Location: Claytor Lake, Virginia, USA (35 Miles from VT in Blacksburg, 60 Miles from Roanoke, VA)
Accommodations: Lake House, 3 Bedrooms, 3 Baths (Sleeps 6-8)
Lakeview House overlooks beautiful Claytor Lake. It is situated on 5 acres of pastoral land across the road from Claytor Lake. Located in a quiet, residential neighborhood, it has all the conveniences of a full house with the feel of a vacation retreat.
The owners have 2 children and 2 dogs themselves so they are very welcoming to families and dogs. There is a huge yard for them to run and play. Games and movies are also available.
You will be amazed at the large, newly expanded kitchen with all the latest upgrades, impressed with the beautiful hardwood floors, (both done by the owner), and comfortable using the double-sided wood-burning stone fireplace.
Walk or drive less than 5 minutes to the dock and lake access. You can use the dock to fish, dock your boat or just relax.
Perfect location for lodging for those home VT and RU sporting events and graduations! No crowds, no motels and less traffic by traveling uncrowded, rural roads. (We recommend you book more than a year in advance for graduations and as soon as sports schedules are released.)
And what a special place for a family gathering spot for Thanksgiving and Christmas!!
"Lakeview House" is located on the same private road as "Lakewood Lodge" and managed by the same friendly folks.
The managers live close by and can be there quickly should the need arise.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
Peter, Susan, Andrew and Bethany Thompson relocated to Blacksburg from Southern California in May of 2006 for Susan's job. Susan is a Product Marketing Manager for Tetra, a local manufacturer of aquarium products and fish food. She is a member of the Blacksburg Junior Women's Club, an organization that gets involved with local service needs. Peter has an efficiency consulting business and has spent much of his time, over the past few years, adding on the beautiful kitchen and remodeling other parts of Lakeview House. His reputation for great work and attention to detail in remodeling houses has developed into a budding business. He has taken on numerous jobs with many happy homeowners as the end result. The kids keep us very busy with sports, swimming and dance. We have two young, rambunctious dogs, Bella and Cody, who always make our life interesting!
Why the Owner Chose Claytor Lake
We absolutely love the mountains and New River Valley area of Virginia and decided right away that this would be a wonderful place to retire when the time came. We first thought that we'd buy a piece of land on Claytor Lake and build a house later. When this awesome property became available, we jumped at the chance to own it. We haven't been disappointed!
The Unique Benefits of this Lake House
One of the best things about this property are the neighbors. We couldn't have asked for better. The mature trees, the expansive areas surrounding the house, as well as the views of the glistening lake through most every window in the house give us a feeling of serenity and provide us with a place to just breathe and escape back to nature with our children. We took about 6 months to plan the design of the kitchen and it has turned out to be one of our favorite places to hang out. Everyone seems to gather there and the mesmerizing view of the lake from the windows is awesome. We love having a place that friends and family can come and relax and enjoy the lake.
We hope that the people who come to stay at our home will enjoy it as much as we do.
