Cozy Reading Retreats by Cozy Girls Getaways

Boutique Book Retreats, Custom Reading Retreats & Private Getaways for Book Lovers

Welcome to Cozy Girls Getaways Reading Retreats – your home for cozy retreats crafted especially for book lovers, women’s groups, and anyone craving a warm, slow, story-soaked escape. Whether you want to join one of our signature book retreats or design your own private reading retreat for your book club or friend group, this is your place to unwind, reconnect, and rediscover the joy of rest.

What Is a Reading Retreat?

A reading retreat is a gentle, restorative getaway built around books, conversation, comfort, and connection. Think slow mornings with a novel and coffee, afternoons curled up under blankets, and evenings with new friends talking about what you’re reading. Our bookish retreats are intentionally boutique – cozy, small-group, feminine, and designed for real rest.

If you’ve been craving a getaway that’s more than just a vacation, a boutique book retreat gives you space to breathe, reset, and be taken care of.

Join a Cozy Girls Getaways Book Retreat

Throughout the year, we host small, intimate, cozy retreats for readers in charming locations like Galena, IL and Southern California. Our signature weekends include curated reading time, bookish activities, themed welcome gifts, local experiences, and slow, intentional moments designed to refill your cup.
