About this property

Log Home in a Retreat Setting

This 3 bedroom hand-built log home is the perfect place to stay for those seeking a family get-a-way in a beautiful setting or for small groups of friends. The setting is magical and tranquil. The back porch is a comfortable place to relax and watch the hummingbirds feed.

It is situated on 11 acres at a retreat center along with 4 other listings. There is a labyrinth on site, hiking trails, a vortex, and a firepit. It's a great place to stay to go for day trips to vineyards, to go hiking in Morrow Mountain State Park or the Uwharrie National Forest, or kayaking on Falls Reservoir. The night sky is a beautiful backdrop for star gazing since there is no light pollution.

DUE TO COVID, LINENS AND TOWELS ARE NOT PROVIDED BUT CAN BE FOR AN ADDITIONAL $15 PER PERSON. LET YOUR HOST KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO AFTER BOOKING.

About the host

Hosted by Ellen Whiteside

Host profile image
I have been an innkeeper for the past 16 years and have had the honor of welcoming so many amazing guests here. My gift is being able to connect with people and to make them feel at home and taken care of. I was born in Columbia, South Carolina, attended Clemson University, traveled in Europe for a year, and then settled in Portland, Oregon where I lived for 22 years. I practiced as a massage therapist for 20 years. Sunshine brought me back to the south and I am so blessed to be living at this sacred place. I love meeting new people and sharing my lovely space with them.

Why they chose this property

A Review from a recent guest:
“Sacred grove retreat is truly a magical place that left our souls feeling recharged and our wounds healed. Although I personally didn't meet Ellen, her healing touch is evident in the property in many forms. We took a walk through the labyrinth just after midnight on New Years 2020 that took our breath away and left us awestruck from the beauty of life, mother earth beneath our feet, and the heavens above us. At the entrance, the magic begins as we took a reflective walk to the center making sure to not look up yet. We asked the healing stone at the center to do it's work, then looked up at the most spectacular starscape imaginable. I wasn't a believer in witchcraft until that very moment, but the mysteriously eerie, dark, but beautiful energy within the labyrinth was pulsing through us as though we were one with mother earth, the cosmos and heavens, and ourselves. We went back inside and wrote love lists, people we love, and the things we loved about ourselves, as well as those that bring us up when we're down. Our souls reinvigorated, we fell into the most blissful sleep, making our journey for healing complete. Thank you Sacred Grove and Ellen for providing the space and your magical powers for us.”
