What a view! "Pilot's Perch"TM is the perfect log cabin rental for your romantic mountain get-away or vacation.

Relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of the Blue Ridge Mountains in this charming, tastefully decorated cabin that is only 2 1/2 years "new". "Pilot's Perch"TM sits atop the mountain, in a private and beautiful setting, away from the hustle and bustle, but within a short distance to area attractions. Located just off Highway 52, approximately 3.5 miles from Mile Marker 199 of the Blue Ridge Parkway; this log cabin rental is furnished with everything you need for rest and relaxation.

Curl up on the comfy sofa, or in the oversized chair with ottoman, in front of our stone fireplace with inviting gas logs. Relax in the Jacuzzi tub. If it's the outdoors you love, grab a rocking chair on one of the two spacious mountain view decks, and take in the breathtaking view of Pilot Mountain,the valley below and a long-range view of Mount Airy. This cabin boasts a wide open panoramic view!

Enjoy a soak in the "oh-so-relaxing" bubbling hot tub and let the water wash away the tensions of the city. Wake up snuggling in a warm and cozy bed with luxurious linens and pillowtop mattress to the sounds of birds, and sights of deer and wild turkeys, then step out onto a deck to sip your coffee as you take in the gorgeous colors of the season. Spend the afternoon fishing, enjoy a picnic beside a covered bridge, hike nearby trails or just relax and do nothing.

Motorcyclists and bikers will appreciate the garage and paved driveways. Senior citizens will appreciate the ease of accessibility; only two steps up and you're on the front porch, which leads directly into the main living area of the cabin.

This Fancy Gap cabin has it all!

Luxurious Blue Ridge Cabin with Breathtaking View from Hot Tub

Year Purchased: 2007

Why the Owner Chose Fancy Gap

We chose the Fancy Gap area for its close proximity to our home in North Carolina. We selected the lot on which we built our cabin for its breathtaking views! We also liked the fact that the cabin is really close and accessible to so many area attractions. The cabin is 25 minutes from Mount Airy, NC (Andy Griffin's hometown) to the south and 25 minutes from Galax, VA (lots of antique stores and quaint shops) to the north. There are several wineries nearby, including Chateau Morrisette and Shelton Vineyards. Mabry Mill is just a short scenic ride down the Parkway and New River Trail State Park is only a short drive up I-77. "Pilot's Perch"TM is located in an area in which you can always find something to do or you can just relax and enjoy doing nothing. The fact that all the roads leading to the cabin are paved is a definite plus.

The Unique Benefits at this Log Cabin

"Pilot's Perch"TM has two large decks, both of which offer awesome views of the Piedmont and Pilot Mountain, the cabin's namesake. On clear days, we can actually see the tops of the skyscrapers in Winston-Salem, NC which are approximately 52 miles away. We have furnished the cabin with some really neat furniture and accessories that we hand picked because of the memories they evoke of our "growing up" years. We have also tried to provide all the conveniences of home. Chances are, if you have it at home, you'll find it at "Pilot's Perch"TM. The development in which the cabin is located has 2 stocked ponds in which the guests are welcome to fish. There is a covered bridge over a nearby stream with picnic tables, where visitors may enjoy a picnic lunch. It is an everyday occurrence to see wild turkeys, deer and other wildlife near the cabin.

 

Owner's Map of Fancy Gap

We built “Pilot’s Perch”TM log cabin as our personal vacation home in the Blue Ridge Mountains. We named the cabin after Pilot Mountain, which both decks face, and the fact that the cabin appears to literally “perch” on the side of our mountain lot. "Pilot's Perch"TM is our home away from home. It has given us a peaceful and stress free destination at which to relax and unwind. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do. The cabin was brand new as of May 2007. It is beautifully furnished and decorated with all the conveniences of home. The only negative thing we have discovered about “Pilot’s Perch"TM, is having to leave it to go home.

    • This was our second visit to Pilot's Perch and it won't be our last. The owners Roxanne and Clint are wonderful people who truly care that every visit is memorable. The cabin is equipped with everything you might need and all the comforts of home. It's only a short drive to Mabry Mill which is a must see along the Blue Ridge Parkway. I also have to give a big thank you to Amy who found my pills and had them UPS overnighted to our next destination so I had them the next day. I would rate Pilot's Perch a 10 out of 10. Thanks for another memorable stay!

    • We just got back from our weekend at your cabin and wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed it.  Over the years we have rented a lot of cabins and condos and yours was one of the nicest we have stayed at.  The house was well equipped and decorated.  Normally when we travel we like going to different restaurants and eating out, but the views were so nice and area so quiet we cooked in every evening.  Again just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed it and if any of our friends are going to the area we will definitely recommend your cabin.

    • WOW!! The photos on the website do not do this place justice, it's just one of those things you have to experience for yourself to believe it. This cabin has got to be the best vacation spot in the Blue Ridge Mountains. There is a mountain view for miles and miles, wild turkeys, fish ponds and hundreds of rabbits. This is the only vacation where we had rather stay at the cabin than travel, but the we would have missed all the neat things to do and the local area charm. Thanks for a super vacation. We'll be back.

    • What you see is what you get. We have rented other properties on this site only to be disappointed upon arrival, but this one is exactly as advertised. What a relaxing week we enjoyed taking in all that is offered. Wonderful accommodations, perfect mountain views and a new way to experience Independence Day for us "yankees!"

    • We travelled a long way from England to get to Pilot`s Perch - it was worth every mile.The cabin itself exceeded our expectations and the view was magnificent Anyone from Europe who hasn`t travelled outside big city America might consider coming here - it`s wonderful in the mountains. Plus it`s got what the USA has always had - friendly Americans.

    • What can we say that the previous guests haven't? Its all true! Everything was perfect (yes, it looks exactly like the photos). The owners, Roxanne and Clint, are very nice. They were very helpful, too, when we realized (en route) that we'd forgotten the directions and had to call them! They even called the cabin later that day to see if we'd made it and if we had any questions. Our only regret is that we only had two days. We would have loved to have spent the week.

    • Unbelievable! We spent Thanksgiving here and had a great visit. The cabin and surroundings are both something to behold. We fell in love with the place the minute we walked through the door! The views will leave you breathless and the cabin itself is awesome. We loved everything about it and hope to come back again. We ended our stay with a trip to the Christmas Tree Farm to choose a tree and it started snowing while we were there. What a beautiful and memorable way to end our holiday!

    • We visited the cabin for our 4th anniversary! It was quite beautiful and the view is breath taking! Also it was very special to us as my husband proposed to me on Pilot Mountain, and we could see it from the deck. Everyone should experience this loving atmosphere at the cabin at least once in his or her lifetime. We will definitely be booking another stay. Thanks for allowing us to stay at your lovely cabin.

    • Aug. 4th-Aug. 11th 2007 We love your cabin. We wish we could have another week there. You have thought of everything, and it is appointed with beautiful furniture, quilts, old tymey artifacts . . . . I enjoyed walking around the area seeing 3 wild turkeys near the pond . . . we hope to come back again in the future
