Blue Mountain Retreat ~ a relaxing getaway with hot tub, bonfire pit & foosball

Recently renovated and under new property management, Blue Mountain Retreat is relaxing fall, winter, spring or summer. Located in the heart of Laurel Highlands within walking distance to Kooser State Park nestled between Hidden Valley, Seven Springs and Laurel Mountain ski resorts, this family and pet friendly cabin in the woods has everything you need to enjoy an outdoor getaway. Travelers have enjoyed this cozy home in the mountains as a solo rejuvenating escape for 1, a romantic getaway for 2, a family vacation, or a get together with friends/extended family.

Nearby attractions include hiking, biking, skiing, fishing, golfing, star gazing, bird watching, restaurants, spas and more. Enjoy the many trails and ponds nearby at Kooser (2 minute drive), Laurel Hill (7 minute drive) or Forbes (12 minute drive) State Parks. Bike the GAP trail at Rockwood just 15 minutes away. Check out the local resorts for food, golf, spas, ziplines, mountain biking, special events, skiing and more at Hidden Valley (5 minute drive), Seven Springs (17 minute drive), or Laurel Mountain (30 minute drive). Peruse the local towns of Somerset (15 minute drive), Ligonier (30 minute drive) or Ohiopyle (34 minute drive) for restaurants, shopping, white water rafting and trails. Local attractions also include Idlewild, Caddyshack, Living Treasures Animal Park, Laurel Caverns, Jennerstown Speedway, Fort Ligonier and more! Glade Pike Winery tasting room is just up the road with live music on Saturday nights as well. Check out laurelhighlands.com for more ideas.

Even though you will feel like you are in the middle of the woods in a peaceful setting, if you forget anything a gas station/convenience store is only a 2 minute drive away and a grocery store is only a 20 minute drive away. Once you settle in, you will enjoy a backyard with a picnic table, gas grill, bonfire pit, and hot tub or the spacious kitchen and spa soaker tub in the first floor bathroom. Excellent WiFi service will help you stay connected to friends, family, and work (Gasp! Only if necessary...you should be relaxing!) or allow you to finally binge watch that series you always wanted to see. A variety of games, foosball, and darts will help you stay entertained and unplug from screens too!

3 bedrooms and 2 baths accommodates a maximum of 8 people and 2 well behaved, house trained dogs each weighing 50 lbs or less.

If you have additional people or pets in your party, please message to inquire about also renting Mountain Grove (with indoor treehouse kid gaming room also accommodating up to 8 people. See VRBO.com/3615517 ) adjacent to Blue Mountain Retreat. Multiple families have enjoyed renting both cabins for relaxing family reunions or birthday celebrations.

The location off of 31 makes it easily accessible year round, but far enough off the road to be peacefully tucked in the woods. A limit of 3 cars per cabin has to be maintained because there is no overflow parking available nearby (AWD or 4WD vehicles during the winter months of snow are required for ease of access). Visitors should be accounted for in your reservation.

We cannot wait to host you! Feel free to reach out with any questions about additional attractions or inquiries.

Blue Mt. Retreat
We had a wonderful family weekend with 4 grandkids, their parents, and grandparents. Between the games, hot tub, foosball, and TV, the kids were happily entertained on our one rainy day. The furniture is comfortable, and space was roomy enough for 8 people to comfortably co-exist. The property is across the street from Kooser State Park, great hiking (with lake swimming in the summer). We were lucky to have 60+ degree weather in March, and were able to build a fire and roast marshmallows. The house is also dog friendly. Great weekend, great family memories. Thank you for sharing your property.

Great house, would recommend!
Very clean with all the necessities. Hot tub was great. Host was very responsive. Overall very happy with our stay. Water filter on the fridge didnt work which was not an issue for water because the tap was great but was a bummer for the ice machine. There was ice tray though, a simple extra touch would have been having them full of ice when we arrive so when we realized the ice maker was broken we still had ice instead of having to wait. But super minor thing and the place still definitely gets 5 stars. Would go back for sure.

Family Ski trip
Our stay at the Blue Mountain retreat was perfect! Plenty of space for our group and very close by the Seven Springs resort area where we skied for the two days we were there. The house was very clean upon arrival and the kitchen was well stocked and everything was easy to find. We all loved the hot tub too! Would definitely stay here again!

Great House!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Blue Mountain Retreat. The house was very clean, everything was easy to find, the kitchen had all the necessary things for cooking, the living area was spacious, communication with the owner was prompt, and the house is pet friendly. My kids really enjoyed the hot tub and hanging out at the fire pit. The only negative comment about the backyard is lack of privacy from the house next door, which wasn’t an issue for us since it was not occupied, but might be a consideration for some people. The location was good for driving to Seven Springs (easy 20 minute drive) for skiing and there is a local takeout pizza place close by that was pretty good. Overall it was a perfect house for a ski trip with friends and I would definitely stay there again!

Blue Mountain Retreat was perfect!
My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at Blue Mountain Retreat this past weekend. From the moment we arrived at the property, we were swept up in the ski cabin atmosphere while still enjoying the comforts of a fully modern home. We were very impressed with how close Hidden Valley Ski Resort was from the cabin. We also found Seven Springs and Laurel ski resorts a short, easy drive from the cabin. We were also impressed by the uniqueness of all three ski resorts. We were thankful it was easy to ski at all three, because each offered a unique experience. The Oakhurst Grille was very close to the cabin, and we found the food to be both delicious, varied, and reasonably priced. We also stopped by Giant Eagle, which was close by, and grabbed a few groceries for the cabin's modern kitchen. We utilized both the Kerig and drip coffee makers and found both easy to use and in great condition. We also used the oven and refrigerator, which were both in great condition and user-friendly. The hot tub and wooded yard were huge assets to this property. The hot tub was in perfect working condition. It was hot, and all of the jets were working. We also enjoyed the picnic table and fire-pit area. The cabin was set up remarkably well for skiers. We easily found places to hang our ski clothes and place our ski equipment. We also used the washer and drier since it rained during our visit. We were quickly able to wash and dry everything. The bed was comfortable, and there were a var

Nana’s Winter Weekend
My 7th year taking my 6 grandsons on a winter adventure. We absolutely loved this property. The living space was so comfortable for our group. Adequate bedroom/bathroom for 7 of us. The property was very clean and equipped with everything we could possibly need. Boys loved the hot tub, foosball, darts, and so many games. Lisa was amazing with the reservations and gave us all kinds of info to make sure our trip was successful. The best owner yet. Made such happy memories with my boys.
