Join me February 26-March 1, 2026 for the first HOSTED RETREAT of the New Year! I currently have 6 spots left for this cozy retreat.

Arrive as early as 12 p.m. on Thursday and stay as late as 3 p.m. on Sunday. Limited to 8 guests. All meals, lodging and 4' crafting station are provided. (There is currently one 8' table upgrade still available for $75 more.) Retreat fee is $250/person for Thursday-Sunday stay or $200/person for Friday-Sunday stay. (Check, Venmo and Zelle payments accepted). Full balance is due by 1/26/26 or at the time of registering if spots remain beyond January.

We have had a dry winter so far with no real snow in Bailey. However, if the foothills finally get winter weather closer to the retreat, then guests should plan to come in an AWD or 4WD vehicle.

Note that guests attending must be comfortable with stairs. All guest bedrooms are located on the second story of the home and the crafting workshop is located on the second floor of the detached garage. There is an electronic cargo lift for moving craft supplies to and from the workshop.
