About the host
Hosted by Pamela Robinson
We are busy professionals who live only an hour away. We work a lot. We never seem to stop. The only time we don't work is when we get away. We have always rented cabins in various places. Our friends own a cabin in Galax that we frequented often. Finally we decided to purchase and allow other to experience the peace of getting away from it all. We hope you enjoy our cabin as much as we do. It is truly a special place.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this property because it is totally private when trees are in bloom. Once we enter the gate, it feels as though we are in another world. The views are amazing from inside and out. We live in a neighborhood with rows of houses and wanted this to be a place of refuge. There are 4 acres of woods for us to play in. We love sitting by the stream and talking about our future plans. The woods are full of wild flowers, beautiful ferns, and rhododendrons. Every time we arrive, we are greeted by dozens of beautiful deer.
In Winston-Salem the summers are extremely hot and humid. In Virginia, the temperature is normally 10 degrees lower. On our mountain top, there seems to always be a cool breeze with less humidity.
We love sitting inside on the sofa looking at views of Pilot Mountain or pulling out our telescope to find the Winston-Salem skyline. There are amazing mountain views all around us. In the winter you can even see Buffalo Mountain.
In the mornings, we enjoy walking out on the deck with the warmth of the sun on our face and views of the lower gap/valleys below. Even when it's 30 degrees outside, the sun keeps us warm without a coat.
The nights are chilly and perfect for sitting by the firepit making smores. Imagine looking down on other cities and seeing nothing but lights. I always feel the presence of God there and marvel at his creation.
