Welcome to The Sweet Cocoon
Nestled on 20 tranquil acres at 45 Ellis Road, Rome, GA 30161, The Sweet Cocoon is a peaceful retreat dedicated to providing a relaxing and supportive space for children with special needs and their families.
From birthday parties to fundraising events, we host a variety of activities throughout the year to bring our community together.
If you're interested in hosting an event or planning a celebration for your child, we would be honored to assist in creating a memorable experience for your family.
How it started
The Sweet Cocoon was founded in loving memory of Marlowe Treglown, who passed away at 18 from Sanfilippo Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder. On Marlowe’s 17th birthday, her mother, Amanda, wrote a poem with the line, “You are a precious caterpillar wrapped in a sweet cocoon, who'll emerge into a beautiful butterfly in Heaven way too soon.” This sentiment inspired the name of our retreat.
At The Sweet Cocoon, we offer a peaceful space for children with special needs and their families to rest, relax, and connect. Our mission is to provide comfort, love, and a supportive community, just as Marlowe’s memory continues to inspire us.
