This was not only a great "launching" point for hiking at McAfee Knob and attending a ceremony for our Hokie at Virginia Tech, but it was a lovely spot to launch on the double kayak or merely step into the hot tub or collapse into a chair with a view!

We stayed here for Virginia Tech Family Weekend and loved the house and setting. It was easy to get to campus but far enough away from the crowds. Highly recommended!

This is a wonderful place to stay. Located on Claytor Lake in a remote and quiet neighborhood. We were there during a meteor shower and were able to view several shooting stars each night. We also enjoyed watching the osprey, bald eagle, and hummingbird during our stay. We will definitely try to stay here again.

This place is amazing!! The description of the property is precise. It was everything we wanted and more. It was so nice to be able to sit on the porch in the evening and have a glass of wine or walk down to the dock to do a little fishing. A big perk was being able to dock the boat. Communication with the owner was great and answered all the questions that I had quickly. It is definitely a place I highly recommend and will go back to.

This was just what we were looking for. Quiet, relaxing, and a view of the lake. We took advantage of the fire pit (bring a lighter or matches, we couldn't locate any and purchased a lighter while we were out) and the outside area could use some lighting. When it gets dark it's difficult to see going back to the apt. Went for a late afternoon kayak ride that was just lovely! I think the upper deck and lawn furniture could be cleaned before guests arrive as it had spider webs and bird droppings. Also, the propane ran out on the gas grill before we were done cooking, but we were able to finish it in the oven. If you plan on using the grill, maybe ask if the propane tank has been replaced or how often it was used before your stay. Overall it was a nice stay and we would stay there again.
