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. There is an additional $30 per night pet fee when fur family joins you at the cabin. Please be sure to check the pet box when booking to pay during your reservation, or you will need to pay it before your arrival.

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.

Amazing spot for a weekend ‘retreat.’
Our family enjoyed a perfect fall weekend at the Blue Mountain retreat. Amazing location with close proximity to so many great hiking trails! Very clean home with all the amenities one would need. We loved grilling, looking at the stars from the hot tub, and making s’mores over the fire. The owner was extremely responsive and helpful. Highly recommend and hope to visit again in the future! Our entire family had a wonderful time!

Friends sharing house
The house was very clean, fully stocked with kitchen appliances and tools, and located on a quiet street. It was a reasonable price since we split the cost between 7 of us. If you were to reserve it for 8 people, make sure that some of you are okay with sleeping in bunkbeds. There is a queen and king size bed and 2 sets of bunk beds (4 beds). Lisa, the owner, was excellent with communicating information.

Blue Mountain Retreat is a winner!
We loved staying at Lisa’s home in the mountains of Somerset. The house was beautiful - updated and very comfortable. Lisa was knowledgeable of the area and communication with her was quick and efficient when we needed to ask her a question about something. The backyard was perfect! The fire pit is spacious and the hot tub was very clean and relaxing. The location was great, too. Kooser state park is basically across the street and provides a beautiful walking path along the lake. Laurel hill state park is a very short drive and was absolutely gorgeous. We also visited Idlewild which was an easy 35 minute drive. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back again in the future!

This is an awesome property! We stayed with 8 guys and slept comfortably with plenty of space to sleep and plenty of space to hang out as a group. The backyard was great with all the amenities. Lisa is amazing! She is extremely thorough and makes sure you have everything you need. Look no further if you have 2 groups wanting play golf at 7 springs and hidden valley!

July 4th getaway
My family had a wonderful holiday weekend at Blue mountain retreat! Lisa the host was super responsive and helpful. She left a long list of suggestions for the area and there was no shortage on things to do. The house was lovely, well kept, spacious, and pleasantly secluded away without being too far from the major road. I especially love the mudroom because it kept all our outdoor items outside of the main house. Along with my family was my two dogs who enjoyed the space as well. There was plenty of room for them to sniff outdoors and plenty of space to set their crates up within the house. I will definitely recommend this to anyone in the future whether summer, fall, winter, or spring!

Our time at the Blue Mountain Retreat was very pleasant. There was enough space for the 4 of us to hang out and be together but also have our own space. The hot tub worked so well and was located in a nice shady spot off the back door. This is a wonderful spot for a weekend getaway and I would definitely stay there again!

The cabin is spotless with great amenities: hot tub, grill, fire pit, games, and a soaking tub to relax after hiking on the nearby trails!

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.

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!
