i have created this getaway to be small & exclusive so that we can share common areas in the same home, while also having plenty of room to relax in each of our own personal spaces. i want to foster community and embrace the needs of each guest’s unique personality. everyone has their own bed and we will not be using any of the house’s common-area pull-out beds, or even the bed in the home’s “game room”, as I want my guests to enjoy luxurious surroundings at all times. the retreat overview is below. after you’ve given it a glance, click on the buttons above to read all the fab details including the full itinerary including additional retreat basics, the accommodations including travel and climate info & the policies including links to travel insurance if you need it.

what could be more delightful than spending a beachfront 5-night long winter weekend in a mild climate with knitting workshops, local artisans, a day in charleston with a brilliantly talented on-site dyer amidst delicious meals and great company?

“nothing could be finer than to be in carolina in the {winter} moooooorning!”

food: charleston is a foodie town and we are making the most of it! during the retreat, a variety of meals will be provided—both in and out of our home. i’m bringing in a professional chef for a couple of meals & our dinner out in the city is at a private venue so that we can be all kinds of pampered. guests will be asked to share any food allergies or dietary restrictions after registration so that I can be sure to take care of you during each provided meal. in addition to breakfasts and dinners, snacks and a variety of non-alcoholic beverages will be available throughout the retreat.
