Yes, it is very easily accessed from the garage and is on the main floor.   

* What do I have to bring with me for the weekend?  
All you need to bring with you is your crafting supplies, comfortable lounging clothes (you don't even need to get out of
your jammies if you don't want to),  and a toothbrush and toothpaste.  Maybe you should bring a comb or hairbrush
too. Ha Ha!!!  We supply plenty of snacks and beverages. Breakfast is served both Saturday and Sunday.  Friday
evening meal is also provided.  We supply your bedding, your towels for showers, bath salts for the jacuzzi tub,  and
shower gel soap.  There is a T.V. with a DVD player In the creating room and a stereo system so you might want to

*If we prefer to go out where can we go?  
Within a few miles radius we have Connell's Supper Club,  Dana's Grill and Bar, Cancun's, or China Buffet.   In the
summer months-La Grander's drive-in. They make their own ice cream and onion rings.  Then of course there is all of
the fast food places which are all very close.  If you would prefer to just make something here, you have full use of the
kitchen.  There is a grocery store 1/2 mile from here that has a real nice deli.

*If I wanted to shop for supplies where could I go?  
Eau Claire has two very nice Scrapbooking shops.  Both are about 20 minutes from us.  Picture This and Stamps
Galore.  There is also a Michael's in Eau Claire, also about 20 minutes away.  We do have a very basic supply of card
stock and some adhesives, in case you run out and need some in a pinch.  We also have a the Cotton Club  quilting
shop just a few miles down the road.

*What if I pick a weekend I can come and your web site says it's for quilting and I want to scrapbook?
We can be flexible with the weekends to a point. If you have a group of girls and you want to change the designated  
weekend, please call and we can work something out.  We do have the Free For All Weekends that, when you come,
you can plan on just about any craft being done.  For the quilters however, we need to limit the number of girls
because those quilters just require more space!!  So, unless a weekend already has bookings,  we can be flexible.  
Once there are bookings, the weekend is set.  The first to book sets the weekend and it gets changed on the web site.

*What if there is only four or five of us in our group?
We charge per person.  You are not required to fill all 10 spaces in order to reserve the weekend.   However, there
might be another group of four or five that might also book on that same weekend.  We require a minimum of four for
the weekend.  
 Each guest should fill out a registration form with deposit.  Please refer to 0ur Billing and
Refund policy on our pricing page.

*What if we don't know for sure how many can come in our group, but we want to reserve all spaces for the  weekend?
One person from your group can hold the  weekend with a credit card number.  We will reserve the weekend totally for
your group.  
Each quest still needs to send in the registration form and deposit in advance. If you do not
reach the whole ten spaces, we would need to know at least 3-4 weeks before, so we could open it up to others.

*How far in advance should I reserve my weekend?  
We are taking bookings a year in advance.  If you know you want to make your stay an annual or bi-annual event just
book ahead or rebook at the time of your weekend stay to guarantee your choice of weekends.

*If I want a massage or pedicure, what do I have to do?  
You just let us know and we will book that for you.  We have a wonderful massage therapist that comes on site and
does the massages.  At this point, the pedicures are done about a mile away at Crimper's Salon.  You will be paying
them direct at the time of the massage or pedicure.

*Do I have to scrapbook, stamp or quilt when I'm there?
No, This is a get-away weekend for you.  You can do whatever craft you would like or just sit and read a book if you
would like.  Whatever your need is.  We are here to pamper you.  Relax and go home refreshed!!!

*Will someone be there when I arrive?
Yes, one of us will be here nearly all the times.  We only do what some would call "hosted weekends".  Either myself
(Jeane) or my daughter Lori will be here to assist you whenever needed.  

*Can we smoke?  
We do not allow smoking in the building.  However you can smoke on the screened in porch.

*Can we have alcoholic beverages?  
Yes, we do not provide them, however you can bring your own, if you wish.

We have tried to answer some of the frequently ask questions.  If you have any others please let us know!!
