Spring Break

We had a wonderful stay. A quick 3 night stay after picking up our daughter at Virginia Tech. It was the perfect size for my family of 5. Even though the lake water was cold, it didn’t stop us from having our cold plunge or getting the kayak out. The hot tub easily took the chill away. The house had a wonderful view of the lake. It was very clean and the beds were quite comfortable. We would highly recommend staying here.

VCOM graduation

We had a wonderful weekend celebrating our daughter's graduation from VCOM. We rented both Claytor Escape and Green Cape Cottage. We enjoyed the kayak, paddle boards and swimming off the dock. The house was clean and well-stocked. Check in was easy and the host was very responsive. And - the front porch of Claytor Escape is wonderful!

We had a great time at this comfortable, well-equipped house right on Claytor Lake. The hot tub area was excellent and provided lots of fun in post-graduation rainy weather, and the many decks and eating areas really added to the coziness and convenience. Would definitely recommend this place for a relaxing getaway.

Tucked-away paradise

Perfect for us - quaint neighborhood setting on a private part of the lake. Swam off the dock a lot. Paddled down by the sandbar, which hosts beavers and otters and birds. Watched the osprey dive for fish in the lake. Checked out the outcroppings on the far bank. Took evening walks along the lakeside down the private lane. Serene, beautiful, fun stuff. Nice lake views from the house - upstairs and down. Everything was neat and clean and well-appointed. Host was available and helpful and friendly.

Relaxing lakeside vacation

Just returned from a very nice, relaxing vacation at this charming lakeside cottage. The cottage is situated in a beautiful waterfront location, well off the beaten path. The host was very communicative, and made sure we had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Because we were there off season, we were not able to take advantage of many of the lake activities, but took advantage of the wonderful hot tub. We will definitely consider a return stay in the summertime months. A couple things to be aware of if you are planning a stay here, the entrance to the home requires you to climb 30+ stairs to reach the front porch. This wasn’t an issue for us but may be for anyone with mobility limitations. Also, because the house is situated in a mostly wooded area, insects are aplenty. We had a few spiders, wasps, flys & ladybugs join us during our stay. No problem for us, but something to expect. Finally, there was no cable or satellite tv for “live” tv options, but the smart TV had several streaming apps for use. Overall we had a very pleasant experience and hope to visit again!

Wonderful house with amazing views

We had a wonderful time at Green Cape Cottage. The views are amazing, the house is comfy and well stocked. The hot tub is one of the most therapeutic I have experienced. My only suggestion is to update the cookware with stainless steel. The pots and pans are Teflon and are very scratched up, which makes them a health hazard. Teflon is a forever chemical and scratched pans should never be used because you end up ingesting the Teflon and it never leaves your system. We brought our own pan because we have experienced the same thing at other rentals.

Pros and Cons

Overall it was a great weekend getaway. Everything was very clean and had such a beautiful view. The only thing we didn’t like was that there was a bee issue. Of course we enjoyed the hot tub at night but when we tried during the day, the bees surrounded us! Couldn’t enjoy the hot tub during the day. We also interestingly found about 7 ladybugs inside the house when we arrived. Don’t get me wrong, I’d much rather it be ladybugs than any other insect! But we had to keep letting them back outside. Again, overall, had a great time and enjoyed the view. Very quiet and relaxing area.
