As the name suggests, Vacation House for Free is a show that follows the adventures of contractor and real estate expert Matt Blashaw as he helps families find their dream vacation homes without breaking the bank. In season 2 episode 4 titled Wilderness Retreat, Matt takes on the challenge of finding a wilderness retreat for a family of 5 who love the outdoors but want a comfortable home to come back to after a day of adventure.
The episode starts off with Matt meeting the family at a coffee shop near their current residence. He learns that the family wants a vacation home that is within driving distance of their current home in the suburbs and has easy access to hiking, wildlife, and other outdoor activities. They also want a home big enough to accommodate their family of 5, which includes 3 teenage kids who often bring friends along.
Matt starts off by showing the family a house that is located in a wooded area with lots of trees and natural beauty. However, the house is very small and needs a lot of work. The family quickly decides that this house won't work for them and asks Matt to find something bigger and more comfortable.
Matt then takes the family to a new property that is situated in a beautiful, remote location with easy access to hiking trails and other outdoor activities. The property has a large house with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a spacious living area with lots of natural light. The family is impressed with the size and layout of the house but feels that the decor is outdated and doesn't match their style.
Matt then explains to the family that he can help them renovate the house to fit their style and preferences. He takes the family on a tour of the local stores to help them pick out furniture, decor, and other items to decorate the house. The family is excited to be a part of the renovation process and makes some great choices that Matt thinks will enhance the overall look and feel of the house.
Over the course of the next few days, Matt and his team work tirelessly to renovate the house. They gut the kitchen and install new appliances, repaint all the walls, install new flooring, and add furniture and decor to every room. Matt also adds a new deck to the back of the house that provides a beautiful view of the surrounding wilderness.
When the renovation is complete, Matt invites the family to come and see the house. They are blown away by the transformation and love every detail that Matt and his team have added to the house. Matt explains that the renovation costs were kept low by using some of the existing materials in the house and adding custom pieces that were affordable.
Overall, Wilderness Retreat is a heartwarming episode of Vacation House for Free that showcases Matt's skills as a contractor and real estate expert. The episode is a great reminder that with some creativity and hard work, anyone can find their dream vacation home without breaking the bank.
