FAST FACTS ABOUT THE HOUSE
Bedrooms and Bathrooms
The house can accommodate up to 16 guests in individual beds located in five bedrooms. There are also three full bathrooms on the bedroom level and a powder room on the main floor.
Reservations include one set of bed linens, bath towel & washcloth, and an extra blanket per person. We also have Dohm white noise machines in each bedroom.
Kitchen
The kitchen is fully stocked with enough dinnerware to serve 16 guests plus extras! We have a large collection of pots & pans, serving ware, and cooking utensils for your use. There is both a drip coffee pot and Keurig coffeemaker. Appliances include a 6-burner gas range, double wall oven, full-sized side-by-side fridge/freezer and an additional fridge for overflow in the nearby laundry room.
Dining Room
Enjoy a separate dining area with plenty of room for your group. Two farmhouse-style tables seat 16+ and there are additional seats available around the kitchen island.
Crafting and Workspace
You never have to put away your projects for a meal at the Whatever Craft House! Our spacious 35 foot by 14 foot workspace provides plenty of space for your group to spread out and get things done. (Or at least get them started!)
The room has seating available for each of your 16 guests to have approximately 2'x3' of workspace. There are power strips available as well as a few extension cords and task lamps.

While we recommend that you bring any items that are essential to your project, you will find a variety of supplies at the house to make your suitcase a bit lighter.

Note: these items are available for your use, but they are shared among groups. Please use responsibly and clean appropriately for your fellow crafters.
Living Room
The Whatever Craft House is fortunate enough to have a separate space available for gathering and lounging when you need a break from your projects. Cozy vintage couches and chairs invite guests to pick a crochet afghan from the basket and snuggle in.
There is also a television with DVD player located in the Living Room. You are welcome to log in to your favorite streaming service - just remember to log out when you leave!
