Poolside Pages & Fireside Chats
Join us in East Hampton, NY · May 28-31, 2026
You don’t need permission to pause.
But you might need a place designed for it.
This spring, join us in East Hampton for a retreat built around what book lovers crave most: uninterrupted time to read, reflect, and reconnect—with yourself and with others who get it. Imagine mornings spent with coffee and quiet pages, afternoons wrapped in thoughtful conversation, and evenings full of laughter and firelight.
It’s more than a weekend away. It’s a chance to exhale—and to feel inspired again.
Only one room left. Come write your next chapter with us.

Do shared rooms mean shared beds?
Possibly—please note that in rooms with double occupancy, the beds cannot be reconfigured. If you book a shared room, and it’s a King or Queen bed, you’ll be sharing a bed with your roommate. If you're not traveling with a friend and would like to be paired, we’ll do our best to match you with someone who’s also open to sharing.
