About this property

Fancy Gap Mountain Escape

Beautiful home on 30 acre farm, very private with panoramic views in a very rural setting with easy access from I 77 and Hwy 52 off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Large back deck to sit and watch wildlife and relax in the mountain air. This home has evolved from a mobile home to a more conventional house. Our place is clean and very homey but nothing fancy. Special cleaning/disinfecting procedures used due to COVID. New carpet and paint January 2020. A short hike on the property to a mountain stream and picnic area. Nothing "fancy" but a very comfortable, country home with all amenities needed. We have wifi which almost always works remember we are rural. Some cell carriers work better than others.

There is an am/fm radio with speakers throughout the house located in the kitchen above the oven. It even takes cassettes if you have any! Charcoal grill with charcoal and lighter provided. Outside fire pit. Wi-Fi usually good but due to rural location has on occasion been slow. Cell service can be iffy with some providers, Verizon is best. Can almost always use WiFi and text. Dish TV.Heat and AC, gas log fireplace.Outdoor fire pit with wood provided. The property is private with plenty of room to roam around and explore. Safe from noisy highways but close to attractions.

Beautiful mountain view!

Linda was fantastic! I didn't even realize I left something behind, but she contacted me so she could send it to me. The property was very quaint and private and a wonderful view of the mountains. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.

Quiet and relaxing

The house has a homey feeling. Beautiful view. Cows in the meadow. Linda is great. She came to visit us and brought her lab. And she loves people to pet and play with her. If you’re looking for solitude but wineries close to visit... this is the place to stay.

Blue Ridge Mountain relaxing

Great views and wonderful hosts. Linda and Michael greeted us on arrival and are available if needed. The rental was very comfortable spacious and well stocked with necessary items and some added bonus items such as coffee, a shout out to them for that. The views from the porch are amazing and with the weather changes you could see a rainbow as we did. While we stayed we visited many spots on the Blue Ridge Parkway, Mt. Airy NC, Galax, Hillsville and Floyd, for music venues, dinning, farmers market, winery, shopping and museums. Enjoyed it and looking forward to returning.

Serenity

This was the most peaceful place we have ever stayed in. There was no noise, except nature. The stars were awesome (after the storms left the area ). The sun woke us in the morning(not noise). What a treat. The hostess was very friendly and helpful. She answered all questions immediately and made recommendations for local eateries. Loved the peace and quiet, so we have made plans to return later this year.

Amazing view!!

This was a perfect place for our short weekend stay. We came on Thanksgiving weekend so we could get a fresh Christmas tree. My two kids loved being outdoors running up and down the hills. It was very spacious on the inside. They have everything you could ever need from pot and pans to shampoo and conditioner!! The owners were very nice even though we didn't get the chance to meet them. Linda stayed in contact with us before and after our stay. Hopefully we will be back next year for another Christmas tree trip with the family!!!

Break from stress

The owners greet you when you arrive and walk you through. Thus you learn how things work and where things are. We returned for another visit. It is so quiet and dark. You can hear and see nature. The stars and moon are so beautiful. If you have any questions, Linda answers them immediately. Great sleeping, kitchen has about all anyone needs, TV has many channels, internet and phone service are everywhere(no spotty mess). We love to stay for a stress relief time.

Loved the view/didn't care for the house at all

Really enjoyed the peace and quiet, the views, the hosts, but the house was really run down and I don't recommend this to anyone and we won't be staying there again unless they do some MAJOR renovations to the house. Ants were crawling all over the kitchen counter, the walls had holes/scratches, all the doors were scratched up, the bathroom doors would not stay shut, etc/etc/etc......

About the host

Hosted by Linda Capers

Host profile image
Michael and I love our dogs and the mountains and want to allow people to travel with their pets. We have plenty of space for dogs to run and explore, off the main highway safe and noise free. We live on the farm but our home still allows people plenty of privacy. We are always available for any questions or concerns. Just a perfect get away setting.
Growing up in West Virginia myself it reminds me of my childhood wonderful country relaxing places. This is our first vacation rental but we purchased a second just three miles away. “Attitude Adjustment”. Check it out also on VRBO.

Why they chose this property

We are located close to Highway, Interstate and the Blue Ridge Parkway but our guest home is on a 30 acre farm. Very private and peaceful. Come and relax the beauty speaks for itself.

What makes this property unique

As we have mentioned before the privacy and homey feeling can not be overstated. Perfect in every season. Hiking to mountain stream on the property. Plenty of outdoor space for families and pets to sit on covered deck or enjoy a bon fire in large outdoor fire pit, wood provided.
