Now THIS is what we call a summer reading assignment. Relax by a completely private pool or inside this (air-conditioned) beautifully renovated estate and gift yourself the time to catch up on your TBR. We know May and June are two of the busiest months of the year, especially for parents, so you deserve to treat yourself to a weekend away before summer officially begins.
Like all Novel Escapes retreats, we take care of EVERYTHING. Every meal is carefully curated (yes, we accommodate for dietary restrictions), all activities are cozy and optional, and your welcome gift will be epic. Plus, the pressure and stakes are extra low, so you really get a chance to use the weekend as a reset moment. Oh, and the company is always top-notch. Even if you don't know a soul going into the weekend, you're sure to leave with new, forever friends.
