"Lake View House" overlooks beautiful Claytor Lake. This modern 4 bedroom home is situated on 5 acres of pastoral land across a private 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 added kitchen with all the latest upgrades, impressed with the beautiful hardwood floors, 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!!
"Lake View 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.

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 at this 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.

I live in Georgia and my sister lives in Pennsylvania. We've been looking for a good place to meet halfway and visit for a couple of days. We found it at Lakeview Lodge. My sister brought her 10 year old daughter and our mother and I brought my son and his 8 year old daughter. So there were 6 of us. Since it was the week after Christmas (we stayed for 3 nights) and it was chilly, we mostly stayed indoors. But we did go visit the owner's dock on the lake (Jerry lent us his golf cart and his dog Jake jumped aboard for short visit - what a sweetie). The girls insisted on a bonfire one afternoon in the outdoor pit and they enjoyed that. ALL the girls enjoyed having jacuzzi tub soaks a couple of times each. What a deal our stay was. The cost of one hotel room and we got a whole house! The homemade apple butter that Jerry and Sherry make is wonderful (lots of cinnamon). The lodge was extremely clean and had all the furnishings and kitchen appliances/accessories we could need (we cooked all our meals and didn't go out to eat). We're looking forward to another visit in the summer. Thanks Sherry and Jerry

Wish there were 6 stars and I would have chose that one. One of the best trip we ever had. Enjoyed every corner and every moment in the house. Please add Pool, air hockey or some indoor game and it will be extra gem for your property. Can't wait to be back in Summer. LOVED IT !!!! Excellent house with Excellent Hospitality from Management. 100/100.

Our extended family (6 adults and 3 children) spent a weekend at the lakehouse before the holidays. The little ones especially enjoyed the lighted Christmas tree, and since we were celebrating the holiday a little early, Santa had a place to leave gifts! We all enjoyed the festive table settings with Christmas dishes. Sherry and Jerry had left lights on for our arrival. What a great welcome! The accomodations were exactly as stated. Everything was clean and well maintained - the kitchen was wonderful! This is a great place to stay. The views of the lake are wonderful.

This was a first for us and we absolutely loved it. From teenagers to toddlers everyone loved it and did not want to leave! The kitchen was awesome and that is where we spent most of our time! Having our family together, Tech beating Carolina and beautiful weather was absolutely fantastic! Sherry is more than helpful and such an accommodating individual! We will definitely return for another fun time!

The place is perfect for family gatherings. The kitchen is a dream and I want one just like it. The bedrooms are large and beds very comfortable. The view of the lake is great..I would love to be there in the spring. We plan to return. Everyone enjoyed the weekend with plenty of room to spread out. We brought a dog and it was very dog friendly..thank you so much for allowing dogs. It was perfect.

My husband and I, both VT alumni, rented this house for us and some family for the VT/Miami game this past Saturday--and I'm glad we did! The house was great. Clean, nicely decorated, very roomy, and on beautiful Claytor Lake. Another plus was that it is pet-friendly so we could bring along our dog to share in the fun. I received excellent customer service from Sherry and Jerry and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a vacation, whether it's a weekend or a whole week. Maybe we'll be back next season!

My family and I stayed here the first week of August 2011. The house was absolutely beautiful and the view of the water was grand. We were able to access the water with ease and appreciate the help of the caretake who let us have use of his dock to fish and swim. Thank you for making our family vacation so enjoyable.

Our family stayed in this home for only one night but we all agreed we could have stayed there for the rest of our lives!! It is a beautiful, comfortable, clean home with a wonderful view. The owners who rented us home were the most kind and helpful couple we have ever met! We will plan to stay again soon!
