The best getaway in central PA!!!!

My wife and I spent a few nights at the sanctuary after our wedding, everything was perfect. The property is second to none. It is modern while also being very peaceful. The owners keep the sanctuary at the highest state of cleanliness. Additionally, the owners are amazing! They were great with communication, helpful, and even mailed us an item we had forgotten. Overall an absolute 10 out of 10!!!

Ultimate Unplugged Luxury

Sandstone Sanctuary is THE place for both relaxation and rejuvenation! My partner and I were guests there for four days and three nights, and our stay did not disappoint. Our hosts, Justine and Mike, were incredibly responsive, personable, and kind, so we felt immediately "at home" before even arriving at the property!

What an experience to go from the busyness of work and home life to feeling the warm sun on our faces while drinking in amazing views. The sunsets are not to be missed, as they painted the sky with a rainbow of shades just above the tips of the trees.

Every kitchen vessel and tool we needed was right at our fingertips, so preparing meals was a breeze. The plush king-sized bed was so comfy and warm that we went back to bed most days after our morning hikes! And, we didn't miss the opportunity to soak in that beautiful, sparkling clawfoot tub (twice actually!).

The design, decor, and furnishings enhanced the peaceful of the space, without being a distraction. And, the propane fireplace and bluetooth speaker were a definite plus! When we weren't listening for rustling leaves or chirping birds, we were grooving and gliding to our favorite tunes. Sandstone Sanctuary is a must-stay if you want to unplug in luxury. :)

Simple perfection

Wish we could have stayed longer! Simple, modern and very well thought out cabin in the forest. We loved waking up to the forest view, seeing and hearing all the wildlife, grilling dinner on the deck while listening to all the classic record albums, and the song of the whippoorwill who visited us every evening. Justine and Mike thought of everything and the luxurious little details made our stay that much better.

“I came to the area to drop my child off for a week of camp in the local community. Found the Sandstone Sanctuary and can't say enough good things about this place.

After a week of being fully emerged in nature, I feel transformed. The cabin is impeccably clean, wonderfully designed, and appointed like a 5-star accommodation.

The property was serene and breathtaking. I spent most of my time on the deck overlooking the pond. The trails were fantastic, and the state forest abutted the land, so there was plenty of wildlife. Would highly recommend this place and can't wait to return next year.”

“A much needed retreat from the strain of work life and material and worldly "stuff". Did yoga, meditate, slept, read, drank wine on the deck and soaked in the amazing bath tub. Highly recommend!!!!”

“Our stay was perfect. We enjoyed unplugging and taking in the peaceful surroundings. We loved our stay so much that we booked another weekend before we even left!”

“This property is absolutely amazing, beautiful and clean. There is very thoughtful attention to details and noticeably the design of the home was very thought out. Loved the seclusion of the land and history surrounding it. There is a vey cute mom and pop country store not too far. Loved their sandwiches and baked goods! Owners very easy to communicate with and reachable. Would recommend and stay again. Thank you.”

“One month later, I can still feel the positive impact of my 4 day stay. I sought a rental that would fully immerse me into nature and this property exceeded its delivery! The house design is the absolute perfect balance between luxury & cozy, which was the top criteria in my search. My guest and I were already excited to chef it up in the kitchen just from its simple charm, but we were floored when we found Calphalon cookware waiting for us to enjoy.

With all the good-cooking, slow hikes, and stargazing in rural PA, this retreat helped me to exhale a busy year and reflect on life as a postgraduate. If you are seeking to take a break from modern life, love yourself and unwind here.”

“Our stay at the Sanctuary was nothing less than amazing. Perfect housing accommodations, modern amenities with the most serene privacy, just can't be any better.”

“We desperately needed a break and a chance to get away, especially during these times. We enjoyed waking up each morning and viewing the still, calm, pond. We were lucky to have some friends visit, deer, turkeys, crickets and birds. Soaking in the deep clawfoot was a unique form of therapy.”

“The beauty, peacefulness and serenity of the Sanctuary is simply magical. We absolutely loved our stay in this special place.”

“A true ‘Sanctuary’ we never experienced a more relaxing get away. We will be back.”

“This cabin and the surrounding land is nothing short of magical. So great to unplug and relax.”

“We had a weekend of not accomplishing much except to witness the changing of the seasons first hand, first from the spacious deck, then, when the storm rolled in from inside the cabin, where the huge windows afforded us a spectacular view.

“I enjoyed every minute of this getaway, it is rare to be so close to nature in extreme comfort.”

“Being close to nature and staying in an amazing cabin, it felt like a sanctuary. It was a really comfortable place to be, and the amenities were awesome. It’s definitely the place to de-stress, unwind and have fun. I absolutely loved the experience.”

“Just so peaceful, from the minute you drive up - you feel secluded, you can hear the quiet. Extremely comfortable home, bed and love the heated floors in the bathroom and the huge windows looking out at the pond - you feel part of the surroundings.”

“I loved my time there and wished we could have stayed longer. It was a retreat from the rest of the world and has everything you need so you don’t have to leave.”

“Most relaxing and peaceful couple of days we have experienced in a very long time.”
