The Sanctuary 14 acres w/ private pond/trails in beautiful Brown County

Come and enjoy a getaway from the busy world to a quiet home in the woods. You can enjoy the large gathering room overlooking a beautiful pond that is surrounded by trees. Take a ride on the paddle boat and throw your fishing line in to catch catfish, bluegill, and wide mouth bass. Eleven acres of trails make for a nice nature walk. In the cold , you can enjoy your cup of coffee by the fireplace that's in the large room we call, The sanctuary. In the hot summers you will be able to go swimming in the pond. If you enjoy kayaking, we have a kayak you can take out and experience a relaxing time on the water. This is not just a vacation home but it is a vacation destination. This is a getaway for any seasons. The Brown County fall season is something everyone should experience and this the perfect property to take it all in.

Guests will enjoy staying at our place The Sanctuary. We have a beautiful house where each bedroom has its own bathroom. The gathering space is a great place to relax, look out the windows and door by the fire. Take your drinks outside to the large porch and deck. You can sit in a rocking chair or have dinner on the large table on the porch. We live close to a Dollar General. Nashville is a 10 minute drive and is full of shopping, eating and exploring.

Wonderful Retreat
Our family of 8 gathered from San Diego, Atlanta, and Cincinnati to celebrate parents 70th anniversary. The home is spacious with 4 private bedrooms and baths (even the bunk room was comfortable). Check in was easy and the home was clean, kitchen stocked with essentials and more, living and dining areas easily accommodated us. The location is convenient to tours of Columbus architecture, downtown Nashville and to both entrances of Brown County State Park as well as a rural drag strip with local color. We enjoyed the fire pit and a meandering one mile hike through the 14 acre woods. Runners will appreciate low traffic roads and rolling hills with shady tree lined sections. I'd like to return with our kids and grandkids.

Relaxing Friend Time
We r a group of 4 couples who recently stayed in the aptly named “Sanctuary “ for a 3day, 3 night yearly get-together. The property is very beautiful & relaxing with the pond & sweeping back yard providing excellent views from the 2 porches. The home was very accommodating, well stocked and clean. 4 bedrooms & 4 bathrooms. Super easy checkin and out, seating for all 8 of us whatever room or area we were in. Large kitchen for cooking. The owners were extremely responsive. This was the perfect property for us to rent!

Truly a Sanctuary
The home and property were beautiful and peaceful. The layout of the house was perfect for 6 adults. Plenty of space for everyone. Clean, comfortable, well stocked and maintained. Location is just 10 minutes to town but still tucked away. The covered porch was perfect with a great view of the lake and property. We all loved it and would definitely go back.

Very nice spot for time with the family
We enjoyed the fishing, walks in the woods, Nashville, s'mores by the fire pit, and just sitting on the beautiful porch watching birds. Plenty of room for my wife and I to host our adult children and their spouses.

The property is so beautiful and we all loved the house. There were 9 of us staying there and the house is very spacious with areas for toddler play time, card games, dining, a very nice kitchen and beautiful living room that has gorgeous views of the pond and woods. The boys had a great time fishing too. They caught blue gill, catfiish and we think a crappie. We all had a wonderful time.

Awesome Weekend Getaway
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.

Beautiful property
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!!!

Peaceful and beautiful scenery!
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!
