*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.

The Sanctuary offered a beautiful, peaceful, and thoroughly enjoyable weekend. The space was clean and very comfortable. The hosts were responsive and very welcoming.

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.

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.

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!

This was a return visit and we're so glad we came back! The peace, tranquility and beauty of Sanctuary lives on. Christine and Jason are wonderful hosts. We did a little hiking and walking in the Blue Ridge and got to know the town of Bedford which was just ok. The D-Day Memorial was excellent. Make sure you get connected to one of their free tours.
