Suggestions for Sisters of Life -esque retreat house...in the South?

This is a question for folks who have been on retreats at Villa Maria Guadalupe in Connecticut.  (I know a lot of people have because they're always full!)

Does anyone know of a comparable order in the Southern US that does comparable retreats?  By comparable, I mean:

1) A similar mix of silence/prayer, adoration, and cool/enthusiastic/orthodox/fun sisters?

2) Co-ed retreats that aren't marriage encounters

3) A similar orthodox-yet-laid-back, non-geriatric vibe among the retreatants?  As in, serious prayerful weekend retreats for the under-40 crowd? With maybe a foosball table?

When my husband and I lived in NYC we used to go up there all the time.  We actually met on a retreat with the Sisters of Life.  Now that we're in the south, we miss that part of our relationship! 

At this point I am considering just signing up for the next retreat in CT and flying us both up there. But that sounds super-expensive and inconvenient. 

We could drive anywhere in TX, AR, LA, TN, OK...

Thanks. God bless you!
