Fancy Gap home & Blue Ridge Parkway

We loved the location and could ride our bikes to the Blue Ridge Parkway.The home was spacious and comfortable. A 2 large trees were down in the back with an electric line string, making use of the back difficult. Dogs did come into the yard but were friendly. However, no one cleans up after them. The area roads were not busy so walking our dog was easy.All in all, our weekend was enjoyable.The host was very attentive to our messages.

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!

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Robin A Fincher

Host profile image
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.
