Great location, views and everything you would need!
Had a great week at Sadie's Retreat! Usually VRBOs can be rather spartan but this was well thought out and had all the amenities you would need for your trip, and felt more like home. Loved the view and quiet location, and being dog friendly was the icing on the cake! Jason was also a pleasure to deal with. No doubts that we would stay here again if we come back to the area. A++. Thanks for the memories!

Last minute fall getaway
What a great last minute weekend getaway! The owner Jason was so helpful with the booking process and worked to have the cabin ready for our arrival. Wine, freshly baked cookies and snacks awaited us when we arrived late. Jason even turned the lights on for us and started the heat remotely. We couldn’t have been happier with the location for a home base. Our dogs had a great time romping in the water and enjoyed the dog toys left for fur guests. The cottage was very warm and welcoming with an amazing view. Will definitely stay here again!

What a great visit!
Our family was looking for the perfect intimate spot to spend a weekend away from the busy city environment. With two professional demanding jobs and teenagers, a quick escape to spend time together is what we hoped for. With a vast selection of new rentals in the Charlevoix Boyne East Jordan area, we weren’t really looking for another typical house that reminded us of the city. And wow did we find that up north classy cozy charm at Sadie’s Retreat. It was a place of character, a loved classy cabin that the owners put their heart into maintaining its character. My husband and I were commenting how it has all the luxury of the new school vibes but also was able to maintain the classic nostalgia that we were seeking for our up north getaway. We have spent many nights renting in the area over the last 10 years and this is one property that lands in a class of its own. Obviously we will be returning year after year if not multiple seasons within the year. Thanks for sharing your home with us and making our experience so special!
