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.

Beautiful vacation spot

This property was a perfect spot for a fall getaway. It was supplied with all we needed. It was clean and ready for us when we arrived and you can't beat the view from the porch. Our only issue was that the photos showed a front door that was a level entrance which is why we chose it. This door was not accessible due to the furniture placement in the living room. We were traveling with two people who don't handle stairs well so coming and going was a bit of an ordeal. Something to consider if you need to avoid stairs. If stairs aren't a problem, this is your next vacation spot.

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.

Love the scenery

Room enough for 2 families, beautiful scenery, and enjoy catching up on family that we don’t get to see very often. Shops, scenery and just enjoying a ride in the mountains. Had problems with internet the whole time we were there. No service at all. House needs some upgrades and cleaning in some rooms. We enjoyed our time for thanksgiving with family.

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.
