids loved running around the grass in the back yard which was very spacious. The view of the lake was great and we had a lot of fun in the evenings by the fire pit. Cal even provided sticks and marshmellows. We would definitely stay again in the future!

Fantastic property
The house was clean, cute and well-equipped. The property is unbeatable, with the little private beach, the docks, the VIEWS and the huge yard. We enjoyed every bit of it. The host was great and easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again!

Amazing every time
This is the 3rd time we’ve stayed at Call’s properties in the last year. It is a perfect, relaxing, socially-distant location for a family vacation. The houses are wonderful and comfortable. Cal is very responsive to any issues that come up. Will definitely come back for a 4th time :)

Relaxing and simple for what we wanted
The house was great for our small group of 5 to get away for a few days in the winter. The property manager was very reachable by text. We had an issue with slow internet but they got taken care of the following afternoon to make it usable (still not fast but could handle some video calls). The back 3rd bedroom does not have interior or exterior blinds. The house is not near anything besides the lake and some other houses (which is not bad just a comment) but it worked fine. Keurig provided with K cups for coffee. The rear firepit with wood was nice for an evening fire.

Great cottage! Beautiful view!
Wonderful girls getaway! The house was perfect and the owner was so nice and accommodating. The wine and marshmallows were an unexpected and great touch. Only wish it was a real fireplace. Other than that it was perfect for us.

Great time!
We only stayed for two nights, but it was awesome to get away from the renovations in our house and spend Christmas cooking and eating with the family. The house was very clean and comfortable and the view was great. The kitchen was fully equipped and got a lot of use from us! The fire pit is really nice so we had to do a fire despite the 24 degree temperature outside. We would definitely come back! The property manager was great and responsive during check in and the check out instructions where clear. Could not have asked for a better stay!

Excellent Couples’ Trip
We had an excellent friends/couples trip here. The host was incredibly helpful and very easy to reach. The house is beautiful and comfortable and we enjoyed the gorgeous views of the lake. Kitchen was the best stocked of any rental I’ve ever been in.

Great local getaway
Nice home, perfect size for our family. Sheets were provided. Many normal household products were included to include soap, washer/dryer and kitchen supplies. Enjoyed the beach and the firepit. Owner was responsive to questions via texts.

Nice and beautiful escape
Beautiful location. From a firepit to a perfect view of the lake. When we arrived, we were received with wine from the area and marshmallows. At one point, we couldn't find a lighter for the bonfire and the owner brought one for us in 10 minutes. We also got brand new sheets which gave us extra comfort. Would recommend this place to anyone.

A great pandemic getaway
Whippoorwill Cottage is a lovely house right on Lake Anna. It’s nice appointed inside, very clean, and served as a perfect location for a pandemic staycation. The location right on Lake Anna along with the small beach and kayaks allowed us to be completely remote and still able to enjoy the lake. Cal was very responsive and helpful and the bottle of local wine and marshmallows and roasting sticks added a perfect touch of hospitality. We highly recommend this house as a vacation destination.
