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!

Map & Owner's Profile
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.
