The house is in a great location on the lake. Unfortunately the house itself was a huge disappointment for the many things that made it a substandard environment. It was so bad we left a day early rather than spend another night there.

We’re glad you enjoyed the home’s location on the lake, but we’re sorry to hear that the house itself did not meet your expectations. This property is indeed an older home with classic charm, including some wood-paneled walls, but it has also been updated with care. The entire downstairs was completely renovated within the past year, and the deck was recently refinished to enhance the guest experience.
While we regret that you chose to leave early, we appreciate the feedback and will continue making improvements to balance the home’s character with modern comfort.

The house was very comfortable and the hot tub was clean! The location on the lake is beautiful, but a bit out of the way. The fenced in area was perfect for our little dog! Be advised there are skylights in both the king size bedrooms.

We were looking for a relaxing weekend with family and the Lazy Bass was perfect for us. Great communication with the hosts, well stocked house and kitchen, great wifi, and quiet neighborhood. The big yellow house really stands out on the street and makes it easy to find and the fenced backyard is perfect if you bring a pet.

Great Experience
We took a sibling trip to the house with our kids and it was the perfect place for us. Kid friendly. The road was private so we were able to enjoy a few walks. The house was clean and cozy. And of course, we enjoyed the lake!
The house is located on an incredibly peaceful and relaxing section of the lake. We had everything we needed to enjoy our lake stay. The neighbors up and down the street are very friendly. We would live to stay here again sometime in the future.

The perfect place for a family getaway! Far enough away, but close enough to amenities! Loved swimming right off the dock, having a nightly bonfire, and plenty of space to spread out within the house. The state park swimming beach was only a 25 minute drive away and was the perfect place to relax with the family! Had an amazing time and will definitely recommend to others!

Our stay at the Lazy bass was so quiet and peaceful and in a beautiful neighborhood. We felt very safe and had easy access to our trails. We cooked most of our meals and had plenty of supplies there to have a relaxing time; we even grilled outside while viewing the lake. The 2 king beds were very comfortable. Overall it was pleasant stay.

10 of us (ages 5-75) spent a wonderful 5 days at this nice home on Claytor Lake. We found it very clean and well stocked. The beds, including the sofa bed, were very comfortable. The kids alternated their fun time between the video consoles and the dock. The neighbors were spectacularly friendly and helpful. Overall, a great time.
