Numerous Hiking Trails:
Quick Hikes within a mile of the home, we have Shoemaker Nature Preserve. Five miles from our home is Chalet Nivale, Shaded hollows, vertical cliffs, rare plants, carved out by two of Ohio's cleanest streams. Both are easier excellent hikes. Fort Hill is a hike through a mature forest to the top of the ridge where a 2000 yr old mystery of the Hopewell culture awaits. Hike more intense Buzzard's Roost, or check out the Arc of Appalachia's site for more challenging hikes. And for the easiest of all, and maybe the best...Enter the Forest at the bottom of our drive. It is flat for 1 mile, and you rarely see anyone, just deer and turkey.

The Sanctuary is our family go to place when we want to reconnect and relax. This was our 4th visit and it has always been clean, comfortable and has a well stocked kitchen for your cooking needs.
everything was as stated in the ad. beautiful, serene, well appointed property. just what us girls wanted. well stocked kitchen. everything that you would need. plenty of games to play. location was awesome. highly recommend to anyone. I plan on booking again next year. hosts are very responsive to anything you need.
We really enjoyed ourselves. Turn off the electronics and appreciate mother nature! Comfy beds and anything else you might need for a relaxing getaway.
Set on the edge of a State Forest, it is secluded and comfortable. The owners were great with communication and even left me a Birthday Card for my 70th. Nice touch. Thank you si much
This was just the right size to accommodate 7 adults.
The house could use an update on the decor but it was clean, roomy, and a nice stay for the couple of days we needed.
Property as described. Nice place to stay with plenty of room to spread out. Lots and lots of dishes and pans. Plenty of plates and plenty of spices to cook with!
Very Nice home with EVERYTHING you need. Remote area makes for a very quiet and relaxing stay. It was clean and very spacious. The front porch is a highlight of this place. Communication with host(s) is great and they are very responsive. We had a very enjoyable stay!
We had a fabulous time staying at the Sanctuary! The house was perfect for adult siblings catching up with each other. Plenty of private space and plenty of space to spend time together! The house was clean, the beds were comfortable and was well stocked for cooking meals. It was very easy to communicate with the owners.
This was our 3rd visit and we are already talking about our next trip.
We appreciated our stay at The Sanctuary. The host was very on point with response times and providing "key" information. Easy check-in process. Host was very helpful with accommodation needs, providing good space for our family. Very nice kitchen, well-equipped and functional. Very clean with comfortable beds. Free Wi-Fi available, limitations on use, definitely a place to "unplug". Family certainly enjoyed their stay at The Sanctuary.
This is a beautiful home and property. We enjoyed all of the options - two fire pits, and two porches. Everyone in our group was able to find a place to be comfortable. The house was clean and the owners where very responsive. The kitchen was very well stocked with larger pans, and enough plates and glasses for everyone. We enjoyed hiking in the state parks in this area and even went to the Pumpkin Festival in Circleville. It was a very relaxing, and quiet place to reconnect.
We traveled as a group of 10 from ages 4- 60+. Property was clean and lovely. Everything was as listed. Owner was wonderful! Extremely prompt response time for our questions. Location was perfect. Lots of space outdoors for kiddos to explore. It rained the entire weekend, but we were quite comfortable inside and on the cozy porches .Would definitely recommend this property to anyone, especially families!
The scenery was very nice, having a forest just up the road made it so easy to go on hikes. The overall stay was perfect to be in the middle of nowhere and reconnect with nature. The only complaint I have is there is a limited use of Wi-Fi that isn’t said in the listing. Other then that it was perfect.
Beautiful, peaceful and private. Overall we had a great time. We were a bit disappointed by the Wi-Fi rules as they were not specified in the listing and the extensive DVD collection turned out to be less than 20 and most were from the 60’s and 70’s. Other than that we had a great time. Lots of fires and s’mores and reconnecting with family.
This was a perfect getaway for myself, my sister, and grandchildren. There is plenty to do and see on the property outside in this perfect slice of nature. The home is set in a beautiful wooded setting with a nearby creek. Very peaceful. For rainy days, the house is very comfortable with plenty of space to gather together or have your own privacy. The kitchen is very well stocked and has all needed appliances. The owners communicated well and were a pleasure to talk to. You cannot go wrong with this rental if looking for peace and quiet and relaxation!
Lots of supplies. Nice to have everything needed in kitchen and bathrooms. No need to bring/purchase the normal paper products and toiletries.
Kitchen very well stocked with everything needed to prepare meals as well us plenty of dished for eating and serving. All kinds of spices were also available.
However, do not park close to house!!
My car was damaged by a falling branch and now the door will not open. It was not windy or stormy, just woke up and there was a branch on the car. Make sure you park vehicle away from any trees!
We loved the full nature surrounding us & being able to relax in nature. There was plenty of room for everyone & we enjoyed the views of the surrounding areas. You don’t even have to leave the porch for a beautiful scene!
