Perched on a small bluff overlooking Claytor Lake, Claytor Lake Hideaway invites you to unwind. Enjoy the serene lake views while relaxing or dining on the screened-in back porch. Take in the sunrise from the double-decker dock, and cozy up by night at the fire pit beside your home away from home.

About this property

Claytor Lake Hideaway

  • Tucked away in a quiet corner of the lake, Claytor Lake Hideaway sits on a small bluff overlooking the water. Early risers can enjoy the sunrise from the double-decker dock, while night owls will enjoy the cozy fire pit beside the house. Enjoy the lake views while relaxing or dining on the screened-in back porch. You’re only 10 minutes from the interstate, but, as the name implies, you’ll feel like you’re deep in the woods.

    Stay a week and explore the New River Valley - you're only 15 minutes to access on the 55 mile scenic New River Trail (biking and hiking trail), 15 minutes to the Draper Village (restaurant, tea room, eclectic shopping, bike rentals, massage therapy, agritourism), 25 minutes to Foster Falls State Park (horseback riding, kayak/canoe access) and 15 minutes to Claytor Lake State Park (beach area, motorized boat rentals, easy hiking trails).

    Virginia Tech is 35 min away, while Radford University is 25 min away.

    Some notes:
    - Parking: The driveway can accommodate four vehicles. If you have more, let us know and we can advise. Boat trailer parking will work if you don't have too many other cars. Drive is not suitable for turn-arounds with a trailer. Here's a video of the driveway (just copy the link & paste into browser): https://youtu.be/gJb2z-Lj8tU
    - Internet: Internet choices are limited due to the location. The house has a Verizon mobile jet pack hotspot. The cell signal varies day-to-day (ie, one day you might be able to stream a movie, and the next day not; speeds range from 10Mbps - 25+Mbps).
    - Accessibility: The house is very accessible for those with mobility impairments, the dock however, is not. As you’ll see in the pictures, the house sits atop a steep hill overlooking the lake. The dock is reached via a staircase with 65 steps (see the video in the Photos section to watch the descent/ascent...it's really not that bad!). :-)

Summer Week of Vacation

Listing description very accurate. Plenty of room for 2 adults, 3 kids and a large dog. We had an 18 ft bass boat and there were no issues, although it was tight to get it in and out of the driveway. Watch the supplied video from the host, it’s helpful. Having some info about nearby restaurants or fun things to do for a day out may be helpful. We found Winterfrost Farms Ride-a-Rescue Horse that was fun and was a good cause. Choose a trail ride length and no experience is needed. Only 30-35 minutes away. Only reason for the 4-stars is there were little maintenance things we had to take care of: light bulbs out and had to buy extra to replace them all, one trash bag for the week, and fyi the living room a/c freezes up and drips but that may have been due to the July humidity. Overall a great stay and we’d come back! Rave reviews from the kids!

House is a great option for out of town guests. It was well equipped with extra blankets, basic cooking supplies, a few kids toys. It worked well for our small family. Keep in mind, you are in the woods, so the normal things that accompany that are there. Don’t be surprised with a few bug friends, limited cell signal and a windy road back to the house. But these things didn’t bother us as we expected it.

Great location

The property was perfect for what we needed, in town to visit friends and Radford University. The place was pet friendly, a detail that I overlooked unfortunately, as I am not a pet friending vacation home person. But other than that, all was great, the deck and dock area was beautiful and peaceful. Owners were very responsive and helpful.

Claytor Lake Hideaway

The lake house was perfect for our Hokie’s graduation The house was cozy and clean. We spent so much time in the screened in porch because we were sheltered from the rain on a few days. We rented a pontoon and were able to use the dock. We had our lunch on the lower sundeck (lots of steps, but worth it). Sherry was quick to respond to all my questions and had many helpful suggestions. I only wish we had discovered the Lakehouse sooner! A great place for relaxing!

Great screened-in porch!

The home was very comfortable as were the beds! Great location w a wonderful screened-in porch. Water views and a double decker dock. The stairs down were easy but this out of shape girl had a hard time on the way back up. Great spot for fishing or just taking in the view. Definitely recommend for those wanting to unplug but have the comforts of home.

Will visit again !!!

We had a very pleasant stay in this secluded cabin . Sherry is very quick with responses & answered all our queries before & during the stay readily . The floating deck was our most favorite place . The view is very serene & beautiful .Only thing we wished better were the linens provided & definitely cleaner crockery. An addition of hot tub may be:-) The cabin just needs a little pick me up here & there . But its worth a place to come back again ! Thank you Sherry for all your help .

Claytor Lake Rental

We enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was as pictured and comfortable. The only item that was inaccurate was the amount of steps down to the dock. The picture shows what I would consider 2 flights of steps. In reality it was 4 to 5 flights that are not pictured. By the third day the effort of going down and up the steps discouraged us from fully utilizing the dock and outside seating area. The host was great with communicating an issue that was resolved prior to our arrival. As stated in the listing, the Wifi was very weak and we had almost no cell service until we were out on the road.

September vacation

This property had pros and cons and things we wished we had known beforehand. It took us over an hour to maneuver our small 16 ft boat into the drive. The coded box to retrieve the key had no instructions other than a code. A quick call to the owner resolved the issue. The furniture inside and out is well past their prime and not comfortable. The internet was non existent while we were there. The house was clean, just outdated. The kitchen was well stocked. There are 79 stairs to the dock. They have a hand rail and are very sturdy. The air conditioner in the living room and the fans in the bedroom did a good job in keeping the house cool during the day. The weather was beautiful!

Beyond expectations

Although we rented this property because my daughter was graduated college, I would most definitely return! The house was beautiful and comfortable! The porch and dock were my favorite places! Despite the number of stairs down to the dock, it was worth every step!!! I want to go back when it is warmer and I can rent a boat!!! The owners were wonderful to deal with!!

Nice quite lake front location

Really enjoyed dock and location on lake. Also like listing says convenient to others attraction and Walmart also 10 minutes away. Kitchen was very well stocked and plenty of towels. Beds were a little soft and was a little sad to only have one air conditioning unit in main area. Not bedrooms . Nights do usually cool off and host was super responsive and helpful. Would go back.

Summer getaway

My family and I had a wonderful time in early July. The water was great and the top deck was fantastic and the screened in porch was great although I don’t recall any bugs/insects. The bunks were great for kids and two full size bedrooms and the two bathrooms were sizable. Kitchen was well stocked with pans/pots etc. great stay
