Reading, crafting, nature walks, outdoor yoga, cozy accommodations all along with yummy meals and snacks - this was the perfect getaway for busy women who are longing for a restful, relaxing reset. I can’t wait for the next retreat. ~ Tracy 2026

I loved how everything was planned and all I had to do was show up, relax, and enjoy myself. Taking a walk to the lake, doing a fun craft, and yoga outside in our beautiful surroundings was just what I needed. ~ Nicole 2026

I’ve attended two reading retreats hosted by Novel Retreats and Gifts, and both experiences were truly exceptional. From Springtime in Nevada City to Wintertime in Lake Tahoe, our host, Corinne, thoughtfully curated relaxing and restorative weekends in beautiful settings. I especially appreciated not having to plan or bring anything—everything was taken care of. All I had to do was arrive with a good book and enjoy the experience. Between dedicated reading time, short walks, yoga, and crafting, every moment felt intentional and rejuvenating. I can’t wait to attend another retreat! ~ Amber 2026
