This was my very first retreat. It was an amazing experience. Hidden Falls is a beautiful place and the Host was over the top amazing. Kitchen has everything needed. The food was amazing and plentiful. The beds were so comfortable. And the overall facility was very clean, comfortable and welcoming. The workspace was very well equipped and spacious sewing stations.
Krista Moser was amazing. Her Trunk Show and story was incredible. Beautiful quilts! Krista was an excellent instructor. She was great at explaining and willing to help out. So friendly and kind and a lot of fun.
I met many great new friends and had so much fun. I can't wait to come back!

Absolute best retreat experience
It was the absolute best retreat weekend! Toni was the best hostess and Delana's food was delicious!! The retreat house was cozy and beautifully decorated for the holidays. Everything was super clean and neat. The creating space was enough for everyone to spread out and not be in each other's way. For quilters, all of the walls were design walls so you could hang your works in progress up.

AWESOME Retreat Venue - Don’t Hesitate!
Hidden Falls Farm Retreat is a perfect getaway! Beautiful setting, amazing facility, super attentive owner, and marvelous class offerings. In the 6 months since this new retreat space opened, I have attended multiple times including open sews, instructor-led quilt sessions, day classes, and most recently the Crimson Christmas retreat with the amazing and fun Krista Moser on-site. And I am already signed up for 2 retreats in 2026. If you’re on the fence about whether to visit, don’t hesitate! You won’t be disappointed.
