Sanctuary

Interesting property close to Tecumseh outdoor theater, Great Seal state park, and Hopewell Earth Works. The downside was the two hours of mopping up about ten gallons of water flooding the downstairs hallway and bedroom with the bunk beds. Once the maintenance man arrived an hour later and cleaned the outside drain the water issue stopped. The bed in the upstairs gathering area was a bit short of privacy.

Fun stay!

We had a group of seven who stayed at this location. It was very clean, the property was super cool with the cemetery, the hot tub is super well maintained, and it was very peaceful and quiet. There was a lot of space for us to spread out--that is always the hardest part, finding enough seating for everyone in the living room and kitchen, but we had zero issues here. Water pressure in bathrooms was great, there was a firepit (that we didn't end up using due to rain), and the utilities are all like new. I would definitely recommend the Sanctuary! There was no internet connection so we weren't able to use the TV, but we didn't care about that and were warned ahead of time by the hosts. Who were, by the way, very nice and responded quickly to any and all of my questions! It seems like they have several properties they rent out, and I would heavily consider visiting other ones as well if this is how they keep up on all of their locations!

An interesting and wonderful stay!

Celebrating our best friends wedding and found this interesting place! It’s beautiful, really! Modernized church with all of the comforts of home, plus really cool architecture and style to look at. We had all the amenities we needed and our host made it easy for us to access everything. The location was quiet and peaceful, the cemetery surrounding us was really fascinating and the scenery was gorgeous. Make sure you keep the noises down after 10pm though! We were a little too loud and disrupted the neighbors. Our apologies for that! Absolutely recommend staying here though! Is beautiful.

Unique Stay

Our softball team was playing close by in Chillicothe and The Sanctuary was the perfect fit for a few of the team families to stay. We loved the large living area of the beautifully remodeled church. They were enough seats for everyone PLUS some! Thank you for a great stay!

Great place to stay.

This was such a fun place to stay. Great location in the country and yet close to everything. The giant main living area, hot tub and deck were perfect. It lived up to our expectations. Only negatives we ran into were some of the dishes were dirty and needed rewashed. Also we were short on bath towels but just used our own towels we brought for the hot tub. Those issues were minor and we would recommend this location to any one looking for a family get away.

Unique and enjoyable three day stay

We had a great three night stay at the Sanctuary. The beds were terrific and the place was very clean. The weather turned cold and the house was toasty warm! Plenty of towels and kitchen well equiped for cooking simple dinner. Wonderful alternative. We really enjoyed the large great room to spend the evenings together.

Quirky, Clean and Amazing

We love experiences and this was just what the doctor ordered! We originally had hoped for an earlier weekends in October, but waited just a hair too long. When we realized the next available weekend was Halloween, we knew it was meant to be! Everything was very clean, well organized, well stocked and COMFY! There are well placed TVs all over which was great for our multi generational family. The kids LOVED the open floor plan upstairs and all the guest rooms were private and had comfy beds. This is an amazing find! We had so much fun walking the on-site graveyard and teaching our kiddos about respecting sacred areas. We watched a ton of football on the big comfy couches, enjoyed family meals and are already planning on when can rent this space again! It was close to the Great Seal State Park- and we did some hiking there- but we mostly did nothing but enjoy each other’s company. It was wonderful.
