Tucked away at the end of a long, winding driveway in the Catskills, The River House Retreat is our most elevated weekend yet. Set on the water with floor-to-ceiling windows, historic details, and cozy gathering spaces, this home feels like it was made for slow mornings, long dinners, and late-night conversations.

This is a softer, more intimate retreat experience. Think reading by the river, getting ready together before dinner, playing games by the fireplace, and spending a few days fully unplugged with people who just get it.

The cost is $850, and does not include airfare or transportation. Payment Plans will be available,

advice from the
fiction found family

Can the advice be to have the best time ever? Just kidding. I would say to talk to EVERYONE, and don't be afraid to grab your book and have some chill introvert time if you need it. The weekend will change your life!

- Jessica Peterson, Author of Lucky River Ranch

Reach out to some of the girls before and have conversations! I felt like I was around my family just hanging out & seriously walked away with people that I love more than anything.

Don't let fear hold you back! Be yourself and fully immerse yourself in the weekend. Play the games, talk the books, eat the food, and have fun. It truly can be one of the greatest weekends of your life.
