Pontificator`s Perch - you`ll love the view, by Buffalo Mtn Getaway

So come visit the Pontificator`s Perch, where the view is always worth the climb. Welcome to the Pontificator`s Perch, your mountaintop retreat with stunning views and endless tranquility. Perched atop Slatemont Mountain at an elevation of 3274 feet, the journey up may be steep, but the reward is incomparable. Step onto the wrap around deck and be greeted by the crisp, cool mountain air and uninterrupted vistas.

This is the perfect spot for both family and pets, with a spacious deck and covered porch for everyone to enjoy. Soak up the serenity as you curl up with a good book and your favorite drink, or take your furry companion for a hike on one of the nearby trails.

But don`t just take our word for it, come experience the Pontificator`s Perch for yourself. Mabry Mill and Chateau Morrisette are just a short drive away, offering even more opportunities for outdoor exploration and enjoyment. And when you`ve had your fill of adventure, return to your cozy cabin and savor your meals al fresco on the balcony, surrounded by breathtaking views that stretch for miles. From our deck, you can even catch a glimpse of Pilot Mountain in North Carolina, just one of the many picturesque sights waiting to be discovered in the Meadows of Dan, Virginia area. Don`t miss your chance to disconnect from the chaos of everyday life and reconnect with nature at the Pontificator`s Perch. Book your stay today and experience the beauty and tranquility of the mountaintop.

Great location and view!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pontificator's Perch! The location was very close to the Blue Ridge Parkway and for exploring the area. The house was nicely appointed, comfortable and had lots of room, and the view from the deck was amazing.

Quick Overnight Stay

Just needed a place to rest for a night but woke to the most beautiful long distance view. We stayed up top in the trees and it felt like we were in a tree fort! This would be great for families. We brought our big dog and he enjoyed the fact that he could run around on the plentiful decks (with gates) without us worrying about him.

Family Weekend Getaway

We really enjoyed the views of the home and was the best part of the cabin. There isn't any AC in the house which was difficult for our 5 year old and parents over the age of 70 in middle July. The guest bedroom was a lot smaller than the pictures showed. The basement seemed very outdated and somewhat of a wasted space.

Just what we wanted

We wanted a unique mountain cabin to stay in on an East coast road trip we were on and this place was exactly what we wanted and exactly as described. The road to the house is a bit steep but we made it with our loaded 2wd Ford transit van with bikes on the back. A nice secluded weekend getaway spot for sure. Our host was super responsive as well.
