I have been staying here for a few days each of the last 4 years. When I pull into the sanctuary all the cares of the day just fall away. The apartment is a perfect place to rest, and the sanctuary is the perfect place to find peace. Each visit reveals something new and beautiful. And as always, listening to Richard unfold his vision of what is yet to come in the sanctuary is a joy. One of the thin places between heaven and earth.![]()

The house is cozy and comfortable, with interesting furnishings. The location (Three Sisters Sanctuary) is charming. It felt special to stay here.But: * There were no check-in instructions in advance. I texted Richard on our arrival day to ask if we could come around 8 pm or if earlier was better. No answer. We came at 8 pm and tried to call him. No answer. We looked around the sanctuary for 10 minutes in the dark and finally stumbled on the AirBnB entrance. It was unlocked and everything after that was fine. But we never heard from Richard: he didn’t make any attempt in the next two days to make contact and apologize for missing our texts. * The Wifi is weak and keeps dropping in and out; you have to reconnect over and over. Roku was ok, but Zoom was terrible. * The bed on the second floor is right next to the heating vent. Hard to sleep with hot air blowing at you!For all the place’s beauty and charm, I probably wouldn’t stay here again, at least not in the cold season.![]()

Richard's place was perfect for our needs. Check-in was easy, the place was very clean and Richard was able to keep some of our food in his refrigerator for us! The kitchen was well equipped and Richard provided some additional items as we requested which was super helpful.![]()
