What a beautiful and peaceful spot. Who wouldn't enjoy a weekend there? I have always known there was something special about Dolores, it must be the Sophia Peace Center.

a weekend getaway would be awesome! since it feels like we hardly have alone time together because we have work and school to go to daily and by the time we are home we have family time with our 3 year son and when he is finally asleep we are to tired for anything else....

The stress of planning, just seems to keep going and going... you think your done, and then something comes up. A weekend away would be wonderful, especially since we can't afford a honeymoon after the wedding!

Have been looking for a fun mountain getaway for my new husband and I. Of course, like most other couples, we're on a tight budget! :)

Hi. This would be the perfect getaway for my soon-to-be husband and me. We are both full-time college students and new parents to a beautiful baby girl. We would love to have a nice quiet vacation to get away from the everyday stress of school work, limited funds, and how we'll ever get these wedding plans figured out before March.

Since we were just married October 3rd, and we do not get a honeymoon due to funds, this would be an amazing getaway!

Hi Debbie! Tony and I have just been engaged a week and a half. He has been wanting to ask me for awhile, but it just didn't seem like the right time. No work, dwindling funds, and his mother was going through chemo. He was in an accident last week and is lucky to be alive, let alone only have two broken hands. He decided he couldn't wait anymore and life is too short. We're so lucky to have each other! He deserves a vacation, a little relaxation, and we'd love some time to celebrate our engagement!

We would love to be given this opportunity especially since we just found out that my hours have been cut to part time and I am the sole provider for our family. We are so excited about getting married this January and it would be nice to be able to get away from it all and start our marriage off with a getaway. Thanks for taking the time to read our story!

Hi Debbie! We would so love to have a getaway at the Sophia Peace Center. We are busy wedding planning for our wedding in Durango in July. Thanks for considering us!

James works so hard to keep our family happy. I can't think of anyone who deserves this more than he. I am so thankful for him and I would give him the world if I could afford to!

Hi Debbie, this is Odis, as you know we have one of the nicest places to get married in here at Silver Mountain Guest Ranch in Durango. Christina and I got married here back in April of this year, after getting married, and having weddings here all year we certainly could use a weekend away. As said above we would love a weekend away from everthing wedding related. Thanks Odis

Planning a short notice wedding is so hard...especially when money is tight. I'm just thankful to have Duff in my life. :) He makes everything worth it...and deserves a getaway.
