Summer Book Retreat in Irvington

Remember summer vacation? That blissful time when your only job was to read whatever you wanted, whenever you wanted? We’re bringing it back—but with better snacks, grown-up beverages, and ideal company.

This retreat is your permission slip to:

* Actually finish that TBR pile (or at least make a dent)

* Feast on incredible meals (because you can’t read on an empty stomach)

* Discover your next favorite read in a curated stack of books included with your ticket

* Trade your usual routine for rest, relaxation, and maybe a lounge by the pool.

* Make friends with fellow humans who also judge books by their covers (it’s fine, we all do it)

* Shop at the coolest—ahem, only—independent bookstore in the Northern Neck (exclusivity has its perks!)

* Rub elbows with incredible authors at our private author dinner (yes, you can fanperson responsibly)

* Explore the charming Northern Neck and all its hidden gems

Think of it as adult summer camp, minus the trust falls and questionable cafeteria food, plus all the books your heart desires.

Here’s the catch: This is an intimate gathering with only 12 rooms available. Yes, twelve. As in, one dozen. As in, if you’re reading this and thinking “maybe later,” later might be too late.

The good news? This retreat is being planned by a community retreat planning expert (who also happens to be pretty cool), so you can expect seamless logistics and perfectly curated experiences. All you have to do is show up with your reading glasses and your sense of adventure.

Ready to treat yourself? You have a 3-day head start before we open registration to the general public, so grab your spot while you can!

P.S. If you’ve ever said “I just need to get away and READ,” this is your sign. Consider it the universe conspiring in your favor.
