Our family had a wonderful weekend stay at this cabin in July. This property has lovely views of the lake and surrounding mountains from a quiet cove. It has a long staircase down to its own private dock in the cove, which was something our sons enjoyed for fishing. We rented a pontoon boat from the nearby Mountain Island marina one day and we were able to pull up to the dock. The cabin itself is clean, spacious, and thoughtfully furnished with a variety of games, movies, and books, which our family enjoyed. The property owner, Trina, was friendly and responsive, and she made the check in and check out process easy for us. Overall our family drew closer to each other during our weekend stay at this cabin.

The property is nice and is in a great location on a cove of the lake. We were there for a Virginia Tech football game so we didn’t get to take advantage of all the cabin had to offer. It was clean and communication was easy. It is remote, but also not far from the interstate, so it was convenient to get to the grocery store, etc.

Five ~30 guys on a bachelor trip rented this property. We had a great time relaxing on the lake. The house was great, quiet, plenty big, and easy to find. We did utilize the dock on the second day which was great. No complaints, but do bring some coffee (they have the maker and filter) and shower products. The owners provided exceptional communication and were helpful. Would rent this again! Do note that there is one master bedroom and the rest of the "sleeping spots" are in the loft together. There are also couches on the main floor and basement for some separation. Overall had a great time and would *highly* recommend renting this spot!

Spent three nights with my 2 sons and their sons age 10. Great property and location. Boys loved the fishing from the deck and swimming and fishing at the state park. Very comfort accommodations for the 5 of us for a boys weekend! Played games and no one missed the internet! A good unplugged weekend. Gorgeous views from the deck!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time at Cabin at the Cove. The cabin was so spacious and comfortable and had everything that we could possibly need. We all felt very much at home. The lake access is great and the cove is so quiet and relaxing for floating and swimming. The host was extremely accommodating and responsive. Highly recommend!!

My husband and I met a daughter who lives in DC and another daughter and two grandchildren from Kentucky for several days at the cabin. We hiked at the closeby rails to trails hiking trail, hiked and the kids even got in the water at the state park and we got kayaks delivered to cabin's dock for a day of kayaking. We used the grill for dinner and the kids played corn hole on the porch and we played games and worked puzzles at night. We watched some football too. It was perfect and we'd love to come back.

The home was beautiful and well appointed as well as clean. The only issue we had was the 87 steps down to the dock, which was difficult for my veteran husband who has replaced joints. It was also hard to swim because the ladder would not stay attached to the dock, so that you could not get out with any ease. I would absolutely recommend for a beautiful place to relax but if your expectation is to be on the water, this may not be the house for you.

Check in was a breeze and was able to find property very easily with owner’s directions. The house was very clean and decorated very tastefully. We enjoyed the peace and quiet on the lovely wrap around deck. Swam in the cove quite a bit, the steps will definitely give you a workout. We rented a pontoon boat from Mountain2Island which I would highly recommend. It’s a beautiful lake and will likely visit again.

So happy to have found this property! Clean and well appointed, everything we needed for our family of 4. Especially enjoyed the views off the decks and water access to a nearly private cove on Claytor. Trina was very helpful in advance of our visit, providing great directions to the house and referring us to a nearby marina for kayak rental. The folks at Mountain2Island were awesome, delivering 2 kayaks for our teens. We were there during the week, so very little boat traffic and the kids enjoyed being out on the water. Also good fishing and swimming off the property's dock. Location is also a plus- very quiet and private but close to town for shopping and beach access. We also enjoyed the short drive into Pulaski to pick up a River Turtles game on our last night. Will definitely return to Cabin on the Cove when we can!

We had such a wonderful experience! The house was so nice, clean and decorated so cute! We spent Easter weekend and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook our Easter dinner. Trina was always available and when the power went out unexpectedly, she immediately had the power company out to get it going again. (Transformer-1, squirrel-0). I highly recommend this house and we plan to be back and get a boat rental next time!

Not too close to the water that motors whip by and wake you up at dawn, but close enough to appreciate the peacefulness of the water. Next time we will bring our kayaks and be able to access the lake from the dock below. (Although there are lots of stairs - they are very well maintained.) The cabin is exactly as depicted which made leaving the only disappointment of the stay. Open spaces, well appointed and the only thing we needed to bring was food. Be sure to pay attention to the directions you are provided to access it, as GPS will NOT get you there. Verizon coverages spotty, AT&T slightly better but really with a place like this, you’ll be thankful if work can’t reach you and needs to leave a message. Enjoy this beautiful peace just off the River. Thank you for sharing this delightful get a way. We hope to enjoy this space at least once each season.

The cabin was perfect for our weekend getaway to ring in the new year. Very close to Claytor Lake State Park and tons of other hiking options as well. We cannot wait to come back in the summer to enjoy a day out on the lake.

My family stayed at this lovely cabin for 4 days between Christmas and New Year's. We LOVED it! I recommend it to anyone! It is spacious and open yet cozy, and very clean, and well-maintained. You feel right at home (better than home, actually!). We were even delighted to have snow on the ground for that extra touch of a mountain cabin getaway. Wildlife was everywhere and there was plenty of birdwatching while sitting on the couch relaxing.The views were phenomenal. Mountains, lake, and that real cabin feel. It is down a private road on the cove, and the peace and quiet were just what we needed.The amenities were top-notch! They were more than we could have imagined! A FULL kitchen with everything you need - cookware, dishes, appliances - everything! We had THREE FLOORS to spread out! The upstairs is open and spacious with an amazing view out to the lake. It is bright and airy, with PLENTY of places to sleep. There is a bathroom upstairs along with games and books.The middle floor has the kitchen, living room, master bedroom and bathroom (this place just keeps going!) and a main bathroom. The master bedroom is incredibly cozy with the pine woodwork throughout. The bottom floor walks out to the lower deck (yes, there are two wrap-around decks!) and has a laundry room, bathroom, tv, couch, and game table (we loved playing air hockey).It was quiet and spectacular! All three of our kids (5, 8, 13) had endless fun. We enjoyed driving around the area and hiked nearby Claytor Lake State Park which was fantastic.We visited in the dead of winter and were beyond impressed. I can imagine being here in the summer is amazing!

I was pleasantly surprised with our visit! The pictures truly do not do it justice. Great getaway with the family. Plenty of games to play and activities at the house. Evening foosball tournaments are a must and I found a passion for checkers again. Removed, but not so far away that we didn't have cell service and internet. Highly recommend for a great stay.

The Cabin at the Cove was a perfect location for our family of 6 adults! It felt extremely comfortable and with 3 full and a half baths, it provided great space for everyone to get ready for outings. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes and appliances to make meal preparation easy. The view of the lake is beautiful, even though it rained most of the time we were there. The covered porch and rocking chairs provided a relaxing place to listen to the rain fall or just to read a book! There is a steep stairway from the deck down to the water's edge, but we loved having the opportunity to get extra exercise walking up and down. You feel secluded but not far from the interstate...only about a 10 min drive through beautiful countryside. I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a relaxing stay!

We rented Cabin at the Cove for a week while participating in the Bike Virginia tour. It is a lovely cabin in a quiet, pristine spot, making it a welcome place to relax at the end of a hard day of riding. It can easily accommodate 3 couples (plus kids, if necessary), with each having private space and a private bathroom. It had all the amenities we were looking for in a vacation home. The owners were responsive and gracious. If we were ever in this location again, this cabin would definitely be our first choice.
