We were greeted by a flurry of butterflies as we arrived-such a lovely sign of the week ahead. It was our first time in the area and we enjoyed exploring as well as relaxing & reading on the porch & deck. The view is awesome! We loved the singing of the katydids in the evening as well as some live music at the Blue Ridge Music Center (twice). Did some exploring along the Blue Ridge Parkway and hiked a few trails. Thank you for generously providing such a lovely retreat! Hope to return!

Wonderful experience! Everything was so easy, and the cabin is absolutely charming. It’s perfect for somebody that just wants to really reconnect with themselves, enjoy family and experience some breathtaking views. The whole area of fancy gap, meadows of Dan and the small towns surrounding the area make it such a wonderful trip for those who like to explore., love art and music. We had an absolute ball. Darlene and Peter were perfect hosts.

What a cute little bungalow and a gorgeous view! Had everything we needed for a 2-night getaway. Had not been to this area in Virginia, and this was the perfect "home base" to do some exploring. Would recommend a stay here!

We loved this cozy little house. The view from the back deck was awesome! The owners are truly dog friendly. They had dog bowls, towels, and treats. The front yard and deck were fenced in! The kitchen was well furnished. The only things missing were extra paper towels and trash can liners. It was far our favorite rental through VRBO.

A Charming Retro Escape with Stunning Views!We absolutely loved our stay at this cozy Retro Bungalow! The nostalgic, retro vibe was a delightful blast from the past, and the breathtaking view from the deck made every moment feel special. The space was clean, well-equipped, and the little touches —like the bar cart and classic decor—added to the charm.The location was perfect for relaxing and exploring nearby trails, and the hosts were incredibly responsive. If you’re looking for a peaceful, unique getaway with a touch of vintage flair, this is the place to be!
