The Ember Weekend

A Cottage Retreat in Maine

September 18–21, 2025 | Just 2 Spots Available

A Cozy Weekend of Wine, Rest & Witchy Vibes

We booked the dreamiest Maine cottage and decided to turn it into a weekend retreat for two women who are craving a real break.
No itinerary. No big group. Just the comfort of soft beds, good snacks, deep breaths, and subtle seasonal magic.

If you've been feeling overstimulated, overbooked, or just... over it—this is your cue to slow down.
You book your flight. We'll handle the rest.

  • Absolutely. This weekend is perfect for solo travelers looking for a restful, soulful getaway. Each woman will have her own bed, and we’ll create an easy, cozy rhythm together.
