Every small business has a story, and for Heartland Retreat & Rental Hall, it began with a simple question: "Do you think this would make a good retreat space?"For Heartland Retreat & Rental Hall owner Lissia Laehn, the answer was a resounding "Go for it!" Just three days later, she purchased the building that would become a welcoming destination for creativity, connection, and making memories.
Located in Elmore, Heartland Retreat & Rental Hall offers overnight accommodations for groups of up to 21 guests with a two-night minimum stay. While the venue welcomes a variety of gatherings, quilting retreats are Lissia's true passion. As an avid quilter herself, she designed Heartland to be a place where fellow makers can gather, create, laugh, and make lasting memories together.
One of the most special touches at Heartland is something guests may not notice right away. Every quilt covering the retreat's 21 beds was handmade by either Lissia or by guests who attended quilting retreats at Heartland. It's a beautiful reflection of the care, craftsmanship, and sense of community that fills the space. Every quilt tells a story, and every guest becomes part of Heartland's story as well.
Since opening in 2021 after extensive renovations, Heartland has earned praise from guests who describe the space as warm, comfortable, and inviting.If you're looking for the perfect place for your next crafting retreat, family gathering, team meeting, or special event, consider supporting this wonderful local business!
Thank you, Lissia, for investing in Faribault County and creating a space where people can connect, create, and make lasting memories.
