• Where are you located?

Halfway between Indianapolis and Cincinnati, Hickory Road Inn is about 7 miles north of Batesville Exit 149 from I-74.

• How much are your rates?

Rates vary depending on the number of nights booked for your Craft Retreat:  $150 2-Night Per Person; $200 3-Night Per Person (minimum group size applies).  Click on the "Book Now" tab for more details.

• Do you provide craft supplies and/or craft equipment?

No, we don't.  Each guest should bring their own craft supplies and equipment with them to the Craft Retreat.  We DO provide 6 ft. tables for each guest, chairs, outlet strips, cutting mat, ironing board, and quilt design wall.  Click on the "Retreats" tab for a complete list.

• What happens if the weather is bad?

Your safety is our number one priority.  If the roads are unsafe to drive on or there is a random natural disaster occurrence on the date of your arrival, your Craft Retreat will be rescheduled.

• How does payment work?

A group deposit is placed at time of booking and secures your Craft Retreat dates on our calendar.  We now offer online booking with debit/credit card.  The remaining balance is due at the time of your Craft Retreat by cash, check, or debit/credit card.  

• Are hosts located on site?

Yes, our family lives on site but our personal space is separated from guest space and you will only see our hostess, Jennifer, during breakfast or as needed by guests.

• What meals are included?

We are only licensed to provide breakfast and that is included in the cost of your Craft Retreat.  The guest kitchenette includes a refrigerator, microwave, coffee makers, and crockpot to prepare meals.  If guests prefer to eat out, nearby Oldenburg as well as Batesville provide many good restaurants to enjoy.

• Do you offer gluten-free breakfast items?

Yes!  Our breakfasts are made from scratch each morning so we can easily accommodate dietary needs.

• Do I need to bring my wagon to carry in craft supplies?

No, it is not necessary.  We offer our porter service so you don't have to carry in your craft supplies/luggage!
