The Pine City Scrapbooking Co. — Local services in Pine City

I just attended a retreat recently I was thrilled with the scrapbook store itself, beautiful products. Well organized, not crowded and well lit. The staff was very friendly and the prices were great! They seemed to have a steady stream of customers besides the retreat ladies. The retreat itself was very different than anything my group had ever done. We are a pretty seasoned group of retreaters. The sleeping area is right next to the work area. Kind of like having the poolside room at a hotel. The building is very old so drafty floors and I’m guessing hard to regulate the heat. Half of us were sweating to death in our rooms at night and the other half sleeping in sweats, socks and adding more blankets. The parking is not ideal especially in the spring and I’m guessing in the winter as well. Unfortunately we tracked in tons of sand and dirt and there really wasn’t any sort of mats to wipe our feet off on as we came in the door. Definitely a place where you felt you had to wear some sort of footwear at all times. Everything I brought back home was sandy. Repeat retreaters I saw ended up bringing their own coffee pots, an industrial coffee maker would have been great. Bathroom is spacious however no bath mats or non slip anything on the floor so stepping out on to the tile floor could be dangerous for some! The two tv’s were nice but no directions to go with the 4 remotes that came with the tv as to how to switch from Roku to local channels or cable. I didn’t see emergency contact numbers (for the owners) readily available, they may have been there but I didn’t see them. I believe a little attention to updating and upkeep along with adding a lounge area/ living room area for those taking a break from crafting would be a huge plus. I would definitely recommend the scrapbook store to everyone but I will not be attending this...

Just came back from a Mother's Day weekend with my daughter and stayed in the retreat center. We have stayed before and found that yes, some things could be better, but all in all we had a great time. The owner is very helpful and friendly and even though he had a TON of product to put away was always there to help us if needed. We enjoy the store and retreat center and the town in general. Things are what you make of them, if you want to go and have fun with family and friends then this is the place for you. If you are expecting mints on your pillow and a swanky environment then stay home. We had a fantastic time and will be back. I do recommend Pine City Scrapbooking for your scrapping needs and just a nice place to hang out with others and get...

I've wanted to visit for sooooo loooong, and finally was able to make it, and it just happened to be the first day of the fall "garage sale"! Holy gosh, so freaking excited to have found a locally owned scrapbook supply store - they are so very few and far in-between these days!! I found an absolutely insane amount of goodies for amazing prices! Everyone was so friendly and helpful (I'm rocking a walking boot, so I take up a silly amount of room and move too slow for the time being), and understanding of my wanting to just 'plant' myself and my goodies in a spot. 😊 I will definitely be back again in the not-too-distant future! Yay!! Thank you for putting together the great sale and for having an...
