This was our third visit to this property! We love it - the serenity, the coziness, the seclusion, everything about it! The host added some new furniture this time: bedding and living room couches, to name a few. It is the perfect atmosphere to absolutely unwind; although, there is abundant cell service and Internet so it’s there if you need it. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and that is one of the many reasons we enjoy it! The host always replies quickly to any inquiry! The perfect getaway!
We had nine guests for the holidays here. This modern style home has a spacious layout for entertaining. The pond in the back yard is beautiful, surrounded by trees. We appreciated the nice hot tub, large dining table, spacious bedrooms, and cleanliness of this home. It is one of the cleanest homes we've ever rented. It definitely met our needs and would recommend it for a relaxing, private getaway with enough space for entertaining a larger group.
the place is amazing.... we had read the reviews but they did not prepare us for the overall peace and beauty of this place. there was absolutely nothing we looked for that we couldnt find. extremely clean and well taken care of
We loved the house and lake. This is a quiet and beautiful relaxing place to stay. We would definitely love to stay here again. The driveway needs some work but that is the only thing we seen that could use some improvement
We had a wonderful stay .. second time we have stayed at this property.. love the seclusion and the lake .. love the setup of the house and the amount of space .. would recommend this to large families
This is the first time we've rented a place to stay coming from out of state and this place could not have been more PERFECT!! The owner thought of just about everything anyone could ever want or need. It was very clean and comfortable, relaxing, enjoyable, just PERFECT! Thank you so much for letting us come and stay while we attended family reunion events there in Galax. You made us feel so welcomed and you were so helpful with the checking in and checking out. The family members who came with us loved being there and said they would give it 10 stars review! It was so wonderful, and we hope that you'll let us come again some time. Thank you! Again, it was PERFECT!
Loved the lakehouse and deck. Such a beautiful outdoor space for relaxing!
Also appreciated the kitchen having plenty of dishes, pots, pans, iron skillet, crock pot, blender, etc., because we love to cook and eat our meals together.
We stayed here last year when we came to spay and neuter in Galax with our mobile clinic and enjoyed the hot tub after long days. Slept well in comfortable beds, and cooked in well stocked kitchen and ate around the big table.
This is an absolute beautiful retreat and the second time we have visited this property. Day and night, there is a feeling of ease and peace - all the while knowing you are mere minutes from town. No complaints, just compliments on this spacious 3bdrm home. Very responsive owner, also!
Amazing property. Very beautiful and truly private. We loved the private lake. Perfect for a family retreat. Hosts were available to answer questions and house was stocked with all the essentials for the perfect mountain getaway.
I would definitely stay here again
My family really enjoyed this house. The house is completely secluded and the pond is a wonderful view. We took long walks every day and were able to completely unwind. We will book this house again.

Chris and his family were excellent guests at our secluded mountain home. We would be happy to host them again in the future!
It was a beautiful house and location. It was quiet and very relaxing. The owner provides all the accommodations you will need plus a lot of extras. We loved the fishing from her canoe and caught and released several fish every day. We will definitely return.
My friends and I come up to Piper’s Gap for fellowship and relaxation. We are never disappointed. The property is quiet and remote. The house is spacious and modern. And the surroundings are perfect.
When it says secluded that it is. Very nice & quiet to be able to watch the deer around the pond & listen to all the other wildlife. They only thing we thought was they could of brought in a little fill in some spots cause if you would go one side of the driveway in the dark you would of fell off to a deep hole
The description of property is right on. Very quite, large pond and of course 5 deer two geese rabbits (and a partridge in a pear tree LOL). Hot tub was great. Played with dogs in large shade area. Has three brooks that ran into pond. Inside has all you need and then some. Will stay again.
This property has everything you could ask for, including spectacular views - all from the couch! The rooms are large, the furniture is nice, the kitchen is spacious and the bathrooms have plenty of space! The bedrooms are laid out perfectly, each with their own bathrooms! The pond is nice, as is the hot tub! This is one gorgeous home! The host was very responsive and informative!
