This is a hidden gem...totally outstanding. The staff was incredibly and genuinely pleasant. The ambience, location, finish, etc. was fantastic.

Everything about Sanctuary supported its name and created the most relaxing and restorative environment. Unfortunately we only had two nights there, and after spending our first day we realized we needed many, many more! Our pup loved it, too. We are so grateful to have found this lovely, pup-friendly place. We will be back!
