Read what others have said about our Retreats

Just came back from a scrapbooking retreat with girlfriends. We stayed at Koinania in the Hummingbird House for the first time but most certainly won’t be the last. Great experience in a spotless place with delicious food. The very best Chicken Pot pie I ever tasted. Lovely property to roam and explore. A wonderful extensive collection of DVDs to watch while you crop. Our hostess Emily and her family are so kind, friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend.

We asked Emily if we could do a quilt retreat and she said she would love to do that! We were her first and it won’t be her last!
She had the tables all set up for us.. she can have 6 quilters comfortable. She had an ironing board and iron for us. We told her how to make some design walls! We brought some for us.
Emily’s cooking is excellent..home cooking and sooooo good!! We had an awesome time and we are definitely booking next year!
I highly recommend trying this place out and I’m sure it won’t be your last!
