Retreat Information

---

Currently we are only booking private retreats .  Your group will have full access to the house and it's property.  The host is located next door so you will have complete privacy during your stay.

•  You will receive a Welcome email with more information about the retreat and the nearby area. There are lots of restaurants and shopping within 5 miles. The new Scheels Sporting Goods Store in Woodland Hills Mall will open soon!
• We do have the option to add a Wednesday or Sunday onto your original trip. Just select the "Add a Night" button if you decide your group needs more time to finish their creative projects.

The studio area will become one of your favorite spots to create.  The space  is open and airy with high ceilings  equipped with bright overhead LED lighting. High-speed internet is available throughout the house for streaming music or tv shows.  

Each of the 10 sewing stations are equipped with an adjustable  48" IKEA table that is stable enough to hold your biggest sewing machine.  The table height is also easily adjusted so you can even sew standing up!  

Everyone needs a side table for pressing and cutting, so we also provide a large 29" side table.  This table is sturdy and movable so you can use it for ironing or trimming blocks. Don't bother bringing extension cords or power strips! We have an adjustable LED lamp and Power Tower at each station that is plugged in and ready to go! The Power Tower has 8 plug-ins, 3 USB and 1 USB-C. The chairs are sturdy and comfortable Reliable SewErgo task rolling chairs that are height adjustable. These chairs are so comfortable because of the lower back support which helps when sewing or quilting.

Each workstation also has a 10" round Sue Daley cutting mat that rotates.  Perfect for trimming all those quilt blocks!

Extra-large design walls are located on the surrounding walls and a 65" TV is mounted overhead for watching your favorite shows on Google TV. The design walls are so big, that we've also provided a sturdy step-stool to help you reach the very top for those king-sized quilts!

We even have a pub table in the middle of room if you need a break but don't want to leave the excitement. Ring the giant school bell when your project is done so everyone can snap a photo and admire your hard work!

Sewing machines are available for rent.  The fee is $50 for the Long Weekend and $40 for the Weekend.

Right off the sewing & crafting studio is the cutting and pressing room.  Two large counter-height cutting tables with Quilter's Select cutting mats are provided.

Comfort mats are provided to keep your feet happy when cutting and ironing!
