Summary: The home is on a finger of Claytor Lake, which was quiet and out of the wind. It is eclectic with kitchen on bottom level and living room area on the second level. You can access both levels independently from the driveway. Overall, comfortable for our needs given the weather wasn't great but we were in town for graduation.

Summary: The owner was very accommodating and allowed us to check-in a little early. Our kids loved going out on the Kayak and have insisted "we have to come back to this exact house in the Summer". They enjoyed figuring out and listening to the record player and playing games. There is no wifi & cell service only worked upstairs which forced them to put electronics down and interact (which I appreciated). Its nice to kinda be secluded but everything in town was 15-20 min away which was great for us.

Summary: We enjoyed our long weekend at the Hokie House. Location is great - quick ride into Radford and easy trip to VT. House is cozy and rustic, we found it very relaxing. The Solo stove was nice to gather around at night, and we enjoyed the steady stream of white tail visitors coming by as we had wine on the porch. We will come back for sure.

Summary: We enjoyed this stay while visiting Tech and Radford for our high school seniors. The home was lived in but very cozy and the host was a great communicator. There were some things that could have been cleaner but the overall stay was wonderful and the view is stellar.

Summary: Spent a week at the Hokie House in July. Location was great. House on a cove with little to no boat traffic. Floated in the water, kayaked and jumped off the dock. Perfect and private water space. Steps down from the house are a little daunting but doable. House had everything we needed supplied. Towels and paper products included. Very private and secluded. Outside deck was great space. House is a little dated but did not detract from our stay. Would definitely recommend to others. Rented a pontoon boat from Mountain to lake marina (?). A wonderful addition to our vacation. They we’re very accommodating. Delivery and pickup right at out dock. Very enjoyable week.

Summary: Our niece graduated from Virginia Tech in December. There were plenty of beds and lots of space to spend time together and reconnect. With the cooler temperatures, we didn't have an opportunity to enjoy the outside space, but the living room and kitchen spaces offered plenty of space. The owner was very responsive and helpful in providing directions since there is a bit of a drive in the country to find this home. It would be a great place to stay for spring graduations.
