Fishing, family, forest, and fun come together at Oak Hill Oasis, a peaceful lakefront retreat in Clarksville, Virginia—the state’s only lakeside town on beautiful John H. Kerr Lake/Buggs Island Lake. Our home sits on a quiet hill above the main channel with its own secluded beach cove, floating dock, and swimming ladder. It’s the perfect setting for slow mornings, sunset grilling, and memory‑making with the people you love.
Originally an off‑season hideaway for a well‑known race car driver and his family, the house blends classic knotty pine charm and mid‑century modern touches with just the right amount of modern comfort.

Step slowly and quietly outside and you may spot herons, eagles, or even an otter family along the shoreline.

Easy Access From Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, and Richmond
We’re 60–90 minutes from Raleigh, Durham, or Chapel Hill (about 70 minutes from the RDU Airport rental car lots) and just under 2 hours from Richmond—close enough for a quick getaway, far enough to feel like a true escape.
Further afield, we're also 2 hours from Charlottesville, VA, or the NC Piedmont Triad, 3 hours from Blacksburg/Roanoke, VA, and 3.5 hours from Washington, DC.
The final 3/4 mile to the house is a well-maintained gravel & dirt road but does not require any special clearance; our driveway circle and parking area is paved asphalt. The last turn on most navigation maps is incorrect but you'll receive corrected directions in your welcome message.
A Note About the Lake
Because Kerr Lake is a flood‑control project of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, our beach may occasionally collect natural log debris after storms or rapid water‑level changes. Floating dock access is always available.
