We had a wonderful time at The Sanctuary celebrating Christmas with family. It was spacious and beautifully-decorated. The great room was perfect for gathering everyone together to open gifts and watch a Christmas movie. Mary and Josh were were great hosts and were quick to respond to any questions that we had. We would definitely stay there again.

Nice and secluded. Had a great time with all the open space for our family to enjoy. There were some areas that could have been cleaned a little better. Snacks up under the couch, etc

Wow… if you are thinking about going to Brown Co, IN, you definitely want this place. The most clean place I’ve ever stayed. The whole setting was absolutely Perfect! Would definitely go back.

This hidden property is amazing. We had a great stay! Clean!! Fun and amazing views Highly recommend!

Property is amazing! House is best rental we’ve ever stayed in. Hosts are responsive, and house was everything the listing shows & states plus more. Will definityly

Beautiful grounds. Great for family visit. Lots of room for different ages, games, and quiet conversations.

Having an awesome time is an understatement. I cannot explain in words of how magnificent this property is. From fishing, kayaking, paddleboats, wrap around porch with lots of chairs, grilling, and a beautiful pond. The views are breathtaking. This was our first stay here, and it most certainly wont be our last. If you're in need of an awesome time, along with a weekend getaway, "The Sanctuary " is where it's at! The owner's are awesome as well. We didn’t get to meet them, but I felt like we did just through the VRBO messenger. Again thank you all so much for everything.

The house and property is beautiful. We enjoyed fishing the pond and the pedal boat. The bedding and towels were clean and nice. I did contact the owner about the cleanliness of the home. The clean team are cutting a lot of corners. The owner lives out of town and was unaware. She was apologetic and said she would take care of it for the next renters! Otherwise we had a great time!!!

Our stay at The Sanctuary was wonderful! There were seven of us and there was plenty of room. (Something to note, the bunk room beds are better suited for kids and not for adults with back problems). The sheets were soft and the beds were comfortable in the bedrooms with the big beds. There were plenty of bathrooms so no one had to wait to shower. With two sitting areas and a large dining area, there is plenty of room to visit, watch tv or play games. Lots of games are provided in case you forget to bring some. The kitchen has lots of dishes for eating and cooking and a nice grill outside. Outside is a generous front porch with rockers and a swing that make soaking up the sights and sounds of nature the best part of the day. Outside is a nice play area and at the ponds our group did lots of fishing and canoeing. There is a nice big fire pit. I would suggest bringing your own things for starting a fire. There is plenty of things for kindling but no way to cut it. There is a lighter and sticks to roast marshmallows provided. The hosts proved a wonderful basket with s’mores ingredients as well as syrup and pancake mix. We would come back to the Sanctuary 100%. This is a great place for family get togethers, small retreats, board gaming groups or girl’s weekends. You won’t be sorry!

This home was a perfect fit for 8 long time friends to be together with the large living room, spacious kitchen and a wonderful porch with plenty of seating. Very clean and well cared for. The hosts were quick to respond to any questions. Highly recommend this rental!

We had a wonderful stay at The Sanctuary. So much to do even just on the property. It was the perfect getaway to unplug and enjoy time with family!

The home and property were beautiful and exactly as listed. Plenty of space, well maintained with everything we needed for our stay. We truly felt like it was a great getaway place with plenty to inside and we totally enjoyed exploring the outside property. Owner was very accommodating with great communication. We would definitely recommend and absolutely go back for a second stay.

We had three couples and there was plenty of room. Loved the main living area and the view.

Beautiful property. Has everything you could need. Highly recommend

Stayed March 2023. Property just as advertised, super clean, and lots of much appreciated technology for a remote area (Direct TV satellite + more, great wifi). Felt recently updated/renovated/addition. Very large - could easily accommodate a large 5-7 person family or 2-3 couples, though we enjoyed the extra space just for the 2 of us and our dog! Would highly recommend and stay again.

Wonderful property that met all our needs. Great getaway highlighting beautiful Indiana countryside.

Four friends and I decided that we needed a girls weekend and this home was the perfect place for it. With a ton of bedrooms and seating options at both the table and in the living room, we were able to hang out in comfort the whole weekend. The house was immaculate and the kitchen was well stocked allowing us to cook dinner and breakfast. We decided that this would become an annual tradition and we look forward to coming back again next year.

We really enjoyed our Christmas here. There was plenty of room and very clean. The hosts communicated with us when the weather took a turn for the worse. The property is beautiful and we can’t wait to come visit in the summer !

We rented this space for our sons wedding. We have had some surprises with VRBO and The Sanctuary did not disappoint. Very very clean spacious and comfortable. Our grandkids are begging to revisit in the summer. Location is also awesome just a few miles north of Nashville IN. Josh & Mary thank you for maintaining such a beautiful home for others to enjoy. God Bless You and Merry Christmas 🎄🥰 The Clark Family ( and Yes we are Serious Clark😁)

Everything

We had a great time. The fire pit was one of the highlights for the men. Wi-Fi, televisions, and electronics all work perfect. We will be going back. In fact, this was our second stay.

Five of us stayed here to celebrate our friend's 50th birthday. It was the perfect place to rest, relax and have a little fun! Everything was just perfect! We hope to return in the future.

We love The Sanctuary! Beautiful home in a beautiful setting! A place to stay for all seasons! It snowed and with all the large windows it was sparkly, white and scenic!

Girls weekend 2023 was amazing from start to finish! The house was so roomy and comfy!

Fantastic and relaxing!!!!

Place is wonderful..This is our second year to rent this beautiful home. It will not be our last one.

This property is absolutely amazing. We had 7 people in our party and we had more than enough space. This was the most stocked VRBO I have stayed in. We all fished, relaxed, played games and enjoyed a fire around the fire pit. I would recommend this house to friends and family. Book this home you will not be disappointed.

It is a great, quiet setting with a pond and on occasion, deer sighting.s. The house is very clean with plenty of space and was well stocked with everything we needed. The owners tips on places to eat and things to do was very helpful

Dreamy, serene, and super pleasant for my entire family. This was just the getaway we all needed. And next time I’ll book an event longer stay because we loved it that much! Thank you for a wonderful place to call home this past week, we will be back.

Could use a hand rail to dock. And extra batteries for all controllers. We ask for a replacement bulb and smoke detector battery and they came over right away. Consider calling someone about pond management, blue hills are a bit stunted. All in all a great stay.

The Sanctuary is a wonderful place. It was exactly what we needed to enjoy our sibling reunion "back home again in Indiana". The home was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. We enjoy fishing, floating/paddle boarding but most of all sitting on the porch in the rockers and watching the incredible fireflies every night. The only issue we had was the temperature in the home must have been on a schedule and would get cold at night. We tried to set it back above the recommended setting but it would always drop back down. We absolutely loved the place and would highly recommend it.

We ended up being a party of 6 instead of 9, so there was more than enough room. The grounds were beautiful and drive from Nashville was no problem. Lots of gathering space. Would definitely stay there again.
