What Guests Are Saying
"Absolutely magical. We spent 2 nights in the dome and didn't want to leave. The sunlight through the panels every morning was extraordinary. Sanctuary is like nothing else in Ohio."
"We came for a bachelorette weekend and the Campbell House blew us all away. The outdoor space, the fire pit, the community vibe at Basecamp — perfect from start to finish. Already planning our spring trip."
"The Airstream was cozier than I expected and the setting couldn't be beaten. Woke up to mist across the meadow, sat by the fire at night. This is what a real Ohio escape looks like."
"We did the haunted trail and the pumpkin patch on the same trip. The kids LOVED it. And the dome — beautifully designed and so comfortable. We'll 100% return in spring."
"Dark sky stargazing is the real deal here. We had a ranger guide with a telescope — on a clear October night it was extraordinary. The most memorable moment of our entire fall trip."
"We've stayed at dozens of boutique properties and Sanctuary is in a different category. Everything felt curated, not accidental. The team clearly cares deeply about the experience they create."
