About this property

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.

Anniversary- 44 years

Beautiful place and great scenery in the mountains. If you love peace and quiet , this is the place for you. Get some groceries before your trip up. You’re about 20 minutes from grocery store. Remember, 12miles may take you 20 minutes, a little curvy but we didn’t have any problems with 2 wheel drive. Would definitely recommend the place

Gorgeous View

The view from the cabin is gorgeous. We could see all the way to Pilot Mountain. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. It was apparent that thought went into all the amenities provided. Hopefully we will be able to stay again soon.

Great Getaway Property!

Nice, clean and as advertised! Owner was great in communications. Only reason for a 4 star vs a 5 the only deck/view is from the front and the deck is pretty small. A large deck with a hot-tub with those views would be a 5 star! Also, again, as advertised (& I knew in advance), alittle ways out from things to do (Mt Airey, etc). Minor issues with furnace, but got those sorted!

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 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!

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….*****

About the host

Hosted by Cindy Coleman

Host profile image
We visited Fancy Gap (Cana) on our 25th wedding anniversary and fell in love with the location. Five months later we became the owner of this cozy cabin and long time Vrbo destination. We love to travel, especially mountain settings, and you'll find some of our other favorite locations in photos on the walls of our cabin.

Why they chose this property

Our property won us over when we stepped out on the front patio. We fell in love with the view where we can sit for hours and watch the sunrises, sunsets, wildlife, and awesome storms and lightning shows.

What makes this property unique

You'll love the quiet secluded location knowing town is only minutes away. Plus, there are many restaurants, wineries, and golf courses nearby, in addition to the famous Mayberry artifacts located in Mt. Airy 20 minutes from the cabin. As a convenience, you'll find a listing of restaurants on our information wall...including gluten free options.
