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. ## Property amenities ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games ### Outdoor areas - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Gravel flooring in public areas - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a hospital - On a lake ### Things to do - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 500 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89230000/89223600/89223571/672e790f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cedar’s Rest Cabin Bedford - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 79 reviews CA $237 CA $395 total includes taxes & fees Dec 7 - Dec 8 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-07&endDate=2025-12-08&selected=89223571&PinnedHotelID=89223571&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34080000/34078700/34078643/w600h799x0y1-e5e36dc3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Restored 1840's Downtown Loft Near Blue Ridge Parkway Historic Centertown Bedford - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 256 reviews CA $126 CA $239 total includes taxes & fees Dec 5 - Dec 6 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-05&endDate=2025-12-06&selected=34078643&PinnedHotelID=34078643&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120350000/120344200/120344102/3bdd584a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy and quaint!

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.

Sep 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy You know when life has just gotten busy and you need a reset? And you have a favorite place that when you turn down “that road” and “that view” comes into sight and your soul just goes ….”ahhhh yes”? Well this is one of those places. The bed is super comfortable and we enjoyed not setting an alarm and just waking up whenever. The shower had wonderful water pressure and you could literally gaze out the window at the Peaks while you enjoyed your shower. Christine and Jason are lovely hosts and while engaging, they were also respectful of our privacy. We did a hike to Sharp Top and spent a day in Lynchburg renting bikes and riding for hours on the Blackwater Creek trails (highly recommend). I can’t think of a nicer, more peaceful place to stay in the area if you are considering visiting. ##### Jennifer A. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly T.

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!

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! ##### Caron C. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teresa B.

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”. ##### Teresa B. Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Penny M.

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!! ##### Nancy M.

My boyfriend and I met up with a friend in the area and needed a place to crash overnight. Definitely nice coming to a cute little farmhouse after a long day of driving. Very cozy and well kept. If we're ever in the area we'd like to book again! ##### Trinity D.

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. ##### Kerrie M. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wyatt A.
