Great Location for Exploring

The Sanctuary Den is located just minutes from historic downtown Sanford, known for its vibrant local scene.

Nearby attractions include:

• Sanford Riverwalk along Lake Monroe
• Sanford International Airport
• Local breweries and restaurants
• Local parks, shops, and cafés
• Central Florida attractions within easy driving distance

You’ll enjoy the charm of Sanford while still being within reach of the greater Orlando area.



Privacy & Host

The Sanctuary Den is a separate guesthouse located behind the main home where I live.

The backyard sits between the two buildings, creating a natural buffer that allows guests to enjoy a comfortable and independent stay.

I’m nearby if needed and always happy to help, but my goal is to give guests plenty of space to relax and enjoy their visit.

Note: There are external cameras on property, the cameras are used to provide additional security for everyone coming and going at The Sanctuary Den at Sanford.

    This was a gem, cute little cottage, perfect for our weekend stay in April 2026. Very nicely decorated, modern had all we needed. Would definitely recommend it!

    Not only is this the cleanest place I’ve stayed, it is well equipped with pretty much all your needs for your stay. It is as aesthetically pleasing as pictured. Sherise, is welcoming and attentive, while providing all the space/privacy you need. She offers upgrade packages! You want groceries done? Give her the list and when you arrive everything will be waiting for you. Have something in mind that’s not listed? Ask her, I’m sure she’ll do her best to make it happen. The outdoor space is pleasing with multiple seating options and lawn games. Oh and you’re a quick drive to the river.
