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.

The house was perfect for our brief stay. It is perfectly situated just below the owners’ house with a gorgeous view of the mountains! It was clean and had everything we needed for our stay.
This was our second stay at Fancy Gap Mountain Escape. We were celebrating my sister's birthday and when we arrived, there was a "Happy Birthday" banner hanging up in the kitchen. Linda and Michael are exceptional hosts. They were readily available when I had a question or a need. The view is breathtaking. Diamond and Patty, the dogs, are so sweet! We will be back!
Great place to getaway and enjoy peace and quiet. The people we rented from was super nice, I would recommend this place to anyone that wants to get away but still somewhat close to places to eat and go to.
Hosts were incredibly courteous and the home had everything you could think of for comfort and convenience. Would highly recommend and plan to stay again in the future!
We had a great time.Spent some quality time with the family. The views were beautiful. House was homey and comfortable. I will definitely book it again. Thank you so much.
We enjoyed some of the beautiful sunrises here. Comfortable and easily accessed! Enjoyed our entire stay! We would use this venue again.

Mountain Escape
We enjoyed our time. The house was equipped with anything you would need and the
view is beautiful.
Our family had a wonderful time! The view from the deck is breathtaking. We enjoyed sunsets, sunrises, and so much time outside. The kids loved walking to the creek and s'mores by the fire. We can't wait to come back.
Linda & Michael have a cozy vacation home. It sits on a mountain with exceptional views. Great for a dog to run around too!! Close to Blue Ridge Pkwy. I will be back, loved it.

Simple and clean with amazing long range views and privacy
This was a work trip so we were really only here late to bathe and sleep, but the house was well stocked and we found everything neat and clean and easy. Very njce owners.
The Caper’s home was as they stated in the listing. Their land is beautiful and they have two adorable dogs that came to visit. Linda was very kind and welcomed us to their property.
Fully stocked home! Ow ers thought of everything! We sat for hours on the covered back porch viewing the mountains. Total peace and quiet yet 5 minutes to stores and restaurants. Highly recommend this place for 2 or for a large family!
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.
