What is check-in time? - Most retreaters arrive between 2 - 3 pm.
What should I bring to my room? - Remember that parts of the lodge are now over 100 years old so you may want to bring some Fabreeze but all rooms are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. Bring an extra blanket, just in case you want to take a nap. If you bring your own pillows or linens, avoid whites as they'll get confused with what belongs to the lodge. Hairdryers are not included.
What to wear? Bring warm clothes and warm sweaters to wear (and show off). Remember you'll be on top of a mountain and it can be cool.
What meals are included? ALL meals are included - breakfast. lunch, and dinner.
Breakfast includes waffles, pancakes, toast, cooked to order eggs, and grits - order as much as you like. Each dining room place setting includes a paper placemat with detailed menu selections.
Lunch is usually soup and sandwiches.
Dinner is one course (meat, salad, homemade bread, vegetables, dessert).
Beer and wine are available but not included in the room price. You can also BYOB.
Is coffee available for retreaters? Regular and decaf coffee is ready in the lobby between 5:30 and 6 each morning and available all day. Hot water is available all day for tea and hot chocolate.
Do you have a snack table? One of our traditions is the snack table. Because of COVID, let's not have anything that has to be handled. If you bring goodies to share, PLEASE INDIVIDUALLY WRAP everything. Thank you to all who contribute - it's always appreciated.
Should I bring a lawn chair? Yes! Bring a folding or lawn chair and mark it with a ribbon to identify it.
Due to Covid more activities will be outside.
Will the retreat have a "Give & Take Table"? This was very popular at previous retreats. If you have things that need a new home - , needles, yarn, project bags, patterns, old knitting books or magazines - we'll have a table for you to put them on and feel free to take what you will use. Retreaters tend to put things on the table all through the retreat.
When is "Show and Tell"? 10:30 Thursday morning at the shuffle board area weather permitting. Bring a chair. If the weather is bad we'll move it to Friday morning.
Every year we see the most amazing projects you have knit or crocheted. Two item limit.
What time is check out? - Check out is 11:00 Sunday morning. But there's no rush - enjoy the time between breakfast and 11 to fellowship and knit!
