ABOUT THIS SPACE
Soulshine Sanctuary sits on a peaceful hillside in the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains, with the sounds of nature as your soundtrack. The property sleeps 9 guests (Max 6 Adults) across thoughtfully arranged sleeping spaces: a master bedroom with a king bed and sleeper sofa, a second bedroom with a king bed, a third bedroom with a queen bed, and a basement bunk area with a queen/twin bed and twin trundle. Every mattress is premium comfort, and all bedrooms feature blackout curtains so you can sleep as late as you want.
The living space flows across two levels. Upstairs, you'll find a bright, spacious main living room with plenty of seating and an electric fireplace—the heart of the home. The kitchen is fully equipped with new appliances, dishwasher, and everything you need to cook a full meal. A dining area connects the kitchen and living room, perfect for family dinners or card games.
Downstairs in the finished basement is where the magic happens: a dedicated game room features Golden Tee golf, Mortal Kombat arcade, Ms. Pac-Man, and board games—endless indoor entertainment. A second seating area with a large TV and generously-sized sectional provides the perfect spot for movie nights or quiet time. Laundry facilities (washer/dryer in-unit) mean you travel light.
Outside, the real showstopper is the two-level deck. The lower level hosts a steaming hot tub, perfect for soaking under the stars or relaxing in the Adirondack chairs. The upper level features a propane grill (recently upgraded to a 4-burner Nexgrill), a picnic table, additional seating, and an outdoor hammock for chilling—the ideal setup for morning coffee or evening wine. A nearby fire pit is where the best conversations happen, complete with marshmallows, a crackling fire, and mountain views. The river sounds and abundance of wildlife (deer, birds, and occasional foxes) complete the scene.
