Thoughtful, Clean, & Secluded
Sam's place was the perfect setting for our 3 families coming together for a reunion in Oscoda. Everyone had their own space but it was still very communal. The kitchen was well equipped, the rooms were cozy and everything had it's place. Plenty of room for our 1.5 year old to roam and for us to gather in the evenings in the largest unit. Sam greeted us upon arrival and gave us some great history of the property and the wildlife surrounding us. Everyone in our group was so pleased with Sanctuary Lodge.

Our vacation at the lodge was once again exceptional. The accommodations are clean and spacious, while the property is magical. We all had a great time exploring and seeing wildlife such as swans, red-winged black birds, robins, butterflies, deer, raccoons, turkeys, and so much more. We can't wait to return!

Family vacation home
Perfect home for 3 families. Large rooms, I enjoyed the separate kitchens. Comfortable bedding. I appreciated the updated appliances. The younger ones enjoyed the wildlife. If I'm in need of a home in the area I would return .

Awesome stay
This property is nice and secluded with lotsa wildlife. I can see why it is aptly named The Sanctuary. The owners couldn't have been any nicer and the property couldn't have been any cleaner.
