Wonderful!

Cabin at the Cove was amazing! We loved our stay and not far from necessities either! Cabin was beautiful and clean, we will definitely go again when it's warmer as it was a little cold this time of year. Go Hokies!

Great place and great owner

Really great place to stay. Lake views after leaves fall from trees is amazing. The main bedroom and loft bedrooms are super cozy and nice. The owner was great to deal with and very engaged in the rental process. Would definitely rent again!

Great Fall Break location

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. 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.

Lovely Cabin

Great get away. Convenient to VT but away from the crowds. Great fun catching up with our Hokie on Family Weekend!

Relaxing

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.

Bday get-a-way

We decided to rent a cabin as a spur of the moment vacation for our son's birthday. This was the only rental available for the dates we needed. It was just meant to be because it was perfect!!! Great cabin, great owners & great time!!!

Cabin on the Cove

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!

Great weekend

This is a beautiful cabin! It was a great weekend with my friends! Very well maintained and by far best experience with the property owners I’ve ever had!

The Best!

Second stay at the cabin and it was just as good or better than the first! You simply can't find a better host or place to stay. Highly recommended!

Absolutely wonderful!

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!

A real mountain cabin experience - views, privacy, and all the amenities you need!

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!

Just right

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.

We enjoyed a beautiful fall weekend overlooking Claytor Lake in this cozy, yet spacious, cabin. It was a great location to stay in to ride the New River Bike Trail out of Draper. Cabin had everything a family would need for a weekend getaway. We also appreciated a local boat delivery service, Mountain 2 Island, that the host recommended. We had a canoe tied up waiting for us upon arrival. Host is very welcoming and thoughtful!

My husband and I met some family here for a weekend getaway as it was roughly half way from where we both lived. What a great cabin! It has everything you need for a getaway with good sleeping arrangements for families. Kitchen was not lacking anything. The porch and views from both levels were beautiful- we happened to go when the leaves had changed and the views were fantastic. Even though we were rained out over the weekend, there were lots of comfy seats, toys, games, magazines and TVs/DVDs for entertainment .Hosts were very communicative, the cabin was very clean, and they even left us a welcome bottle of wine. Thank you for a great weekend away making lots of memories together.

Beautiful location

We enjoyed our stay at the Cabin in the Cove with its beautiful location on Claytor Lake. The house was well appointed and had everything we needed. Thank you for the welcoming bottle of wine!

Relaxing stay

We loved our time at the Cabin at the Cove. The house has everything we needed and the views were amazing. We rented kayaks and were out on the lake every day from the house’s private dock. Trina was helpful and responsive. We already are planning for when we can come back again!

As advertised

We’ve never had a better experience with our hosts. They were available and accommodating every step of the way. The location, the cottage, and the privacy made for a unique lakeside break. We highly recommend this property.

Great peaceful cabin

Had a wonderful weekend with the family at cabin at the cove. Rented a boat one day and just floated right from our dock another day. So peaceful! Trina was very kind and accommodating

Perfect Retreat: Home Away from Home

The cabin was very clean, cutely decorated, nicely located on the lake and within a short distance of the state park. Its charm made us feel like home. We loved the fact that we could rent watercraft from the marina and enjoy the lake, though the water had receded (only because of cautions related to the hurricane) making the dock access an issue. We easily headed to the marina and kayaked for half the day and then spent time at the beach at Claytor Lake State Park. This cabin is really homey and just what we needed for a relaxing get away!

Fabulous Get Away

Exceptional experience at a wonderfully situated property. Can't say enough good things. Great amenities, comfortable, clean and Trina was warm and responsive. We spent time hiking, riding the New River trail and exploring the area. Highly recommend!

Perfect couples weekend!

We loved our weekend at the Cabin at the Cove. The cabin was just the right size for the four of us. There is plenty of space to be together and also have great conversations on the decks or on the comfy furniture. The views are wonderful and are visible from every angle. Highly recommended!

Lake vacation

A Perfect Getaway

Cabin at the Cove is a beautiful property! It was secluded, and had great access to the lake. The host was wonderful and was available for questions about the cabin and the area. The cabin was spotless and had many special touches, (games, corn hole, mini pool table and dark board.) that we enjoyed. I highly recommend kayak/boat rentals from Mountain 2 Island. They delivered and picked up - doesn't get much easier. I would highly recommend this wonderful Cabin for relaxation and fun.
