Recreation at Refreshing Mountain We truly want to inspire you to have an intentionally restful experience while staying with us. For all of those health minded people, we have spaces to play basketball to Frisbee and soccer to baseball. For those who want something more low key take a hike on our nature trail, fish in our pond, or in the summer catch some rays by the pool. In addition to the sports spaces, we have an extensive playground and gaga pit for those rambunctious kiddos. Click on the pictures below and learn more of the fun to be had!
