There are also many wineries and breweries throughout the area including Iron Heart which is only 8 miles from the house. The area is great for a summer lake vacation, a fall get-away to enjoy the beautiful fall colors, or a peaceful winter retreat.

All areas of the house, decks, and dock are open for access to guests. The dock available for use by renters and their guests for sun-bathing and swimming, there is space for renters to dock their own boat. The boat lift will be used by the property owners occasionally and the rental does not include use of the owner's boat or boat lift.

You're only 9 miles from I-81. There is a public boat lunch/gas station & convenience store is just a few miles away! Parking is available in the driveway of the house.

*The dock is currently UNAVAILABLE due to Hurricane Helene, we are hoping to have it rebuilt before summer 2025! Thank you for your patience.*
The water off of the dock, which has a ladder for easy access in and out of the water, is 5-7 feet deep and is great for swimming! There is a sand bar about 40ft off of the dock that keeps boats from the main channel from coming near the dock.
- Pets are allowed, but an additional pet fee is required, so pets must be included on reservation.
- Internet is available, and is a consistent connection, but speeds can vary and Streaming is very limited, but regular internet usage is usually not an issue.

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.

Awesome family vacation spot
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.

Disappointment
Very, very dated. Filthy when you lifted couch cushions. Soiled covers on furniture. Algae everywhere outside on deck and house which needs repainting. No dresser in one bedroom, closet stuffed with old bed covers with no handle on the door. Poor lighting in living rooms. Only one shower and upstairs tub very difficult to get in and out with no shower. Looked nothing like the pictures, filters must have been used on every picture. Outside under house very sloppy and cluttered. Nothing outside was nice and neat. Very uncared for and messy. Looked run down, worse property I have ever rented.

Relaxing getaway
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.

cycling/hiking trip to Hiwassee
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.

Amazing Getaway!
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!

Short Family Getaway
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!

Great neighborhood
We really enjoyed our stay at the Lazy Bass. The house and location are perfect. We met such nice people who were also renting, but many who live there permanently. Everyone is so friendly. The only negative for the house is one of the bathrooms has a tub and everyone in our group was older. Sharing one shower with 9 people was a little tough, but we made do. The house is stocked with everything you could need.

An issue with a power outage, along with no water (a well, no power to pump the water) was very frustrating. It was no cause of the owner or the property. Waiting to get power back was all on the power company. Communication with the owner was spot on, who remained in touch with the progress of the power company. Even though they couldn’t correct the problem, they were there for us. 100%

This was a perfect place to relax with grandparents and kids. Even with the cold weather and snow my 7 year old son said it was the best weekend. We never even turned on the tv. The hot tub was a hit in the snow and freezing rain, my mother said she might never get out. Look forward to going back when nicer weather to take advantage of the canoe and kayak.

Good location and well equipped. Strong sulfur smell in water and a need for renovations are the reason for not getting 5 stars. Broken dry wall piled under stairs with blankets tossed over it so maybe some updates are underway. Overall good spot and space.

I love Claytor Lake
I’ve always wanted a house at Claytor not in my budget but staying there right at the lake was great! I’m still recurring from Covid and managing breathing, physical movements. Walking up hill was a challenge but I did it daily. All around enjoyed myself.
