*OPTIONAL ADD-ONS
1. Each day, the hosts can provide you with an inspiring note and question that sets the table for you to maximize your thinking and expand your mind to possibilities. ($10 extra a day for notes and questions)
2. Contemplate and Create with a Certified Coach on Site
Your host at the Sanctuary is a certified Leadership & Life Purpose Coach and is ready to meet you if you desire. Providing a safe, non-judgmental environment, you can engage with Christine to help you think through and process a variety of issues including your calling, life goals, leadership, connecting or re-connecting with God or work issues while taking a brisk walk around the farm or just sitting in the gazebo looking at the ripples on the pond or the majesty of the mountains.
This experience includes two nights lodging, two coaching sessions and contemplative questions so you leave with clarity or a plan to thrive in life. ($200 extra for a two night stay although many guests choose to have their second coaching session once they get back home and have a chance to do some "homework.").
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE: It is important to note that the Sanctuary is a place to unwind and unplug. We hope it's an opportunity to slow down, enjoy nature, and dream big. For that reason, we do not have wifi. Guests are welcome to use their own mobile hot spot, or if an emergency or need arises, guests can contact us about using a temporary hot spot.
The Sanctuary is also a working farm, so don't be alarmed if you hear the cows mooing or the sounds of a tractor or four wheeler.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Christine Kennedy

My husband and I lead busy work lives and after a season of burn out for both of us, we embarked on the journey of learning self care and how to de-plug. This led to the purchase of this 1860's farmhouse in 2013 and we began the renovation process with the goal of creating a working farm and homestead but also a space to truly experience peace, rest and to host guests so that they can experience it as well.
Life is still busy but we've learned how to "create Sanctuary" in our own lives and love providing a space for others to feel "sanctuary" as well.

Why they chose this property
Sanctuary is ideal for you if you want to get away from the "noise of life" and experience tranquility and all that farm life has to offer yet be close enough to town to get provisions and explore all that charming small town life has to offer. Additionally, being just a short 10 minute drive from the Blue Ridge Parkway this property is close to some spectular hikes.
