quilt retreats

I was invited to a guild retreat in Ripley, WV. It was a wonderful three days. Check your local quilt shops for them.
I see you live in NE Ohio so I would go on www.cottonpickersquiltshop.com . They usually have them a few times a year. Her shop is located in Chardon, Oh.

I've been to many, just did a quick search on this forum and here's a link to some of the other discussions we've had.

There were many results when I Googled Ohio quilt retreat.
One of the results was a list of Ohio quilt guilds - http://www.quiltguilds.com/ohio.htm Many guilds have websites that list their retreats along with details. Usually, you are expected to be a member of the guild, but not always.
Many shops also have retreat information on their windows or counters. Also, guild and retreat information can be found at quilt shows.

I go to Charm every year on a retreat with 30 women. It is just before Thanksgiving and there is a waiting list to get in. One of my friends had been on the list 4 years and this November was her first time. Now she's in for good if she continues to come. I plan on 3 projects and really only work on 1 or 2. But have a great time.

I enjoy retreats.
I've been on personal ones (cabin on a lake with friends), and I've been to ones organized by our local quilt shop, both away (at a huge Inn on the lake) and in-shop (oh imagine, 3 days in the shop sewing, checking out the new stuff in the store, chatting with tourists and locals who've wandered in).
It is just so much fun to be surrounded by others who enjoy quilting as much as you do.
June 17-19 we're having the Longest Day retreat in our shop up here. Longest Day because here in the Yukon, we have extended sunlight hours in the spring/summer, and Summer Solstice is our LONGEST day, most of the Yukon experiences 24 hours of sunlight (for the places that don't, it's just a pinky sky for about an hour then back to daylight).
