  • "Absolutely amazing property. Our 29 person group had a fantastic time staying at the Sanctuary and would absolutely come back in the future. There are many rooms with nice, comfortable beds. Lots of beautiful outdoor space for yard games and hanging out. The lake is stunning and totally exceeded our expectations. Both the guest house and the main house are a vibe and create a truly special atmosphere. The hosts are very responsive and accommodating and were able to answer any of our questions about the space, about configuring room arrangements, catering and food for the group, etc. -- all of which went extremely smoothly thanks to their help. If you're thinking about booking the property, you should go for it before someone else takes the weekend that you're interested in!"

  • "Lauren and Russell's house is an absolute magical oasis. We were a large group of friends and families looking for a new years retreat, and found everything we needed in this house. This house is perfect for large groups looking to settle in. We rented all 3 structures, and had ample space to spread out and find quiet spaces amongst the crowd, plus several large gathering spaces in the main house and guest house that worked perfectly for our group. They have created a beautiful sanctuary of good vibes and cozy spaces. I've rented many large houses over the years, and this is hands down the crowd favorite. We absolutely intend to return and highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for a large capacity woodland retreat. Lauren was also incredibly responsive and easy to coordinate during check-in/check-out and ahead of time. Thank you Russell and Lauren!!!"

  • "Lauren & Russell’s home is beautiful and comfortable. It was perfect for a weekend retreat we hosted for 14 guests. What was perfect about it? The common spaces, the kitchen, the beautiful long dining table, the porches, the den, the hot tub (!), the views, the land, the Wi-Fi, the generous amount of fuzzy throw blankets & the plentiful candles…I could go on and on. As hosts they were extremely kind, helpful and responsive. The surrounding area and town are wonderful too."
