Returning Visitors

This was our second time staying here and it was just as great as the first! The kids and adults alike were excited to venture in the tunnels and enjoy the multitude of play spaces. In addition, the house sits on such a beautiful property with hiking trails, disc golf, volleyball, and even a zipline. It's also in a beaitiful area and we took advantage of nearby whale watching tours. We'll definitely be back again!

Perfect for a large group with kids!

We've stayed here twice now with a big group of friends, including 10 kids between ages 5-12. The kids have a blast in all the play rooms and tunnels, while the parents enjoy lounging in the comfortable living rooms. Love that the kitchen is well setup for feeding a large group.

Lovely

Fantastic for kids and family. There are kid-sized hallways and tunnels inside the house connecting various playrooms! Kids were in heaven. A little confusion about the unlock code for the door, but the hosts visited in person to welcome us.

Amazing Property

Beautiful home and property. My very large family stayed at this property for a 3 day getaway. We make an annual trip every year. It’s hard to find a property for our 20+ person group. This property has it all, tons for kids to do. We played baseball in the lower field, many rounds of volleyball on the beautiful volleyball area, fire pit area was lovely. We spent three nights and had no reason to even leave. All of my family has decided that this is a definite repeat property. David’s wife came over to ask if we had seen the Aurora Borealis the night before, beautiful area for such a cool experience. I never saw David personally, but as people were wandering around the property they ran into him. Always friendly and making sure that everything with the house was great. Cannot say enough good things about this place and we are excited to rent this again. Thank you

The perfect getaway

This is the second year we have stayed at this house and loved it. The tunnels and foam block room and lego room provide endless entertainments for children and adults alike. A great kitchen and all items are labeled, easy to find. Checkin and checkout process is easy and Dave is a great host.

Absolute dream

We had a blast! So many activities and absolutely gorgeous grounds. Kitchen is well stocked (except for olive oil - bring that!) and there are books, games, blankets and all the space you need when you’re not busy with tunnels and special rooms. We had some tiny kids with us and they definitely needed monitoring on the bigger slide and passageways. Four year olds were pretty ok on their own. We can’t wait to go back!

Fun and spacious house with tons to do

We loved this property. The house is huge and has tons of space for kids to play. Everything is well-stocked, from the kitchen to the games/puzzle closets. We also loved having the outdoor spaces, including the firepit, ravine trail, and hot tub. Dave was an extremely responsive and thoughtful host. We would happily stay here again!

Great vacation home!

Our group of 19 (including 10 kids, ages 4-10) had a great time here! The house had plenty of room for us all to spread out. The kids LOVED the playrooms and slides. The kitchen was well organized and had everything we needed to prepare lots of meals for our big group. We're looking forward to going back again next year!

Better than advertised!

Dave’s property is amazing. We had six adults and five kids between five and eight years staying at the home. The kids were off very happily playing somewhere inside or outside the house for 95% of the day!! The house is beautifully done, all the amenities you could want to find are included and the rest of the property is fantastic. The contact with Dave and his wife was easy and lovely. We can’t recommend this place enough - our kids have decided they want to come back to the ‘slide house’ every year as do us adults!

Haney Family Reunion

We have grandchildren ranging in age from 3-14. And a couple on the autism spectrum who don’t enjoy crowds. This place was perfect. Plenty of room for those of us that needed space and so many activities to keep the little ones occupied. The view, peace and quiet made it easy to unplug from work demands and instead of coming home from a Disney trip over stimulated and grouchy, we are rested and so thankful for our family! Dave & Gale made it possible. Thank you!

Wonderful and fully stocked

The house was absolutely stunning. Great location in the middle of nowhere with great views. Great bedrooms. The spacious kitchen was fully stocked and great to cook in for the 18 guests. For the toddlers there was a lot of entertainment with slides and the bikes in the garage. The teens were very excited about the jacuzzi. Everyone was sad to leave after the few nights we stayed and wanted to stay longer. Would absolutely come back in the future.

Better than Expected!

The house and property are outstanding. Multiple living and eating areas and things to do. Our group of about 18 with ages 2 months to 68 thoroughly enjoyed the house. We've rented many places over the years for our group and this house was by far the most well stocked, communications with the owner were great and all the options for various age groups to gather and play were beyond expectations.

Epic house for families

We LOVED our stay here! Our group ranged in age from granparents to infants and there was something for everyone! The indoor play spaces were amazing, but the amazing acreage and outdoor recreation was also a very pleasant surprise. We all agreed that the photos didn't even do this house justice. Thanks for a great stay!! We'll be back for sure!

Super fun house for kids, all that's needed for adults

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 Gales. Dave, Patti, Heather, Kaity, Taylor, Aubrey, Alyssa and Ellie. Together we built this home and look forward to years of returning and creating more happy memories.

Why they chose this property

Nestled In the hills between the straits of Juan De Fuca and the Hood Canal, Blue Mountain Retreat is the perfect destination for family and friends looking to relax, enjoy beautiful walks and bike rides through scenic country roads. Far enough out of town to escape the busy tourist feel but close enough to enjoy its amenities.

What makes this property unique

Located on 40 secluded acres. Trees, open field, a beautiful valley view and a ravine to explore. We bought this land in 1992 because it was on the end of a road with a ravine on one side and a beautiful valley view on the other . We love the privacy and park like setting. Our country home is 6000 sq.ft. of kid fun and adult relaxation. We are excited to share our home and look forward to all the memories created here as we come back with our family. With 3 sitting rooms and 3 interactive play rooms we offer both quiet and hours of exploration and creative fun for kids and adults. Come and unleash your kids imagination. Our meditation garden & labyrinth, accessed through the ravine trail have added to the serene quality of the property.
