Retreat Information - Discover What's Included!
The Crafting Cottage is a unique destination for paper crafters. It is not a large hotel catering to large groups of guests; it is more along the lines of a "Boutique Inn". The Cottage is dedicated to paper crafters and as such, offers not only a Workshop Room with large windows bringing in gorgeous daylight, six individual crafting stations with lots and lots of room to spread out one's crafting STUFF, but the Cottage offers the most extensive selection of tools for the crafting guests to use during their stay. As a matter of fact, an entire room is devoted to simply housing all the die-cutting machines, dies, stamps, embossing folders, stencils, ink pads....more and even a mini-retail shop for those "must have" or forgotten items such as adhesive or the right shade of red cardstock or ribbon.
When considering booking a weekend at the Crafting Cottage with friends, know that you are going to enjoy staying at a special place dedicated to paper crafters. You will understand why this makes the Cottage such a special place.
