Scrapbooking Retreat FAQ Make A Reservation

We’ve tried to anticipate as many questions as possible but in case we haven’t answered yours, feel free to contact us.

Should a question arise during your stay at our Eau Claire scrapbooking retreat, you will be given a contact name and phone number to use to call us.

Making a Reservation

How many guests can Green Haven Retreat accommodate?
We can accomodate up to 16 people. We have four guest rooms, each with four twin beds and a private bath. Our scrapbooking work area has 18 six foot tables with adjustable office chairs.

What if just two or three of us want to come?
We don’t want to leave smaller groups out, so we will have Retreat Hosted Weekends. These weekends open up Green Haven Retreat to several smaller scrapbooking groups at a per person price. Meals are included with a 10 person minimum. We will take up to 16, so please keep in mind that you might be sharing a room with someone that you don’t know— but that’s a good way to make new scrapbooking friends! Please check our calendar for these hosted dates. (If you have a group of less than four, but would like a room to yourselves we will try and accommodate this. To guarantee this you would have to pay for an additional person.)

What time is check-in and check-out?
Our standard check-in time is 3 PM and check out is 4 PM on Sundays and 3 PM on weekdays. However, an earlier check-in and/or later check-out time MAY be possible. Please let us know if you’d like earlier/later times when you make your reservation. One of our hostesses will meet you at the check-in time and go through the Green Haven Retreat with you and answer any questions you might have.

What to Pack

What should I bring with me on the scrapbooking retreat?
Your personal scrapbooking or crafting supplies, personal toiletries, and don’t forget those comfy, lounging clothes and slippers! There is a TV and a Blu-Ray disc player so you might want to bring some movie favorites. (Your regular dvds will play in the Blu-Ray player). In the work area there is a CD player and a place to plug in your iPod in case you need music to get your creative juices flowing.

I’m here but my toothbrush isn’t!?
We all know the most important items to be packed for a getaway at Green Haven Retreat will be your scrapbooking or crafting supplies so that toothbrush might get forgotten! We’ve got you covered! We’ll have an emergency basket with some of the basics in case you forget (shampoo, conditioner, and soap).

Where to Eat

Are any meals provided at the scrapbooking retreat?
No food is provided (unless you are attending a Hosted weekend). We do provide coffee and some creamers. For your meals you have several options such as subs, soups, and pizza. Green Haven Retreat is within a short driving time of many excellent Eau Claire restaurants. Menus are provided for you to help make your choice or to order curbside pickup where available. You are welcome to bring your own food and do your own cooking in our kitchen. There is a dishwasher to make clean up easier! View a list of our kitchen inventory.

Can we get our meals catered in?
For the ultimate getaway weekend, contract with our chef, Laurel Robertson, to have your meals prepared for you. You may contact her or check out her website, Dinners On. (All planning, scheduling, and payment is directly handled by Chef Laurel)

Security

What about security?
Every guest staying at our scrapbooking retreat will have a key available to them that will lock their bedroom. It will be up to you, as guests, to make sure that you lock the building when you leave for any period of time. The scrapbooking work area is an open area so if you are concerned about leaving materials while you are not present we suggest you lock them in your room.

Around Eau Claire

You know how Wisconsin scrapbookers are—
where can we shop?

We are conveniently located adjacent to Picture This scrapbooking store. There is also Down Memory Lane, Happy Stamper, Michaels, and Hancock Fabrics in Eau Claire, only a few miles from our scrapbooking retreat.

As long as I’m getting away and pampering myself, where can I get a massage?
You won't even need to leave the retreat to enjoy a relaxing massage, they will come to you! Contact Bridget or call
715-246-9595 for information and to schedule your massage services. Bridget and Michelle are a mother and daughter
team with over 10 years
of experience.

I need to get out and stretch— what can I do?
Our scrapbooking retreat is only a short distance from a paved two mile walking path. You can walk towards Eau Claire or head away from town. No matter which way you go, you will find a convenience store. If you head towards Eau Claire you can follow the path all the way into town!

Packing Up

What happens if we accidentally pack up a scrapbooking supply from the work area and it comes home with us?
As part of the check-in process, we do an inventory check of the scrapbooking work area with you to make sure all the supplies are there for your use and that you will not be held responsible for an item that is not there. This same inventory checklist will be used when you are done using the scrapbooking work area. This way you can be sure all the scrapbooking supplies are accounted for before you head home. If we find that something is missing, we will contact your scrapbooking group leader. You will be responsible for paying the shipping to have the item returned to us, and if it can’t be located the group leader will be billed for the missing item.

What are we responsible for cleaning?
This is your time away from home, so we ask for minimal cleaning from you! Please clean the kitchen and make sure you remove any food from the refrigerator. We will take care of the rest!
