Definitely weird. Looks like they are set up to sleep at least 12 people there, plus whatever’s going on in the 4th bedroom. Showed Mr. CAR and the first thing he said was: “That looks like that Heaven’s Gate cult.”
The first few interior pics make it look like someone is heavily into crafts, so they might be bringing cheap immigrant labor over from Asia (or???) and using them do do the work while providing them a place to stay.
Oddly enough, they have that “family” wooden carving in the one window in one of the early interior shots. I highly doubt a family is living there unless they’re one of those families who adopt massive numbers of kids, but it looks to clean for that…and they’d have to be adopting for the free labor, since they are obviously working from that home.
Wow, I never would have thunk it! I didn’t know “crafts” was a popular-enough reason to go on a “retreat.”
I guess it’s better than the Lion’s club, community center or rec center, because a participant gets to eat and spend their nights there and so live and breathe their project until it is completed, lol.
Interesting! However, I would prefer to go on a retreat to a “scenic” place more “off the beaten path” than Esco or TV.
I’m gonna guess it is a family that takes in Foster kids. Some people do this and get a stipend for each kid. There are economies of scale so if you take in enough kids, you can make it happen without it costing you much money. I suppose some people try and make a profit at it but I don’t think profit is a motivator for such people.
