Birthday Bash

It was very nice the only thing is there needs to be more lights. It's really dark out there and more motion lights would be great. Maybe a sign that says 6143 Cabin down the hill.

Our family of five loved our stay at the cabin! Exactly as described online. Cabin had all things needed for fun on the lake, even had a s’mores bar that the kids loved!

Perfect Stay

This cabin in the lake is a gem. It’s everything you need and super well equipped and organized. The owner was very responsive. It’s a beauty on the lake with a private dock, a beautiful back porch overlooking the lake, a picnic/grill area with table and chairs also overlooking the lake. It was 25 minutes from Tech, so very convenient.

Just What The Dr. Prescribed

Quaint, quiet, and cozy cabin nestled right on Claytor Lake. The cabin was clean and just as described and pictured. Husband and I were having a get-a-way weekend and it was perfect. Had one rolling storm come through and it was wonderful to listen to the rain hitting the metal roof. Love that this owner allows access to canoes, kayaks and watershed. My hubby and I went in the lake each day; he fished and I just enjoyed the peace and quiet. Saw all kinds of wildlife during our time on the water to include some turkeys. Dwayne was a great host and made contact on our first night to see if there was anything we needed and gave us his number if we needed to reach out. Excellent host! All in all it’s exactly what we needed this weekend.

Lovely getaway

My friend and I had a very nice stay at this cabin. It is very close to Clayton Lake state park, Pulaski and Draper. It is well appointed and the back porch view is wonderful. My only suggestions are: 1. People need to be aware that there are a lot of steps leading down to the house, then when you get inside there is a pretty steep staircase leading down to the living area. I would also suggest instructions on the heating and air system. All in all I would recommend staying here if you don't mind stairs.

Such a Cozy Cabin!

We loved our long weekend here! The owners were very friendly and responsive. The property has everything you need and more. The biggest plus is its coziness. Between the open room and the great porch with pretty views of the lake, I finished a whole book. Kind of don't want to leave too good of a review because I want to keep it a secret! We WILL be back!

Cozy Mountain House for VT Football

Wonderful stay with friends for a VT Football weekend. Cabin was very cozy, and the porch was wonderful for sipping coffee in the morning or wine at night. We would recommend for any getaway! Just a heads (if traveling with children), the bedroom ceiling is not fully closed off to the rest of the house.

cabin

The stay here was wonderful. There was a lot of communication ahead to tell us they were expecting us. There was communication after arrival to see if we needed anything. Honestly I have never felt more cared about in any location that I stayed. It was a bonus to have paddle boats and extra water gear on sight that we could enjoy. The one thing is there were a lot of steps. We didn't mind that at all as we were on the side of the hill. My husband booked this so it may have already been in the listing. The cabin was cozy and we loved the stay.

A relaxing cabin with a little workout

My brother and I stayed here for a few days in the spring as a nice break from work and to get in some fishing. The cabin is equipped with everything you need whether it be a short or long stay. There are plenty of pots, pans, and cooking utensils. You have a full kitchen at your disposal with a good size dining table and there is also a washer/dryer if you need them. There is plenty to do in the area, but there is also a TV with satellite service and a bunch of board games for rainy days. The property has a nice grill and a couple fire pits for roasting marshmallows with the family. There is also a wrap around deck with enough seating for the whole family to relax on. The only negative was that there are a lot of stairs to get down to the water, over 100 from the parking spot. Thankfully my brother and I looked at it as a way to get a decent workout in as we had to carry our 100lb+ kayaks down all the stairs plus all our fishing gear. The hosts are very responsive and checked in a few times to make sure our stay was great!
