Our family uses Refreshing Mountain frequently, as our daughter has horse back riding lessons with Hannah and both our kids take swim lessons. It's a great family run, small business, that understands the importance and value of providing family fun opportunities for all ages.

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.

Wonderful experience. We went for a pool day 30 min drive but it was nice. The staff was wonderful. The children swimmed, played basketball and went to the playground. I will be planning to go back and do a weekend so we can hike and zip line. Definitely a great great family experience.

Maddison worked so hard pulling our group in and retrieving us when the line didn’t catch. She’s amazingly strong. We would recommend your facility and activities highly!

Coming to Refreshing Mountains has become an annual tradition for 3 years now. Great spacious cabins with private fire pits for night s’mores. Ziplining is always challenging and fun. Employees are all so very nice, friendly and professional. Love the pool esp the deep side with the diving board. You won’t be disappointed!

My 8 year old son and I loved this place. There's so much to do. We got the family 5 fun pack. We loved the ziplining. It was our first time. My son went twice. I chickened out after the first time. Lol! But it was a lot of fun. We'll definitely be going back for more of the other activities. All of the staff were really nice and helpful to us. We definitely recommended this place to a few people.

My family and I went yesterday and had the best time! My kids just turned 12 and 10- we went as a day trip for their birthdays. We did the fun pack at 11am and the 3:30pm aerial zip line excursion. We all enjoyed the ropes course, the pedal cars and the animals. My kids enjoyed feeding the alpacas. The Flying V zip line was a perfect practice zip line for the afternoon excursion we had planned. In between we ordered food from the cafe and the kids played in the playground. There is a really nice pool also but we did not use it. The aerial zip line was AMAZING! The kids loved it! They especially loved going upside down on the last 2 zip lines. If your kids love adventure I highly recommend Refreshing Mountain. Both packages were fun. If you only have time for one, the aerial zip line is like nothing you’ll find in the area. Highly recommend! The staff is all so wonderful and nice.

We went zip lining and did the $49 package. Me, my daughters ages 11,14 & 16, my brother, mom and dad all went. There were only two zip lines but it was great for everyone’s first time to get the experience. We did the obstacle course it was fun, a-little scary on some of the ones that moved a lot. I would definitely recommend this package for first timers, young children or anyone scared of heights. Our guides were good, I don’t remember their names (I’m bad with names) they were helpful and knowledgeable. Also very good with first timers!

We went to check out the pool for the first time this Saturday.I have two smaller kids 7 and 3 so the pool was a great size for them and they had a lot of fun. There is a diving board and a slide but my kids did not want to do that. They did have a great time playing in all the fountains. The two hour time block was also a great length of time for us. We will def be going back!

My daughter and I did the adventure course with ziplining and the wildlife experience. It was great - our ziplining guides - Peyton and Alyssa - were wonderful - they made sure we were safe and had fun.The wildlife experience was great as well - we saw a bunch of various critters and even got to watch a feeding.It's a beautiful location (they have cabins, a pool, and lots of other activities), definitely worth looking checking out.

I had a good experience at Refreshing Mountain. I rented a cabin for two nights. The cabin was pretty new, comfortable and clean. I do recommend bringing your own pots, pans and linens as what they provide is very limited e.g. only two pots one medium and one small, no bowls for mixing or strainer for pasta and they only provided flat sheets (not fitted).They have a lot of activities that will keep kids busy for sure. My daughter particularly enjoyed the pool.

The Challenge Adventure zipline course is a longer course, with great views and some optional challenges too. Our instuctors explained details well, with a sense of humor. Follow-up emails were outstanding. They really care. We waited out a t-storm and it went fine. DO read all rules. Hope to be back!

The individuals tending to the wildlife center and farm animals were really knowledgeable and I could tell they loved their jobs. They talked with us and answered any questions we had. Super nice and family friendly. My son (and I) had a blast and he already asked when we were going back! Wonderful place and I highly recommend checking it out.

This was our first time visiting Homeschool day at Refreshing Mountain. My 12 and 14 year old (daughter and son) had a great time and are looking forward to coming back soon. The best thing was to hear the kids say that after the Giant Swing and Obstacle Course, they could do anything. Such an amazing day.

My family and I recently stayed in one of the cabins at Refreshing Mountain. The cabin was very clean and comfortable, and we felt right at home in it! The staff at Refreshing Mountain are exceptional too, and we thoroughly enjoyed the zip lines, barnyard experience, and wildlife center. The guides were all super helpful and informative. I would highly recommend a cabin at Refreshing Mountain, and all 3 experiences we tried. Looking forward to our next visit!

My girls really enjoy this every year. I really appreciate the kindness of the staff and love how clean and beautiful the grounds are and you know the equipment is safe and not broken down. Kids felt safe and also like the staff knew what they were doing.My only suggestion is in the future giving the older kids the same opportunities as the younger ones. The little kids got to do the farm or horse stuff in the past and farm experience this year but the 10-11 and 12+ didn’t and honestly felt a little disappointed. Would be nice if families could go as a group to do stuff together rather then be split by age. We would Much rather be with all our friends which range from 6-13 vs being divided. Looking for to doing this again.

From start to finish it was a smooth process and a very fun and exciting day. The gentleman that headed this giant swing was hilarious and very engaging with the kids and the adults as well. I appreciate the fact that given enough time we adults who can sometimes act like kids were able to join in on the fun. I really enjoyed the gentleman that did the reptiles he was very informative and engaging plus pointed his whole talk back to the creation of God. The kids all had a great time and we appreciate all the work and all the effort that goes into organizing and implementing homeschool days. We appreciate the variety of courses and for the big kids the survival the gentleman was so kind. A nice finishing touch to the day was the certificates that were handed out in the beginning just to show that we participated in the homeschool day for our portfolios. Great job everyone!!!!😊

We had a great experience zip lining. The ropes course slowed us down but it was challenging and fun. We definitely hope to come back and do some more zip lining!! The staff was patient and kind. A child in our group was struggling with fear and they got her through it. Thanks for helping us make some happy memories!

The zip lining was absolutely amazing for our whole family!! The rope courses were intense. Soooooo thankful for the instructors and their patience. I personally could not have done it without them! We all felt so well taken care of especially when things got intimidating!!!

The team made this trip 5/18/21 very enjoyable! We had such a great time! The view during the zip line was amazing! I’m a person with great fear of heights and I’m so grateful for these guys taking the time to make us feel very comfortable and enjoy the experience. A.M.

Had a great time tonight doing the new Escape Room at Refreshing Mountain. Having experience with several escape rooms within our group, we were ALL very impressed with this unique and fun experience. This is one of the best escape room experiences for our family! Well worth the money! If you’re looking for a fun experience for your family or group, I encourage you to give it a try!! Great job

I would have given 5 stars BUT they no longer offer summer pool memberships. My family loves the pool, it's our favorite by far but we ended up spending over $1,000 last summer because we had to pay per person, per visit. Love the staff, cafe is great, no complaints other than the price if you want to attend daily all summer. Unfortunately we had to join a different pool this year, and needless to say, we are really missing our favorite summer spot.

My 8 year old son and I loved this place. There's so much to do. We got the family 5 fun pack. We loved the ziplining. It was our first time. My son went twice. I chickened out after the first time. Lol! But it was a lot of fun. We'll definitely be going back for more of the other activities. All of the staff were really nice and helpful to us. We definitely recommended this place to a few people.

My family and I went yesterday and had the best time! My kids just turned 12 and 10- we went as a day trip for their birthdays. We did the fun pack at 11am and the 3:30pm aerial zip line excursion. We all enjoyed the ropes course, the pedal cars and the animals. My kids enjoyed feeding the alpacas. The Flying V zip line was a perfect practice zip line for the afternoon excursion we had planned. In between we ordered food from the cafe and the kids played in the playground. There is a really nice pool also but we did not use it. The aerial zip line was AMAZING! The kids loved it! They especially loved going upside down on the last 2 zip lines. If your kids love adventure I highly recommend Refreshing Mountain. Both packages were fun. If you only have time for one, the aerial zip line is like nothing you’ll find in the area. Highly recommend! The staff is all so wonderful and nice.

We went zip lining and did the $49 package. Me, my daughters ages 11,14 & 16, my brother, mom and dad all went. There were only two zip lines but it was great for everyone’s first time to get the experience. We did the obstacle course it was fun, a-little scary on some of the ones that moved a lot. I would definitely recommend this package for first timers, young children or anyone scared of heights. Our guides were good, I don’t remember their names (I’m bad with names) they were helpful and knowledgeable. Also very good with first timers!

There is a diving board and a slide but my kids did not want to do that. They did have a great time playing in all the fountains. The two hour time block was also a great length of time for us. We will def be going back!

My daughter and I did the adventure course with ziplining and the wildlife experience. It was great - our ziplining guides - Peyton and Alyssa - were wonderful - they made sure we were safe and had fun.The wildlife experience was great as well - we saw a bunch of various critters and even got to watch a feeding.It's a beautiful location (they have cabins, a pool, and lots of other activities), definitely worth looking checking out.
Fabi Aleman
03:30 01 Jun 22
I had a good experience at Refreshing Mountain. I rented a cabin for two nights. The cabin was pretty new, comfortable and clean. I do recommend bringing your own pots, pans and linens as what they provide is very limited e.g. only two pots one medium and one small, no bowls for mixing or strainer for pasta and they only provided flat sheets (not fitted).They have a lot of activities that will keep kids busy for sure. My daughter particularly enjoyed the pool.

The Challenge Adventure zipline course is a longer course, with great views and some optional challenges too. Our instuctors explained details well, with a sense of humor. Follow-up emails were outstanding. They really care. We waited out a t-storm and it went fine. DO read all rules. Hope to be back!

My family and I recently stayed in one of the cabins at Refreshing Mountain. The cabin was very clean and comfortable, and we felt right at home in it! The staff at Refreshing Mountain are exceptional too, and we thoroughly enjoyed the zip lines, barnyard experience, and wildlife center. The guides were all super helpful and informative. I would highly recommend a cabin at Refreshing Mountain, and all 3 experiences we tried. Looking forward to our next visit!

My girls really enjoy this every year. I really appreciate the kindness of the staff and love how clean and beautiful the grounds are and you know the equipment is safe and not broken down. Kids felt safe and also like the staff knew what they were doing.My only suggestion is in the future giving the older kids the same opportunities as the younger ones. The little kids got to do the farm or horse stuff in the past and farm experience this year but the 10-11 and 12+ didn’t and honestly felt a little disappointed. Would be nice if families could go as a group to do stuff together rather then be split by age. We would Much rather be with all our friends which range from 6-13 vs being divided. Looking for to doing this again.

I appreciate the fact that given enough time we adults who can sometimes act like kids were able to join in on the fun. I really enjoyed the gentleman that did the reptiles he was very informative and engaging plus pointed his whole talk back to the creation of God. The kids all had a great time and we appreciate all the work and all the effort that goes into organizing and implementing homeschool days. We appreciate the variety of courses and for the big kids the survival the gentleman was so kind. A nice finishing touch to the day was the certificates that were handed out in the beginning just to show that we participated in the homeschool day for our portfolios. Great job everyone!!!!😊

We went to refreshing mountain for a homeschool field trip, it did not disappoint. The grounds were well cared for , and beautiful. The staff was so nice and great with the children. I loved the family friendly atmosphere and faith based approach. The only downside is it’s far from us, if it wasn’t we would surely be visiting more often!

It was so serene. Just be prepared to exercise because the word mountain isn't a suggestion.

We've been here several times and the kids always ask when we are going back. So many activities to try and things to see. The grounds are clean and all of the staff are cheerful and helpful.

I would have given 5 stars BUT they no longer offer summer pool memberships. My family loves the pool, it's our favorite by far but we ended up spending over $1,000 last summer because we had to pay per person, per visit. Love the staff, cafe is great, no complaints other than the price if you want to attend daily all summer. Unfortunately we had to join a different pool this year, and needless to say, we are really missing our favorite summer spot.

Felt wonderful on a hot day but not what I'm looking for. I'd really like a half hour to swim laps but it's always too crowded to do that. Would love if they'd earmark a time for that.

Buen lugar pero no tienen comidas solo ice cream, snack y candies me hubiera gustado q tuvieran hamburger hot dogs french fries with cheese.
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.

This facility is beautiful and clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. Our ziplinine guides Maddison and Peyton were wonderful, kind and engaging. Maddison worked so hard pulling our group in and retrieving us when the line didn’t catch. She’s amazingly strong. We would recommend your facility and activities highly! Thanks for providing us with a day of birthday celebrating zip line fun!!!

My 11 year old grandson & I were at Refreshing Mt 11/6/21 for the Flying V zip line and ropes course. It was a great challenge for me and if Madelyn, on of the staff, weren't there I'd never gave made it through. She encouraged me and helped me all the way. GREAT staff!! I highly recommend this place. My grandson loved it too!

We rsvp for 10am.4 kids between ages 9 and 13 and 2 adults. We had so much fun at the ziplines and the elevated obstacle course. The first level of the obstacle course is tricky but easy, the 2nd level a little harder for us but still doable 😂. We didn't wait much in line. The staff was friendly and fast. The place was very nice and clean. The animal exhibitions were very nice as well.

We had a great experience zip lining. The ropes course slowed us down but it was challenging and fun. We definitely hope to come back and do some more zip lining!! The staff was patient and kind.
