Unhosted, No-Frills, and Easy to Plan

Night Owl Craft Retreat is an unhosted, no-frills retreat which many groups see as a big advantage.

That means you bring your own meals (don’t forget about snacks), drinks, and craft supplies, and come and go as you please. 

Groups often bring crockpot meals, snacks, and sweets. They may order pizza, go out to a local restaurant, or just keep crafting and talking late into the night.

We provide a comfortable, safe place to spend quality time with your group.

A Clean, Safe, One-Level Retreat Everyone Can Enjoy

One of the biggest concerns for group leaders is making sure everyone in the group will be comfortable. Night Owl Craft Retreat helps take that worry off your plate:

  • Clean, fully remodeled space
  • One-level layout with no stairs
  • Barrier-free, ADA-accessible design
  • Easy to move around for all guests

It’s a space that works well for a variety of needs, which makes planning much easier.
