How They Knew It Was Time to Go All In — And Just Get The Lake House

In just a moment, you’ll meet Megan and Darrin — the creators of the Lakeview Hilltop, a coastal-chic cottage on Claytor Lake in Radford, Virginia. 

Originally from the California Bay Area, and a graphic designer by trade, Megan has always had an awareness of the role space plays in inspiring new ideas and perspectives.

Darrin, who grew up in the Southwestern Virginia area, had always dreamed of having a lake house.  But with two young kids and demanding jobs the idea of acquiring a vacation home in this season of life seemed untenable.

But then COVID hit.  And within a matter of months, a charming home that overlooked one of Virginia’s most beautiful, and somewhat undiscovered lakes became available.

Tune in to hear the story behind how Megan and Darrin acquired the home which they now call Lakeview Hilltop and brought it to life.
