Book a Break Reading Retreat – The Creepy and Cozy Edition
October 16–19, 2025 | Peak Foliage, Peak Cozy

This fall, escape to a private home nestled in the heart of the Berkshires for a one-of-a-kind reading retreat during peak foliage season. Surrounded by brilliant autumn colors and sweeping mountain views, this retreat offers the perfect blend of serenity, seasonal beauty, and bookish joy.

Our home for the weekend is a warm, inviting space designed for relaxation—with floor-to-ceiling views of the vibrant treetops, cozy reading nooks, and the kind of quiet that lets you sink deep into a story. Whether you’re wrapped in a blanket by the fire or curled up beside a window with a hot drink and a favorite book, you'll have front-row seats to the magic of fall in New England.

Our home for the weekend is a retreat in every sense:
🍁 A wall of windows with sweeping mountain views and endless fall color
🔥 A cozy fireplace for reading by the fire
🧖‍♀️ A private sauna and indoor pool for ultimate relaxation
☕ A back porch overlooking the foliage, perfect for your morning coffee or golden hour reading
🛍️ Just 15 minutes from charming small-town spots—bookstores, bakeries, and hidden local gems

As always, you can expect all the Book a Break touches:

  • Themed book discussions across genres—think thrillers, cozy fantasies, spooky romances & more

  • Autumn-inspired crafts with a bookish twist

  • Delicious seasonal meals and snacks

  • An author chat (guest TBD)

  • Plenty of time to unwind, reflect, and connect with fellow book lovers—or escape into your own quiet moment

  • Take part in bookish activities and crafts to enhance your retreat experience. Think coastal or fall inspired homegoods, bookish fan favorites, and many more!

  • Unwind at social happy hours, offering the perfect opportunity to relax and connect with fellow attendees.

  • Book discussions throughout the weekend about the chosen books, our highlighted author, and the trading of TBR recommendations!

If you're looking for a retreat that blends mountain views, fall magic, and bookish comfort, this Berkshires weekend is your perfect next chapter.
