Overnight Craft Retreats
Overnight Craft Retreat in Mid-Michigan
Looking for a weekend away to craft with friends? At Night Owl Craft Retreat, you’ll get exactly that—a cozy, comfortable space to craft all day and night.
Bring your favorite projects—scrapbooking, card making, quilting, sewing, or any craft you love—and spend the weekend creating and connecting.
Located in Burton, Michigan, a few miles off I-69, Night Owl Craft Retreat is easy to get to for both local crafters and out-of-town friends.
This is a self-serve, no-frills retreat—you bring your own meals, drinks, and craft supplies.

8 Guests Max • 3 Bedrooms • 2 Bathrooms • 1 Great Weekend
We offer a self-serve, no-frills overnight crafting experience for up to 8 guests including a large crafting area, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Our property is fully renovated and is barrier-free so everyone can enjoy.
A group can rent the entire space for up to 8 crafters. A group leader will reserve the space, make the payments, and be the point person for communication for the group.
