Wedding, honeymoon, anniversary, birthday, getaway vacation in your future?? Celebrate in "rustic luxury" at the LAKEWOOD LODGE!!
Lakewood Lodge is a Daniel Boone Log Home being offered as a luxury rental property. This full log home is not a simple cabin. It was built to be a private residence and is a "Step above". Lakewood Lodge is a luxury rental with more amenities than similar properties. Read the comments - our guests agree!!
It is nestled in the rural mountains of Southwestern Virginia. It is only a 5 minute walk or drive to our private dock, where you can fish, canoe, kayak or hammock!
The lodge is a perfect destination of its own or a jumping off point for the many recreational activities the New River Valley offers. It is located 10 minutes from I - 81, and 2 New River Trail biking and hiking access points.
It is 45 minutes from Virginia Tech, 20 minutes from Radford University; a wonderful lodging without the crowds for home sporting events or graduations. (Recommend you book one year in advance for graduations and as soon as sporting schedules are publicized.)
The lodge is 10 minutes from 2 public boat launches for Claytor Lake, yet far enough from the water to cushion you from early morning bass boat or jet ski noise. There is a budding orchard and a bee apiary on site. Pontoon and pleasure boat rentals may be arranged through local providers.
PERFECT FOR PROPOSING, FOR WEDDINGS AND HONEYMOONS!!
We can help you plan your special day and have local vendors ready to help you with your wedding preparations!! Handcrafted, "rustic luxury" gazebo with landscaped fish pond and small waterfall!
Secluded and romantic with a honeymoon suite, jacuzzi tub, all copper fixtures. Loads of ambiance. Attention to detail.
As the builders, owners and managers of Lakewood, we do everything we can to make your stay restful and rejuvenating, just like the vacations we like to take.
We live close by so we can be there quickly if the need should arise.
We can't wait to share our world with you!
If you need more room for a larger family, ask about our sister property, Lakeshore Cabin!!
Call/email even if your desired dates are blocked out! We can refer you to other similar area lodgings.
OFF-SEASON SPECIAL!! Dec.- April, book 2 nights, get the 3rd night free, or $100 per night! Great deal for Christmas, Valentine's Day, anniversaries, and family spring break!
Holidays require a 3 day minimum.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
Jerry and Sherry Vaughn have been married for 35 years and have lived at Claytor Lake for 33 years, Jerry is retired from Verizon and Sherry is a retired educator. They raised 2 children, Kristin and Jeremy in the same neighborhood where Lakewood Lodge is located. Jeremy is a licensed contracter and along with his dad, did the beautiful finish work inside the log home. Jerry hand-crafted the wedding gazebo on site and takes care of the property maintenance, on site apiary, fish pond and orchard. Sherry planned and decorated Lakewood herself, as well as doing the property management, the interior maintenance and assists in planning weddings and other events. They are hands-on owners and managers and delight in meeting and "spoiling" their guests.
Why the Owner Chose Claytor Lake
We built Lakewood Lodge, a beautiful log home, on the same private road that we have lived on for over 30 years in a community where we raised our children. We are so blessed to be living in this wonderful community and to have beautiful Claytor Lake in our front yard and the New River Trail at our back door! We just wanted to share our little slice of paradise with others who appreciate simple pleasures and family togetherness!
The Unique Benefits of this Rental Log Home
This property is unlike other rentals where we have stayed. We have taken all the things that we like about rentals we have visited and added those things that we WISHED they had to create a unique lodging in Lakewood Lodge. Located away from city lights and "touristy" venues, couples and families are able to find quality time and activities to bring them closer together through their closeness to nature.
