The Guest House has four bedrooms and two baths for our guests. Each room will sleep 2-3. If you are attending the Quiltaway retreat with friends, you can indicate that on the registration form and we will do our best to accommodate you. This weekend is like a quilter’s slumber party, you may find yourself with a roommate and an opportunity to make new friends.

The Lancaster area has an abundance of quilt and fabric shops.  We will have information on area attractions and shopping.  If you’ve never been there you are in for a treat.

Typical Weekend:

You will arrive to the Guest House on Friday beginning at 5:00 PM and settle in. The Mystery Quiltaway weekend begins at 6:00 PM.  A simple dinner will be served.  Coffee, Tea and cold water will be available all weekend, but if you have your own drink preferences please feel free to bring it along.  There is some refrigerator space available for guests to use.  We will begin solving the Mystery quilt with the first of the clues and also you can expect some surprises!  For any beginner quilters we can offer a short lesson on rotary cutting, just ask!  You can stay up as late as you want. 

The Quiltaway Getaway Weekend continues Saturday morning with coffee available about 7:00AM.  You can wake up and get right back to the sewing at any time.   We will serve you a delicious country breakfast. We will sew the morning away. Lunch will be provided at around 12:30 PM. Saturday afternoon you can sew as long as you wish.

The afternoon is free time for exploring the shops and sights of Lancaster County. Also, Saturday dinner is your chance to try one of the many great restaurants in the area. Saturday dinner is not served at the Guest House. After dinner we return to the Guest House to resume the retreat and for more clues to the mystery.

Sunday morning at 7:00 AM the coffee will be ready along with some tasty breakfast goodies.  You can awaken whenever you like to continue to solve your mystery.  Most quilters will be able to complete their mystery, but don’t worry if you haven’t, this is supposed to be a low-pressure relaxing weekend.  You will be provided with all clues and information to finish at home.  If you get stuck please feel free to email or call us with any questions. The Quilter's Getaway Weekend will conclude with a fabulous Sunday Brunch.  We will then be on our way with great memories, a quilt top, and snacks for the road.

Hope you’ll return for another Mystery Quiltaway!!
