Holiday Haven | Hideout

Our Holiday Haven Hideout is the perfect crafting room. With 1600-square-feet of space, it offers plenty of room to work, relax, and connect. Designed for creativity and comfort, it feels more like a retreat than a workspace; ensuring an elevated experience for everyone.

Here's what you'll find:

  • Spacious table space each guest will have a 4’ AND a 6’ table with plenty of plugs for all your machines and tools.

  • Large wallboards for laying out your quilt designs and seeing your progress come to life.

  • Plugs galore are on the tables which reduces the mess of extension cords — all for your safety and convenience — and enough voltage capacity to plug in a sewing machine, small iron, light, fan, and phone charger.

  • Bright overhead lighting ensures every stitch is clear; making it easy to work day or night.

  • Comfortable seating designed for long crafting sessions, so you can focus on your project without distractions.

  • 18 cubic foot refrigerator and coffee bar with Keurig. However, you will have to bring your coffee pods.

  • Cutting station and ironing station so you work without interruptions.

  • Two foldout wagons will be provided to help transport your stuff from your car — all undercover.

FAQs

What is the minimum stay required?

We have a 3-night minimum stay to give you ample time to relax, quilt, and enjoy the retreat.

What should I bring?

We want you to feel right at home. We are your friendly retreat; providing a cozy place to lie your head with fresh linens, towels, and toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash). You'll have everything you need for a comfortable stay, but you're welcome to bring any extras you’d like. For example, we provide a throw blanket and pillow, but if you’d like an additional one or your favorite, feel free to bring it along.

For quilting, please bring all the supplies you need for your project, including your own fabric, sewing machine, and tools. In the future, our on-site store will offer a variety of quilting materials.

Do you offer classes?

Yes, we offer a range of classes for all skill levels. Some of our popular classes include rope bowls and Kimberbell events. Kits with fabric are provided, so you won’t need to worry about prepping. We will share a specific supply list ahead of time.

Can I purchase supplies at the retreat?

Not at this time, but soon, there will be a store! Our store will offer a variety of quilting essentials, including fabric, threads, and kits.

Is there space to work on large quilting projects?

Yes, our spacious quilting room, Holiday Haven Hideout, is designed with plenty of tables and plugs to accommodate large projects. We also provide wallboards for laying out your designs.

Will meals be included?

No, meals are not included, but the retreat has a fully-stocked kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances. We provide all tableware, cookware, and pantry essentials. You can plan a potluck with your group. Grocery stores nearby are Brookshire Bros and Walmart. We do have a gourmet kitchen on site with 12 burners, two convection ovens, and two regular ovens. It’s always fun to share recipes (maybe bring extra printed).

Are there stairs?

No, the entire HOME is conveniently located on one floor, as are the HIDEOUT and HALL. We’ve designed the space with safety and accessibility in mind, ensuring that all hallways are wide, open, and easy to navigate. This makes it simple for everyone to move around comfortably, whether you're working on a project or relaxing with friends.

What are the check-in and check-out times?

Check-in is at 3 PM, but if there’s no scheduling conflict, you may be able to arrive early — just ask ahead! Check-out is by 11 AM to allow time to prepare for the next group. If no one is arriving the same day, a later check-out may be possible—again, feel free to ask!

How long have we been in business?

We’re a newer facility in this community, with our doors officially opening in 2024. Our founder, Evelyn Sorensen, is a seasoned embroiderer with a Masters Degree in Education who has been perfecting her craft for years and teaching others for the past 8 years. Her dream was to create a cozy, welcoming space where everyone could gather and enjoy quilting together. Every detail of this retreat has been thoughtfully crafted with care, creativity, and a whole lot of love.
