I scheduled my daughters 25th birthday as a zipline experience with the Christmas Lights. I had never been but it is on my bucket list. It was the most wonderful experience ever! Everyone in our group loved it (my daughter-Eryka was the only that had ziplined before). A gentleman with the most fabulous voice sang happy birthday to her. Everyone was so patient and encouraging. The young lady that checked us in was a trip! Everyone was so friendly, warm, and welcoming from the first phone call to the good nights. I have told everyone about the experience and several people had never heard of your facility and had stated that they all plan to visit. They will not be disappointed! We will be back!

I had 4 people in my group, we did the 7-line aerial excursion. 1st time at refreshing mountain and 1st time zipliners for all 4 of us! I was very nervous, but even I ended with my last 2 zip lines flying upside down! My entire group had a blast! All thanks goes to our “tour guides” Alex and Scott, they were able to make us feel welcomed, comfortable, explained everything to us and helped us have a great time. We will definitely be back!

I can not say enough WONDERFUL things about my husband's and my first adventure ziplineing and the WONDERFUL guides (who's names I just can't remember one had the coolest Kit Kat socks on....hopefully that will help with knowing who they are.)
From the time we walked into the line (I with a huge fear of heights and overall not a inch of adventure seeking in my life) they were so professional, helpful and pure fun! This was one of the best experiences in my life! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Refreshing Mountain Retreat!!! They helped me more than I can say! I will forever be grateful for putting my trust & life in their hands.

I see testimonials about Mrs Mariel Ramsey how people get paid, so I decided to try her and now I can also say that she is the most honest woman I have ever met here. Since I started investing through her in forex and crypto trading, I get my income without any issues weekly,i invested $1000 and i made a successful withdrawal of $10,300 after 7 days of trading You can also be part of this great opportunity by contacting her and start earning weekly.

They made it extra fun and made us so comfortable given we were a little scared!

Refreshing Mountain Retreat is a great place to vacation. We rented a cabin for 4 days. Everything was amazing and the staff was wonderful. Lots of activities, places to explore, and quiet areas for those that just want to relax.

What a fun place! We did the zipline and ropes course tour that took about 1 1/2 hours. The guides were so nice, knowledgeable, and helpful, especially to those that needed extra assistance. The resort is beautiful and clean. I thought it was newer but our guide said it has been around since the 1980s. I highly recommend at least a day trip, or stay a few days. It is amazing.
