We want your retreat experience at Hidden Falls to be smooth, stress-free, and filled with
joy. Below are the most common questions we receive about staying, booking, and enjoying
your time with us.
General Retreat Info
Q: How many people does the retreat accommodate?
A: Our retreat can host up to 15 guests across five bedrooms and three full bathrooms. You may reserve the whole house, just the first floor, or the lower level—based on your group size and needs.
Q: I have less than four people interested in a retreat. Can I still make a reservation?
A: Yes—while we typically require a 6-person minimum for floor rentals and 12 for whole- house retreats, we occasionally open individual room reservations for curated events or off- peak dates. Reach out to see what's currently available.
Q: If I'm not a quilter or part of a retreat group, can I still rent the house?
A: Absolutely. While the home is designed with creative retreats in mind, it's also a peaceful place for writers, artists, planners, and anyone looking for a restorative getaway.
Amenities & Setup
Q: What amenities do you provide?
A: We offer two full kitchens, two living areas, three full bathrooms, laundry on both levels, Wi-Fi, an electric vehicle charger, and multiple dining spaces. The workroom is fully equipped with 15 individual stations, ergonomic chairs, rolling carts, cutting tables, ironing boards, and design walls.
Q: What do you provide for my quilt retreat?
A: Each guest receives a personal 5-foot work table, ergonomic chair, and rolling cart. You'll also have access to shared cutting and ironing stations, design walls, and great lighting. Please bring your sewing machine and basic supplies—or see below for rental options.
Q: Do you offer sewing machine rentals?
A: We do not currently offer sewing machine rentals, but we’re happy to recommend local shops or instructors who may provide this service. Stay tuned—this may become an add-on in the future!
Booking & Payments
Q: How do I make a reservation?
A: Visit the Book a Retreat page and submit a request form with your preferred dates, group size, and rental option. We’ll follow up to confirm availability and share next steps for payment.
Q: What types of payment do you accept?
A: We accept credit cards, Venmo, PayPal, and checks by request. Full payment instructions will be provided once your reservation is confirmed.
Q: When is my rental balance due?
A: A non-refundable deposit is due at the time of booking to secure your dates. The remaining balance is due 30 days prior to your scheduled arrival.
Q: Do you accept monthly payments?
A: Yes! We’re happy to work with you on a payment plan. Most guests pay a non-refundable deposit to reserve their spot, then divide the remaining balance into monthly installments leading up to the retreat. Simply select the payment plan at time of booking, pay a 20% deposit and we'll invoice you once a month for a portion of the remaining balance to ensure your retreat is fully paid for prior to the arrival date. All retreats must be paid for in full the day before arrival to prevent forfeiting all payments made to reserve your spot.
Policies
Q: What is your cancellation policy?
A: You can find our full policy on the Host a Retreat page. In short:
- Cancellations more than 30 days out = refund of all but deposit
- Cancellations within 30 days = non-refundable, but may be rescheduled within 12 months
(based on availability)
- In the case of inclement weather or host cancellation = full refund or reschedule offered
