Gorgeous lake home loved our visit

This beautiful home was the perfect place to stay for our large group of 10 people. Everybody had their plenty of space and there were plenty of bathrooms and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need. We had a blast taking the paddle boards and kayaks out on the lake and the dock is a quick walk down from the house and it has its own private boat house with life vests and chairs and other furniture and a wonderful place to hang out. it’s one of the favorite homes we stayed at and we hope to be back again soon. The host was lovely and communicated everything in a prompt manner and we can’t thank her enough.

Perfect for a family

My family with little kids and a dog stayed for lake fun and a racetrack weekend at VIR. We loved the house, location, property, and dock. It’s a quick drive to VIR. The house was very clean and well organized. It had lots of pots, cooking supplies, towels, shampoo, soap, etc… The house has an awesome yard and is in a nice little cove off the lake. We loved being able to easily walk from the dock to the house and the dock was comfortable to sit on. It was such a plus to be able to run back and forth on a gently sloping path. We had meals and coffee on the lovely covered deck with a fan going so we didn’t have to worry about mosquitoes. It’s an awesome place and we hope to visit again!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful lake house, and it was everything we hoped for and more! The space is incredibly spacious, the beds were super comfortable, the toy stash there made our kids feel like they got "two Christmases!". The house provided ample room for our family to gather and enjoy quality time together. It was spotless upon our arrival, which made us feel immediately at home.The kitchens had everything we needed to prepare our meals, the dock arrangement and view were beautiful. The fire pit was a lovely addition, perfect for roasting marshmallows and sharing stories under the stars. The views were absolutely breathtaking—pictures don’t do them justice!A special highlight of our stay was the owner, who was incredibly lovely and understanding. We had a lot of medical equipment to move for my mom, and she was accommodating with our need to drop things off earlier than check-in. Her kindness truly made a difference in our experience, and I can't thank her enough!She even went above and beyond to help us have a memorable and enjoyable tripOverall, we 100% recommend this lake house enough! It’s the ideal retreat for anyone looking to unwind, hang out with family, and make lasting memories. We can’t wait to come back!

Peaceful space

This home was exactly the location and size we needed when we had our daughter's wedding at our lakehouse also on Hyco Lake. It provided such a serene place for coffee in the morning on the deck overlooking the beautiful yard and lake before all the chaos of a weekend wedding ensues. Jenn was absolutely wonderful in her communication with me, thorough and timely. Although us as Parents of the Bride didn't spend much time there, what we did was very comfortable and restful. The other family that stayed here raved about how beautiful and spacious (and separate) the downstairs area was. As we were coming and going different times of the day, this was very helpful in our accommodations. So very happy this beautiful place was part of such a special weekend on Hyco Lake !
