Respite in a Beautiful Setting

This is the second time we have stayed in this Air Bellows Gap Home. So peaceful, comfortable and has everything you need. Great back porch deck for relaxing, closed in porch and great den and kitchen. The location is very close to many hiking locations. Great hosts as well! We hope to make it a quarterly getaway!

Perfect!

We love the Air Bellows Gap Retreat! We just completed our second stay and it won't be our last! It's comfortable, homey and well stocked. The place is impeccably clean and the views are great. Leland is a great communicator and there are wonderful local tips for things to do in the area included with check in/ check out information. Highly recommended.

Amazing Mountain Views

My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend with our 8 year old daughter and we had a great stay! The home is spacious and cozy with awesome views right on the back deck. The house was sparkling clean and had everything we needed. The owners left us a dozen fresh eggs and local honey - so thoughtful and delicious! Thank you for a wonderful stay! We would definitely go back and recommend the home!

Gorgeous views

We just wanted to get away a few days in the mountains. This was the perfect place. The house was very clean and comfortable and the views were amazing! The owners were super nice and even brought us some fresh eggs from their chickens and honey from their bees! It is out in the country but not too far to town. We would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful experience

We had a great time at Air Bellows Gap. The house was very clean and comfortable, and the hosts were helpful in making local recommendations. Easy access to the Blueridge Parkway, and a gorgeous view from the back deck. We would stay here again!
