We are returning to the Finger Lakes! In 2024, the Get-Away will be at The Mansion (formerly Esperanza) on the hill overlooking Keuka Lake. In addition to a gorgeous view of the lake, The Mansion has a spacious contemporary event space which is attached to the nearly 200-year old mansion.

For accommodations, you have a choice of a room in the mansion furnished with antiques or a room in the adjacent modern inn featuring lake house-style furnishings. All rooms are equipped with modern bathrooms, refrigerators, coffee/tea makers and Wi-Fi.

In 2024, the dates will be Friday, April 26 - Sunday, April 28, with an optional add-on day Thursday, April 25. You may also opt to add the night before your retreat begins or Sunday night to unwind after the retreat ends. The Get-Away includes 3 meals a day, except for Sunday, which includes breakfast and a box lunch since the retreat ends Sunday at 3 p.m.

The prices are also less than last year. The Mansion has offered us incredibly low accommodation prices. You need to make your accommodation reservation directly with The Mansion (315-239-4800) separate from the retreat. That way you can choose the number of nights you want. The prices are the same for a double room or a single room, regardless the number of people in the room. All of the inn single rooms have king beds. The room rates depend on the night of the week and whether you are in the mansion or inn. Room prices are as follows:
Prices at the Inn:
Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday - $79 per room, per night
Friday & Saturday - $109 per room, per night
Prices at the Mansion:
Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday - $109 per room, per night
Friday & Saturday - $159 per room, per night

The prices for the retreat, which includes all meals and snacks, retreat instruction, folder with patterns and information, ballroom rental, individual work stations, welcome bag, get-acquainted reception and all the things that make this Get-Away special, needs to be paid to me and are as follows:
Basic Retreat (Friday, April 26 - Sunday, April 28) $475 per person
Additional Full Day (Thursday, April 25) +$126 per person 

As always, I made the announcement first to retreaters from the last few years. Much to my surprise, the 2024 Get-Away nearly sold out in just 2 weeks, before I could even advertise to the general public. But if you were hoping to come for the first time in 2024, or delayed registering when I first announced the Get-Away, you can still be added to the wait list when the retreat sells out. Life happens and sometimes people need to cancel. I am working with the Mansion to see if we can add a few additional workstations in the ballroom so we can increase the number of retreaters. Also, if you add your name to the wait list, I will add you to my list of regular retreaters so you will get a notification of the 2025 Get-Away when it is first announced.
