Just wanted to take a moment to remind you how proud your future children are of you already ✨
For me at 33, I speak from experience. I really thought I should have had kids by now in my life and yet I know God is saving that moment for the perfect timing.
It’s time to stop being so hard on ourselves and allow ourselves to flow; for our children are so happy to be ours already.
Trust the timing 💚

A fully guided breath journey through which you are able to explore within, transcend your ego, open your heart, and alter your state of consciousness for healing.

Regardless of the experience, which is different every time and for every person, there is no wrong way to do it and you will access healing physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲:
• Reduce stress and anxiety

They take such thoughtful care of everything! River Mountain is a gem. I love true roughing it camping so I wondered if this might not do for me. I was wonderfully proven wrong! To head into the woods without having to think much about food or gear is incredible! The food was excellent, plentiful, and easily gotten. The location is pure magic - woods, a creek, a meadow - so you can see stars, hear tons of birds, take great hikes. and listen to a burbling stream. The staff were terrific - present, resourceful, helpful, then vanishing like magic! It’s complete luxury to have your own bathroom regardless of what style of accommodation you choose plus spotless, private, hot showers! Amazing! Even in the rain this was a tonic - so relaxing and super fun. I can’t wait to go again!

This place is like a meditation hideaway, a nature retreat and an oasis from the noise of life. Such a utopia.....i think those are the best ways to describe this place. My fiance and I love it so much we are making it a regular getaway. The caretakers of property and guests make you feel like family and welcome you with open arms. 10star rating on our part!

Just left and had to write a review right away! What a fantastic getaway for the family. Location is unbelievable, think Nottingham first meets hunger games meets a sci-fi wonderland. We rented a full cabin so we had plenty of space and beds, but next time coming back for the tipis which looked super cool. The team was so nice, fun and helpful. Made us feel at home in the forest. And the BBQ grilling was perfect. Highly recommend all around!

Near D.C., Baltimore & Pittsburgh -- Yet a World Away
River Mountain is located between Bedford, Pennsylvania, and Cumberland, Maryland, in the heart of the Allegheny Mountains. Our property is secluded and remote, yet easily accessible from the city.
Your Hosts
This endeavor started a couple years back. We caught ourselves spending too much time at the office and not enough time doing what we love -- being outdoors doing cool things with cool people. Our team is here to deliver a great experience -- comfortable, safe, secure, helpful, welcoming, and unforgettable. We look forward to your visit and hope River Mountain becomes a second home for you, just like it has for us.
