Well, c'mon girl! TELL US about it!
How long were you there?
Who did you go with?
How many does it hold?
Did they feed you or did you cook for yourselves?
Do they have tools?
a store?
Location?
how far in advance did you have to book?
Did someone organize for your group, or did you just book it alone?
I'm sure others will think of a few more questions

oops, sorry! didn't mean to leave you hanging, had the thought to post it just before signing off 
http://www.creativehideaway.net/
my CTMH consultant invited me and my mom to go with her. there were 2 other consultants/friends which filled up to capacity with 13 scrappers. We arrived Thursday at 5 p.m. and had to check out on Sunday at 3 p.m. **Perk** there is a young gentleman there who carried everything in for us
there are 3 bedrms with 4 twin beds and one bedrm with a single twin. The bedrms were big enough to easily maneuver around. There is 2 full baths, with both shower and tub. I slept pretty good actually. of course going to bed at 2 a.m. will do that to me
as you'll see on the website there are different packages to pick from. The organizing consultant had booked at economic. The three of us brought simple things and had use of the frig in the kitchen. I don't know if we could've cooked, we didn't plan too. we brought things like chicken salad, shredded BBQ in crockpot, etc. The two meals included are Sat lunch and Sun brunch. We weren't impressed with the food. Lunch was chicken/cheese baked in tortilla wraps, fresh fruit and Sunchips. Brunch was a egg and french toast overnight casserole, fruit and a frozen fruit slush. Again, it was just ok; nothing different than we could have thrown together the night before ourselves. Let me go on to tell you though, I like to cook and bake. So to me the meals were too simple. does that make sense?
There was a nail tech who came friday night and a massage therapist came Sat morning. I didn't take advantage of either, my Mom had a 60 min massage and said it was very good.
The crop room is a large room in the basement with a bathroom, full frig and small, limited supplies for sale. There were some creative memories products and general scrapbook store supplies, mostly paper. It's there more like a back-up was how I felt. I would not go there with the intentions of purchasing paper to crop, it was just too limited. But worth the look to see if anything coordinated with what you may be working on.
There is a computer and printer, smaller Cricut machine and several cartiridges, a red Sizzix and 2-3 alphabets and various die cuts. There was a basket with a hodgepodge of punches and stamps.
We were told it was 10 mins East of Indianapolis, and 20-25 mins from stores. Noboday went so I can't speak of what they were
Angie, the owner, was really nice and accomodating.
We booked pretty far in advance, I think January. but on her site you can see there are available weekends.

We have a ton of scrapbook retreats in my area in in WI. I went to one a few years ago that was about an hour from my house and about 5 minutes from a great casino, and on a golf course - heaven
and then there's my house - a little CM, a few minutes from a casino, a few extra beds teehehe!Seriously, though, I would go to Indiana to scrap with ya'll, can't be more than 8 -10 hours away....make it a long weekend! It would be a blast to get some DIS scrappers together, as I have only read on in envy of your wonderful CK trips and now this stamp thingie in MA....ahhhhh, someday.....

buffy -- the only way i'd ever order the kitchen sink is exactly how we did -- customize! we had only coffee, choc, vanilla types of ice cream and only chocolate type toppings, next time we'll skip the angel food cake but it didn't add a weird flavor.

I live 8 minutes from Fortville , and actually went to high school with the owner, Angie.
I have never been there (and never will get the chance to now), but I have been to Crop-A-Doodle-Do twice. Once this past weekend for my mother and I to have a weekend get away as our Mother's Day presents. It is in Arcadia Indiana just north of Indy.
Here is the link in case anyone is interested: http://www.cropadoodledo.com/

If you go to the Creative Hideaway webpage, she has decided to close it 
A huge group of girlfriends and I meet every year outside of Chicago at a scrap retreat. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. We love the owner, food is amazing and there are so many little touches that you would never think about (birthday crowns and cakes, announcing dinner by music etc) Plus, you get a lot of space to work. Tell her Shel from Indiana sent you :lol:

There is a retreat near me in Brownsburg, IN, I personally haven't been there, but I've had friends go and they loved it. I just meet out of state friends when I retreat so it's Chicago is our halfway point http://www.treasuredmemoriesretreat.com/
