Welcome to "Point of View"! Enjoy the beautiful year-round views from our cozy mountain home located directly on the Tyro ski slope. This is a true four-season get-away. In the winter, step out the door, put on your skis and head down the mountain. If you need a break, you can ski right home and warm up by the fire. In the spring and summer, enjoy cool mountain temperatures as you hike, bike, play either of Wintergreen's 2 championship golf courses, take advantage of the top-rated tennis facility or be pampered in the fabulous spa. In the fall, relax with views of the amazing changing colors of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Hopefully you won’t mind sharing these views with the deer and other wildlife wandering on the slope in front of you!
Depending on the season, kids will enjoy a variety of activities including skiing, snowboarding, tubing, golf, tennis, arts and crafts, swimming, horseback riding and miniature golf. Older kids will love the skate park, climbing wall and paintball.
The house has vaulted ceilings throughout and views from almost every room, plus a comfortable deck. The living room boasts a gas-burning fireplace - perfect for cool nights.

Upon arriving you will find an extensive book of everything to do at Wintergreen. From dining menus to less-traveled hiking trails, our personalized book includes activities both on and off the mountain. Our goal is for you to be comfortable and to have a truly relaxing stay in the mountains.

Map & Owner's Profile
Cozy Home with Beautiful Views, Ski in/Out!
Year Purchased: 2002
Why the Owner Chose Wintergreen
Tom has wanted a "house in the mountains" since he was a kid, and we've always loved Wintergreen's natural and peaceful setting. It's a true getaway. And not only has our family loved being at Point of View over the years, but we've had the pleasure of hosting more than 300 guests who have enjoyed all four seasons at the resort. Some from as far away as England, Ireland and even Saudi Arabia!
We encourage you to check out our 50+ guest comments. And please ask us as many questions as you'd like about the house and resort. We want to make sure Point of View is the right choice for your mountain getaway.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Point of View offers ski in/out convenience - our front door is 50 feet from the Tyro slope. And our views of the Blue Ridge Mountains beyond the slope make the house perfect for all seasons. We are located on a cul de sac, so there is very little traffic and it's always quiet. There are 2 bedrooms with queen beds and 2 full baths on the main floor and a loft with 3 twin beds upstairs. The house is perfect for one or two families or a girls' or guys' weekend. Kids love the loft, especially the spiral stairs that lead up to it.

Family Christmas 2011

Our family had a wonderful Christmas due to this lovely, comfortable home. We felt right at home the minute we walked in. We had not spent Christmas together in 5 years (our son, daughter-in-law, daughter, son-in-law, and grandson) It was very spacious and was very private. Our children live in eastern Virginia and this was a very easy drive for everyone. Not much snow, but we did enjoy all of the aminities that Wintergreen has to offer. Beautiful views, expecially the doe that grazed on the ski slope. I would recommend this home to any family looking for a nice vacation. PY - St. John, USVI

Wonderful mountain home in Wintergreen! The house was great with all the amenities and the view was spectacular. We would definitely rent it again in any season of the year...lots to do in the area! The owners were so accomodating and they had the best price on the mountain for a 3 bedroom home with lots of room.....if you go in the winter, it is ski in, ski out....can't beat it!

My husband and I wanted to take our 5 month old for a little fall color weekend. We found Point of View online and had a very pleasant email exchange with the owners. The description of the listing accurately reflects the home's cleanliness and modern amenities. Excellent view of the sun rising (nice when you're waking up with an early to rise baby) and easy access to hiking trails. We enjoyed the place so much we worked out staying an additional night. We mostly cooked in the home (kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, etc.) but on our way out of town we stopped at Wild Wolf Brewing Company for lunch. The fried chicken salad was unique and very good. We hope to return with my sister's family in the near future. I would absolutely recommend this place to a friend.
Owner response:Thanks for the nice note. Kudos to you guys for all the adventurous hikes you did with a 5-month old! Hope to have you and your sister's family back again soon!

Had a great time with our grandkids Oct 28 to 31. It snowed and all of the trees were covered in sparkling ice. We enjoyed walking on the ski slope, especially in the snow, which was a very short distance away. The house was very cozy and nicer inside than the pictures. We cooked most of our meals and everything we needed was in the kitchen. Lots of supplies were there although we took our own. The owners were very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I, our teen daughter and her best friend stayed for 2 days in the beginning of August. This was our first VRBO rental so we were a bit nervous---our emails were replied to promptly and in a friendly manner, which made us feel good about Sue and Keith. We left 100 degree weather for 80 degrees in the mountains which was terrific. The house is in a beautiful setting overlooking one of the slopes. The photos are spot on. It is well marked "Point of View" so we had no trouble finding it. When we walked in I was struck by how clean the house was--in the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and other living areas; which made me feel really good about the rental. The living room is spacious with a great view, a gas fireplace, and tons of board games. The four of us had a blast playing pictionary and guestures. The kitchen was well stocked and very functional even thought it was small and mostly a one person cooking kitchen. I was perfectly fine with my husband making the meals! The beds are very comfortable-we all slept like logs. The girls had so much fun in the loft, watching DVD's, playing board games, and talking. They said that the loft was a bit hot when we got there but it cooled down nicely with the numerous fans they have in the loft. There were several ceiling fans and floor fans on the 1st floor as well. There is a very powerful window/wall air conditioner in the kitchen/eating area which really cools the kitchen and living space down quickly. (We used it briefly one afternoon when it got a bit hot out as we had been out most of the day.) We ate breakfast on the deck which was delightful! The girls went tubing at Discovery Ridge which is very close to where the house is. All four of us played mini golf as well. None of us had the nerve to try the Zip Line but it did look scarily fun. We really appreciated knowing exactly what we needed to bring. The towels and linens are provided. Seems that folks who rent sometimes leave some stuff behind for the next renter as there were already paper towel, and handsoap when we arrived. We still brought our own which would be recommended because you cannot count on these supplies being available. It is up to previous renter whether to leave some things or not. Sue and Keith are a pleasure to work with--very helpful, friendly, and very good communicators. The rental agreement was very reasonable and straight forward. We will definitely be back and whole-heartedly recommend this rental!

My college friend and I -- and our two families -- have gotten together here for the past two springs and have had a lovely time. The house faces one of Wintergreen's slopes and has a peaceful mountain view. It's quiet and in a convenient location to Wintergreen amenities, many in walking distance of the house. Each bedroom is nicely appointed, and the loft has three beds and room for an inflatable mattress. There is certainly room for the 8 of us. The deck is pleasant. Owners are responsive and helpful -- we would definitely recommend to a friend or relative.

The house is great. We're stayed at Dobie condos for the same price and gotten noisy, dirty, smaller condos. Point of View is a great retreat for a family or 2 with kids. My son loved the loft. Will definitely be back next year. Had a slight problem getting gas fireplace going, but owner was very responsive in walking me through getting it restarted.

This home was perfectly located on the side of tyro mountain. we were able to ski in and out , stopping for lunch and avoiding the crowds at the restaurants. Is was nicely decorated with a warm fire to keep the whole house toasty warm. I especially appreciated the well stocked kitchen. we had a great time at wintergreen and hope to return to Point of View again soon!
