Tj’s lake house was the perfect getaway for my family & I! We loved the pet friendly option and being right on the water was what we wanted. The neighborhood is so quiet and peaceful! 10/10 would stay there again!
We celebrated our VT Grad with a Fun and relaxing vacation. The kayak and paddle board was a big hit. The house has beautiful views of the lake. We are already planning our next visit.
We were looking for a relaxing weekend with family and the Lazy Bass was perfect for us. Great communication with the hosts, well stocked house and kitchen, great wifi, and quiet neighborhood. The big yellow house really stands out on the street and makes it easy to find and the fenced backyard is perfect if you bring a pet.

Great Experience
We took a sibling trip to the house with our kids and it was the perfect place for us. Kid friendly. The road was private so we were able to enjoy a few walks. The house was clean and cozy. And of course, we enjoyed the lake!
Perfect place for our get together. The house was a lot bigger than I expected. The view of the lake and fall foliage was amazing. The hot tub was great.
Thanks for the memories.
The perfect place for a family getaway! Far enough away, but close enough to amenities! Loved swimming right off the dock, having a nightly bonfire, and plenty of space to spread out within the house. The state park swimming beach was only a 25 minute drive away and was the perfect place to relax with the family! Had an amazing time and will definitely recommend to others!
Our stay at the Lazy bass was so quiet and peaceful and in a beautiful neighborhood. We felt very safe and had easy access to our trails. We cooked most of our meals and had plenty of supplies there to have a relaxing time; we even grilled outside while viewing the lake. The 2 king beds were very comfortable. Overall it was pleasant stay.
10 of us (ages 5-75) spent a wonderful 5 days at this nice home on Claytor Lake. We found it very clean and well stocked. The beds, including the sofa bed, were very comfortable. The kids alternated their fun time between the video consoles and the dock. The neighbors were spectacularly friendly and helpful. Overall, a great time.
My family and I came to this cute little place for a quick getaway! Loved that it had a fenced in side yard for pets to relax and play. The house was great, it had everything you need to cook and serve a meal and the neighborhood was very relaxing! Lake views were lovely!
The only weird thing was the water fixtures reversed, so hot was cold and cold was hot! Once you figured that out everything else was amazing! Thanks for a great stay!

Family Vacation
This is the second year at the Lazy Bass. We had such a wonderful time. The house is in such a great location and all the local neighbors are so friendly. The only issue we had was the gas grill did not work. Lindsey with Blue Ridge Escapes was wonderful and said she would alert the owners. Can’t wait for next year.
The location was quiet and there’s a spacious area for hanging out and playing games. Plenty of sleeping space! Our dogs loved the fenced in area too. A few trails around the area, easy to get to by car. Would love to visit in warmer season. Only downside was the stairs leading to the rooms, pretty steep so may be unsafe for some pets. Also sleeps 10 but only one shower. The hot water never ran out though! Overall a great experience and very responsive hosts.

It's a cute house. It was very roomie. We had a great stay. We had a little problems the first night but they fixed it right away. Thank you for your home. Great place.
Our family enjoyed our weekend here. Loved being right on the lake and how private the location is. Plenty of room for two families with teenagers. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub!
We enjoyed our stay, very relaxing. Owner was great to communicate with and very accommodating. Property was older but very clean and the hot tub and view was great!
The house was very comfortable and the hot tub was clean! The location on the lake is beautiful, but a bit out of the way. The fenced in area was perfect for our little dog! Be advised there are skylights in both the king size bedrooms.
Great weather, absolutely perfect getaway for what the family wanted. thanks so much.

The house is in a great location on the lake. Unfortunately the house itself was a huge disappointment for the many things that made it a substandard environment. It was so bad we left a day early rather than spend another night there.
We had a great stay at the 'Lazy Bass'. The property was everything you could ask for in a lake house and was excellent for a family with children. Would recommend to friends and family.
