We had a great weekend at the cabin with our VT hokie. Trina was a great communicator and we had everything we needed. We enjoyed chess and board games when it rained. We hope to be back!

Cabin at the Cove felt like a home away from home for making memories with my fam. Activities there and nearby included playing indoor games, fishing, kayaking (which we did carry down and up the 90 steps successfully at beginning and end of stay), rail trail adventures, bird and other wildlife sitings, reading, and more. Easy procedure for arrival and departure. House was clean and everything worked as expected. Appreciate opportunity to speak with homeowner too early on in the reservation process.

Nice place

The property is nice and is in a great location on a cove of the lake. We were there for a Virginia Tech football game so we didn’t get to take advantage of all the cabin had to offer. It was clean and communication was easy. It is remote, but also not far from the interstate, so it was convenient to get to the grocery store, etc.

Great 3-Day Getaway with Old Friends

Just like the name implies - a fantastic cabin on the cove overlooking the lake. Beautiful property inside and out. We were in town for the Metallica concert at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg. It allowed us the space and the place for some 50 year old college friends to reconnect after many years.Super communication with the owner. Looking at renting again with our families in the future.

Great weekend away!

I booked the cabin for a surprise weekend away for my husband's birthday. It was an amazing experience and just what we needed. The cabin was quiet, clean and well-appointed with everything we needed to relax and unwind. The views were amazing and we enjoyed the opportunity to spend time outside just taking them and the quiet sounds of nature all weekend long. The cabin is also located a short drive from VT, where we were able to attend the spring game without any issues getting there or back. Finally, we also took the owners advice and had brunch at the Draper Mercantile, which was delicious. Thank you for sharing your wonderful cabin. We definitely want to come back!

Great for weekend family getaway

Our family had a wonderful weekend stay at this cabin in July. This property has lovely views of the lake and surrounding mountains from a quiet cove. It has a long staircase down to its own private dock in the cove, which was something our sons enjoyed for fishing. We rented a pontoon boat from the nearby Mountain Island marina one day and we were able to pull up to the dock. The cabin itself is clean, spacious, and thoughtfully furnished with a variety of games, movies, and books, which our family enjoyed. The property owner, Trina, was friendly and responsive, and she made the check in and check out process easy for us. Overall our family drew closer to each other during our weekend stay at this cabin.

Cozy Cabin Getaway

We really enjoyed our trip to Cabin at the Cove - what a beautiful, serene setting! You can just tell the multitude of incredible memories that have been made here from the moment you step inside (my husband and I played a game of Chess against one another for the first time ever!). Great space, well stocked, and Trina is SO responsive - couldn't have asked for better communication. We were on a trip to attend the absolutely baltic Virginia Tech Football Game (Go Hokies!) Thanksgiving weekend and were so lucky to enjoy downtime in this warm, inviting cabin. Bonus you ask!? - The views! Would love to come back again in the future!

A nice stay at the lake

Five ~30 guys on a bachelor trip rented this property. We had a great time relaxing on the lake. The house was great, quiet, plenty big, and easy to find. We did utilize the dock on the second day which was great. No complaints, but do bring some coffee (they have the maker and filter) and shower products. The owners provided exceptional communication and were helpful. Would rent this again! Do note that there is one master bedroom and the rest of the "sleeping spots" are in the loft together. There are also couches on the main floor and basement for some separation. Overall had a great time and would *highly* recommend renting this spot!

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin on Claytor Lake. It was exactly what we were looking for; a peaceful, relaxing getaway for my son and me. Beyond just unwinding, there was plenty to keep us busy, including kayaking and fishing right on the lake.Trina was an excellent host, responsive, friendly, and full of great local tips. She pointed us toward Mountain 2 Island for kayak/equipment rentals, which was fantastic since they deliver right to the dock and pick everything up afterward, no hassle at all. She also recommended some nearby hiking trails that were a great addition to the trip.One unexpected highlight was the lack of cell service and internet at the cabin; it really helped us disconnect and relax. For anyone who needs some connectivity, bringing a Starlink dish works well; just know the sky visibility from the cabin is a bit limited, so speeds top out around 36 Mbps. That's still plenty for streaming or getting a bit of work done if needed.Overall, this was the perfect spot for some much-needed rest and recharging, and we'd happily stay again. There is also a lot of wild life, especially deer that frequent the area around the cabin too!

This was a fantastic week! My grandsons got up and started fishing at 5:30 AM every day. We played games every night. The lack of Wi-Fi was a blessing.

Great long weekend

Spent three nights with my 2 sons and their sons age 10. Great property and location. Boys loved the fishing from the deck and swimming and fishing at the state park. Very comfort accommodations for the 5 of us for a boys weekend! Played games and no one missed the internet! A good unplugged weekend. Gorgeous views from the deck!

Perfect getaway!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time at Cabin at the Cove. The cabin was so spacious and comfortable and had everything that we could possibly need. We all felt very much at home. The lake access is great and the cove is so quiet and relaxing for floating and swimming. The host was extremely accommodating and responsive. Highly recommend!!
