Very relaxing, beautiful surroundings. I reached out to the owner with some questions, and he got back with me right away. Excellent communication. I would stay here again.
A perfect spot on a quiet part of Claytor Lake; the house easily accommodated three adults, mixing a charming location with modern-day comforts like a hot tub and Wi-Fi.
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 didnât 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.
Beautiful property, with a great view of the water. The house was very clean and nicely decorated. Very comfortable and enjoyable stay! The property owner was communicative and friendly. I can recommend this property.
Property manager was great to work with. Great secluded cabin for a relaxing getaway. Listing was accurate. Found someone elseâs hair in the shower and ants in the living room or I would have rated cleanliness 5 stars.
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!
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.
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.
Great cottage located on Claytor Lake. All the amenities we needed. A great place to relaxe, commfortable and clean bedding, a grill and hot tub. Plus a super responsive host. 5 stars.
My family had a beautiful long weekend at Claytor Lake. Green Cape Cottage is clean, comfortable and has everything you will need for a home away from home. We loved being on the water and close to the state parks and hiking trails. We will definitely be back!
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.
Recommended. Cute, well appointed cottage lake front with small swimming dock. Located in a remote and private enclave. Swimming was great. Good fishing. Nice lake views and lots of peace and quiet. Huge private hot tub a plus. The host could not have been nicer.
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 wasnât 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 âliveâ tv options, but the smart TV had several streaming apps for use.
Overall we had a very pleasant experience and hope to visit again!
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.
We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was exactly as depicted in the listing. The host is an excellent communicator. The neighbors are friendly and itâs very private. We enjoyed kayaking, swimming and fishing off the dock. The cottage was cozy and had virtually everything we needed. We would absolutely recommend this stay!
Highly recommend this place. The property is perfect. Recently done over and right on the beautiful lake. Very peaceful and only 35 minutes to Radford University and 40 minutes from VT make it a great spot to have college kids join you for a weekend
Overall it was a great weekend getaway. Everything was very clean and had such a beautiful view. The only thing we didnât 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! Couldnât enjoy the hot tub during the day. We also interestingly found about 7 ladybugs inside the house when we arrived. Donât get me wrong, Iâd 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.
Comforting cottage tucked away in a nice secluded part of the lake. Serene surroundings and peaceful vibes for a great family getaway. Very accommodating cabin and Chris is right there if you need him for anything. Youâll feel at home on your stay. Relaxing in the hot tub after a long day on the water is the best..
