Description

Looking for a creative & relaxing weekend in the beauty of the rural countryside?

Join friends and fellow rug hookers for three days of rug hooking at the Sauder Heritage Inn. Whether you are starting a new project or focused on completing a work in progress, this self-guided retreat is for you! All skills levels are welcome.

Rug Hooking & punch needle enthusiasts like yourself will gather in the spacious and well-lit Homestead meeting room at the Sauder Heritage Inn, where you can spread out your work, be encouraged & productive, connect with others, and have fun!

You set your own schedule for the weekend! Take advantage of the comforts of your room to sleep-in, enjoy a leisurely breakfast at the Oak Tree, or soak up some quiet time by the lobby fireplace. Pack a swim suit so you can enjoy the waterfall pool at the Inn, take a nature walk along our Wetlands Trail, or watch the sunset over cornfields from the courtyard at the Inn. The Sauder Village campus has much to offer during your stay with us!

The retreat room is open daily 8 am until midnight. Catered lunches are served in the retreat room at 12 noon and dinners are at 5:30 pm. At some point during the weekend there will be a “throw down” to show off your project!

We also give daily door prizes of handcrafted artisan items from Sauder Village’s own craft shops.
