Life at The Sanctuary

Welcome to The Sanctuary. A 1920's duplex with classic details and modern appeal. The home of an artist and an Airbnb. Originally built for the executives of the old paper mill, it has old-world elegance but is jam-packed with today's comforts like a newly renovated eat-in kitchen, updated bathroom with a jacuzzi soaking bathtub, front end loading washer/dryer, a home gym, a cozy front porch, and a backyard fire pit. You'll feel right at home. The house has everything you could need to feel at home. Pillow too flat? I have others to choose from. Blanket too heavy? I have lighter ones. Want to bake a pie? Go right ahead. Want to have a cozy fire in the fire pit? Lets do it! I'll likely be here to greet you and give you a walk-through of everything, from washer/dryer directions to where extra blankets are, and even how to turn on the shower. You'll feel like you've lived here for years. Parking is super easy. There are two private spots and two street parking spots. No circling around the block. After your welcome tour you're free to interact with me as much or little as you'd like. I'm a phone call away with restaurant recommendations or tips about the house. This area has charm and history to spare. If you like boutiques, award winning restaurants, hiking, biking, antiquing, art galleries, farmers markets, tubing, nature, scenic views, and more, you've found it all. The easiest way to enjoy the area is by car, but people love to bicycle around here too. Bikes can be rented in Frenchtown. We keep a very clean home. A housekeeper comes every other week but we are meticulous about putting things away and cleaning up after ourselves in between. There are two bedrooms for Airbnb guests so do expect to say hello to other people visiting, like yourself. The Sanctuary has one very social mascot named Genesis, an indoor-only female feline, but really, she must be part dog. She will greet you at the door. We are also a shoe-free house, so bring a pair of house slippers if you'd like or an extra pair of cozy socks.
