What should I expect at the Retreat?

The retreat is yours to spend how you wish: lounge by the pool, head to the beach, enjoy some quiet reading time, or get crafty! You'll indulge in delicious food and have the chance to browse our mini pop-up used book shop. We will have a book club discussion on the Friday evening, and a Cabana by the pool booked for Saturday!

Our Retreat Venue:

We're staying in a cozy cabin at a beautiful boutique hotel in Grand Bend! A gorgeous pool right on property is the perfect place to unwind - sip on a refreshing beverage and enjoy the relaxing vibe, complete with a live DJ. The beach is a short walk away, right on Lake Huron. As always, there will be plenty of room to gather and discuss our latest book obsession, or escape to a quiet corner for some peaceful reading time. There is plenty of parking available.

Guests:

Our retreats are intimate gatherings of 5-15 book lovers, ranging in age from 20s to 60s. Our shared passion for reading brings us together; whether you're an introvert seeking quiet moments or a social butterfly, you'll find your fit!

What's included:

• Two nights accommodations - Every guest has their own bed within a shared space, or private bedroom, depending on which ticket is booked.

  • If you are travelling with a friend and would like to share a bed, please contact us before booking for a discounted price.

  • If you are travelling with a friend and would like to be placed in the same room (but not share a bed), there is a spot on the registration form to include their name.

• Five meals, from dinner on Friday to breakfast on Sunday

  • We can accommodate most dietary specifications, including vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy-free - however, please contact us BEFORE booking to allow us to verify.

• Book Club Book - Before the retreat, all participants will receive a physical copy by mail of Burnout Summer by Jenna Ramirez, a 2026 Romance release, which will be the topic of the book club session. This is OPTIONAL reading, but a great way to connect with other retreat guests!
