Sanctuary was awesome

a group of old friends stayed for a weekend to play board games and reconnect. The sanctuary was the perfect match for space and sleeping arrangements. Thanks!

Family get together

We loved our stay at the Sanctuary!! The location is great, close to town, the lake, and 30 minutes to the ski hill. The kitchen is well stocked and clean. The bedrooms were plentiful and comfy! Bathrooms were clean and well stocked with towels. There were tons of games and space to enjoy them in the large gathering area. Communication with the property manager was excellent. This was a perfect spot for a big family get together!

Halteman Christmas

Ww loved how much room there was for the 40 of us. There were tables to play games, put puzzles together, quiet places to nap or several seating areas to have great conversation.

Great spot for family reunion

This place is amazing. It has lots of space for multiple families. It is very clean. The kitchen has everything you will need to prepare meals for lots of people. The downstairs area is perfect for kids to gather while the adults can gather upstairs. We had a great weekend. We will be back. There are lots of steps to multiple levels so in case there are mobility issues this won't work for you.

Perfect place for a reunion or retreat

This was a great location for our friend group to do a reunion and work remotely for a couple weeks. The lake is a 15 minute walk or 3 minute drive, there are a couple coffee shops within walking distance, and the house itself is massive. It does still look like a church and has a lot of crosses and angels, so just be prepared for that. But it was very well set up for a large group -- 2 large fridges and a freezer in the kitchen, every kitchen item you could need. Lots of dining space and comfortable spaces to hang out and watch movies. This was truly a perfect space to relax and have fun. It was clean and comfortable. Only challenge was the internet -- it was very fast but seemed to have a firewall or something that resulted in it being choppy and kicking us off regularly. We mainly handled this by pairing with our phones, so might recommend bringing a MiFi if you're working remotely. The Village Coffee Shop nearby also had very reliable internet, so we went there fairly often as well.
