The weekend is limited to 7 rooms (each room can be single or double occupancy), so book your room now before they sell out!

Sisters in the Wind by New York Times bestselling author, Angeline Boulley

Just released in September 2025, Angeline's third novel features a mystery about a foster teen claiming her heritage on her own terms. Ever since Lucy Smith’s father died five years ago, “home” has been more of an idea than a place. She knows being on the run is better than anything waiting for her as a “ward of the state”. But when the sharp-eyed and kind Mr. Jameson with an interest in her case comes looking for her, Lucy wonders if hiding from her past will ever truly keep her safe. Read more about this compelling book here.
