This is our second stay in this house. It was back by popular demand from our grandkids. It really is a fun place with all the tunnels, giant lego and block room, and super garage play room. Never a dull moment or lack of things to do. We also enjoyed the hike to the labyrinth and the solitude of the location. The hosts have provided everything you will need. Grab the kids/grandkids and head on over!

The listing on VRBO is accurate, but does not capture this true amazing property. Zen. That is the one word to describe this property. It is the best VRBO for entertaining family and friends. So much room and many activities. We especially loved the meditation garden. We loved the hot tub and all of the activities and rooms. The rain was no problem. The secret passages and slides are amazing. 2 refrigerators and 2 sets of washer/dryers, 4 bathrooms and 8 bedrooms. It was perfect for our family. Hopefully we can visit again next year. We felt complete welcomed. We would highly recommend this property for your next family vacation.

We had a lot of fun here even with our group of all adults. Lots of room, comfy, large fridge plus extra fridge, beautiful grounds, love the tunnels and indoor court to play games in. Thank you

This is the second year our friend group and kiddos have stayed here. What a great find. The amazing view and property are only surpassed by the creative design of the house. Kids of all ages can stay busy playing while the adults do the relaxing.

Beautiful home that is perfect for large and extended families with children of all ages. With 7 kids ages 6 and under and 8 adults there was even room for more. With a large finished heated garage, toys and games galore there was exercise and fun for the kids regardless of the weather. The indoor tunnels and slides throughout the house were endlessly exciting for the kids. With the outdoor hot tub, trails, indoor foosball, ping pong, and pickleball the adults were just as excited. Would definetly go again.

We booked this amazing property for our annual holiday family gathering, and it was absolutely perfect! The house was a kid’s paradise, with tunnels and slides and secret passages. Plus, a foam block room, Lego room, garage with endless possibilities for games and riding toys, the amenities are just too many to list! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, and Dave and Patti were the best hosts. There were 14 of us, toddlers to teens, parents and grandparents, and we all totally enjoyed our experience. And to top it all off, we had snow! We definitely recommend, and can’t wait to return!

Slides, soft foam blocks, pickle ball, lovely nature trail - what is not to love!!? We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are already planning a return trip!!

Oh my goodness, everything about this property is amazing! Our group of 13 adults (all family) enjoyed everything, even the blocks room and the slides. We enjoyed the walk to the labyrinth, we played tons of pickle ball, we had a Thanksgiving feast that was easily prepared in the spacious kitchen. The owners even had someone drop off a roasting pan for us Thanksgiving morning, how thoughtful is that?! The home is impeccably clean and comfortable, the furnishings and decor are nice, there is ample room to spread out, play games, and visit, and we truly did not want for anything. We've stayed in dozens of short term vacation rentals over the years and Blue Mountain Retreat just may be our favorite. Thank you, Patti and Dave!

The house is so good and have lot of stuff that make the kids excited. House is well maintained and very clean. we really love the stay and will prefer to stay again and again.

Wow. Truly an amazing property. Unique, obviously, but also has all the comforts of home and then some. A great place to gather with family and friends.

This location is very comfortable and has everything you need to relax and enjoy yourselves. David is always so easy to work with and keeps the place in excellent condition. We have stayed here before. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time. The home was exactly as described and the homeowners were very attentive. Exceeded our expectations

This home is a fantastic location for families of all ages. There are activities for all ages, and our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There are also beaches nearby, and we enjoyed time in Olympic National Park, as well as Port Townsand. The house and yard is well maintained, and we enjoyed even the small touches such as the closet full of games and marshmallow roasting sticks.

Our family now with 4 grown sons plus spouses plus 7 grandkids is always challenged by finding the right vacation spot. This summer was extra special, with my wife and I celebrating our 50th anniversary. And this was as good a spot as any we’ve found. As the many positive reviews note, the play areas in this half-playhouse, half-comfortable expansive regular house, was as good as it could have possibly been. Dave and Patti were terrific hosts. It helped that they live next door. The well-stocked kitchen has many, many drawers, cabinets etc., and when we couldn’t find something, they quickly texted where the desired item was located. When the two corkscrews broke—pretty cheap ones—they offered to Venmo us the cash to buy one, since they had left for a bike excursion. Again, immediately responsive. One of my sons and I are serious cyclists and they provided us with tips on good routes. The only complaint we had was the AC was not adequate to deal with the unusually hot spell during our stay. But it was unusually hot in that location. 10 miles away it was 15 degrees cooler! The walking paths on the property were delightful, reflecting how much work the owners invested in it, the house where they raised their kids. Sons loved the large mowed lawns for their ritualistic whiffleball games. 5-stars for property and owners.

Our family (of approx. 20) has had a reunion every year near a National Park for over 20 years. This vacation "home" was absolutely the BEST property we have ever rented. The property was very clean, had a well-equipped kitchen, and was spacious and comfortable for large gatherings - inside and out! This property is a kid's paradise with specifically designed areas for children. It was lovely to meet the owners, they were welcoming, helpful, and made us feel like family. The property was so amazing that a family would truly never need to leave the property to have a wonderful adventure.

This property was the best! We brought our 3 adult children and their young families together for a most memorable experience. Eight adults and 7 kids from 1 year to 8 years. The many secret passages and slides between dedicated playroom delighted the children and kept them happily engaged for hours. The adult big kids had fun too! Beds were comfortable and the home well appointed. Be sure to hike to the labyrinth and meditation garden 😊.

Perfect for our family reunion. Kids loved the tunnels and the outdoors. Adults loved the many gathering areas.

The hosts thoughtfully supplied everything needed for a large gathering and in ample amounts. We appreciated the cleanliness and an atmosphere that showed that this property was a rental property but also a well loved home. This is our fourth family reunion and the best. Providing the tunnels and garage toys for the children highlights the hosts values for families. Children’s influence in a family is much greater than their size.

This stay more than met our expectations. The kids had so much fun playing in the secret passageways, riding bikes, building with blocks and Duplos, and exploring outside. There was enough room for everyone to spread out, and the kitchen had everything we could have wanted. This place is very out of the way, but it was the perfect spot for a few days of relaxation.

Our group of 7 adults and 8 kids (age 2-17) had a BLAST here for a long weekend! There is so much to do: zip line, trails, slides, toys, blocks, games, swing, hot tub… we could have stayed a whole week and never left the property. The labyrinth was also a favorite, even for the kids. It is almost other-worldly, tucked in a beautiful quiet beech grove in the ravine below the house. Already planning our trip back!

We had 8 adults, 4 children (3-6 years old), and one infant on our trip. There was entertainment for all of is. We had brought our own games and never needed to pull them out. The weather was on and off rainy but no one was ever bored being inside. It was a treat to hear the kids say, “this is the coolest house ever!”

This house was the perfect getaway for multiple families to all come together for a weekend! It was also a kids’ paradise with all the toys, slides, hidden tunnels, Lego room, block room and open garage for pickle ball tournaments! We will absolutely be coming back to make this an annual tradition! Highly recommend for families with kids ages 3-10!! It also had a very peaceful walk down by a stream to a labyrinth walk. Loved this property!!

This is a wonderful property that we highly recommend. We have 4 grandchildren ages 5-8 and this house was perfect for them. All the tunnels, slides, hallways, and secret rooms had them so excited and entertained. With the playroom/garage they were constantly engaged in one activity or another. Foosball, ping pong, pickle ball, zip line, even the adults got to play. In addition, all the things that appeal to adults were there also. The home is clean and well maintained. Rent it, you won't be sorry!

Spot on dream come true for families and small children. The TV barely was ever turned on… so much to do.

Wow! This large and beautiful property was more than we needed--but I'm still glad we came to Blue Mountain Retreat to celebrate my husband's 70th. The place has everything you could want for a much larger group than ours (we rented for 8 adults and one child). I would especially recommend it for multiple families with children because the in house slides, and climbing passageways between floors, soft block room for fort-building, the zip line, pickle ball court, and more--was so unique and over the top! We adults enjoyed the large and well-stocked kitchen and dining areas, the hot tub, the labyrinth and trails through the woods, and the beautiful view and grounds. We will have to return when our offspring have more grandchildren! Highly recommended!
