We rented out the full Sanctuary for a birthday celebration. The property is stunningly beautiful and has a lot of nice little amenities, plenty of space, and the location could not possibly be better for walking downtown or hitting the mountain bike trails. There is not a full kitchen, but plenty of ways to work around that with countertop appliances and a huge upstairs dining area. Would love to stay there again!!!!

Stephanie was amazing! She met me there to go over the “house” and made sure I felt comfortable. The Sanctuary was exactly the perfect place for our mini retreat!! Everyone easily fellowshipped but also had their own rooms to escape to. We walked downtown to shop and grab coffee. Would highly recommend!! Thank you for taking a piece of Crosby and making it new again!! Beautiful!!

Many places advertise that they are handicap accessible, but then the reality doesn’t meet the actual needs of our family. We were drawn to this listing because of its ADA accessibility, and it did not disappoint. Our family found it to be one of the easiest places for all of us to be inclusively gathered. 10 out of 10.In addition, we enjoyed and loved the gathering spaces and the ability for people to go to their own rooms for introvert time and not having to share a bathroom!The aesthetics of the renovated church were super cool and we loved sharing a cup of coffee and connecting out on the front porch. Stephanie and Edgar were extremely easy to work with and welcoming. Our family will definitely be back. 30 satisfied customers!
