There were so many people coming and going that they could not even take time to eat, so He said to them, "Come with Me by yourselves to a place where we can be alone, and you can get some rest." Mark 6:31

Note that He said, "Come and rest," not "Go and rest." True rest is found in companionship with the Lord. Resting is not merely a ceasing of toil but coming apart and fellowshipping with Him.

Hear it here from a fellow scrapbooker! 

"A few weeks ago my friend and I decided we needed a weekend away for scrapbooking.  We found Mary through the internet and decided to take a chance.  I have been to a dozen or so of these weekend scrapbook retreats and I have to say that I was very pleasantly surprised by the scrapbooking accommodations.  Mary had 8 ft. tables for us to scrapbook on along with lights and nice rolling office chairs to sit in.  Mary definitely did her homework since I don't think she even scrapbooks.  The Annex is a nice place with three separate bedrooms, bathroom and a kitchen area.  Everything was clean and tidy.  
Mary made great meals and her hospitality was heartwarming.  The entire experience was wonderful.  We looked at the other two scrapbooking venues (she is talking about our Cottage and the Cabin) and they were all very nice but, I would pick the Annex again for scrapbooking.  My friend and I enjoyed our experience so much, we definitely want to plan another trip.

Hear what others say.....

"Personally, I like staying 3 nights because if we don't, we only have 1 full 24 hr day. Staying a 3rd night, I feel like we can relax some instead of feeling like we have to crop the whole time to get something done. I absolutely love coming there and the longer I can stay, the better. lol I think we've been there 5 times, staying 3 nights 2 or 3 of the times. We've been there in the Spring and Fall."


"I'm very fond of the cows. I'm not joking. Being around those cows (or heifers or cattle or whatever the proper bovine term is) really relaxes me. I like sitting on the deck on Sunday morning drinking coffee with Sue and Jackie. We talked about our flaming youth in Catholic high schools. It's a quiet, comfortable place to be for a couple days, where you're away from the phone and the TV and the everyday. I'm a slow scrapper, but I'm not in a hurry there, so it works for me."


"For me, it seems like there is a lot of preparation to leave the kids, and then you feel like right after you get there you have to turn around and come back! At least with 3 days, I get to actually relax and have some time to enjoy myself. It is a lot more than just scrabooking, it is a little vacation for me. Since I am a stay-at-home mom and need a much deserved break once in a while!"

"My mother-in-law, sister-in-law and I spent two and a half days at Koinania.  What a wonderful experience we had!  The cabin was beautiful - very clean and homey feeling.  The view of the lake from the inside and from the deck was both beautiful and peaceful.  My MIL and SIL slept in the bed and I slept on the futon and we were plenty comfortable.  The refrigerator held all of the "snacks" we brought.  The meals Mary provided were very good - nothing fancy (real food)!  Breakfast on the deck was so relaxing!  Mary had tables, chairs and lamps already set up for us to use for our scrapbooking - we also used the kitchen counter for our Cri-cut machine.  The three of us had plenty of room to spread out and we probably could have made room for one more.  The weather was perfect while we were there - and it was so quiet!!!  We even drove down a little ways to the creek and hunted for "pretty rocks".  All in all, the weekend was wonderful!  We really enjoyed the hospitality from Mary and her husband  - they would do anything for you if you asked!  We would highly recommend staying in the cabin to scrapbook and look forward to going back again!"
