I am Diana Baldes your retreat host. I am the mother of two great children who are on their own. After years of planning and dreaming , my place is your crafting space. Crafter's Knoll stands apart from other retreats because we are small and relaxed. Unfortunately Tyson, my dog passed away December 2023. We no longer have a resident pup. Since I only accommodate 6 guests my menu allows for individual requests and made to order desserts. Currently, I teach kindergarten in the Pontiac School District. For the past 30 years I have inspired students to be the best they can be while feeling safe and respected in my classroom. I now accept the challenge to inspire my guests to be creative while feeling "at home in my place." Welcome to Crafter's Knoll, we hope to see you soon.
