Holiday rentals with a kayak in Claytor Lake

We've rented numerous vacation homes, and Jill's is an absolute stand-out! Every detail has been thought of in the wonderful kitchen, the beautiful bedrooms, the living spaces and all of the indoor and outdoor recreation for all ages. We stayed there for Va Tech graduation and wish we'd had more time at the house to enjoy everything. The screened porches are amazing. We spent lots of time out there, watching wildlife around the lake, listening to birds, playing games, and even enjoying a rainstorm. Highly recommend!

Beautiful home with excellent views of the lake and valley--it was especially lovely as the leaves were turning. Also, the place has dark skies for star-gazing on a clear night. All rooms were clean and as-presented in the photos and description. Jeff sent some very helpful info and photos to help us drive in to the house--especially helpful since the last ~1 mile is on a private, relatively narrow road. Also, my Android Maps app on my phone was clearly sending me to the wrong location (i.e., not to the lake), so we relied on my spouse's I-Phone--which brought us right in. (Interestingly, Google Maps on my laptop had showed the correct location, but Google navigation on my phone was pointing elsewhere.) Recommend you pre-check your nav feature in advance of your arrival. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a serene location with great views and lake access.

Good location away from the town and great hospitality

Alicia was a proactive and responsive host to a great home that afforded a very restful stay. Amenities were the best we’ve ever experienced at an Air B&B. Coffee, snacks, toiletries, plentiful supplies and quality towels and linens added to the experience. The welcome gifts (a strudel from a local bakery and bottle of wine) were enjoyed and were a classy touch. We booked the home to relax with family over Easter. The home exceed all expectations. Highly recommend this home and host.

If you’re looking for a true escape from the city, Susan and Dave’s place is the perfect choice! The cabin is chic, spotless, and spacious , and the surroundings feel straight out of a fairytale. Susan and Dave are warm, welcoming, and excellent communicators. We’d love to come back and highly recommend this magical getaway!

We absolutely loved this home for a long weekend fishing trip. The wives stayed at the house to watch a movie, tried out the nearest winery, and went into town just a few minutes away which was absolutely adorable. The husbands found a million different fishing spots and had a blast. The kitchen has more than enough supplies for cooking/ small amounts of leftovers. Including two crock pots!! The beds were comfy and the showers were hot. No complaints.

We had a great time. The home is beautiful and the view of the lake is awesome. Luis was very accommodating and communicative with us while we were there. He is a great host and I would highly recommend renting from him!! We had a fun time celebrating our son’s graduation from Virginia Tech!!

We met Debby & Dan. They are both wonderful, warm people. They are the kind of people that could become friends if we lived nearby. I'm sure they would do whatever they could to make anyone's stay the best it could be. We appreciated the fruit and baked goods that greated us on the table in the entryway. The coffee maker with coffee pods and teabags are a big plus. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Ed & Denise

We had a fun time at Chris’ lake house. It was very clean, quiet, and had all the amenities as described. Hot tub (with its private surround) was enjoyable during the winter temps. Ample kitchen supplies since there aren’t any restaurants around. Make sure to get groceries beforehand!

Thank-you Frank for sharing your New River get away house with us. We loved being able to drive back and forth to our nearby home in order to care for our other fur kiddos. I appreciate you being flexible to allowing us to bring Buddy last minute too. We didn't mind the train noise at all. Beautiful view on the front porch of the river, we really enjoyed how peaceful the place is.

Absolutely beautiful location! Perfect home for our nephews college graduation. We spent most of the days outside on the deck overlooking the peaceful lake. The entire home was comfortable and welcoming. We especially liked the record player in the living room. Would love to visit this home in the fall to see the foliage. Thank you for sharing your piece of heaven with us on our special weekend.

We loved our stay at The Cottage! The home is rich with history, is so charming, inviting and so relaxing. The bikes and kayaks are a huge plus! Everything was great! We hope to return later in the year! Highly recommend!

My husband and I spent the weekend in Bassett to attend an event at Fairy Stone State Park. Tamara and Luis’s cottage was the perfect respite. The property is absolutely beautiful and all of the summer flowers were in bloom. Our beagle, Molly, loved meeting, Buddy, Tamara and Luis’s lab doodle. I highly recommend this location for anyone who wants a quiet, beautiful, soulful time away from the busyness of life.

it was absolutely beautiful and so peaceful. My husband and I stayed here for our 2nd anniversary. We felt refreshed and at peace. The sauna and hot tub were definitely a pleasure. My favorite night was when I was in the hot tub and it was raining on the tin roof. so relaxing. If we ever go back I will definitely want to stay there again

The place was more than what I expected. Absolutely beautiful and everything was well thought out. When I say everything I mean it. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could think of minus the food of course. The heated toilet seat was definitely a plus for the cold nights. When you walk out back there is a nice little waterfall that the kids really enjoyed. My fiancé and I took advantage of the fire pit which came in handy because it was rather cold for our stay. The bed downstairs was so comfortable, literally had the best nights sleep. I don’t think there is anything bad to say about this place. If you are looking to get away, this is definitely your spot ( I would like to add it is 2hrs plus from anything if you’re trying to get into any activities). Highly recommended!

Bob and Candy were awesome hosts! Quick to respond with any questions, and are very friendly. One of the best hosts we have ever encountered. The place is beautiful and recommended to other guests. They have equipped the place with anything you would need. Would definitely return. 10/10

We stayed here while we waited for our house to close. This was an awesome choice. If you are looking for peace and a feeling of being right at home this is it! Tommy is an extremely gracious host, super responsive to any inquiries and has loads of information on the area and things to do- places to go. You will love his place. It’s a tucked away gem, and there are many good books if you just want to hang out. It’s a very nice place!

We loved staying.. wish we could have stayed longer! Everything was cozy and clean and homey!

Beautiful cabin with a beautiful lake! Enjoyed my stay one immensely!! Made the best memories here! Owners are kinda amazing people! So sweet in offering their, asparagus, ping pong table, puzzles, and flower blooms in the garden for picking! 10/10 recommend. Oh and they have all the boats and kayaking gear you need for lake rides 👍

Could not recommend this location enough; perfect for summer getaways and right next to the lake!

Very nice place, quiet and nice to be able to walk down to the water. Thanks

We wanted a relaxing weekend getaway to enjoy some family time and R&R. The remoteness of the cabin was perfect for that. Although we recommend arriving in the daytime, it was dark when we got there and that single lane road going in was a tad scary. Lol The hosts were very friendly and responsive. The amenities were spot on. There was plenty of room to accommodate our crew (2 adults, 3 teenagers and a dog). The hot tub was great and we enjoyed sitting around the table playing games and sharing laughs. Definitely a nice relaxing weekend spent making memories!
