... NOt really.
Candles exist and are great sources of light. I can do pretty much normal stuff, albeit with less noise. I just make more artwork.
Fire exists and you can cook on it. Refrigeration, however, doesn't. Showers suck because they are cold, but for 48 hours, most will just skip it. Otherwise, heat up water on the fire for washing up.
Depending on where you live, you might not have water. I've lived a few places on a well that absolutely required electricity to have running water.
Besides, what you are talking about is ... relaxation and vacation. Folks do this all the time when they go camping. Or here, stay out in a primitive cabin in the mountains. One doesn't need to go full nomad to experience benefits from a relaxing vacation weekend.
