Rent Point of View Retreat Facility

Breathtaking views – coupled with new, state-of-the-art facilities – provide a beautiful and ideal space for group meetings, conferences, trainings, special events, and celebrations. In close proximity to the nation’s capital, Point of View is less than 25 miles from Reagan National Airport and less than 35 miles from Dulles International Airport.

Breakthrough insights and connections often occur outside of traditional board rooms and classrooms. At POV, share a meal with colleagues around the dining room table, take a walk down to the waterfront, or take in the views from multiple gathering spots inside and outside our brand new facility. Using natural sunlight, energy efficient appliances, and repurposed and recycled materials, our new LEED-certified green building sits lightly amidst its natural surroundings.
