AHHMAZING!

This place is fantastic. Great cabin, wonderful hot tub, awe inspiring views! We loved it, and it was February. Really want to return when it is a little warmer, we would never turn on a TV if weather permitted setting on the deck all day and evening. If you want to sleep in, don't take the downstairs bedroom, but if you are an early riser you won't even need an alarm clock. The sun will wake you up and the views will keep you going. Roxanne is the sweetest person, can't go wrong with this one!

Perfect! Just as advertised.

I had saved this property link hoping for an opportunity to get back to my native Southwest Virginia without parental duties. Finally, after 3 years...

Pilot's Perch is exactly as advertised; it is clean, well-appointed, perched on a mountainside with long views of the valley below. We simply took along some simple food and drink items, and did not leave for 3 days. Of course, the fog was so thick one day that we didn't want to traverse the narrow road (I suspect snow could be a serious concern).

The owners are pleasant to work with and (I think) genuinely enjoy sharing their vacation home with others. We hope to visit again soon.

Girls Weekend

The first weekend of November, myself and 3 of my best friends spent a "girls weekend" at the cabin. Two of my friends live in Ohio and the other two we live in NC. It was the perfect spot for us to meet. The directions were perfect--spot on for everything! The cabin itself was incredible. We fell in love immediately! Then we stepped out on the 2 decks and were yelling to each other how beautiful the views were!! We spent the weekend catching up in the hot tub, driving the parkway doing winery tours and even caught the local auction on Saturday night. I just can't say enough about how relaxing and beautiful the location was. The pictures are spot on of the view at night--it was amazing how during the day you saw the occasional cabin or small little church in the valley, but at night it's like you were watching a transformation of lights! We loved it all so much, yes, we are coming back next year for sure! Thank you so much for sharing your little piece of heaven with us!!

Beautiful views!

We just returned from our second visit in three months! We stayed at Pilot's Perch in August 2011 and were very excited to come back in October to enjoy the beautiful view of the fall foliage. The cabin is extremely clean and comfortable. The view is spectacular from both decks and the lower deck is great with the swing, rocking chairs and hot tub. The description and pictures of the cabin were very accurate and the views are even better than the pictures. The owner is extremely helpful and provided a great list of local attractions and food choices. The Gap Deli is near the entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway and is very good (great pinto beans and corn bread!). You are also close to wineries and the New River Trail. We definitely plan to visit Pilot's Perch again in the future.

Late August in Fancy Gap

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. The house was exactly what we expected--comfortable, secluded, and beautiful. It was very clean. The owner was quite helpful, answered all of our pre-arrival questions, and called to make sure that we had arrived. We enjoyed visiting the Carroll County Fair, nearby Mt Airy, and especially recommend the brand new Mexican restaurant in downtown Hillsville--Cabo Mexican Grill & Cantina. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing place to get away from everyday life.

A Simply Delightful Cabin!

After a week touring DC we were looking forward to a relaxing time in Virginia.
From the moment we opened the door to the property, there was none of the disappointment you often experience with hotels and holiday accomodations where you see shortcomings or a lack of facilities and have to immediately try to ignore them so as to not spoil your holiday experience. The cabin was spotless and equipped to the highest standard.

After watching our daughters rushing around to look at everything and hearing them call out all of the wonderful features we were able quickly settle and enjoy everything Pilot's Perch has to offer - we had fantastic weather and had no problem having lazy days in and around the cabin or venturing further afield - nearly always returning for a BBQ!

We particularly enjoyed the Chateau Morrisette winery, touring the Blue Ridge and the old style Soda Fountain in Mount Airy became an instant favourite!
We were VRBO newbies and have to say Roxanne is a credit to all owners, never losing patience with our questions - and even purchasd an item to put in the cabin that we enquired about to save us having to bring it over from the UK - thanks again!

This cabin really is as good as the description.

Absolutely Amazing!

It doesn't get any better than this! Very clean, extremely comfortable, beautiful and beautifully decorated. And the view, well...just look at the picture. That's exactly what it looks like at night. This cabin has the best view in the development and lots of privacy to boot! Our favorite was watching the sunset from the hot tub on the covered balcony. If you are looking for a relaxing getaway to help you slow down from everyday life this is it!

Just what I had been looking for....

Pilots Perch was just what I had been searching for and more in a beautiful cabin for my husband and I to just get away from the stress and worries of everyday life. It was a great location, breath-taking views, large privacy deck with rockers, swing, and large hot tub!! The cabin was well equipped and nicely maintained, very clean. The listing description is very accurate. The photos in the listing are beautiful and even more beautiful to see. The owners are wonderful people. I spoke with Roxanne and she answered all my questions, was so very friendly, and gave me helpful instructions and offered some great places to eat. Our favorite, which she mentioned was their favorite, was the Galax Steakhouse in nearby Galax, VA. The very best, one of a kind, mouth watering ribs and pulled pork along with great tasting sides. We also enjoyed visiting Mount Airy, and seeing the site of Andy Griffiths homeplace, the museum, jail, gift shops, etc. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking a relaxing get away, honeymoon, anniversary, family, from the young to the old, you would be well pleased! Some, I understand do not even want to leave the cabin.. we actually did everyday for a few hours and would come back and relax and even took naps because it was rainy most days but so very relaxing and peaceful! We rate it a 5 star hands down!!!

Stunning views, beautiful cabin!

The cabin was even more beautiful than the pictures. The hot tub was great with an amazing view! The kitchen was well equipped and the cabin was very clean. Great location with short drive to shopping and wineries! Owners were very helpful and accommodating. Loved it! Have already recommended to friends.

AMAZING!!!

I will NEVER again travel 4 hours just to stay at a beautiful cabin. My husband and I only live about 45 minutes from this location but had no idea it was here. We will definitely stay again!
This cabin is everything the owner says it is. It is very well maintained, easy to find, quite, very private, and CLEAN. The view is absolutely PRICELESS! We actually could not believe it! You can see miles and miles and miles from those decks. The hot tub on the bottom deck is top of the line, clean, and most of all private. You cannot see another cabin from the hot tub. We have had so many good things to say about it, the whole extended family wants to go stay for a week. There are restaurants and activities nearby, but you probably won't want to leave the cabin!
