Reading Retreats 2026

This September, escape to the golden hush of early fall in the Canadian Rockies for a Prattle & Prose reading retreat at Island Lake Lodge, just outside Fernie, BC. Tucked deep in the mountains, Island Lake offers a rare sense of seclusion—where crackling fires, misty mornings, and cedar and larch-lined trails set the pace.

Designed for women who love books, beauty, and meaningful conversation, this intimate retreat blends guided reading discussions with long, luxurious stretches of unstructured time. Spend your days reading by the fire, wandering forest paths, soaking in the spa, or lingering over thoughtfully prepared meals. Evenings invite reflection, connection, and the quiet magic that happens when stories are shared in a place that feels entirely removed from the world.

Come for the books. Stay for the stillness. Leave restored, inspired, and deeply well-read.
