Beautiful lakefront home

We stayed in Draper with adult children to visit relatives in Virginia for 7 days. This home is not only beautiful inside and out, it has everything we needed to feel comfortable and at home. Three and one half baths, large kitchen with all cooking and dining items to use, grill, outdoor pizza oven (big hit for us!), lots of outdoor seating, two kayaks, plenty of family games and reading materials. Pool table , several TVs, movie room with projector and large DVD library. The home was also nicely decorated and CLEAN. The owner was so quick to respond to any messages we sent, not that there were any issues but just some questions and clarifications. Would love to return next time we visit our Virginia family ❤️

Wonderful Getaway for the Family!

The house was a wonderful stay for my daughter's graduation from VT. A beautiful location on the lake, and not too far from Blacksburg. It was clean and very well appointed, and the owners very responsive. Would return!

Fantastic, beautiful house

I rented this house for the weekend of my son's graduation from Radford. All of our family and friends raved about how awesome the house is.. my son said it looks like Kevin Costner's house on Yellowstone. A great plus is that the house is dog friendly, my Chihuahua loved it too. Thanks for being a great host.

Second Stay

We have a yearly trip to commemorate our mom. This is our second stay. The property is lovely. There's really one master bedroom, two kids rooms, a game room with a futon, and a basement room with no windows. It works fine for us. The kitchen is fully stocked. There was some weird trash, the desk in the game room was full of candy and the fireplace was full of old voided checks. My sister said there was white pet fur on the master bed. Regardless, we had a wonderful time. The proximity to the Draper Mercantile was perfect.

Great family home

My husband and I spent Thanksgiving at this house with daughter, son in law and 3 grandchildren. The house is spacious and comfortable. We spent time inside and out. Grandkids loved the outdoor volleyball court and indoor shuffleboard. They also enjoyed the media room. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need for meal preparation.

Relaxing and well provisioned

This home is beautiful and extremely comfortable. We appreciated all of the TVs, the billiards room, and the very well appointed kitchen. We like to cook and bake, so it was wonderful to have all of the necessary pots pans and utensils on hand. We are not local to the area, so we were not aware of the drought or the status of the lake in front of the property. Sort of a downer upon arrival in that we thought we would be on the water. We enjoyed the dock except our dogs would not stay out of the mud and we had to bathe them. We are hoping to return next year for a longer stay!

Exceeded Expectations

We could not have been happier. After hastily departing from another location due to an infestation of bugs discovered in the bed sheets, we found this location and the owner was happy to oblige a same-day check in. The cabin was spotless, the views were amazing, and we can't wait to go back next year!

Fantastic Stay

Just returned from a week-long family vacation at this beautiful property on Claytor Lake in Draper, VA. The large home had everything needed and was comfortably appointed with many extras to include pool table, shuffleboard table, canoe, kayak, movie room and more. We enjoyed exploring the area including Drapers Mercantile just down the road, rented a ski boat at Claytor Lake State Park, and Ziplining near Floyd, VA. Would definitely recommend and hope to return in the future.

Beautiful serene property

Such a peaceful place! From coffee on the deck overlooking the lake, to a family bbq with games, to sitting around the fire with a glass of wine, we truly enjoyed our stay! Even our pup had a great time catching frisbees on the huge lawn and checking out the water! Would definitely recommend and would stay here again in the future! The upstairs bedrooms have only twin beds with very high mattresses so really only good for children, wouldn’t recommend for very small children or elderly.

Huge Lakeside Cabin!

We were absolutely thrilled with this no frills huge cabin sitting on a beautiful lot right on the Claytor Lake. We hiked the New River Trail (5 minutes to the Draper lot), paddled the lake, enjoyed a movie night in the downstairs theater room, played pool in the great room and all had plenty of office space to get some work done as well (although the internet was a bit slow). Absolutely an amazing place averaging 10 deer each night watching us eat dinner. Fantastic and relaxing vacation!
