About Hollyhock

On the southern shore of Cortes Island in the Salish Sea, Hollyhock has welcomed retreatants since 1982. Stays include garden-to-table meals, morning movement classes, naturalist walks, and time to wander forest trails, paddle sheltered coves, or soak in ocean-view hot tubs. Hollyhock is one of the picks in Mindful’s 2027 Retreat Guide.
