"We enjoyed our stay here. Nice big kitchen area, TVs in every room which the kids enjoyed. Hot tub was in a great spot where you could look out over the lake while we stayed warm in the 40degree weather :) The driveway is quite steep and short so keep that in mind as you approach it for the first time."

"What a peaceful place to visit. Wonderful views of the river, which was mere steps from the house. Had everything we needed for a quiet getaway Thanksgiving. My husband, son and dog enjoyed exploring the river and nearby train tracks. An afternoon at VT was a short drive away. Will be back with our kayaks for warm summer fun. Thanks Frank!"

"This property exceeded my expectations and was the perfect cottage for my family. It was immaculate and well-equipped. The natural surroundings were absolutely stunning. The muffins were scrumptious and much appreciated! Highly recommend! "

"This was the perfect property for our recent trip to Virginia Tech for our daughter’s graduation. It is easily accessible from 460, making it a great choice for Tech activities. Everything was as advertised with an added surprise gift of freshly baked coffee cake and a lovely hand-illustrated welcome note! Paul and Colleen provided excellent directions and were prompt with communication. Unfortunately, we found this gem on our last visit to Blacksburg. If we ever find ourselves coming back I...

"The home is on a finger of Claytor Lake, which was quiet and out of the wind. It is eclectic with kitchen on bottom level and living room area on the second level. You can access both levels independently from the driveway. Overall, comfortable for our needs given the weather wasn't great but we were in town for graduation."

"Beautiful cottage on Claytor Lake was perfect setting for family of 5 adults to celebrate Virginia Tech Graduation. Cottage has everything needed for a stay on the lake. Beautifully renovated, well stocked, perfect place for our family to gather to celebrate."

"Our family loved the beautiful Farmhouse! The house was neat, organized, and very clean! The outside areas were wonderful as well- all ages enjoyed the games and activities provided by the hosts:) The property is stunning and a perfect place to unwind and relax. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and were very helpful with any questions we had. We will definitely be returning soon:)"

"Great place; nothing anywhere near it"

"I can't say enough about our stay. They literally though of everything possible that one could need plus some. As soon as you walk in, it just feels like home. Kathie left fresh Pumpkin muffins on the table for us upon arrival. The property in itself is breathtaking. We spent hours on the porch off of the living room. We were lucky enough to get a little storm during our stay so we got to enjoy the storm on the porch and watch as the lightening and fireflies lit up the night. It was a magical...

"Our stay at Claytor Lake was quiet, comfortable and fun with beautiful sunsets to end each day (or lead to further enjoyment in the game room!!). Me and my three VT graduates had a great time both at this Vrbo rental home as well as visiting former haunts and new places to eat in Blacksburg and the surrounding area. Our host Bruce was informative, efficient in providing information leading up to our stay and responded quickly if questions came up. We are already talking about returning to the...

"I never do reviews, but was so impressed I am sharing. The property was exactly as pictured and described. Had booked a year in advance for my daughter’s graduation. It was a great place for a family gathering. We took advantage of kayaks, cornhole, and pool table. Everything was clean, grass mowed, and fire pit ready to go. Very happy with the property and process. Thanks"
