the home was exactly as described. would recommend and come back anytime. you can choose to unplug or use WIFI which worked well. the bathroom was very nice with the heated floors and clawfoot tub. the bedroom was nice with comfy sheets and a very firm mattress (if this is your taste). we also enjoyed the walking trail which was well marked. the home is very private and peaceful to sit out on the deck. my only issue and this is my preference is there are no blinds or curtains in the bedroom. the owner assured me they never had issues however its just something i prefer when i am sleeping and feel more comfortable. we brought items from home to make it work it would have been nice to have the option :)

The best getaway in central PA!!!!
My wife and I spent a few nights at the sanctuary after our wedding, everything was perfect. The property is second to none. It is modern while also being very peaceful. The owners keep the sanctuary at the highest state of cleanliness. Additionally, the owners are amazing! They were great with communication, helpful, and even mailed us an item we had forgotten. Overall an absolute 10 out of 10!!!

Simple perfection
Wish we could have stayed longer! Simple, modern and very well thought out cabin in the forest. We loved waking up to the forest view, seeing and hearing all the wildlife, grilling dinner on the deck while listening to all the classic record albums, and the song of the whippoorwill who visited us every evening. Justine and Mike thought of everything and the luxurious little details made our stay that much better.

Ultimate Unplugged Luxury
Sandstone Sanctuary is THE place for both relaxation and rejuvenation! My partner and I were guests there for four days and three nights, and our stay did not disappoint. Our hosts, Justine and Mike, were incredibly responsive, personable, and kind, so we felt immediately "at home" before even arriving at the property! What an experience to go from the busyness of work and home life to feeling the warm sun on our faces while drinking in amazing views. The sunsets are not to be missed, as they painted the sky with a rainbow of shades just above the tips of the trees. Every kitchen vessel and tool we needed was right at our fingertips, so preparing meals was a breeze. The plush king-sized bed was so comfy and warm that we went back to bed most days after our morning hikes! And, we didn't miss the opportunity to soak in that beautiful, sparkling clawfoot tub (twice actually!). The design, decor, and furnishings enhanced the peaceful of the space, without being a distraction. And, the propane fireplace and bluetooth speaker were a definite plus! When we weren't listening for rustling leaves or chirping birds, we were grooving and gliding to our favorite tunes. Sandstone Sanctuary is a must-stay if you want to unplug in luxury. :)

Sublime peaceful getaway
From start to finish we enjoyed this vacation stay. 3 nights of quiet and peace in this zen sanctuary. Well named property. So much natural beauty all around us but also a highly curated comfortable cabin. Sheets/towels/claw-foot tub etc. all just right!! Stay here. Get some peace.

Amazing retreat experience
I came to the area to drop my child off for a week of camp in the local community. Found the Sandstone Sanctuary and can't say enough good things about this place. After a week of being fully emerged in nature, I feel transformed. The cabin is impeccably clean, wonderfully designed, and appointed like a 5-star accommodation. The property was serene and breathtaking. I spent most of my time on the deck overlooking the pond. The trails were fantastic, and the state forest abutted the land, so there was plenty of wildlife. Would highly recommend this place and can't wait to return next year.

Secluded getaway
Beautiful property, very secluded and private. Great place to reset from the hustle and bustle. Perfectly designed and furnished to encourage you to unplug (but Wi-Fi is available). It is off the beaten path but close enough to State College if visiting Penn State.

A much needed retreat from the straw of work life and material and worldly "stuff". Did yoga, meditate, slept, read, drank wine on the deck and soaked in the amazing bath tub. Highly recommend!!!!

Better than expected !
This property is absolutely amazing, beautiful and clean. There is very thoughtful attention to details and noticeably the design of the home was very thought out. Loved the seclusion of the land and history surrounding it. There is a vey cute mom and pop country store not too far. Loved their sandwiches and baked goods! Owners very easy to communicate with and reachable. Would recommend and stay again. Thank you.
