No, and we back it up. If you purchase a new home through Mobile Retreat, LLC you will receive a no-closure guarantee. If we close the park during your lifetime, we will buy your home back at the assessed value, or pay to have it moved and set up in any community in Washington. Your choice. Guaranteed in writing. Of course, it’s easy to make this promise because we’re never going to close Mobile Retreat.

What size homes can you accommodate?

Mobile Retreat allows both single and doublewide manufactured homes, although there presently aren’t any available spaces.
