We loved the magical Three Sisters Sanctuary. A great home base for exploring the area and the sanctuary itself which is a work of beauty, grief, and joy. The merging of nature and art is spectacular.

We loved our stay! Very unique, lots of character. It's on a somewhat busy road, so there was some car noise, but the air conditioner drowned it out. Would definitely visit again!

I had a fantastic stay at the Three Sisters Sanctuary! It is such an inspiring and relaxing place to stay and be creative. I was on a writing retreat and was able to write over 8,300 words in this ruminative and energizing environment.

Richard has truly created a beautiful and comfortable space. We enjoyed all of the artwork and furnishings, the lending library, and of course, the property grounds. Richard was a wonderful host, ensuring we knew he was available if needed and offering suggestions, but at the same time leaving us to enjoy our stay. We definitely look forward to another stay in the spring!

It’s hard to put into words what an amazing experience it is to stay at The Three Sisters Sanctuary. We felt profoundly welcomed by our hosts- Richard, the Painted Lady apartment and the grounds themselves. It was such a gift to be able to spend time in the sculpture gardens and environment while we were there and learn more about all of the spaces and Richard’s vision. We hope to return the next time we are in the area and highly recommend staying and/or visiting!

Unfortunately this was a customer who did not end up staying because she was not comfortable in the apartment. So we gave her a full refund.

About the host

Hosted by Richard Richardson

Host profile image
I'm from New Jersey, but I've been living here in Goshen, MA for over 50 years. I enjoy meeting guests and chatting as time allows and learning how people find this special place, and what they are up to that brings them this way.

Why they chose this property

The D.A.R forest and the wetlands surrounding the property make up most of the neighbors and neighborhood, though other people do live on this street and do interesting and creative things. Institute of Musical Art, Holy Cross Campground, are very close.

What makes this property unique

Not everything at Three Sisters announces itself like the dragon or Father Time. Some discoveries require you to slow down completely. In the bathroom of our rental, two separate canvases hung on shelves, one above the other. Alone, neither seemed especially meaningful. Together, arranged exactly as they were, they formed a single feather. I loved it instantly: a small, quiet moment of completion tucked somewhere no one was required to look.
Throughout the property, and inside the house, pieces by other artists appear in unexpected places: a glass panel here, a mosaic there, each folded into the landscape as if it had been born there. Somewhere along the way, this became more than one man's private vision. It became a gathering place, welcoming other people's art the same way it invites visitors to leave a photograph among the dragon's stones.
My favorite hour to walk the property was early morning. There is a long row of glass sculptures set in wooden frames, their backs turned to a wetland full of frogs, lily pads, and cattails. When the sun comes up behind them, the whole row catches fire with light. It is the kind of image that makes you stop walking and remember to breathe and appreciate beauty when it presents itself and you are lucky enough to see it.
