It’s 5 O’Clock Here-Waterfront Cabin w/Hot Tub! Pet Friendly, Blue Ridge Parkway

10/10 Excellent
"You simply cannot go wrong choosing this property!The “It’s 5 O’Clock Here” cabin is absolutely adorable and has everything you could possibly need for a relaxing getaway. When my wife and I arrived, we were immediately impressed by how absolutely immaculate the entire place was. Everything was clean, comfortable, welcoming, and thoughtfully taken care of.We celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary here, and we honestly could not have chosen a better place. We had a fantastic and incredibly relaxing stay, and we truly felt like we had nothing to worry about.We explored Fancy Gap, Galax, and Hillsville, and had an absolute blast spending the day in Mount Airy, NC—Andy Griffith’s hometown, which is only about 20 minutes away. We also did quite a bit of hiking and were completely taken aback by the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains.But some of our favorite moments were actually spent right at the cabin. We spent so much time in the evenings and early mornings sitting on the covered porch, relaxing in the hot tub, reading a book, or simply enjoying a meal together. And the view from that porch is absolutely awesome!We appreciated the property and the host so much that we're actually entertaining the idea of coming back and renting both cabins—one for us and one for my wife's brother and his wife. That should tell you just how much we enjoyed our stay!To make a long story short: RENT THIS PLACE! You will have absolutely no regrets. Thank you Laura!"
