Great property to stay with family; super kid friendly and they have complimentary amenities like pack n’ plays, booster seats and security gates. Staff is super friendly and goes above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Great mountain location! Easy and beautiful drive to Arnold. The resort was family friendly and had great amenities for the kids. Indoor pool and hot tube was great for the day it was raining. The pool table, theater and game room kept our kids entertained and happy. The lodge we stayed at was perfect for a family of 4 and located right next to a creek. The drive to get some snow play was only another 15-20 minutes. It was such a relaxing getaway for our family. We highly recommend!
What a beautiful place, the staff are very friendly and kind. Check in was a breeze, and the three days we stayed were wonderful. Can't wait to book our next trip.
We enjoyed our stay at Mountain Retreat. It is like staying in a cabin in the mountains but without the extra expense of booking and cleaning fees. Also, It is close the Murphys, which has lots of dining options and skiing at Bear Valley.

Nice property. Clean, comfortable & quiet. Clubhouse has a pool, hot tub, & sauna. There's also a small game room & movie room. We went for a couples get away, but will definitely be back with family. The property is close to big trees, national park, Murphy's, Columbia, Jamestown, lots to do in the area. The bar and Grill at the golf course it's nice for a casual meal.
First I want to say that the property itself is beautiful and for the most part staff were helpful and friendly. In fact we hope to visit the property again. My middle of the road marks are because many of the amenities were not available - hot tub, sauna and gym. The gym being closed is mentioned on the website, however there was no mention of the other two. It was also not mentioned at check in. I saw a posted sign on the pool door about the hot tub. Which prompted me to ask about the sauna because it was a cold weekend and something we intended to utilize. The post is also a bit misleading showing photos of “trails” that don’t exist on property. It’s fine if you have to go to them, but there is no indication of that. I would suggest revising the post to take out photos of trails or better label them. But as I mentioned, regardless, it’s a beautiful little spot and one we hope to go back to when the amenities are all running!
What a great family accommodation! Room to spread out, a lovely deck and warm welcoming fireplace. Private and quiet.

Great place to stay
Excellent place for a home base. The place was perfect for our family and having a full kitchen was incredibly helpful. This was our second vacation staying here and it was even better this time. Clean, comfortable and spacious. The swimming pool and pool table added to our family fun. Would definitely recommend.
We enjoyed our stay at Mountain Retreat Resort. The unit we stayed in was clean, quiet and comfortable. The bed we slept in was very comfortable. We loved having the decks and patio to eat outside and enjoy the mountains. The unit we stayed in needed a little updating but it was nice and clean. We will be back. Make sure to read papers given to you at check in they have updated information that is not in their binder or online. Dishes must be put into dishwasher and turned on, all garbage needs to be taken out of wastebaskets and put in kitchen garbage can, all dirty towels need to be put into one bathtub only. Or there may be an charged extra. With that being said we loved our stay.
Awesome place! The lady at the front desk was really nice and helpful. Our condo was huge, clean, and very comfortable. Would highly recommend this place.

Friendly staff, great recommendations for food. Jewel of the Sierra's.
The staff are so friendly & kind - thanks to Sheila, Maryellen and Cherie for making my stay pleasant. The condo was so big, it was kind of big for a single person so I'll be back and bring my friends.
The building architecture and design is very retro - late 70s-early 80s. The high ceilings with beams, smoked glass and brass light fixtures -- when I turned on the TV, the program that was on was "Ancient Aliens Declassified" -- all combining to make me feel like a little kid on vacation. The washer/dryer were very new and worked great. I was able to dry my towel after visiting the jacuzzi/pool area. I only wish the bath tub was slightly bigger for a nice relaxing soak in my room.

Perfect stay
Our boys loved this weekend getaway. The apartment was comfortable, with a full kitchen and barbecue setup across our door. The place itself was quiet and kid friendly.
What a hidden gem! The property is beautiful, the staff is very friendly and kind and all the amenities were very very clean. Can't wait to book our next trip here.
Pool and hot tub CLOSED. This was not indicated on the Expedia site and was a big reason for booking this particular property; the indoor pool and hot tub. Supposedly, the hot tub is out of commission for the next few months. They had a nice pool table and some old DVD movies to check out, also games and foosball which was fun. Also, sleds available to check out . The property itself was like taking a step back in time, in the late 80’s early 90’s with decor. I personally thought it was neat but some people might not like that it’s outdated. Another downside was back deck could have been shoveled. The steps were very icy and slippery which could be a hazard. Personally, I think I would’ve given it five stars if the indoor pool and hot tub were working.

It was absolutely beautiful in the mountains. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff is very friendly and helpful.
The name of Mountain Retreat is perfect for this resort. Our stay was during a winter snow storm and it was perfect, snow covering everything, a very short distance to the local lifts and I would definitely stay here again. Beautiful property.
This was the perfect getaway spot. The kids loved the pool and spa at the clubhouse. We took advantage of the games and movies they had available to borrow. The condos were super cute and had everything we needed for our getaway.
We booked this timeshare for over Christmas is was wonderful dated but clean, 3 levels so if handicap woud be difficult, but activities are plentiful, really good location to Big Trees State park :)
