Peaceful!!!!! Lakefront view was the best. My wife and I spent most of out time on the dock just people watching. We don't get out much. Ate at the Draper Mercantile for three meals and would highly recommend to everyone to stop by. We will definitely be booking again soon.

Wonderful little cottage on the river. It is older but well taken care of. The owners thought of everything you might need during your stay. Just show up and enjoy! The place was very clean. The host is quick to respond to messages. Would highly recommend!

This cottage was a perfect place for enjoying the New River area. The location is incredible with such beautiful waterfront views on a very peaceful road. We had fabulous weather the entire week we were there so spent most of our time on the deck, down by the water, or biking the New River Trail (we were able to bike to a trailhead from the cottage itself). But even if poor weather would have kept us inside, the sweeping views from the living/dining area would still make it a great place to be (and the furniture is exceptionally comfortable, along with the bed). Coffee on the dock watching the sunrise was a favorite way to start the day! The cottage was very clean with many nice touches and Aaron was always quick and thorough with communication. We love biking the New River Trail and did the entire trail during our days there (as well as the Huckleberry Trail); this spot was a great home base for that. Highly recommend a stay here - we'd love to return!

The views from the cottage were beautiful. It was very relaxing but close to hiking trails. The screened porch was a favorite place for our dog and us. Kitchen was adequately furnished. You may want to bring foil, charcoal and lighter fluid for the grill.

Great house with a view from every seat inside and out. It felt like anything you might need was there if you looked a bit. Kids loved the kayaks and fishing. We enjoyed the fire pit down next to the river. Bring your bikes for the trail!

Location was awesome. Views of the lake spectacular. Community the house was in was very quiet, we stayed in late April. Property had what we needed. There is a small hill to move things in and out of the house, not wheelchair accessible and anyone with mobility issues will need assistance. We would stay again.

Really enjoyed our stay at this quaint little cottage on Claytor Lake. It was very well equipped with everything you could need. The town was really close and Thee Draper Village was enjoyable. Make sure to visit Spinning Jenny Vineyard for the tasty wine and beautiful views. This was a girls trip but I will definitely plan another with the family. The host responded quickly to all my questions.
