House-hunting programs on TV cover all of the options, from buyers honing in on fixer-uppers and off-the-grid options to castles and container homes. On "Mountain Life," the spotlight is on people who are searching for their oasis in the clouds. In each episode, a family in need of a break heads for the hills -- uh, mountains -- to tour multiple properties in remote locations, from the wooded peaks of the East Coast's Blue Ridge to Hawaii's tropical Mauna Loa. With the help of a real estate agent, the hope is to find the perfect retreat without breaking the bank.
