Perfect for vacation, romantic getaway, or personal retreat with option for on-site life coaching.  
  
Need to get away from the “noise” of your everyday life? Sanctuary provides the space and serenity to think, dream, pray and……listen.  
  
Sleep in late, take a stroll around the property, sip wine by the fire pit and listen to the tree frogs. Even if you want to stay in your pajama’s your entire stay, we’ve got books, board games and solitude for you.  
  
THINGS TO DO  
  
\-Enjoy gorgeous sunsets over the Peaks of Otter  
\-Take walks around the 2 acre pond or down the long gravel driveway  
\-Sleep in as late as you want in the king sized bed.  
\-Sit in the gazebo sipping a cup of coffee or your favorite wine  
\-Drive 10 min to hike the numerous trails at the Peaks of Otter

\-Visit the D-Day Memorial (history buffs + veterans)  
  
LIVING AREA  
\-couch + reading chair  
\-inspirational books  
  
BEDROOM  
\-king bed  
\-closet  
  
KITCHEN  
\-stove, fridge, microwave, farmhouse sink  
\-Keurig coffee maker  
\-seating for 2  
  
BATHROOM  
\-tub/shower combo w/ mountain view  
\-sink + toilet  
  
CLIMATE CONTROL: Central heat + air provides for your comfort in winter or summer.   
  
All linens graciously provided.  
  
\*OPTIONAL ADD-ONS  
  
1\. Each day, the hosts can provide you with an inspiring note and question that sets the table for you to maximize your thinking and expand your mind to possibilities. ($10 extra a day for notes and questions)   
  
2\. Contemplate and Create with a Certified Coach on Site  
  
Your host at the Sanctuary is a certified Leadership & Life Purpose Coach and is ready to meet you if you desire. Providing a safe, non-judgmental environment, you can engage with Christine to help you think through and process a variety of issues including your calling, life goals, leadership, connecting or re-connecting with God or work issues while taking a brisk walk around the farm or just sitting in the gazebo looking at the ripples on the pond or the majesty of the mountains.  
  
This experience includes two nights lodging, two coaching sessions and contemplative questions so you leave with clarity or a plan to thrive in life. ($200 extra for a two night stay although many guests choose to have their second coaching session once they get back home and have a chance to do some "homework.").  
  
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE: It is important to note that the Sanctuary is a place to unwind and unplug. We hope it's an opportunity to slow down, enjoy nature, and dream big. For that reason, we do not have wifi. Guests are welcome to use their own mobile hot spot, or if an emergency or need arises, guests can contact us about using a temporary hot spot.  
  
The Sanctuary is also a working farm, so don't be alarmed if you hear the cows mooing or the sounds of a tractor or four wheeler.

Everything about Sanctuary Suite was perfect. Christine was a fabulous host and replied quickly to our questions. We like to check in, look around and then go out and do the tourist stuff. Once we checked in here though, we left briefly to visit the local grocery store to grab a few things so we could spend the evening sitting next to the fire pit. Thats where we sat all night taking in the sunset and glorious views. We only spent one evening here but will definitely be going back. It was so nice to get away from all of lifes hassels and just enjoy each others company.

The Sanctuary was just that. A beautiful and peaceful place to unwind and rest. And yet there are plenty of things to do. We enjoyed the DDay Memorial, hiking at the peaks of otter, and riding bikes in Lynchburg on the Blackwater Creek trail. Even with those fun things, our favorite time was back at sanctuary. It is attached to the house, but you definitely feel very private and that you have the place to yourself. It has everything you need and stores/the town are a short, convenient and beautiful drive. Christine and Jason were wonderful hosts, extremely kind, with helpful suggestions and simply pleasant to talk to. Watching sunsets over the peaks of otter on the gazebo and fire pit was our favorite thing! We will definitely be back!

#### Great Little Getaway

This was a quaint little getaway. It was a beautiful suite located on a 17 acre farm. You could go out back and look over a pond and sit and a gazebo and look over mountains. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to go off the grid with no wifi and just enjoy some peace and quiet or time with a partner.

#### Wedding Anniversary

We stayed the weekend to celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary and this place is truly a sanctuary! Jason and Christine are wonderful hosts. We felt welcomed and had everything we needed, including a personalized message on the blackboard. We can tell how much work, love, and care is put into the place. With the beautiful views, the stocked fire pit, the nearby ATV trails, the fresh morning coffee, the game closet, and most of all the quality time together, we had the most amazing time!

#### A Beautiful Property

The Sanctuary offered a beautiful, peaceful, and thoroughly enjoyable weekend. The space was clean and very comfortable. The hosts were responsive and very welcoming. We loved sitting by the lake and enjoying the peaceful quiet and beautiful views of the property and mountains. We will definitely be staying here again!

#### Tranquility

Lovely cottage in a panoramic location. Cottage is perfect for serene getaway in every way— comfy fyy it entire, lovely bed linens and everything squeaky clean. Hosts are welcoming but not intrusive. No doubt one will feel refreshed and restored after a visit. It’s the kind of place that says “stay longer”.

#### Relax, unplug and get away from it all!

What a beautiful place to stay! The hosts were incredible and loved that every evening they had the fire-pit ready to go with logs available for our evening night cap under the stars. Waking up in the morning to a beautiful view of the mountains from the shower was spectacular. The suite was clean, welcoming and well maintained inside and out. Looking forward to returning to this mountain oasis.

#### Great Escape

Nice location to the Blue Ridge Parkway. The view of Peaks of the Otter was beautiful. The owners are friendly and attentive to any needs you might have. The Sanctuary was well appointed and was a great respite.

#### Santuary Paradise 

perfect place to rest your soul! Our Santuary stay was a last minute decision that turned into the stay we didn’t know we needed. The property is absolutely amazing with Mountain Views and land that is enough to enjoy the whole stay ! Christine and Jason are very tentative host and put special touches to make sure our stay was peaceful ! We enjoyed picnics on the Gazebo and sit by the pond and fire pit . The rental (Santuary) was beautifully decorated and had everything needed to cook all meals . Side Note -The kitchen sink made me smile , an old fashioned kitchen sink just my grandmother had when I was young .The bed was very comfortable and the living room was perfect for reading and relaxing..I highly recommend the Sanctuary for a disconnect from the busy world and connect to the peaceful sounds and sights of this wonderful special place called The Sanctuary!!

#### A perfect getaway!

The property was just as described. The views were breathtaking. The hosts were accessible and so friendly. The location was perfect for accessing the parkway. The only thing I would change was the length of the stay…. it ended too soon!! I will definitely be looking to rebook a stay.

#### Awesome mountain views

We had a refreshing stay at this lovely farmhouse. Everything was just as listed. The view of the mountains was breathtaking, and we just wanted to sit in that gazebo all day!! So quiet and peaceful. The decorating of apt were so cozy and added to the charm. Very welcoming.

#### Peaks view!

Great farm style space for 3\. Loved the view and sitting at the Gazebo. 35 mins to Lynchburg. Closer to peaks of otter for hiking! The host was there to greet us. She even grabbed us extra chairs to offer a friend who came for a short visit before heading to town. Very lovely stay!
