When was the last time you spent a weekend talkin’ romance?

Join us for a magical Galentine’s weekend with yoga, a jewelry bar, candle making and of course, book club!

Held in picturesque Lanesboro, MN, during the town’s annual Lovebirds in Lanesboro event, this retreat is a chance to get away for a weekend, cozy up with a good book, and hang out with some people who share your love for romance novels.

Come solo or round up your best romance reading buddies—either way there will be good food, lots of laughs, and hopefully some new friends by the end!

Space is limited, so book now by calling the Cottage House Inn at 507-467-2577.

We’ll see you there!

Retreat Details

  • Our book selection for the retreat is Midnight Valentine from USA Today bestselling author J.T. Geissinger (available on Kindle Unlimited, audio, and print). This is a passionate, powerful paranormal romance about the limitless nature of true love.

    Read the book before the retreat and come ready for some great discussion!

  • While the retreat itinerary will be finalized closer to the date, the weekend will include:

    • Jewelry bar—design your own jewelry piece and watch it be assembled before your eyes by the artist behind Coffey and Clay.

    • Crystal infused candle making—combine the power of crystals with the mood setting magic of candles.

    • Yin yoga—check in with your body and emotions through this gentle and meditative form of yoga led by licensed counselor and certified yoga instructor Kristin Bunge.

    • Explore downtown Lanesboro—plenty of cafes and cute shops to check out.

    • Book discussion—we’ll gather as a group to discuss the weekend read Midnight Valentine and also hope that you find lots of opportunity to chat about your love for romance novels throughout the weekend!
