Scrapbooking in the Pines
Retreat Center


                                                                         
Covid Update
Due to the Covid Virus we are requiring a minimum of 3 guest's booking a weekend stay.

Scrapbooking in the Pines Retreat Center is the perfect place to get away from it all and spend some quality time scrapbooking, stamping, quilting, or crafting with friends or family.


At our retreat center, we rent out a bed and table instead of the entire retreat. It makes it economical for all sizes of groups to come in for a little respite. Most of our weekend booking dates are filled with multiple groups of crafting friends. It’s a great way to meet new people with the same passion for crafting. With your reservation, you get a bed, use of linens, closet, a 30” x 60” table, craft mat, light, and electricity. Along with use of the kitchen, locker room and bathrooms; we also have complimentary DVD player, scrapbooking tools, computer and WiFi.
 
As always, please be considerate of your fellow retreater and be ready to make new friends! We love hearing stories of building lifelong friendships in our retreat center. If, by chance, you run into guest issues that need to be brought to our attention, please reach out to info@thepinecityscrapbookingco.com.
 
We look forward to hosting your retreat event.

Frequently Asked Questions


Retreat


Does the retreat stay include food?
No, you will be responsible for all of your own food. Our town does have many eating establishments as well!

Do you have a full size stove?
No, we do not have full-size stove in the retreat center. We do have a convection microwave instead of an oven, as well as a hot plate with two burners.

Why are there no windows in the retreat center?
Unfortunately, we did not have the adequate easement on our property to put windows in the retreat center. Because we have no windows, we were required to put in a fire sprinkler system into the entire building to ensure the safety of our guests in the unlikely event of a fire. The lack of windows also makes it that much easier to get lost in your crafting without the worry of what time of day it is! We also get very little outdoor noise with the lack of windows. And you can always wander up into the store between 10-5 to gaze out the very large store windows!

Do you supply linens?
Yes, we do supply bed linens and towels during your stay.

No
