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.

Awesome Cabin
Great place to stay! Very nice accommodation and it had everything we needed. There was a minor issue with the lock when we arrived and Dwayne made everything more than right very quickly despite the late hour we arrived at. Would stay again!

Such a Cozy Cabin!
We loved our long weekend here! The owners were very friendly and responsive. The property has everything you need and more. The biggest plus is its coziness. Between the open room and the great porch with pretty views of the lake, I finished a whole book. Kind of don't want to leave too good of a review because I want to keep it a secret! We WILL be back! (Note: as others have said, the cabin is not good for people who cannot do stairs)

Cozy Mountain House for VT Football
Wonderful stay with friends for a VT Football weekend. Cabin was very cozy, and the porch was wonderful for sipping coffee in the morning or wine at night. We would recommend for any getaway! Just a heads (if traveling with children), the bedroom ceiling is not fully closed off to the rest of the house.

Amazing olace to stay
The house had everything we needed. The lake was awesome and as a kid i played with Linkin logs and this was a house you would have built. The house was very clean very private we plan in using this house again. Great for VT students as well only 30 min away.

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.

Cabin on the lake
Absolutely beautiful, cozy cabin… My only concern is lots of steps for someone who is having knee surgery or an older person who may have issues with lots of steps. We really enjoyed our stay. They are fully stocked with everything you need. Love the added touches, the kayaks and paddle boards. Extremely nice owners! Can’t wait to visit again!

Great Lake Cabin!!
An adorable cabin on the water with plenty to do for everyone. From sitting on the awesome porch to yard games or water activities this cabin has it all. The host has paid attention to detail and made this a relaxing retreat. It was very clean and had all the kitchen supplies we needed. Would book here again.

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!

We had a wonderful time at the cabin for a spring break trip. We visited Virginia Tech and the Cascades while we stayed. We highly recommend eating at the Mason Jar that is right at the end of the road.

Lovely Lake Life
This is one of the most well appointed VRBOs I have ever booked with a super responsive host. The sizable kitchen is well equipped and living room couches super comfy. Loved the porch and lakeside dock. Be mindful that There are quite a few stairs required between the driveway and house, in the house and then down to the dock. And it’s worth every step!

Perfect spot!
We stayed during our daughter's graduation from Radford. It was close to everything yet completely relaxing when we arrived at the cabin. We didn't get a chance to go on the lake but would definitely return to take advantage of the amenities. Nothing was missing inside or out.

Easter weekend getaway
Fantastic Easter weekend stay - cozy cabin on the lake, there were great activities to do there as well as in the area. Went horseback riding, fishing, grilling and canoeing. Sitting on the porch with the view of the lake was fantastic. Would stay again.

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.

The host was very helpful, and the home is lovely. Lots of stairs to get to and around in the cabin, but the setting is lovely, the home is very nice, and the host was really great.
