Hidden Falls Farm - great place to hang with friends
The owner is very welcoming, the building is great for friends to sew/quilt/do whatever hobby they like together. the beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook. The property is great to take a walk and stretch your legs. I've been twice and trying to get a group to book again...

Sewing Retrest
I spent 3 nights last week at the retreat center and loved it. Hidden Falls just opened and everything is new and well done. Bed linens very nice. Anything we needed was there.

Tastefully decorated and very charming. Large well equipped kitchen. Ice makers and coffee pots. Front Porch swing if you need a quick break.

The sewing area is a large two-car attached garage. There were 13 of us and It was a bit tight but very doable. easy to chat and learn from other quilters. The sewing area is fully equipped with anything and everything you needed. Very accommodating. Good irons and large design boards.

The second day we ate lunch at The Bread of Life, a Mennonite buffet/restaurant. They also have a cute boutique in the restaurant.
And then a 10 minute drive to. “The Quilters Trunk”. A nice and very reasonably priced. Quilt store.

Restaurant and quilt shop about 15-20 minute drive from Hidden Falls.

Toni the owner just happened to be there when we arrived. Always nice to meet the owner and she was Very welcoming.

Three hour drive from Cincinnati.

Hidden Falls fun with all the frills.
What a nice, upscale place to sew, eat, laugh and play. The sewing room was well appointed with tables, lights, chairs, ironing boards and beautiful quilts displayed to inspire. The living areas are big and filled with comfortable sofas and chairs., puzzles, TV, and attached to the kitchen area. The kitchen was fully stocked so, all we needed to bring was food. The bedrooms are perfect and the beds comfortable. There is much more to tell but I would be typing all day. The bottom line is that this is a great place to have a retreat or take classes. I hope to return for another retreat!

TOP NOTCH!
The Hidden Falls Farm Retreat in Nancy, KY is absolutely top notch! The rural setting is peaceful and beautiful. Facilities and amenities are amazing! Comfortable beds, everything is updated and gorgeously decorated. Crafting space has great lighting, ample space, with stations for cutting, pressing, and designing. The owner, Toni Raynolds, is super and has hit it out of the park with this new retreat center! I have already booked a return trip and foresee many more thereafter.

Instructor-Led Technique Tuesday
Had a great time learning a new technique with a new tool to increase precision with piecing. The instructor, Toni Raynolds, is not only knowledgeable, but facilitates a positive learning environment with her calm, patient, and encouraging teaching style. I love the table runner I completed and look forward to more opportunities for day classes at Hidden Falls Farm Retreat.
