We are located in Lake Placid, Florida. We will provide specific directions from your location upon reservation.

No, it is in the city of Lake Placid, but the home is on a canal that leads directly to Lake Grassy.

Yes, 3 days/2 nights.

We have beds and craft tables for 10.  We will accept groups as small as 7.

To make it fair for all the guests staying during a weekend, we only offer two night stay retreats.  We understand weekends are busy for everyone and you are welcome to come and go as you please throughout the weekend.

You are welcome to stay an extra day. An extra night is $250 per night for the entire group. Advance registration for an extended stay is greatly appreciated but we will do our best to accommodate last minute requests.

If you cancel prior to 30 days before your scheduled weekend we will provide a full refund of your paid balance minus the deposit. If you cancel less than 30 days prior to your scheduled retreat date you will not receive a refund. But, we will keep your paid balance for six months to apply toward a future weekend stay. Please remember we try to prepare for your weekend stay early. Each spot that is “saved” is a spot we were unable to offer to another guest.

To make the weekend prices fair for everyone we only offer full weekend retreats.

Lake House Retreat has 3 bedrooms all located on the first floor. For details on each room, see Lodging. Extra pillows and blankets are kept in the bedroom closet. Each bed has a sheet set and blanket.  Each guest is also given a bath towel and washcloth.  Please bring your favorite pillow if possible.

Yourself and your personal scrapbook/crafting/quilting gear and food! We also suggest warm slippers, comfy sweats, and cozy pajamas. Lake Placid Retreat is all about crafting, relaxing, and being pampered-no need for makeup and getting dressed up!  For those who crawl into bed in the wee hours of the morning, we suggest bringing an eye mask to help you sleep a few hours longer during the daylight.
