About The Owner
About Tannya and Blake Hughes:
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 Tannya and Blake Hughes chose Fancy Gap:
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), JoLo Winery (our second favorite) West Wind Winery, Shelton Vineyards, Iron Heart and Old North State Winery. 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 Cabin unique:
'Pilot's Perch'™ has two large decks, both of which offer amazing views of the Piedmont, Sauratown Mountain, Hanging Rock Mountain 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!

Perfect For Us
This cabin was more than we thought it would be. Very high standards of decor and cleanliness. It just seemed to suit us and we relaxed like we have not relaxed in 45 years of marriage. We really do appreciate having the opportunity to come to a place like ‘pilots perch too’ …and the views were incredible. we will recommend this to our friends. Thanks again for everything. It was very very beautiful.

It was a pleasure to meet you both in person upon your arrival of the cabin. We are so pleased to know you enjoyed the cabin, the views and were able to relax during your stay. We love hearing when our guests enjoy the views and the cabin as much as we do. Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to review your stay with us. We truly appreciate your high praise and 5-Star rating. We look forward to welcoming you back to the cabin when time and schedules permit. Until then, take care. ~Tannya & Blake
Beautiful escape
My sister and I traveled to Pilot’s Perch for a sisters reunion. She drove from PA to Fancy Gap and I drove west and north from Durham, NC. The cabin has every amenity one could wish for and the icing on the cake was the hot tub! The view is breathtaking. My main requirements for a comfortable rental are good beds and comfortable furniture and Pilot’s Perch provided both. The cabin was spotless. It was like entering a model home. So tastefully decorated but warm and cozy.

Views were amazing
My husband and I celebrated our 22nd anniversary at Pilots Perch this year. I stumbled across the listing and I'm so glad that I did. The views were amazing and it's so peaceful. Multiple deer walked up very close to us on a hike to the waterfall, and two mornings in a row we witnessed hawks kettling while we had our coffee on the balcony. We hiked on the property every day and drove the Blue Ridge Parkway to Mabry Mill but we honestly could have stayed in the cabin our entire 4 day stay and I would have been happy. Tannya and Blake were great hosts! We hope to return again in the future!
