Inside you will find jewel-toned walls, stained glass windows, a curated art collection, and a library that invites you to slow down and stay awhile. Every room tells a story, making this home the perfect setting for gathering, celebrating, and creating unforgettable memories.

From jewel-toned walls to stained glass light and shelves of books, the home feels like stepping into a story. Every room offers a new corner to gather, relax, and capture the moment.

The vibrant interiors and artistic details also make the home a perfect setting for photos and memorable weekends with friends.

Perfect for Gatherings

With vibrant interiors, cozy gathering spaces, and endless conversation starters throughout the home, it is a place designed for connection.

Where is The Sanctuary located?

The Sanctuary is perfectly located for exploring southeastern Connecticut.

• 9 minutes to Mohegan Sun
• 16 minutes to Foxwoods Resort and Casino
• 27 minutes to Downtown Mystic

Whether you are visiting the casinos, exploring coastal towns, or planning a weekend getaway, the home offers a convenient and relaxing home base.

Other Things to Note

The Sanctuary is a historic home built in 1870, filled with more than 150 years of character. With that charm comes a few quirks. Floors may creak and doors may feel delightfully vintage.

We have blended that old-world atmosphere with modern comforts including high-speed WiFi, smart TVs, air conditioning, and laundry access so you can enjoy the best of both worlds.

The home is located in a quiet residential neighborhood, so we kindly ask guests to respect our neighbors by keeping noise levels low in the evening and avoiding large parties or events.

This property was ideal for our getaway. We were celebrating my grandson' 21st Halloween birthday . We had a blast. Thank you. The cat was an extra added surprise and he seemed to love all the attention he got. We will be back.

It felt like we stayed at a friends mansion. As a world traveler, I must say, this is one of the best places weve ever stayed at. Host provides everything needed, and place was spotless when we arrived. Cant wait to return!

The house is absolutely stunning & I love the color-drenched rooms. The town of Norwich itself was less than impressive, but we were staying just to visit Mystic nearby. I would definitely stay here again.
