Refreshing Mountain Retreat and Adventure Center

We did not stay there: we zip lined (The challenge option– 6 lines)
I’m 31; went with 2 sister and friend my age. Definitely nerve wrecking at times for a first timer, but lots of fun. We were put in a group with 4 other people. If at any point we got nervous, we looked at the 6 year old in our group and trooped on.
The 2 guides who we with us were friendly and made us feel safe and secure. The had great customer service skills.
It took 1hr 45 mins to get through the who course. I would do this again, but on a warmer day!

So their PR team reached out to me, and we discussed the situation. There was some miscommunication on both parts, but they were very understanding and offered to let us reschedule. We will be going this weekend, and plan on leaving an updated review of what we think of the course then! Outstanding customer service!

I really enjoyed my weekend retreat here at Refreshing Mountains. The cabins are newly built and fully furnished. The cabins can accommodate up to 6 – 8 people comfortably. There are two bedrooms, one has a full size bed and the other has two bunk beds. There is a sofa/​futon and also a chair which also reclines down to use for sleeping purposes. The kitchen is fully equipped with a full size refrigerator, stove, microwave oven, coffee maker, cookware, drinkware and cutlery and not the plastic cutlery lol. There were plenty of linen and also an iron. The food was pretty good at the dining hall and the staff was great. I would definitely like to come here again because my experience was amazing.

We took a group of five on the Challenge Adventure Course, and are already planning to go back to try the Aerial Excursion Tour. It was worth every penny.
Our guides Nolan and Ben were fun while still being professional and courteous, the equipment well maintained, and the course was great. Anyone trying this — totally go for the Nestea Challenge (backward fall hands-​free from zipline #3). It’s fun. Trust me. =)

Just celebrated an anniversary here and it was an awesome experience! The place is beautiful and staff exceeded all expectations. We started the day with the Challenge Course with Michael and Nolan as our guides, and then completed the Aerial with Nate and Katrina. Thanks to all of their coaching we made it out alive!
I would recommend doing both courses in the same day to get the full experience. Each had different zip lines with speeds and heights that varied. To complete both courses it took about 4 hours.
Next time we visit I plan on making a weekend out of it to enjoy the rest of the camp (pool, campfires, etc). Definitely will be back!

I went there this past Friday to go zip lining and was very impressed. The area was well kept and very clean. I have a fear of heights and my instructors David and Quint were very patient and helpful. They answered everyone’s questions, were personable and nice, and even gave us a history about the area. I will definitely return again.

Loved the Zip Line Challenge Course! Thank you Nolan and Matt you were great guides! Highly recommend this!

I’m not a huge daredevil but when I saw the chance to go zip lining, I was in. There was a deal on Groupon for a group of three to go zip lining so why not give it a try.
It was a bit of a hike from Philly especially since traffic is usually pretty bad getting here. But we made it to our 3 pm reservations. The camp itself is nice and looks pretty fun. We passed bunks (like a real camp! I’m excited because I was never allowed to go to summer camp) on the way in. There was a water park/​pool, a basketball court and a playground. Checking in was a breeze.
We had two gentlemen guiding us through the zip lining tour. Super nice guys with fun personalities; they really helped calm our nerves. Myself and two girlfriends are afraid of heights and they talked us through. The guys were really thorough in explaining our safety and the equipment and off we went! The actual zip lining course was great, pretty relaxing zipping. The difficulty was the adventure course and climbing. It’s optional but try walking across a wobbly log 50 ft in the air!
We zipped from 5 different platforms and the guides were even nice enough to record my group zipping with an iPhone. Such a fun experience! I’ll have to try the rock climbing wall next time. The only thing that sucks is the drive and the traffic.
