Holiday rentals with a kayak in Claytor Lake

We've rented numerous vacation homes, and Jill's is an absolute stand-out! Every detail has been thought of in the wonderful kitchen, the beautiful bedrooms, the living spaces and all of the indoor and outdoor recreation for all ages. We stayed there for Va Tech graduation and wish we'd had more time at the house to enjoy everything. The screened porches are amazing. We spent lots of time out there, watching wildlife around the lake, listening to birds, playing games, and even enjoying a rainstorm. Highly recommend!

Beautiful home with excellent views of the lake and valley--it was especially lovely as the leaves were turning. Also, the place has dark skies for star-gazing on a clear night. All rooms were clean and as-presented in the photos and description. Jeff sent some very helpful info and photos to help us drive in to the house--especially helpful since the last ~1 mile is on a private, relatively narrow road. Also, my Android Maps app on my phone was clearly sending me to the wrong location (i.e., not to the lake), so we relied on my spouse's I-Phone--which brought us right in. (Interestingly, Google Maps on my laptop had showed the correct location, but Google navigation on my phone was pointing elsewhere.) Recommend you pre-check your nav feature in advance of your arrival. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a serene location with great views and lake access.

We arrived a bit early; when we got there, Dave and Susan were doing garden works and stopped what they were doing and greeted us with big warm smiles and hand shakes. Right away, we felt this is home. Dave and Susan introduced their property, garden, trail, chickens and Ruby (a young curious dog) to us. They even offered some fresh garden greens for our dinner. Then, we checked in the house and it was just so amazing. The house is very clean, nice furniture, even the kitchen cookwares are good qualities stuff. We love the design of the house, especially the bathroom. The house is full of details. We enjoyed outdoor activities. We went down the river fishing and walking on the trail. We even spotted some wild animals! After all, this is the best Airbnb experience we have so far!!

We had such a wonderful time! The home was clean and beautiful, plenty to do there at the home and in the surrounding areas. Even with the many homes on the street, it felt private and relaxing the entire weekend. The host, Joe, was also so friendly! He gave us a tour when we got there, was extremely helpful, and he even helped us start our fire in the fire pit when he saw we were struggling. Wonderful place, great hospitality, would absolutely book this place again! Thank you Joe!

Charming and secluded cabin with beautiful views! Was comfortable and cozy. Lindsay was so helpful and responsive. We really enjoyed our weekend stay!

We had a great time. The home is beautiful and the view of the lake is awesome. Luis was very accommodating and communicative with us while we were there. He is a great host and I would highly recommend renting from him!! We had a fun time celebrating our son’s graduation from Virginia Tech!!

We found Ann's place to be very comfortable with lots of room indoors and out. She has provided so many amenities, particularly the stocked kitchen. I always pack a bag of extras (paper towels, wraps, spices, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc) because so many places are skimpy on that stuff. I'll know next time not to bring a thing! We all enjoyed playing the board games and yard games provided. The hot tub was delightful after the little ones went to bed. The setting is truly gorgeous with views of farms and mountains in the distance. The sunsets were outstanding, as were the stars at night. We were able to drive for nearby hiking and exploring the area towns.

We met Debby & Dan. They are both wonderful, warm people. They are the kind of people that could become friends if we lived nearby. I'm sure they would do whatever they could to make anyone's stay the best it could be. We appreciated the fruit and baked goods that greated us on the table in the entryway. The coffee maker with coffee pods and teabags are a big plus. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Ed & Denise

We had a fun time at Chris’ lake house. It was very clean, quiet, and had all the amenities as described. Hot tub (with its private surround) was enjoyable during the winter temps. Ample kitchen supplies since there aren’t any restaurants around. Make sure to get groceries beforehand!

Thank-you Frank for sharing your New River get away house with us. We loved being able to drive back and forth to our nearby home in order to care for our other fur kiddos. I appreciate you being flexible to allowing us to bring Buddy last minute too. We didn't mind the train noise at all. Beautiful view on the front porch of the river, we really enjoyed how peaceful the place is.

Absolutely beautiful location! Perfect home for our nephews college graduation. We spent most of the days outside on the deck overlooking the peaceful lake. The entire home was comfortable and welcoming. We especially liked the record player in the living room. Would love to visit this home in the fall to see the foliage. Thank you for sharing your piece of heaven with us on our special weekend.

Bob and Candy were awesome hosts! Quick to respond with any questions, and are very friendly. One of the best hosts we have ever encountered. The place is beautiful and recommended to other guests. They have equipped the place with anything you would need. Would definitely return. 10/10

We stayed here while we waited for our house to close. This was an awesome choice. If you are looking for peace and a feeling of being right at home this is it! Tommy is an extremely gracious host, super responsive to any inquiries and has loads of information on the area and things to do- places to go. You will love his place. It’s a tucked away gem, and there are many good books if you just want to hang out. It’s a very nice place!

We loved staying.. wish we could have stayed longer! Everything was cozy and clean and homey!

Beautiful cabin with a beautiful lake! Enjoyed my stay one immensely!! Made the best memories here! Owners are kinda amazing people! So sweet in offering their, asparagus, ping pong table, puzzles, and flower blooms in the garden for picking! 10/10 recommend. Oh and they have all the boats and kayaking gear you need for lake rides 👍

We love staying at Jeremy's! The space is well-organized so it feels so much bigger than it is. I especially love the kitchen set up with a giant island for cooking. The gardens, stream, firepit and location are all beautiful.

Great place to stay. Dog friendly and clean. Super cute and cozy. Private and quiet. It was perfect and would recommend and would stay again.

Very nice place, quiet and nice to be able to walk down to the water. Thanks

Lovely peaceful stay!
