What a beautiful dream stay! Steve was so kind he called us when we didn't come in when expected, due to missing a connecting flight. But, this serial, calm, home and property on the lake brought us back into peace and an enjoyable trip. Definitely will come stay here again with the whole family!
This home on Claytor Lake is special to us. It is private and quiet. It has all the tools needed for a wonderful visit. This was our 5th visit, so we don't need to say anything else. Enjoy! Howard, Janis & Scarlett
This house was perfect for us! Itâs located on a quiet cove and close to everything. The house has an amazing view and had everything we needed for our stay. Each bedroom had its own bathroom, which was very nice and the beds were extremely comfortable. Great communication from the property owners, too. Highly recommend!
Great stay. Used the dock for our pontoon. Enjoyed the sunrise and sunsets. Location was great. Off the main channel with limited boat traffic. Launched boat at State Park and brought it to the dock. Only took a few minutes. Wish there were some cleats on the dock for tie off but we managed. House was great everything we needed and very comfortable. We will be back.
This home is an absolute gem. Great fishing on the lake or off the dock. Tons of space and the owner has thought of absolutely everything! Kitchen is exceptionally well appointed. Very private and peaceful just minutes from town. Steve was very knowledgeable of the area and let us know about a local festival and fireworks display as well as some of the best locations on the lake for fishing. Hoping to make this a yearly thing for our family!
We stayed here for a weekend while attending an event at Radford University. If you heading to the area and looking at a few places side-by-side trying to decide, let me nudge you to this place. The interior, with its hanging plants and hand-constructed spiral staircase held up by a tree trunk is unique and beautiful. The view off the back porch of the lake is peaceful and lovely. Our stay was short, so we didn't have much of a chance to fully enjoy the surroundings, but it is a perfect place for a family get-together in the woods by the lake, something we might actually go back and do. Steve, the property owner, was helpful from beginning to end.
We were there for Virginia Tech graduation. We didnât spend much time in the house but I bet itâs great for a weekend on the lake enjoying water activities.
Classic lake house. Family place for tons of fun. Virginia countryside awesome. Local Draper Mercantile a treasure spot and proximity to Va Tech perfect!!!
Beautiful views from the deck while having morning coffee! Steven gave me great directions to find the place - GPS will not get you all the way. Everything you need is there, and Steven is just up the road if you need anything, but we just relaxed and enjoyed touring the Blue Ridge Mountains. A little too chilly to dip in the lake, but fishing boats trolled the creek every morning, so bring your pole if you want to fish off the dock!
Lake view from the house is outstanding. Hosts are lovely and communicative. Home had all household things needed to cook or grill at home. Their restaurant recommendations were spot on. Super easy to rent kayaks and paddleboards nearby. Only negative is that my husband and kids would have loved the hot tub in the pictures to be working. Caveat: my husband and kids love hot tubs. Overall, it was a great place to spend some family time before dropping off a freshman at VT and very happy with our stay.
This property has a beautiful view and the downstairs bedrooms have very comfortable beds. The owners live close by and brought us some very yummy cinnamon rolls one day! You couldnât ask for better communication from them and so nice! We rented a pontoon for 3 days from Rockhouse Marina and they deliver and pick up the boat to this house!! Great fishing off the dock and our family had an amazing time! Thanks for sharing your house with usâ
Our 4th or 5th stayâŠ. Itâs like coming home. Rustic and comfortable at the same time with the very best view and swimming spot on the lake. Thanks Steve and Laurie!!
The home is very clean and neat. The views are amazing and the porch is the perfect spot for morning coffee. You can even see the lake from the couch. Fishing from the dock was so much fun and we caught a lot of fish. My husband is already wanting to go back with are grown boys for a guys trip and I am wanting a girls trip there. This place is perfect for couples, families, girls and guy trips. We took kayaks and fished around the lake. Itâs also a great place to swim. We will be going back to stay. We took one day and went to Christiansburg to shop. Plenty of things to do. Highly recommend staying here.
Great weather this week. Fun on rafts throughout the day at the dock. House was good. Well stocked. Love sitting on back deck at night. Great location!!!
My whole family loved this house and the lake! Even the teenagers! They didn't want to leave. This house is so unique and it had everything we needed. The only time we left was for my son's baseball games, which is why we were there. The owner was very friendly and extremely helpful! We enjoyed learning more about the house and its history. The beds were very comfortable, everything was very clean. The last night, I slept on the pull-out sofa in the living room so I could wake up to the sunrise and the most beautiful view of the lake and the mountains. Trust me, you will want to try this!! We all definitely want to go back!
Our family stayed during VT graduation weekend. The house was very comfortable. Everything we needed for making meals and eating together. Family enjoyed fishing, playing basketball, and there was plenty of space for us to gather and visit. It was a lovely location on the lake!
Nice, quiet house on a cove just off the main lake with a fantastic view from the deck and living room. Wonderful dark skies at night for stargazing and photography. Wildlife (deer, lizards, migratory geese) was easy to find as well. Easy kayak rentals that deliver to, and pick up from, the dock. Steve and Laurie were easy to deal with and are right up the road for any questions. About 45 minutes to Va. Tech and to Floyd (little town with local artistsâ galleries and great local food).
This was our third stay in this wonderful home and we are already looking forward to next summer. Our family uses our lake week to reconnect after a busy season and it is the perfect place for itâŠ. I almost hope Claytor Lake stays a secret!!!! Steve and Laurieâs house is fabulous⊠although we are almost never in it unless it is raining and even then we are most likely out on the huge porch. This is not a fancy, lap of luxury type of vacation (go to another lake if thatâs your thing)⊠more like a âplay in the lake all day and then sleep whereverâ type of thing. We love it.
Our Family had an awesome time at this Lake house. The property was just as described and portrayed in the pictures. Steve the host lives nearby and was friendly, helpful and easy to work with. The House is homey with a very cool lodge feel and was just the perfect size for our group of 5. The property is on a quite cove with amazing lake views, a very nice dock with a boat lift and easy access to the water for swimming and fishing! Everything worked just as described and we had no problems what so all. We will be back!
