Fantastic lakefront cabin in the heart of the New River Valley. Very well decorated and furnished, with a wonderful view of Claytor Lake from the screened in back porch. Host was very helpful and communicated well. Will definitely be staying here again on my next trip to the area.

Awesome Family Vacation

Lake Cabin was just perfect for our family vacation. We wanted a place on the lake that was peaceful and allowed us to relax and unwind , along with having access to all the fun on the water. This place had it all , including marshmallows for some s’mores ! Hosts were excellent ! We will definitely re book , 5 stars all the way.

Cabin retreat in total comfort

We wanted a cozy cabin with all the creature comforts (Wi-Fi, tv, full kitchen, good shower). This cabin in the Claytor Lake State Park with water access fit the bill perfectly. The cabin is beautiful, comfortable, cozy, and set up with everything you need to get away from it all. The owner/managers were attentive, available, helpful, and just so kind. We highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting Va Tech (as we were) and want something peaceful, cozy, and comfortable. (Note: the cabin is situated on a hill and there are a lot of steps from parking to the entrance.)

cabin

The stay here was wonderful. There was a lot of communication ahead to tell us they were expecting us. There was communication after arrival to see if we needed anything. Honestly I have never felt more cared about in any location that I stayed. It was a bonus to have paddle boats and extra water gear on sight that we could enjoy. The one thing is there were a lot of steps. We didn't mind that at all as we were on the side of the hill. My husband booked this so it may have already been in the listing. The cabin was cozy and we loved the stay.

Weekend Getaway

This property is a nice place to gather and spend some quality family time. The owners are extremely nice and helpful any time you need something! The place definitely needs some improvements (new dish ware, cleaner upon arrival(we had to clean almost every dish before being able to use it), organization of items, safer setup of TV, updated items in general). There are quite a lot of stairs, so be mindful of that. Definitely recommend the property just for the niceness of the owners!! They are still in the process of fixing some things up, so as time goes on I know this place will get better and better. Will have to visit again once updates have been made!

Idyllic getaway

We wanted a cabin retreat with genuine comfort for a long weekend. This cabin in Claytor Lake State Park fit the bill perfectly. It’s beautifully rustic set on a steep hill overlooking an inlet of the lake. Nicely furnished, with even a few mods to the season. Quiet, peaceful, comfortable and really cabin-y. Beautiful picture windows, rocking chairs to enjoy the porch (both covered & open), a boat house with canoes and paddle boards (we didn’t use), a hammock, well equipped kitchen, nice sized bathroom with everything you need as well as space for your own stuff. We remarked several times that we thought the owners organized and outfitted the place with everything you could need/want. The owner and his team were very communicative, accommodating, and attentive throughout our stay. We came home relaxed and recharged. Thank you so much for a fantastic experience.

Lock up your stuff

We were having a great stay right up until someone stole a wooden divider used to organize our minivan. I left it leaning against a pole beside the parking pad and when I came out in the morning to pack, it was gone. A pretty negative last impression.

A relaxing cabin with a little workout

My brother and I stayed here for a few days in the spring as a nice break from work and to get in some fishing. The cabin is equipped with everything you need whether it be a short or long stay. There are plenty of pots, pans, and cooking utensils. You have a full kitchen at your disposal with a good size dining table and there is also a washer/dryer if you need them. There is plenty to do in the area, but there is also a TV with satellite service and a bunch of board games for rainy days. The property has a nice grill and a couple fire pits for roasting marshmallows with the family. There is also a wrap around deck with enough seating for the whole family to relax on. The only negative was that there are a lot of stairs to get down to the water, over 100 from the parking spot. Thankfully my brother and I looked at it as a way to get a decent workout in as we had to carry our 100lb+ kayaks down all the stairs plus all our fishing gear. The hosts are very responsive and checked in a few times to make sure our stay was great!

Our family of five loved our stay at the cabin! Exactly as described online. Cabin had all things needed for fun on the lake, even had a s’mores bar that the kids loved! We came for a Tech football game weekend. Easy drive into Blacksburg from the lake. Would highly recommend staying at this property. Host was excellent!

Perfect Stay

This cabin in the lake is a gem. It’s everything you need and super well equipped and organized. The owner was very responsive. It’s a beauty on the lake with a private dock, a beautiful back porch overlooking the lake, a picnic/grill area with table and chairs also overlooking the lake. It was 25 minutes from Tech, so very convenient.

Just What The Dr. Prescribed

Quaint, quiet, and cozy cabin nestled right on Claytor Lake. The cabin was clean and just as described and pictured. Husband and I were having a get-a-way weekend and it was perfect. Had one rolling storm come through and it was wonderful to listen to the rain hitting the metal roof. Love that this owner allows access to canoes, kayaks and watershed. My hubby and I went in the lake each day; he fished and I just enjoyed the peace and quiet. Saw all kinds of wildlife during our time on the water to include some turkeys. Dwayne was a great host and made contact on our first night to see if there was anything we needed and gave us his number if we needed to reach out. Excellent host! All in all it’s exactly what we needed this weekend.

Lovely getaway

My friend and I had a very nice stay at this cabin. It is very close to Clayton Lake state park, Pulaski and Draper. It is well appointed and the back porch view is wonderful. My only suggestions are: 1. People need to be aware that there are a lot of steps leading down to the house, then when you get inside there is a pretty steep staircase leading down to the living area. I would also suggest instructions on the heating and air system. All in all I would recommend staying here if you don't mind stairs.
