Book a Break Reading Retreat – Provincetown, MA -The Creepy and Cozy Edition
Join us this October as we return to vibrant Provincetown for a fall retreat that blends spooky season charm with cozy coastal vibes. The Creepy & Cozy Edition is all about the stories that make us shiver, swoon, and stay up reading just one more chapter—perfectly paired with crisp air, seaside strolls, and mugs of something warm.
A Cozy, Coastal Escape for Book Lovers
Tucked at the tip of Cape Cod, Provincetown is the perfect setting for a fall reading retreat. With its mix of seaside serenity and creative charm, it’s an ideal place to relax, recharge, and get lost in a great book. Picture crisp October air, ocean views, and cozy corners—whether you're curled up by the inn’s fireplace or reading in an Adirondack chair on the porch, waves in the background.
Theme of the Retreat: “The Creepy and Cozy Edition”
This October, we’re heading back to Provincetown for a reading retreat that celebrates everything we love about fall: cool coastal air, crackling candles, and stories that send a shiver or a swoon down your spine.
The book stack for this retreat is full of autumn energy—think spicy small-town romances, moody mysteries, paranormal love stories, and gentle, magical adventures perfect for reading under a blanket. As always, we’ll feature a can't-miss author chat (guest TBD) to bring your retreat experience to life.
We’re bringing back some Ptown favorites, including Drag Trivia Night, and we’ll be exploring new local gems for dining, laughs, and maybe even a rooftop dinner (weather permitting!). Seasonal crafts will lean into autumn’s magic, mixing bookish charm with coastal flair.
If you’re craving a retreat that gives you all the fall feels—with time to read, connect, and indulge—this one’s for you.
Activities:
Enjoy unlimited reading time in a peaceful, distraction-free environment designed for complete relaxation.
Read in the comfort of your room, on one of the inn's many charming porches with breathtaking views, or on the beach just steps away from the inn. Grab a room with a shared or private porch for even more special spots to read.
Explore the scenic town or nearby National Seashore beaches with complimentary bike rentals.
Participate in a fun and engaging Drag-Hosted Literary Event.
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!
