The play room offers a Little Tyke climber with slide that is easily used by the kids and the parent chasing them!
There is a play kitchen, food, and child sized table and chairs. The creative child will enjoy painting at the easel and once it's dry, hang it up on the wall. Can you find the hidden area under the stairs? The kids will find car track, vehicles and blocks. Upstairs, thousands of lego's as well as Brio tracks and trains are available for hours of enjoyment.
Finally, the Summerhill Family Retreat Home is baby-proofed with safety plugs in the outlets and safety latches on the pantry door and under the kitchen sink. These latches are easily removed, if necessary.
Your family can spend time together around the fireplace, in the kitchen, on the expansive deck or you can find a quiet place to read by yourself. Experience Summerhill Family Retreat today!

We are very impressed with the house layout specially the main floor. The kitchen is spacious and had most of the spices we need, including rice! There's free wi-fi and a computer that we used during the 3 days of our stay. The house is clean, the beds are comfortable, bathroom towels are fresh and white :) The neighborhood is quiet, property has a very nice view of the mountains and conveniently located to shopping. The owners are easy to deal with, refund of deposit is fast too. Our family had a great Easter weekend in this house and will definitely consider renting it again in the future.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, adventure seekers.

Stayed for the weekend - 5 couples with 6 children. Great house, lots of room, very well stocked kitchen. Was raining so we made the most of the kitchen, eating and fireplace area - all one large room that was perfect for socializing while the youngest kids took advantage of the play area. Everyone enjoyed.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, girls getaway, families with young children.

We rented this space for my family, a total of 20 people, for my father's 60th birthday, and it worked out wonderfully! There were toys in every room, which kept the 7 kids incredibly entertained. The property is very well maintained, and the space is beautiful! I also have to mention how amazing that kitchen was. Anything we needed was there. I can't tell you how many times I overheard someone say, "I love this kitchen!" or "I want to live here." Thank you so much!!!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, girls getaway, families with young children.

I stayed in this home as apart of a retreat. I found the home beautiful, spacious and very meditative place to be. Although we did not have any children with us it has great spaces for kits to play and run around. I think my only negative feedback was that I stayed in the downstairs bedroom off the kitchen and found the bathroom at night time quite cold. But I am not sure if we were making use of the heater properly.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, girls getaway, families with young children.

The house was clean and well maintained. Quite spacious and didn't feel cramped eventhough there were 10 other people in the house. It was a great location for a women's retreat weekend. I liked that there was an activity jar of things to do. It looked like there were some hiking trails around the house, but was unable to do any hiking because of the weather. We did not have children at the location, but this home was well suppied with toys and activities for children to do and it even has a "hidden" nook for the kids! Books, movies and games were also at this house in abundance. The one thing that I wish this house had was more of a view, otherwise, I thought it was great!Recommended for: Age 55+, girls getaway, families with young children.

Our group of golfing friends thought this was the best house we had ever stayed in. It was equipped throughout with quality furnishings from the kitchen to the bedrooms. We did all our eating at the house so having a well equipped kitchen was important to us. This place exceeded our expectations. Everything worked and everything we needed was there. We'll certainly try to get back to Summerhill Family Retreat in the future.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, families with young children.

Summerhill Retreat was the perfect setting for our family reunion. The large kitchen, stocked with pots, pans, serving platters, and dishware made it so convenient to prepare meals. The large dining room and deck allowed our family to gather and enjoy our meals together. This home is pure joy for young children and parents because of all of the toys and activities available. Conveniently located right off of Interstate 5 and near golf courses and shopping.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, girls getaway, families with young children.
