Vacation Rentals by Sadie

Thanks for all the little things that make this cabin feel like a house

This is our first visit to the mountains and it will definitely not be the last. We loved staying here and we absolutely love people around here. They are so nice, warm and willing to lend a hand. We drove to Asheville and it was a wonderful and really pretty ride. We made several trips to the lake and although we did not get to swimming we did take our boat out and go fishing. We will definitely be back. Thanks for all the little things that make this cabin feel like a house.

We had the most relaxing wonderful experience here at Sadie’s Retreat. There is so much to do in the area. We spent most of our time just relaxing on the porch. Nice location wonderful view. We took the boat tour def a must do!

We really enjoyed our stay at Sadie’s Retreat

We really enjoyed our stay at Sadie’s Retreat – it is such a sweet cabin and had everything we needed to make the stay perfect. We enjoyed hiking Chimney Rock and visiting the local Restaurants. Sadie’s Retreat was very relaxing and we hope to visit again in the future.

Enjoyed our three days in Lake Lure

admin — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 19:07:30 +0000

Hey, My wife, son (5), and I enjoyed our three days in Lake Lure. The cabin was nice and met all our needs. The highlight for us was Chimney Rock – an energetic 5 year old can indeed make the climb from the bottom. Spent a day in Asheville. (If you go to Asheville, take 64/74 to Bat Cave, but then make athe left to take 64 over to I-26 and up to Asheville. 74 is just too windy for us at least.) We were amazed at all the amenities in the kitchen we’re used to beach houses that have nothing. If I had to nitpick, a spaghetti strainer would have come in handy.
Dinner at Larkin’s on the Lake was really good – highly recommended.
My son’s favorite parts of the cabin were: spongebob on TV and the lockbox. Loved spinning those wheels. Hope he didn’t wear it out.
Thanks!

Were the deer in the front yard kept on retainer or paid by the visit?

We enjoyed the three day weekend w/friends getting reacquainted after many lost years after college. Thanks for providing the perfect intimate environment to make this happen.
Best Wishes and future success w/Sadie’s!

PS Were the deer in the front yard kept on retainer or paid by the visit? They definitely added to the mountain ambience.

PSS I waited to meet Sadie, but she never came to visit. Tell her we say hi. Give her big hug.

The Cabin was Very Welcoming.

We had a great time! The cabin is wonderful, very cozy, comfortable & inviting. Diamond had fun hiking & swimming, chasing bunnies & squirrels. She did get a little over excited & jumped out of the car window. Luckily I was almost stopped!

The cabin was very welcoming. What a wonderful place to spend our vacation. Stella had a great time hiking and just sitting on the porch enjoying the views. Thank you for providing a peaceful vacation home.

First Vacation in a While…

admin — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 00:52:04 +0000

Very relaxing. In a great location. We were able to get many areas in about ½ hour. Wish the leaves were brighter as the cabin has a beautiful view of the mountain. Enjoyed the privacy and comfort of the cabin. First vacation in a while where we didn’t need to bring our Pom Dusty to an emergency vet – he likes privacy.

Sadie’s Retreat and the Lake Lure/Chimney Rock area far exceeded our expectations

admin — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 00:48:15 +0000

We have really enjoyed our stay in Sadie’s Retreat and at Lake Lure. The cabin was wonderful! (Thanks for listening to the previous guest’s suggestions about the spaghetti strainer – we needed it!) Our puppy, Brandy, had the time of his life and thanks Sadie for the use of her bed. Lake Lure was nice – we strongly recommend to future guests to take the walk around the Lake at Morse Park Trail – Beautiful! Chimney Rock Park was amazing. The puppy couldn’t make it to the top of Chimney Rock, but the Hickory Nut Falls trail at Chimney Rock Park was great for a dog! Chimney Rock Village was nice – the River Walk was wonderful! A short walk but well worth it. (Also great for dogs).
Sadie’s Retreat and the Lake Lure/Chimney Rock area far exceeded our expectations and we look forward to returning soon!

We had a grand time during our stay at Sadie’s Retreat!

admin — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 00:46:57 +0000

We had a grand time during our stay at Sadie’s Retreat! A roomy comfortable serene place is just what we needed to get away from it all. To cap off all the wonderful things NC has to offer, the deer, sun rises, sunsets and hummingbirds (not to mention the Monarchs too!) were glorious! While staying at Sadie’s Retreat, we ventured out many areas. First there was Asheville & the LaZoom tour. Then dinner at Limonies – spectacular food! The tour is a must do! Then there was Chimney Rock & hiking. Again, spectacular and awe inspiring. Lake Lure Beach – beautiful. Tubing down the French Broad River – Amazingly fun. A little treacherous yet fun. The town of Chimney Rock – a must do & don’t forget River Walk & a ice cream at Hershey’s Yummy! We took the Cherokee Excursion to Cherokee, NC. A bit of a distance but well worth it. There is a lot to be seen, especially if you’re a history lover. The Pisgah Forest is beautiful and if you are here in the summer you must go to the Sliding Rock. It is a natural water slide that is 60 feet high and goes into a 50 foot swimming hole! Kids love it! It was great having Ingles right up the road!

We ran out of time and had to leave but we will return to continue crossing off our “Bucket List” of things we’d like to do in North Carolina!
Thank you for sharing your home with us!

PS I loved my cabin vacation – thanx for the use of the bed, bowls, & toys – Sadie! Great porch to sleep, rest, watch deer & just plain relax on – great yard to explore. Buried a new bone in the house for next lucky dog to find. Nice to have a place that welcomes us dogs!

The Deer were Beautiful!

admin — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 00:43:34 +0000

Despite all the rain, Phil, Lucas (see picture), Zack (85lbs black lab) and I had a wonderful stay. We hiked a lot, took Zach swimming, let Lucas run back and forth along the rocking chair front porch. This was a great getaway. The beds were super comfortable and all the extras were helpful. Only recommendation is to have “Dirty Dancing”, The DVD to watch.
The deer were beautiful!
