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, check out 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.

    • Lakewood Lodge was everything we expected and a great deal more. What a beautiful and peaceful place to get away. We thought we would stay in a cabin what we didn't know that Lakewood Lodge is the epitomy of what a cabin vacation should be. We were extremely pampered without invasiveness. This is the way to vacation! Thank you Sherry and Jerry!

    • What a beautiful place to "Get Away". We throughly enjoyed the comfort of this wonderful home and all the amenities that everyone will just have to see to believe. We were very please with everything.... especially Jake. He is the sweetest dog EVER! We will be recommending your hiding spot to everyone. Many Thanks!!!

    • As I'm sure you hear all the time, we had just the absolute best vacation at Lakewood. We are pretty sure we want to plan on coming again around the same time next year. Our daughter still gets misty-eyed when she realizes we're back home, LOL... she will periodically tell me, "I (sniff sniff) miss (sniff sniff) the cabin!!" Anyway, thank you once again for making us feel so welcome and so relaxed. It was exactly what we needed!

    • Dear Sherry and Jerry, Found the cabin a great getaway less than an hour from my home. At the start of winter and the start of the busy holiday season, it was the perfect place to refresh, renew. I plan to be back during the active season to enjoy the river and trail. Thanks so much for your comfortable, hospitable, warm and solid little house. Luci

    • What a wonderful retreat, definately a home away from home. We enjoyed fishing from the docks, fresh vegetables from the garden and just relaxing on the porch. The Cabin definately seems like it was a labor of love and it shows in every detail, from the structure to the decoration! Jake was an asset, the children loved playing with him and he is such a lovable dog, I think we all really miss him! Jerry and Sherry are wonderful people who make sure your stay is what it should be. They make you feel like you've been neighbors for years and you just feel welcome. We will be back, hopefully sooner than later. I don't think I could say enough great things about our stay but my daugter sums it up by saying simply "Wonderfulness"! The Griffith Family Lake Worth, FL P.S. You should try the honey, delicious!

    • We had a short family reunion tied to Beamer's Ladies Football Camp. The lake house was excellent for this. Kitchen very well equipped everything in the house was clean and in good working order. We did not get to use the water facilities as much as we would have liked due to time but the dock was excellent. All cell phones worked from the cabin an extra nice feature. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to stay by the lake with a large family. Also the Dish network was available, another nice feature seldom found.

      Homeowner Response:
      This comment refers to "Lakeshore Cabin", a larger property that we also manage. It is located on the water, just down the road from the lodge.
