We’re bringing your fall getaway dreams to life with this cozy, all-things-crafts retreat weekend.
Treat yourself to a few days away in a beautiful, luxury cabin tucked in the woods—where your only job is to slow down, create, and enjoy!
Bring your knitting projects and settle in for a weekend of relaxation. Whether you’re working through a tricky sweater or just want uninterrupted time to knit, we’ll be there to answer questions and cheer you on. Feel like mixing things up? We’ll also have additional crafts on hand so you can explore something new if you need a break!
Think cozy mornings with hot coffee and tea, afternoons spent crafting with new friends, and evenings gathered around the camp fire. You’ll enjoy delicious catered meals, handcrafted cocktails, and plenty of treats and snacks along the way.
Take a soak in the hot tub under the stars, bring your knitting out to a cozy camp fire, and don’t miss our wood-fired pizza oven night—definitely a highlight of the weekend!
It’s the perfect blend of creativity, rest, and a little bit of spooky fun over Halloween weekend—exactly what a fall escape should be.
