Meet Jackie

My name is Jackie DeJongh and I'm married and have two little girls ages 4 and 1. When I'm not being a mom or working I enjoy sewing, knitting, reading, and baking. I enjoy all the seasons  of Michigan but I especially love winter. My favorite thing about Into the Woods would have to be preparing all the delicious meals and treats that ITW is famous for!

Meet Mercedes

Hi all!  My name is Mercedes Saurbaugh and I am the owner of Into the Woods Retreat.  I am married, and have 2 young boys.  When I am not at the retreat I am working as a therapist at Bethany Christian services, having fun with friends and family, playing outside, or at the gym.  I like to scrapbook, bike, travel, and organize fun girls nights!  My favorite thing about the retreat is the relaxing enviornment.  No matter how stressful my day is, I feel better when I walk in the front door.  Based on the reactions of the guests, I think it is love at first sight for them too!
