After the huge success of our Midwest Fall Readers Retreat in Galena, Illinois, Cozy Girls Getaways is heading west for a new kind of summer escape – one that’s sun-soaked, stress-free, and made for book lovers who crave a break from it all.

Join us June 12-15, 2026 for our SoCal Summer Reading Retreat at Khyra Beaucrest Ranch in Cherry Valley, California – a luxurious countryside estate nestled between the San Bernardino Mountains and Palm Springs.

If you loved following along (or attending!) our Galena retreat, you’ll adore what we have planned for this one.

From the Midwest to the Mountains – Cozy Girls Goes West

Our Midwest Fall Readers Retreat was everything we dreamed of – cozy vibes, crisp air, new friendships, and plenty of time to read. Guests left glowing, rested, and already asking, “When’s the next one?!”

We listened – and decided to bring the same spirit of slow living and literary relaxation to sunny Southern California.

This time, instead of sweaters and cider, we’ll swap them for cozy shorts, sparkling drinks, and long afternoons by the pool with a good book.

A Reading Retreat Like No Other

The SoCal Summer Reading Retreat isn’t a conference or workshop. It’s a curated, all-inclusive getaway where women can fully unplug and indulge in the simple joy of reading – without worrying about meals, chores, or schedules.

Your only job? To relax.

Here’s what you can look forward to:

Lazy Summer Days

Sleep in. Lounge by the pool. Read on the patio with mountain views. There’s no agenda – just sunshine, stories, and the sweet sound of nothing on your to-do list.

Bookish Connection

Bring your current read or pick from our shared “Cozy Library.” We’ll host lighthearted group chats for anyone who wants to gush about their latest plot twist or audiobook crush.

Home-Cooked Comfort

Our team handles all the cooking and cleaning, serving up delicious meals, snacks, and dessert you don’t have to lift a finger for.

Simple, Joyful Activities

For guests who love a little creativity, we’ll offer casual craft sessions like book bedazzling, adult color books, or cozy cookie decorating. You can join in – or simply read while others craft.

Evenings Under the Stars

End your day with good company, a glass of something sparkling, and the kind of laughter that only happens when women gather to unwind.

The Setting: Khyra Beaucrest Ranch

Located just outside Palm Springs, 90 minutes from Los Angeles and San Diego, Khyra Beaucrest Ranch offers 15 acres of private tranquility – with modern luxury tucked into every corner.

Guests will stay in beautifully furnished rooms inside the mansion or in one of the charming private cottages. The property includes:

• A sparkling pool and terrace
• Fire pits and outdoor dining patios
• Peaceful walking paths and gardens
• Indoor lounges perfect for reading or chatting
• Pickleball courts, a fishing pond, and open space to roam

It’s the perfect blend of California sunshine and countryside calm – tailor-made for Cozy Girls who love a little luxury with their leisure.

What Guests Loved About Our Last Retreat

At our Galena retreat, guests shared that their favorite part wasn’t just the setting or the activities – it was the permission to rest.

Here’s what some attendees said:

It was the first time in year I truly relaxed.

I read two full books and didn’t cook once – perfect.

The friendships I made were the real surprise.

We’re carrying that same cozy energy into our SoCal summer escape – with a little extra sunshine.

A Final Word

At Cozy Girls Getaways, we believe that women deserve time to slow down, unplug, and enjoy the simple things – like turning pages, sipping coffee, and being taken care of for once.

Whether you’re a solo reader looking for peace and quiet or a group of girlfriends ready for a bookish weekend away, this retreat was made for you.

So pack your favorite paperback, your comfiest loungewear, and your favorite floppy hat. We’ll take care of the rest.
