About this property

Waterfront Cottage with Private Dock on Claytor Lake. Pet Friendly!

  • Tranquil stone cottage with private dock on the shore of Claytor Lake, where modern updates blend with historic charm. Pet Friendly! Located just 2 miles from the New River bike trail, close to Virginia Tech and Radford, this is the perfect location to enjoy all the Claytor Lake area offers.

    With its own private dock for your use, Claytor Lake becomes your playground, offering fishing, kayaking, swimming and beautiful views right outside your front door. Enjoy your coffee on the front deck, watching the sunrise chase away the morning fog. In the evening, settle down at the lakeside fire pit to relax and enjoy the sunset as it tucks in behind the rolling hills.

    The interior has been tastefully updated with LED lighting, air conditioning in each room and newer full-size appliances in the kitchen, plus a charcoal BBQ grill area and coffee station for your morning joe.

    Located just 2 miles from the nearest New River Bike Trail access point, the cottage is a perfect base-camp for a day of biking along the many tunnels and scenic bridges of the the 57 mile-long rail trail.

    Stay with us for Virginia Tech home football games or Radford events too...we're just a short drive along the expressway to either campus.

    We look forward to hosting you and your group!

Really enjoyed our stay at this quaint little cottage on Claytor Lake. It was very well equipped with everything you could need. The town was really close and Thee Draper Village was enjoyable. Make sure to visit Spinning Jenny Vineyard for the tasty wine and beautiful views. This was a girls trip but I will definitely plan another with the family. The host responded quickly to all my questions.

Cozy feeling to the cabin..beautiful, peaceful setting on the lake. We saw deer walking through the yard! So amazing! Will definitely return for another stay. We hosted a family cookout for about 12 people, and one family member requested information and interest about property for his own famiky getaway. The hist was always prompt about answering all questions we had. Really enjoyed our stay

The cabin is on a beautiful, peaceful lake near the small town of Draper. In Draper, there is a wonderful bike/ walking path and people can rent bikes. We walked the trail and mostly enjoyed the cottage with our friends, taking turns cooking in a well stocked kitchen. There is a really nice deck overlooking the lake and a screened in porch on the side of the house. A couple homes had some neighbors at home, but I think a lot of the homes around the lake might be used for vacation homes. The home was pet friendly and the owners of the cottage have some kayaks available for their guests.
