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

FALL WILL SOON BE HERE! THIS MEANS FALL FOLIAGE AND COOLER TEMPERATURES!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE COOLER TEMPERATURES! FALL IS A GREAT TIME OF YEAR TO RELAX IN THE HOT TUB OR SNUGGLE BY THE FIRE PIT WHILE SIPPING A GLASS OF WINE AND TAKING IN THE AWE-MAZING VIEWS OFFERED AT PILOT'S PERCH. WE’RE ALREADY TAKING LATE FALL AND EARLY WINTER BOOKINGS, SO TAKE A PEAK AT OUR CALENDAR, CHOOSE SOME DATES, AND COME STAY WITH US SOON!!

***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.

Amazing view and so peaceful
This was our second trip to this amazing mountain cabin, and it was just as unforgettable as the first! The views continue to blow us away—there’s truly nothing like it. When the fog rolled in, it felt like we were floating in the clouds, and on clear days, the panoramic views seemed to stretch forever.We spent so many relaxing hours in the hot tub, enjoying the peaceful surroundings, and loved winding down by the fire on the deck in the evenings. It’s such a tranquil and private spot—perfect for disconnecting from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.We were even treated to a visit from two deer on the property, adding an extra touch of magic to our stay. The quiet, peaceful atmosphere makes this place feel like a true retreat, and we can’t wait to come back again! If you’re looking for a peaceful, scenic getaway, this cabin is the perfect place. Highly recommend!

Excellent Stay!
You will not find a better view! We enjoyed everything about this home and would go back again and again. It was clean, there was nothing we needed and oh my goodness the view was amazing. I took my wife here for her 50th birthday because she loves sunrises and sunsets; when we arrived there were a few balloons there left by the host (she loved that). Thanks again Taanya and Blake!

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.

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!

Romance and Relaxation
Amazing amazing views!!! The attention paid to detail was exceptional ! The whole process was super easy because of the property owner . Our stay was between Christmas and New Years. Relaxation was what we needed and was well achieved . Having our coffee while the sun rose and enjoying cocktails around the fire pit as the sun set . Points of interest recommended by the property owner was extremely helpful . The property was very welcoming , clean, and up to date . We will definitely return !

A truly amazing view!
We've never stayed somewhere with a view as amazing as the one we had in front of us all the time at this cabin. The house was very easy to find, and the owners give detailed instructions on how to take care of every amenity in the house. The owner was also very responsive if we had questions or needs. Between the hot tub, the gas fireplace, and the stunning view, this cabin is built to help you relax and decompress from the stress of the day to day.

The BEST View in America!
We routinely stay in cabins in the mountains and have had some awesome views. This cabin has by far the best view of anywhere we've ever stayed! The host was very informative and communicated quickly. The cabin was exactly as described. As others have mentioned, if you are coming here after or during snow, I would recommend getting tire chains/shoes. We've lived in Montana and curvy icy roads should be respected. I would LOVE to stay here after a snow! I can't think of any improvement points. The kitchenware was clean and in good repair. Surrounding towns were close enough to get what you need. Truly a gem on the mountain! We will defnintely be back!

Breathtaking views!!
My husband and I are travelers- usually in our RV.. we have been to some great places through the U.S and usually we are ready to get home. Not at Pilots Perch. We wish we had more time there. Usually we are in a rush to get out and explore the area but not here. We were very content on staying at the cabin. Best views we’ve seen in a very long time. Cannot wait to go back!!

About the host

Hosted by Tannya Hughes

Host profile image
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!
