We’ve been doing this sort of thing for years now and this is truly the best place to go on a retreat! We love the atmosphere and social aspect of the house. It is very comfortable and cozy. 

Thanks so much for creating a first class establishment!

What a wonderful, homey place to come for a retreat! I have been to a retreat where it was really roughing it, which is okay, but you have created a palace! … Thank you for being such gracious hosts – I can tell you love this place and having people over. 

– Roberta

Our sixth visit was as enjoyable as ever! Fourteen of us attended, and we all felt like it was one of our most productive weekends! Lots of scrapping got done! We’re hoping to add Thursday AND Monday next year!

We, the ‘slummin sisters’ quilt group arrived on Wednesday & called right away to see if we could stay all summer! After we were told ‘no’ we set up all our stuff and got to work because we only had 5 days. We thoroughly enjoyed being here as your guests. The facility was wonderful…We had a great time and look forward to adding additional weeks.
