The serenity house has so many fun amenities for families, including 4arcade games, a wonderful 2 level dock, kayaks and a nice hot tub overlooking the lake. The house had plenty of hot water for our six guests and was very clean and free of bugs The rental company was easy to work with, And responsive to questions while we were there. neighbors were kind and helpful. We we will always look back with good, funny memories on our time here.

Overall the property meet expectations. The home was clean and well put together. Hot tub was clean and fully functional. Fishing was good and easy with a spacious dock. The driveway is steep with limited turn around space but other than that no issues.

Very dated. All of the deck furniture was broken and cushions were ripped. For a property on the lake that promotes outdoor activities this was very disappointing. Inside was dated but clean. Hot tub was filthy and I had to call the property management to come put chemicals in it. It was not safe to enter the whole stay. Very dangerous. Also the driveway is extremely steep. One car maximum. Beds were comfortable. Good thing we were really only there to sleep.

Serenity House worked well for our family during VT's spring 2024 graduation. The property is located on a quiet, no wake zone, knob of Claytor Lake. It was the perfect place for fishing and swimming. The home was appropriately advertised. Both the home and decking are older but clean and tidy. The directions were a bit misleading, Waze actually got us there easily. There should be more description of the very small road leading in, the steepness of the driveway and tiny turnaround areas. It's a good thing we didn't bring our pickup trucks - they wouldn't have made the turnarounds or fit in the driveway. Overall - we enjoyed our stay at Serenity House!

We enjoyed our stay here. Nice big kitchen area, TVs in every room which the kids enjoyed. Hot tub was in a great spot where you could look out over the lake while we stayed warm in the 40degree weather :) The driveway is quite steep and short so keep that in mind as you approach it for the first time.

My daughter attended Virginia Tech and we have visited many many times and stayed in Blacksburg. We decided to stay just outside and came across this listing on Claytor Lake. The house was perfect for 6 guests. The hot tub was clean and worked great. The location was very convenient to the highway and VT. Great value. Water pressure was a little low and the driveway was very difficult to maneuver. Recommend modifying listing to instruct guests of one way road to house and to use the turn around at the end of the road.

We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean, kitchen was well-stocked, and the hot tub and docks were enjoyable. The driveway is a bit steep and narrow. However, it is managable. I would stay here again, for sure!
