The Destination
South Shore R&R is a timeless lakeside destination nestled along Michigan’s western coast. Accommodations include several cozy cabins and a rustic lodge, and amenities such as a private beach and hot tub make for a fun and memorable escape.
The Itinerary
We give you the space to simply read. Or, join in on optional book chats, creative sessions, or gentle movement. We also provide a curated welcome bag full of thoughtful, cozy, bookish surprises, optional massages available on site, and a few bookish surprises as the weekend unfolds.

"Retreats by Sonder& are a DREAM for book lovers. I've been to one for adults that was the definition of cozy: fireplace, blankets, nowhere to go and nothing to do but talk books, read books, start a list to buy new books :) Everyone needs a weekend like this. And, they do one for kids and families too which is even more magical! The kids get to meet with real authors, explore new books, make new friends and exercise their imaginations across the resort. With all food and lodging taken care of, it's a great deal."
— Francie Schnipke Richards
"I had the pleasure of attending my first Readtreat this January and it was a much needed escape from the world in the company of book lovers with cozy blankets by a fireplace. There was delicious food, delightful conversations, yoga, and even optional dips in the hot tub and sauna. Lindsay also planned some awesome activities! Creating our own mini bookshelf was a favorite of mine as I'm someone who loves organizing and books!!"
— Laura Gouin
"Thank you again so much for the sacred and safe space you created for us all to unfurl in whatever way we each needed. Please keep doing these! You have such a gift for it."
— Laura Gouin

No Cooking, No Cleaning
Our onsite chef prepares all meals for the entire weekend, so you don't have to lift a finger to enjoy healthy, delicious, gourmet food. Chef Colleen works with all food allergies and sensitivities, and works to ensure that you feel cared for throughout your stay with us. Take a look at our sample menu below for an idea of what we'll be enjoying this winter:
Treat Yourself
Our beautiful lakeside escape has plenty of options for prime relaxation. Give your brain and body a well-deserved respite in our hot tub or sauna, or book a massage on site. We also have optional gentle yoga available every morning if you like to get your day started with mindful movement.
Reading Together (or alone!)
The most important element of our weekend together is reading. We have an optional daily book club if you like to discuss your books and its themes, or you're welcome to find one of the many cozy corners of the lodge and devour a story solo.
