*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.

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.

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.

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!

Serenity says it all
If you are looking to quiet your mind, body, & soul, this is the right place. I came for a four day stay in desperate need of mental and physical rest. I found rest, healing, peace, and a sense of safety within my life because I had let the chaos of life take control for so long until I was a shell of myself. I would recommend a retreat here regularly as self-care for oneself, or as a couple, to nurture what’s important in life. Accommodations are perfect, cleanliness impeccable, furniture feels like it hugs you (the kind you sink into). Bedding is luxurious. Only clock is in kitchen which is great - I ended up removing my watch and put away my phone - really unplugged! Grounds, gardens and views are gorgeous. You’ll get out of this experience what you’re willing to relax into and surrender. Definitely will return.

Gorgeous View
We thoroughly enjoyed the gorgeous view of the mountains from this cozy suite. The home is decorated beautifully with attention to detail. We appreciated the personalized welcome sign, fresh roses, chocolate and coffee. The peace and quiet at night assures a restful sleep and you feel the tranquility the moment you step on the property. The owner is most welcoming with information and truly has the gift of hospitality. This is an idyllic getaway, perfect for a retreat.

Sanctuary
“Sanctuary”. The perfect name for this little haven of rest and peace. This cozy farmhouse cottage is nestled in the midst of gentle Virginia mountains on rolling acres of beautiful-ness. So many favorite moments… the early mornings sitting outside to watch as birds and deer began to stir with the sun rising, hiking a trail at Peaks of Otter on the Blue Ridge Parkway, building a campfire out behind the house near the lake, and picking apples in a nearby orchard. A lovely lovely space overall!

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!
