Hoosier Stitchers Fall Retreat House 2011

I have looked high and I have looked low. I have call 100 if not more places for our retreat in the fall, left tons of messages, a lot of them never called back. Talk to one lady 3 times because her place came up in my search several different times. LOL! But finally, I think I found a place we can gather, laugh, cry and make new memories.

Barbee Christian Church

27 Ems B2 Lane

Leesburg, IN 46538-8994

Warning the road in Warsaw where you turn off onto East Old US-30 in not marked well if you are coming in East bound on US 30, West bound you can see the sign but it is off the corner.

If you are coming in this way St. Rd 13 is not marked at the light, but you look down the road you will see the St. Rd 13 sign.

Heading North on 13 there is a clear sign for Barbee Christian Church.

When you see the Corner Stone Homes and Barbee Marina sign, turn on the road between them. ;) Which is East County Road 400 N.

Now once you find 27 Ems B2 Ln, be careful pulling in the drive, it is split with gravel between and big gaps.

Okay, have we all make it to the retreat house safe and sound??? I will give you a little history about the retreat house is was built in 1922 for Al Capone to hideout. So, if that was on your bucket list, you will now be able to mark it off.

Lets go inside and have a look around...This is the living room, where we will have our stitching. We can set up tables. See Terry at the door there is a porch out the doors we can use that area to, if needed. I think it will work great for our crafty classes.

Yup, that is Kayden, he went with me.

To your right you will enter the dinner room. We can set up tables in here for eating, freebie table and show & tell table. Looks like the folding chairs are padded.
Walk on through the dinning room and you will enter the tiny kitchen. Yes, pots, pans, plates, etc. are provide. We will need to bring our coffee, tea, drinks, etc. No ice machine and sorry no dishwasher.
Then through the next door and down the hall way is a bathroom and shower, yes on the first floor.

A little further down the hall and another bathroom.

Continue down the hall and there is the nurses room, it has two twin beds (not bunk). These beds will be saved for anyone that has a REAL problem with the stairs. Sorry I didn't get a picture.

Okay upstairs there are 5 bedrooms, one with 4 bunk beds, one with 2 bunk beds and three rooms with 3 bunk beds. Picture of one of the rooms with 3 bunks.

So, we can sleep 32, (I think I counted right) but Terry said 20 is comfy.

Price is $48.00 for three nights. You will need to bring the same as you have the pass retreats, bedding, shower stuff, etc.
Now we need to set a date. Please let me know what date is best for you in November. Nov. 3-6, Nov. 10-13 or Nov. 17-20. Once we pick a date, then I will need the deposit to keep the date.

Now we have two places in Northern Indiana for our retreats, if one is full we can go the the other. :)
