Blue Ridge Parkway Seclusion


Welcome to Rustic Ridge Retreat. A long time VRBO destination, this charming cozy cabin offers tremendous views of the Piedmont stretching across multiple counties of northern North Carolina, and the southwestern edge of Virginia. A very private and secluded setting with all the amenities of home. Enjoy the rocking chair front porch while taking in the view or watching for wildlife including deer, red-tailed hawks, wild turkey, groundhogs, and, in the summer evenings, fireflies.

Location is key…. just off the Blue Ridge Parkway (approx 1.3 miles), you can explore historic buildings/sites, stop and take in breathtaking views, and experience the beautiful seasons the parkway has to offer. In addition to the parkway, the area offers something for everyone to enjoy…music festivals (Mt Airy, Galax, Floyd), wineries, photography opportunities, golf courses, antiques galore, hiking, biking, and so much more.

The cabin includes two large bedrooms - one downstairs (primary with king bed) and one upstairs (queen and twin). The loft includes additional sleeping accommodations (queen/ twin), if needed. A fully equipped kitchen, living room, and two and one-half bath complete the cabin. Outside you’ll find a bistro sitting area, back porch with grill, and a fire pit to enjoy on chilly nights.

The cabin is equipped with a whole house generator to ensure power stays on during stormy weather.

We welcome your four-legged family members (dogs only). The purchase of an insurance policy is required during booking. Insurance policies protect both the renter and the property owner for damage. Life happens, so these policies are just that…insurance for the unexpected and unintended.

Cancellations: Your reservation is fully refunded (minus the VRBO guest service fee) if you cancel at least 14 days prior to your arrival date, or 50% refundable if cancelled 7 days prior to your arrival date. No refunds are allowed for cancellations shorter than 7 days. Insurance policies purchased are fully refunded by the insurance company upon any cancellation prior to arrival of your reservation. VRBO’s ‘Guest service fee’ is not refundable.

We look forward to having you as our guest!

Note: We are continuously making updates and will post new photos as each update is completed.

Great stay in beautiful cabin
Our family thoroughly enjoyed the stay in this beautiful cabin. My mother said it was the nicest place she had ever stayed in . We loved walking around the area and eating in the deck while taking in the sunset. We will be back!

wonderful, relaxing stay, very convenient for a getaway day to Blue RIdge Music Center, and Dobson,
We would have liked for the view from the deck to have had a better panorama, if the top of the trees hadn't been so tall it would have been spectacular, as it was from upstairs bedroom. But even with the small view, our mornings and evenings on the deck, the four of us having coffee, wine, devotions, conversations, were such a blessing.

Great Family Property Vacation
Lovely place, excellent communication, clean as a whistle! The kitchen had everything we needed, safe environment. We have been coming to Fancy Gap/Cana for over 25 years and love it! The only difficulty we had was the height of all the beds. Our 90 year old tiny mother could not safely get up and down from any of the beds so - she had to sleep in a cot we brought along. She is very fit for her age but we were not willing to risk injury. There are only one set of stairs to the deck but they are easy to use. Thanks for the memories!

Fantastic!
I can not say enough great things about our stay and this property. Everything was perfect. Views for miles! Unbelievably quiet! The property owner was very responsive and even gave the best direction with little details, like where to turn in the driveway. which I did not read thoroughly and we went blowing by! :) Beds were great, showers was great/hot with the tankless hot water heater. Beyond furnished with everything you could possibly need and more. We would 100% stay here again!

Great Long Weekend Stay
The property is a short drive to the Blue Ridge Parkway and to Mt. Airy, NC. It was very well stocked with everything that we needed. Cindy checked with us to make sure that we arrived okay and everything was fine with the property when we arrived. We hope to stay here again in the future.

Great quiet house for rural mountain break
We really enjoyed our stay, which we used for a quiet weekend away to get writing work done in a relaxed environment. Beautiful views in the direction of Pilot Mountain from a quiet and very comfortable cabin. Everything we needed was there, and the host was very responsive when we needed to text about (very minor) issues that came up. We strongly recommend a visit.

Wonderful Stay!
We stayed at this cabin for a few days after Christmas and had a great stay! The cabin is clean, comfortable and extremely well stocked! The view from the front porch is incredible!! Especially at sunset! There are lots of comfortable sleeping areas available and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook each night! Cindy was very responsive and very accommodating! We loved that this cabin was pet friendly and we could bring our dogs with us! We would definitely book this cabin again for a restful get-away in the future! Thank you for sharing your beautiful house with us, Cindy! Jennifer from Raleigh, NC

Relaxing Stay With Amazing Scenery
Our stay was perfect. We were fortunate that the weather was unseasonably mild for December. Regarding the cabin itself, we were very satisfied with our choice. The cabin was very clean, organized, and overall very welcoming. We loved the layout internally and the furniture was very comfortable in all rooms. We often choose cabins as our annual R&R getaways and have stayed in numerous cabins over the years. This cabin ranked at the very top and our intent is to book a repeat visit in the foreseeable future. We loved the seclusion and the views from the front porch were spectacular. A very big thanks to the owners for creating a wonderful getaway experience.

Perfect getaway!
The cabin is beautiful inside and out. It had everything we could possibly want or need. Loved the way it is secluded and I can’t say enough about the spectacular view. We were so fortunate to catch the fall colors and beautiful weather. Sitting out on the porch in the morning with a cup of coffee and the sunrise….priceless! The communication with the owner was exceptional. No complaints….*****

Beautiful home and views!
This home and property was everything it said it was plus some, the photos don’t do it justice! All needed kitchen items plus some! Plenty of games for the family to play, plenty of extra blankets To snuggle up. The view was amazing from the front porch. Very quiet, we couldn’t hear any traffic (if there even was many cars that did pass). I would highly recommend. The furniture was very comfortable as well! We loved our stay.

Everything you need or want in a heavenly location!
Rustic Ridge Retreat is just wonderful! The view from the front porch is stunning and reason enough to stay there. Then there is the home itself. It is amazing: pristine and full of amenities from full size dishwashing liquid to a well stocked spice cabinet and any kitchen device you would want. We appreciated the essentials in the refrigerator as well! The A/C was welcome on a hot afternoon and the overhead fans indoors and on the porch were great. The master king bed and living room furniture were extremely comfortable. We felt it was ideally located for us to explore the local music venues. It is 30 minutes from the Blue Ridge Music Center and just an hour to Floyd, VA. The Blue Ridge Parkway is just five minutes away. As the owner is careful to note in her driving instructions, the dirt road leading to the home from the Parkway is quite steep with a few switchbacks. We recommend navigating it for the first time in daylight. Deer abound in this area, so be alert on the roads, including the Blue Ridge Parkway. We only live an hour away but will definitely return for a relaxing stay that seems worlds away!!!
