We enjoyed our stay. We were looking for a quiet getaway and this little space was great for the two of us. It was awesome to have the use of the kayaks. The only reason for the 4 stars was the issue of pet hair that we noticed on the floors.

Storm rolled in during the night prior to stay, knocking everything out...had to wait it out at motel for a couple of nights. Property manager was very supportive & helpful during the whole process. Once the power came back on, we were finally able to relax, unwind & enjoy the last couple of days at the bungalow by the lake.

The house is lovely with direct views of the water. The owners have obviously put in alot of time making it comfortable. We cooked and the kitchen had pots/pans enought to make meals. It is small, just the right size for a couple, but the bed was comfortable, and everything was clean and well-decorated. As others have said, there isn't a walkway up to the house, but as long as you don't have any mobility issues, it is really fine. We had our VT son with us for a weekend; it was a night away for him, and gave us good low key together time. The cabin Is a solid 45 min drive to campus, but we had planned to do Claytor Lake Park and such versus being in Blacksburg. Would stay here again.

Listing was accurate. Cottage had nice furnishings and appliances. Very clean! The walk uphill without a walkway to enter the property may be challenging for some, but we found it quite manageable. Plan for limited storage. Overall a great rental. Be sure to plan a meal at Draper Mercantile.

The only downfall to this place is that there's no walk way up to the house which makes it hard to get up the hill with slick grass and roots hidden in the grass. Also the water pressure was less than desirable. However the area is beautiful and the house is immaculate. The bed was very cozy. The front of the house is all windows and faces the lake which meant you always have a great view. Eating on the deck overlooking the lake was the highlight of our evenings. We are already planning another visit!
