About this property
Outdoor hot tub & indoor soaking tub, bonfire pit, picnic area, foosball & more
Recently renovated, Blue Mountain Retreat is relaxing fall, winter, spring or summer. Located in the heart of Laurel Highlands about a mile from 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, 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 booking your reservation, or 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.

We had a wonderful stay at Blue Mountain Retreat! The house is in a great location, close to skiing. Everything was very clean when we arrived and the kitchen had everything we needed. The hot tub came in clutch after a full day of skiing, and the kids enjoyed the foosball table and other games in the house. We would definitely stay here again!
The host is great with communication (i.e. local recommendations, making sure our expectations were met when arriving, available and responsive throughout our stay, etc.) Cabin was roomy, clean and had everything we needed.
Lisa was an amazing host. The property was immaculate. Lisa’s recommendations for restaurants and things to do in the area were perfect. Her communication and attention to needs by far exceeded my expectations. I cannot wait to go back to visit.
This cabin has wonderful modern touches and amenities but still felt like a private retreat. Was a great location for going to the parks during the day and then coming back in the evening for some fire therapy and soaking in the hot tub. Host was very responsive and provided great details for enjoying the area. Would definitely consider returning for ski season.
The location to activities and nature combined with the amenities on site was perfect for our way too short weekend getaway. Would love to stay here again as our family has loved the Somerset area for a few years now.
Loved this place! The kitchen has everything you need, and the outside area was very nice. Picnic table, grill, fire pit and hot tub. Every part of the cabin was very clean, including the hot tub. Beds were very comfortable. We will definitely be back! Lisa was very responsive and gave a great list of restaurants and things to do in the area. Can't wait to enjoy more next time!
Our family had a wonderful time staying in the cabin for a ski weekend. The property is conveniently located 2 miles from Hidden Valley, 15 minutes from Seven Springs and 30 minutes from Laurel Mountain. Despite lots of snow, the roads and driveway were kept clear and accessible. The property has a beautiful backyard that backs up to trees, has a fire pit and a lovely hot tub perfect for relaxing after a day on the slopes. Everything was spotlessly clean. The first floor has a great open concept kitchen and living area. Bedrooms were comfortable. Bathrooms were well stocked with shampoo, fresh soap and hairdryers. We had a perfect weekend. Communication with the owner was quick and very helpful. Highly recommend!
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!
Great outdoor space! Awesome firepit & nice hot tub! Peaceful setting w tall trees. Nice remodeled kitchen w everything we needed. Open to spacious family room w comfy sectional. Beds were comfortable & it was nice to have A/C units in each bedroom. Host was very attentive & made sure we had everything we needed! Also great to have washer & dryer on site.
Lisa was the best communicator and hostess! She addressed any questions and provided a plethora of local activities. The house was relaxing and had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. Hot tub, fire pit, grill, darts, foosball, deep tub and lots of spaces to relax. The area has several areas to hike and explore. We visited flight 93 memorial and Falling Water. Definitely a great house to stay with your family!!
Great place, plenty of room to enjoy with family and friends. Hot tub was amazing after a long day of skiing or tubing. Would recommend if going to that area. Close to several ski resorts.
This was the best experience. Everything was exactly as stated, wifi was perfect, kitchen fully stocked. Hot tub was lovely. Peaceful setting. I just cannot say enough good things. Would absolutely stay here again.
Was a good place to stay with some friends who are okay with staying in the bunk beds. Hot tub was clean and fire pit was nice. Be sure to bring smaller firewood too. I’d recommend this place!
Our first vrbo experience was a great one! Spacious living room area and very clean! Owners were exceptional with response time and overall communication. Thank you for everything!
