The Sanctuary House
Sandstone Sanctuary is all about the simple luxury of nature.
The Sanctuary house was designed with one goal - to create a space centered on the peaceful beauty of the natural world.
Located in the heart of Central Pennsylvania, the Sanctuary house is a hand-crafted timber framed dwelling defined by its spacious, luxurious simplicity.
A one bedroom luxury minimalist dwelling with an elevated and expansive feel.
Every part of this extraordinary home was designed to help you absorb the inspiration, spaciousness and energy of the outdoors.
Every detail of the Sanctuary House - from the vaulted great room, indulgent bathroom, perfectly equipped full kitchen, meditation loft, the endless deck merging seamlessly with the surrounding landscape and the 180 degree views views of the Sanctuary pond, forest and meadows from every room - will help you unwind, recharge and relax into nature.
The house is fully equipped with the best of everything you need for a comfortable stay - and hopefully nothing more.
