Fancy Gap Visit

Beautiful area and easy to get to. The house was very clean and a good size. It was very peaceful and Robin the owner answered any questions we had in a timely manner. Great place to rest or a short drive to activities. Looking forward to another visit in the future.

Cozy and quiet

We had a nice weekend stay at Robin’s home. The house was much larger than I thought it would be with plenty of chairs for outdoor seating. The grill was out and ready for use and the beds were comfortable to sleep in. We had a little hiccup while there and Robin responded timely and appropriately. Overall, it’s a beautiful property and we would stay there again for a getaway in the mountains!

A step back in time

Robin is an AMAZING host! The property is vintage, but exquisite is the furnishings. We wanted for nothing in terms of towels, cookware, dishes, laundry products, etc. We needed some peace, and we found it here.

Home to Relax

My husband and I recently stayed at this property for our anniversary. It was so peaceful! I was impressed with the cleanliness. The property matched the description perfectly. Everything was as advertised—no surprises, just a relaxing and stress-free experience. The photos and details provided were accurate, which is something I really appreciated when booking. It is important that future renters know that the drive to get to the home would be challenging if we had been pulling our enclosed trailer. We considered hauling our motorcycles to ride on the parkway, but the trailer would have been damaged on the driveway to the home and driving the bikes on the gravel road would have been stressful.

Peaceful comfort

We had a wonderful 4 day weekend stay at this property. Robin was very prompt and kind in her communication. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. Robin told us it’s nothing fancy, and she’s right, but it was very comfortable and so relaxing and peaceful. We like to hike and it is located close to several good hiking opportunities as well as close to Galax and Mt. Airy for other things to do. We hope to be able to return again soon and explore the area more. When we do we will definitely stay here again.

Perfect Holiday Respite

Easy from start to finish, including getting there. Robin was communicative and responsive, though we had want for nothing. The property is being continuously refreshed - beyond even the photo updates. It was perfect for us and our pup to get away and do nearly nothing for a few days. Plenty of space and very comfortable for the 3 of us. We worked 3-2/3 of the puzzles there and just had some downtime. Had a great time and would definitely stay again!

Piper Gap

Very nice place to relax and see some beautiful scenery. This house had all the things you would need for a rental property. Saw a big buck deer one afternoon around 2:00pm and he was no more than 20 yards away from us. Heard turkeys in the mornings. Our host Robin was very helpful with questions I asked her. Thanks for a wonderful get away.

Charming & Cozy!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Robin's charming cabin. The front porch was the perfect spot to sip coffee (and wine) while gazing at the view. So relaxing! We also enjoyed being so close to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Don't miss stopping at Mabry Mill--it's a gorgeous spot to walk around and there are lots of great picture ops! We also explored Mt. Airy (Mayberry) and Floyd where we got some amazing coffee at Red Rooster Roasters. Robin's cabin was the perfect place to land after a day of adventure. Robin is an amazing host--very communicative, helpful, and full of southern charm herself! :)

About the host

Hosted by Robin A Fincher

This is a precious privately owned home and has been in our family since it was custom built in 1981. The view at the end of the driveway behind us (circa 1999) is overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains and into Mount Airy, NC, Pilot Mountain, and Winston-Salem in the distance.

Why they chose this property

Close to Floyd County, minutes from towns Hillsville, and Galax, Virginia. Mount Airy, North Carolina (home of Andy Griffith, Mayberry) is a 20 minute drive south down the mountain.

What makes this property unique

The quietness and serenity are wonderful there. You are just minutes away from charming towns and many activities, but if you need 'downtime' this is THE place to come.
