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

Reach for the stars and stay in the clouds. The Pontificator's Perch sits atop Slatemont Mountain, elevation 3274 feet. It's a steep drive, but so worth the breathtaking views. Featuring a wrap around deck with a covered porch, it's perfect for family and pets as well. You'll want to enjoy some time on the porch to relax with your favorite book and beverage or head out to hike with your pet. Mabry Mill and Chateau Morrisette are just down the road.

This delightful cabin is perfect for those seeking peace and quiet. Enjoy the wrap around decks and balcony and have your meals outside. The views are breathtaking and you can see for miles and miles. In fact, you can see Pilot Mountain in NC from our deck in Meadows of Dan, VA. Floyd, VA and Mt. Airy, NC are less than 30 miles away.

The stars are beautiful and there is a natural peace at the Perch. Come stay with us!

You'll have access to the entire property.

We are just phone call away and our numbers are posted in the home.

Private Community

Don't let the fact that we don't have AC deter you from staying with us. The Perch sits high on a mountain, so there is a constant breeze. We have screens in all the windows so just open them up and let the cool come through.
Just a few reminders:
1 - Pets allowed with permission, MAX 2 dogs, sorry NO cats.
2 - Absolutely NO Smoking
3 - Please do not move furniture
4 - You'll be staying in a cabin in the woods. We apologize now if bugs make it into the cabin between cleaning and your arrival. That's just cabin life. We have pest control service, but the bugs are smarter :)
5 - Keep it clean. When you leave it should look the same as you entered, with the exception of bed linens and towels
6 - Remember it's our home, so treat it with respect

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.
