I know how hard it can be to step away, even for a short time. As caregivers, we often feel guilty or anxious about leaving our children — but I want you to know this: you deserve rest, and your child needs you at your best.

A Dream Rest Getaway is not a family trip or another responsibility. It’s a gift of time just for you — to breathe, to sleep, to laugh, to reconnect, or to simply be still. Couples can use it to nurture their relationship, while single parents can bring a guest if that makes the time away even more meaningful.

We’ll gather the first evening for a warm welcome, so you can meet others who understand your journey if you’d like. Beyond that, your time is completely yours. Whether you spend it resting, connecting, or exploring, there are no obligations and no expectations.

This is your chance to refill your cup. To return home not empty, but renewed — with fresh strength, hope, and courage for the road ahead.

Ann Townsend,

“We love our kiddos and will always put them first, but experiencing time away was amazing! Being able to rest gave us both time to reset and come back with more energy to continue everything we do for our kids and more!”
