If you’re looking for the Winston-Salem two hour gathering, head to Comfy Club

Comfy Club Getaway

100% of profit for/donations to the property owner go to a 501c3 Tennessee-based dog rescue, help spay/neuter Tennessee animals, and reduce the number of dogs that face euthanasia due to overpopulation.

Comfy Club Getaway is the best parts of an all-inclusive resort, a retreat, a sleepover, a craft circle, and camp.

Analog pleasures, digital pleasures, conversation, quiet, nature, stranger-friends, friend-friends, zero cooking, zero cleaning, and light structure that makes the togetherness expertly and cozily curated without making it go go go and that brings the tried and true Mac & Cheese magic.

A deliberately simple, gentle gathering of low-key humans with a you do you “schedule” and activities that support relaxation and connection. Perhaps connection to self, perhaps connection to others, perhaps connection to both.

Other than meals, you can be anywhere at any time. And hey, if you’d rather dinner to be 4:30pm wine, cheese, & crackers in the reading nook or a midnight pb&j & sweet tea in bed, you do you.

Do your own thing amongst others doing their own thing in a tucked away yet accessible wooded-estate that blends luxury and cozy, that we have all to ourselves, just outside Nashville, Tennessee.

Bonus: If you have a something-something you’d like to teach the group, yes please! A craft, yoga, bird-watching, your favorite productivity app, ??? Note your offering on the booking form. All offerings will be optional to attend of course. Saya will be in touch closer to go time RE logistics, like what space you need, how many guests will be coming, etc.

Testimonials

"The weekend was a well needed break from the frenzy of my usual life. It was one of the best gifts I have given myself."

"I signed up to spend some still time with myself and nature, grow and learn about myself, get back to the place in my childhood where I laughed and had fun, and meet others who want to do the same... and that's just what I got! Saya and Pete were made to host a weekend like this. They did a spectacular job of making me (and I'm sure everyone else) feel as comfortable as possible. I found so many similarities with others and everyone was incredibly nice. Like, REALLY nice! And supportive, as were Saya and Pete. We created so many memories and inside jokes and therefore, our own little community! (It) was a great place to connect with nature and myself and disconnect from all the ringing and buzzing of life we left behind.”

"I was blown away within one hour of finding out how unique my fellow (housemates) were and how quickly and easily we shared a sense of community and openness. The entire weekend was cathartic and energizing at the same time. It was a release and an inspiration meeting new people in such a welcoming and comforting way. I can't emphasize enough the value of focusing on yourself for the weekend. (It) allowed me to recharge through personal connections, conversation, laughter, reflection, and being in nature."

“Amazing! I got to meet and spend time with like-minded folks, learn from them, and make connections while having freedom and space to get things done. I was so completely productive because being away from it all, feeding off the energy of everyone else, and being out in nature just increased my energy and motivation. I loved the good food, good people, great house, and wonderful energy!”

“I love that at each Mac & Cheese I attend I meet new cool people and get to see cool people I've met at other events! Always quality folks, always quality activities! Being able to pick my own activity this time around and seeing what other folks chose to do was such a fun, low-key way to hang out and get a project done that I've been putting off.”

"I knew you would be a good facilitator, but it was only in attending that I fully understood how effortless you make it seem. There is so much thought put into every exercise, every quiet time, every question asked. It is only through you and Pete sharing of yourselves that enables us to be comfortable sharing as deeply as we do.”

“The most focused weekend I’ve had in a long time. The ambiance, the setting, the intention... It was just what I needed to force me to really zero in on a few items that had been on my list for months. It was a nice balance of relaxation and productivity, and the meals were amazingly delicious. As much as I tell myself in my mind I would’ve, I never would have blocked off three entire days at home to just get sh*t done – this weekend FORCED me to. A weekend well spent.”

“(Mac & Cheese) is such a cool organization! I joined Comfy Club for the first time to crochet with like minded crafters. I am very introverted, but I felt very welcomed and hope there are more Comfy Clubs!”

"I did things I have never done this weekend, spoke about things I have never shared with anyone and I did it all with people I just met and I didn't even know anyone’s last name. You guys are amazing and so brave and so real, it makes it so easy to do the same when you have others doing it with you. You are both really helping people change and it's an amazing gift to give to adults. I had the best weekend ever and made new friends which is something that has really been missing in my life. I just can't thank you enough!!”

FAQs

Whom is this for?

Friendly 21+ humans desiring a self-centric, self-directed relaxed getaway with the bonus of community, if wanted.

People really come to read a book, puzzle, or laze by the pool?

Yep!

What if I don’t have a thing to do?

Then that’s what you’ll do! Nothing.

What if I don’t have a big or sexy project, like writing a book or dropping an album?

Anything is welcome as long as it won’t disturb other people. Sometimes tiny and boring is better.

Is this unplugged?

If you want it to be. You can turn in your phone and ignore the WiFi password. Or you can be glued to your screen.

Can I come solo?

Absolutely. Mac & Cheese is known for making Party of Ones feel at ease.

Can I come with other people? Friends, coworkers, significant others?

Absolutely, as long as there are enough spots when you register.

Can I share a room with someone specific?

Yep!, as long there are rooms conducive to sharing available and you’re both able to register in time to snag a bed.

Can more than one person share a bed?

Nope. Guest numbers are capped to ensure a comfy, not packed to the rafters lodging, to avoid bathroom lines, lack of seating and room to spread out, and an overworked septic system. In order to attend, you must book a bed.

What if I want to XYZ with other people?

As long as there is an area where you can talk without disturbing others, fantastic! What a fabulous way to work on a collaboration.

What’s the refund policy?

No refunds. If you’d like to transfer your spot to someone else for this gathering, contact Saya with the name and email of the person taking your spot. You’ll need to handle payment amongst applicable parties.

When’s the next one?

As with almost everything Mac & Cheese does, to leave space for spontaneity and goodness, these are offered one at a time. Once this one concludes, the next one, if there is a next one, will be announced.

Can I bring a pet?

No.

Can I bring my kid(s)?

No.

What if I can only come for part of the weekend?

Not ideal—full goodness is the goal!—but ok. You’ll be asked to note your estimated arrival and departure times upon booking. It’s highly recommended you’re in attendance at the official start 7pm EST Thursday.

What if I’m an introvert?

Introvert-friendly environment. You’ll be amongst others but mostly doing your own thing which is your jam, right? 100% ok to say no to hanging out, to steal away to recharge, to choose self over others.

What if I have dietary restrictions?

Let us know when booking and if we think it’ll be an issue, we’ll let you know. We’re usually able to accommodate most folks, including vegetarians and vegans. 1/2 the hosts are vegan!

Should I book now or later?

Limited space so instead of adding “book that awesome event” to your To Do List, just go ahead and book now. Then you don’t have to worry about it later and you can guarantee yourself a spot. Additionally, sleeping arrangements vary widely and it’s first come.

When you say sleeping arrangements vary widely, what do you mean?

Main floor, lower level, upper level. Some bedrooms don’t require sharing and some do. Some have ensuites, some don’t. Some, another bedroom needs to walk through your room to get to their room. Beds range in size from king to twin.

When will I be told the exact location?

After you book.

Why are you doing this?

We don’t carve out enough me-time.

We head over heels adore the vibe and infectiousness that manifests when you get a diverse group of nice humans together.

What a gift to yourself to have a weekend where you can remove your adulting pants, have a guilt free marathon of doing whatever makes you squeeeeee, and enjoy multiple days of not having to make any serious decisions.

Wrapping oneself in luxury, low-key doing, + community is delightful and soul-filling.

We love doggies and supporting people who love doggies.
