They do not have running water, but do have a private composting toilet, wifi, microwave, fridge, and Keurig.&nbsp;&nbsp;There are shower\/running water facilities a short walk away in the Meadow Cottage.&nbsp;&nbsp;Let me know if you are interested in this option \u2013 if you don\u2019t have a roommate, I may be able to pair two or three single ladies together to share the cost. Please check out the facilities at the Hollis Renewal Center website \u2013 as a picture speaks volumes; the Tiny cabins are much nicer than I am able to describe.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/1rBYLPXZJop6ZVW67\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click to register for the retreat<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Contact Donna at 913 433 6752 if you have any questions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/ncp\/payment\/MQZMDGE4M39YQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Retreat Payment Link<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starlight Quilters Guild 2026 Fall Retreat Mark your calendars &#8211; the retreat dates will be&nbsp;Friday-Sunday:&nbsp;November 6-8, 2026&nbsp;&nbsp; This year we will be going to a more tranquil location and retreating at the&nbsp;Hollis Retreat Center&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;Hollis Renewal Center The Lodge will accommodate 38 day retreaters and has a large deck, access to many trails and is in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-12","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/starlightquilters.com\/SQG\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/starlightquilters.com\/SQG\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/starlightquilters.com\/SQG\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starlightquilters.com\/SQG\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starlightquilters.com\/SQG\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12"}],"version-history":[{"count":39,"href":"https:\/\/starlightquilters.com\/SQG\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2580,"href":"https:\/\/starlightquilters.com\/SQG\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12\/revisions\/2580"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/starlightquilters.com\/SQG\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
