Rest. Read. Reconnect.

A retreat for readers who want to slow down and get lost in a good book.

Fern & Fiction creates reading retreats in the Finger Lakes region of New York — spaces where people can step away from daily noise and nurture themselves through books, nature, and quiet community.

Fern & Fiction

A space to read again.

Fern & Fiction began with a longing to find time to truly read again — not in hurried moments, but in wide stretches of calm surrounded by nature and kindred spirits. As lifelong readers and educators, our founders envisioned a space where readers could step away from daily noise, reconnect with books that move them, and rediscover the joy of unhurried thought. Fern & Fiction grew from that seed — a retreat experience that honors reading as both pleasure and practice, solitude and connection.
 

We believe that reading is an act of rest and renewal. Our retreats invite you to put aside your to-do list, open a book, and breathe deeply — with no pressure, no assigned reading, and no agenda beyond presence.
