About this property

Fire Pit & Floating Dock! Claytor Lake Hideout

Dock w/ Swim Platform | Kayak, Swim & Fish On-Site | Trailer Parking

Lake days start the moment you step onto the waterfront deck at 'Gary’s Hideout.' This Claytor Lake escape is built for sunny afternoons, diving off the private dock, and launching kayaks into the water. When you aren't busy checking out nearby state parks or local shops, gather the family for dinner on the screened porch. Cap off the night with s'mores at the waterfront fire pit under a clear canopy of stars.

The price for the size of the place and the number of people that could stay was high. We did have a dog so it bumped it up 50 a night. The bathroom is small. The property was clean but was lived in and dingy. It was nice being on the lake, although the water was murky from storms. The owner was nice and accommodating.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for noting how accommodating we were during check-in. Our rates reflect the home's amenities, lakefront location, occupancy, and comparable properties in the area, and we'd like to clarify that the pet fee is a one-time charge for the stay, not a nightly fee. We were glad to hear you found the property clean, and we'll certainly review your comments about the space feeling lived in to see if anything needs additional attention. The bathroom's compact size is shown in our listing photos, and while smaller, it's fully functional. We try to be as transparent as possible about the property's size, layout, and rates so guests can review these details before booking, and we appreciate you staying with us.

The place was very clean and convenient. We had a mishap with VRBO not sending check-in/check-out procedures. However, Jennifer was able to contact us and help us out. We loved using the dock. The house was cool and comfortable. I brought my kayak and explored. The neighbor's small dogs escaped and tried to instigate a fight with my dog. However, no one was injured.

Thank you for the kind words! We're so glad you found the place clean and comfortable, and that you enjoyed the dock and got some good kayaking in. It's great to hear everything worked out with check-in despite the hiccup, and that all the pups stayed safe in the end.
