Great House, Great Location

A perfect spot on a quiet part of Claytor Lake; the house easily accommodated three adults, mixing a charming location with modern-day comforts like a hot tub and Wi-Fi.

Excellent stay!

We had a great time at this comfortable, well-equipped house right on Claytor Lake. The hot tub area was excellent and provided lots of fun in post-graduation rainy weather, and the many decks and eating areas really added to the coziness and convenience. Would definitely recommend this place for a relaxing getaway.

Cozy cottage in a serene setting

My family had a beautiful long weekend at Claytor Lake. Green Cape Cottage is clean, comfortable and has everything you will need for a home away from home. We loved being on the water and close to the state parks and hiking trails. We will definitely be back!

Spring Break

We had a wonderful stay. A quick 3 night stay after picking up our daughter at Virginia Tech. It was the perfect size for my family of 5. Even though the lake water was cold, it didn’t stop us from having our cold plunge or getting the kayak out. The hot tub easily took the chill away. The house had a wonderful view of the lake. It was very clean and the beds were quite comfortable. We would highly recommend staying here.

Stay review

Property manager was great to work with. Great secluded cabin for a relaxing getaway. Listing was accurate. Found someone else’s hair in the shower and ants in the living room or I would have rated cleanliness 5 stars.

VCOM graduation

We had a wonderful weekend celebrating our daughter's graduation from VCOM. We rented both Claytor Escape and Green Cape Cottage. We enjoyed the kayak, paddle boards and swimming off the dock. The house was clean and well-stocked. Check in was easy and the host was very responsive. And - the front porch of Claytor Escape is wonderful!

Tucked-away paradise

Perfect for us - quaint neighborhood setting on a private part of the lake. Swam off the dock a lot. Paddled down by the sandbar, which hosts beavers and otters and birds. Watched the osprey dive for fish in the lake. Checked out the outcroppings on the far bank. Took evening walks along the lakeside down the private lane. Serene, beautiful, fun stuff. Nice lake views from the house - upstairs and down. Everything was neat and clean and well-appointed. Host was available and helpful and friendly.

Peaceful Lake Cottage

Recommended. Cute, well appointed cottage lake front with small swimming dock. Located in a remote and private enclave. Swimming was great. Good fishing. Nice lake views and lots of peace and quiet. Huge private hot tub a plus. The host could not have been nicer.

Great location and adorable cottage

My family spent 6 days at the cottage. Chris was very responsive as we had several questions throughout the planning process. He did everything to make our stay comfortable. The location of the cottage was perfect and the neighbors are friendly and very welcoming. The cottage was very clean, adorably decorated and the beds being extremely comfortable was a plus. It was the perfect getaway to unplug and enjoy time with family. I highly recommend a trip to Green Cottage!

Cozy lake cottage

Chris is a fantastic host who quickly replies and offers things before you can even ask. The house was spotlessly clean, as described and all furniture was super comfy and nice. Perfect place to relax, and enjoy the views, fire pit, and hot tub- then hit repeat for days! If you like dogs, be sure to meet sweet Maggie and Molly that live down the street. I have already recommended this cottage to friends. Thanks Chris for working with us on our arrival time and out countless questions.

Wonderful house with amazing views

We had a wonderful time at Green Cape Cottage. The views are amazing, the house is comfy and well stocked. The hot tub is one of the most therapeutic I have experienced. My only suggestion is to update the cookware with stainless steel. The pots and pans are Teflon and are very scratched up, which makes them a health hazard. Teflon is a forever chemical and scratched pans should never be used because you end up ingesting the Teflon and it never leaves your system. We brought our own pan because we have experienced the same thing at other rentals.

Unique Lakefront Escape

If you are looking to getaway and take that relaxing deep breathe, this is a great place to do it. Amazing lakefront views, easy water access to kayak, fish, sit and read, with a peaceful atmosphere. Our family has enjoyed other Claytor Lake rentals finding some favorite spots we know are worth the money, this one just got added to our list! First class owners that communicate quickly and are driven to making your experience not good but excellent. We asked if there was a Keurig for coffee, there was not, BUT one was there when we arrived. The property was immaculate, Hot tub clean, supplied with more than enough toilet paper/paper towels, satellite tv for rainy days, and a few snacks! This is a simple pleasure kind of place off the beaten path. Thanks to Chris the owner for providing an awesome accommodation with exceptional service so we could make priceless memories with those we love.

Relaxing lakeside vacation

Just returned from a very nice, relaxing vacation at this charming lakeside cottage. The cottage is situated in a beautiful waterfront location, well off the beaten path. The host was very communicative, and made sure we had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Because we were there off season, we were not able to take advantage of many of the lake activities, but took advantage of the wonderful hot tub. We will definitely consider a return stay in the summertime months. A couple things to be aware of if you are planning a stay here, the entrance to the home requires you to climb 30+ stairs to reach the front porch. This wasn’t an issue for us but may be for anyone with mobility limitations. Also, because the house is situated in a mostly wooded area, insects are aplenty. We had a few spiders, wasps, flys & ladybugs join us during our stay. No problem for us, but something to expect. Finally, there was no cable or satellite tv for “live” tv options, but the smart TV had several streaming apps for use. Overall we had a very pleasant experience and hope to visit again!

Pros and Cons

Overall it was a great weekend getaway. Everything was very clean and had such a beautiful view. The only thing we didn’t like was that there was a bee issue. Of course we enjoyed the hot tub at night but when we tried during the day, the bees surrounded us! Couldn’t enjoy the hot tub during the day. We also interestingly found about 7 ladybugs inside the house when we arrived. Don’t get me wrong, I’d much rather it be ladybugs than any other insect! But we had to keep letting them back outside. Again, overall, had a great time and enjoyed the view. Very quiet and relaxing area.
