The Sanford House has been staple of the Downtown Arlington area for 25 years! Founder, Sharon Bergstrom, created The Sanford House for residents and visitors to have an accessible luxurious experience. Over the past 25 years, The Sanford House has expanded the services they offer, as of 2022, you can expect their services to include event space rentals, bed & breakfast, catering, a restaurant, a bar and a lavish spa experience.
At the beginning of 2022, The Sanford House announced that they would be celebrating their 25 years by performing 25 Acts of Kindness.
