About this property

Outdoor hot tub, bonfire pit, picnic area & indoor soaking tub, foosball, games

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.

Great ski stay

Great cabin for staying just a few minutes from Hidden Valley which is perfect for young children. Also went to Seven Springs twice. Plenty of room in the mudroom to dry off gear and the hot tub was lovely. Would stay again!

We loved the Mountain house!

My family and I had a great time staying at the Blue Mountain house. It had everything we needed. We loved coming home from skiing and getting to use the hot tub. There was a closet with games, puzzles and toys which were fun for my 5 and 2 year old boys.

Cozy house with a really nice hot tube. Our family felt relaxed and at home here.

We rented the house to stay at while skiing at seven springs. It was a nice drive to and from the ski resort to the house. The mud room was great to keep all the ski gear. The hot tub eased our sore muscles from skiiing and the beds were comfy!

Wonderful ski weekend

Our family had a great ski weekend at Blue Mountain Retreat. It was perfect for our group of 6. Some of us went skiing at Seven Springs, some of us went to Somerset for shopping and hung out at the cabin playing games, puzzling, reading, etc. Communication with the owner was fantastic, she always responded quickly, answering every question and assisting with any issue we had (which were few & minor). We would definitely come again and would recommend this home to others.

Weekend Seven Springs ski

Ski trip with our young adult boys. The place was nicer and bigger than we anticipated. Everything was clean and well taken care of. We greatly enjoyed the hot tub at night. Easy drive to Seven Springs. Skiing was great. Driveway was icy, not much owners could do. Communication was great with lots of local tips for food, etc.Definitely would return.

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!

Great Family get away

The house was very clean. There is lots to do. There is darts and foosball, the hot tub and the big soaking tub. My family used everything there and had a great time. The host is super nice and answers questions asap! Would definitely stay here again. There are very close neighbors but no one was renting their other cabin while we were there. We were able to bring our dog along too which was great!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Dietz

Host profile image
My husband and I love to rehab properties and keep a few gems to ourselves that we like to share with others. We love being close to hiking, biking, skiing, restaurants and that feeling like you are going back to a simpler time. Playing board games and hanging out with friends and family around a campfire make all of the hard work renovating houses worth it. Please come enjoy our home that we lovingly and creatively reinvented.

Why they chose this property

The Laurel Highlands has everything you need to enjoy the outdoors! Trails abound: hiking, biking, cross country and downhill skiing, and snowmobiling. The property is perfectly situated between all 3 resorts (Hidden Valley, Seven Springs, and Laurel Mountain) so that you can explore one every day or even two in one day! Dining close by includes options for every palate from a cash only mom and pop pizza shop to fine dining and everything in between. Just ask us about our favorite recommendations. We'd be happy to help you!

What makes this property unique

Relax in this spacious recently renovated cabin in either the outdoor hot tub or indoor soaker tub spa bathroom. Terraced backyard includes a picnic table, grill, and bonfire circle too!
