Pilot's Perch ~ Luxurious Blue Ridge Cabin with Breathtaking View from Hot Tub

SPRING WILL BE HERE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT! COME ENJOY A FEW DAYS, OR EVEN A WEEK, RELAXING ON ONE OF THE TWO DECKS OF THIS CHARMING MOUNTAIN LOG CABIN WITH BREATHTAKING 180̊ PANORAMIC VIEWS OF PILOT MOUNTAIN AND YADKIN VALLEY BELOW JUST OFF THE BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY. ONCE THERE, YOU WON’T WANT TO LEAVE, SO RESERVE YOUR HOT TUB TIME NOW OR YOU’LL SURELY BE DISAPPOINTED LATER!!

***3 NIGHT MINIMUM STAY REQUIRED FOR ALL WEEKEND RESERVATIONS***

Enjoy the awe-mazing mountain views from two large decks with stainless steel cable deck rails that give an almost totally unobstructed view of the Piedmont and valley below.

Enjoy the breathtaking views as the 6-person hot tub washes away life’s stresses.

Cuddle on the sectional sofa in front of the gas fire pit while sipping a glass of wine and enjoying the city night lights.

Unwind in the old-timey cedar rocking chairs on the spacious lower deck or on the Adirondack chairs of the upper deck and take in the breathtaking view of Pilot Mountain, the valley below, and a long-range view of the Piedmont.

Spend the afternoon fishing in one of the two ponds in our development, enjoy a picnic beside a covered bridge, climb waterfalls, enjoy a variety of things nearby: winery tours and tastings, historical icons such as Mabry Mill, horseback riding, hiking trails, Mayberry Days, Flea Markets, Wine Down the Music Trail, or just relax and do nothing at the cabin.

Motorcyclists and bikers will appreciate the paved driveways after a long ride enjoying the mountain scenery.

'Pilot's Perch'™ is the perfect log cabin stay for your romantic mountain get-away or quiet and peaceful vacation. This Fancy Gap cabin has it all so come make some wonderful memories!!

Pilot’s Perch utilizes three exterior surveillance cameras for surveillance reasons. They are unable to capture any interior images or any images on either deck. One is located on the front porch by the front door for the surveillance of entrances and exits of the cabin through the front door, possible wild life on the front porch and weather observations. The second is to the right of the exterior garage door on the lower driveway. The third is located near the road between the two driveways. They are for the surveillance of entrances and exits of the cabin through the front door, garage door, possible wild life, bypassing traffic and weather observations.

Paradise
I was expecting a lot based on the description of the property. Pilot’s Perch did not disappoint it was all it said it was and more. The views are really incredible and the house was very inviting and warm. We usually don’t go back to the same place because there is so much to see and do in this country however, this place. Would be the exception already trying to figure out a time to go back to Pilot’s Perch!

THE VIEWS!!
Hubby and I needed a quick weekend away, so we booked 3 night. The cabin was perfectly appointed, clean, comfortable, etc. but those VIEWS are amazing. Totally private decks with a hot tub. The neighborhood roads, ponds, and covered bridge were an adventure of their own. You will find everything you need in Fancy Gap, but Mt Airy or Mabry Mill is a quick drive away.

Valentines getaway
What an amazing cabin! We went to just get away and relax with each other. The cabin was absolutely incredible! The most spectacular sunrises and the view…words cannot express the beauty. Property was immaculate, well equipped with everything anyone would need. Owners covered every question on their welcome package. Incredible getaway! We will definitely be back!

Serenity
Upon entering this cabin, you have a sense of calmness and serenity. The cabin is extremely clean and well taken care of. You really don't need to leave the cabin if you don't want to. All types of cookware is at your disposal. The view from both balconies are nothing short of breathtaking especially while soaking in the hot tub listening to your favorite music!

We honeymooned at “Pilot’s Perch”™ when we were married in April 2014. We so enjoyed our time here, and were so relaxed and refreshed after our stay, that we knew we would have to come back some time. That return visit happened in November 2017. During our stay this second time, we were presented with the most wonderful opportunity of potentially purchasing “Pilot’s Perch”™ log cabin as our very own personal vacation home in the Blue Ridge Mountains. How cool is that?!?! We thought it would be very cool to own the place where we honeymooned!!! We were very excited about this opportunity and began extensive conversations with the then owners of “Pilot’s Perch”™, Clint and Roxanne. Since we loved “Pilot’s Perch”™ so much, we decided to make it our very own home away from home. It has given us much joy to make this purchase and we are looking forward to having such a quiet and peaceful place we can go to and get away from all the stress of our normal, daily lives and relax and unwind. We are looking forward to making many beautiful, new and happy memories at the cabin. We are blessed to be able to share “Pilot’s Perch”™ with you and hope you will enjoy the cabin as much as we do and make many beautiful, new and happy memories here as well. The cabin is beautifully furnished and decorated with all the conveniences of home, but we will continue to update and add amenities to enhance our guests' mountain log cabin experience. You will find the only negative thing about “Pilot’s Perch'™ is having to leave it to go home.

Why they chose this property

That view!!! We chose the Fancy Gap cabin for its breathtaking views and close proximity to our Virginia family as we live in Fort Worth, Texas. It is also great that we are minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Pilot’s Perch™ is really close and accessible to many area attractions. The cabin is 25 minutes from Mount Airy, NC to the south (Andy Griffith's hometown) and 25 minutes from Galax, VA to the north (lots of antique stores and quaint shops). There are several wineries nearby: Chateau Morrisette (our favorite), West Wind Winery, Shelton Vineyards, Old North State Winery and Villa Appalacia. Mabry Mill is just a short scenic ride down the Parkway and the New River Trail State Park is only a short drive up I-77. 'Pilot's Perch'™ is located in an area in which you can always find something to do or you can just relax and enjoy doing nothing.

What makes this property unique

'Pilot's Perch'™ has two large decks, both of which offer amazing views of the Piedmont and Pilot Mountain, the cabin's namesake. On clear days, you can actually see the tops of the skyscrapers in Winston-Salem, NC which are approximately 52 miles away. The cabin is furnished with some really unique furniture and accessories that were hand-picked especially for the cabin. 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'™. The development in which the cabin is located has 2 ponds for our guests' enjoyment. (You should see the size of the catfish in one of them!) There is a covered bridge over a nearby stream with picnic tables where visitors may enjoy a picnic lunch. We have waterfalls for you to enjoy climbing, and it is an everyday occurrence to see wild turkeys, deer and other wildlife around the cabin and in the development. You might even spot an occasional black bear!
