The weather at Laurel River Retreat is mild. It is cooled in the summer by mountain elevation, the river and tree canopy. The area enjoys occasional snow falls from December to February, but seldom has a severe cold or significant snow due to its modest elevation. Springtime is ideal for naturalists and bird-watchers as the mountain wild flowers begin to bloom. The autumn offers the famous explosion of colors that bring tourists from all over the world.
