Would you like to find out a little more about West Mountain Retreat?

Here's what they had to say about themselves:

"We are so excited to be a part of the Holiday House Boutique giveaway!

We are a mom and daughter team who LOVE to entertain and pamper guests at our beautiful and spacious lodge in Donnelly, Idaho. Our weekend retreats are a chance for you to get away from the hectic pace of your daily life, and spend a few days relaxing with your friends, your mom, your crafting group, or your sisters. Our guests enjoy gourmet meals, comfortable beds, and a chance to eat dessert in the hot tub! (And can I just say that our Tunnel of Fudge Cake tastes even better in the hot tub!)

So, what will you be doing at our retreat? Guests at West Mountain Retreat usually bring a craft project to work on. Some sew, or quilt; others work in their scrapbooks, or make cards; and some simply enjoy a good book by the fireplace! We offer cooking and craft classes to our guests, including a pie making class, a bread making class, a basic photography class, a stamping class, and an online scrapbooking class. We also have craft projects available for you to purchase, such as bead bracelets, altered notebooks, and wooden frames to decorate. These projects are fast and easy, and come with free creative help from us!

Many of our guests get their PhD’s (Projects Half-Done) completed during their stay with us! With over 50 hours of uninterrupted time, you are sure to get those creative juices flowing, and that long overdue project DONE!

Of course we might interrupt you to feed you a homemade meal . . . but it will be worth it! Our meals are all homemade, and even better, they are ADULT food! These are things your kids wouldn’t dare eat . . . but you will LOVE! And you may also want to take a break to get a massage from Barb, our talented massage therapist, or a spa treatment from Traci, our awesome manicurist/pedicurist. There is nothing more relaxing than getting a pedicure from Traci while eating a homemade chocolate chip cookie, or drinking a cup of creamy hot chocolate.

Not convinced yet? Check out our website to see a sample menu, pictures of our lodge, available dates, and to read what our guests have said about their experience at West Mountain Retreat.

http://www.blogger.com/www.westmountainretreat.com

With a price tag of only $200, this is a fantastic value. (No . . . not $200 per night. Two hundred for the entire weekend, with all your lodging and food included. It’s a steal!)

Or, you can come to the Holiday House Boutique and enter our giveaway and come for absolutely FREE!

Our guests come as strangers, but leave as lifelong friends. We hope you will be one of the amazing women we get to meet in 2011!"

The Spring Boutique has come and gone...

2010-03-29T09:56:00.009-06:00

For those of you that were able to stop by the Holiday House Spring Boutique and Fashion Show, thank you so much for coming! This was the first year we’ve held a spring boutique, and your enthusiastic attendance proved it to be a great success. It was so fun catching up with friends old and new and celebrating all things girly! A special thanks goes out to Boise Hunter Homes for sponsoring this event and providing such a beautiful setting, to Love, Lori Designs for being our very first guest designer, and of course, to our wonderful vendors without whom we would not exist.

And if we missed you this time around, please enjoy this video wrap-up courtesy of some VERY talented friends of ours, B Roll Production Company and Melissa Niu Photography. They have captured the day beautifully—if only all memories could be like this, accompanied by a great soundtrack and shot from flattering angles!
