The property is located close to Black Mountain for shopping and dining but far enough out of town to enjoy being surrounded by nature. Spacious home with large family room/dining/kitchen perfect for our family to gather together around the fireplace with wonderful views of the mountains. Beds were comfortable. We had everything we needed.

The Saddle Lodge was absolutely perfect for our 2 family fall weekend. The house was perfectly equipped/stocked and allowed us to immediately begin relaxing. The indoor and outdoor games and fire-pit made for endless fun for our teens/kids. We will definitely be back!

I booked this lovely cabin for my parents 50th anniversary. Their wish was a getaway in the mountains with their family. This cabin was absolutely perfect! The view is gorgeous!
The room set up fit us perfectly. 2 couples with their own room and then we shared the large room that had a Queen bed and twins with our kids.
There are plenty of games downstairs for a rainy day. Our kid’s favorite was the arcade game.
We also enjoyed evenings outside around the firepit.
If you have a large family or need a cabin for a few couples and kids, this is perfect.

The Saddle Lodge offers a beautiful view, a great location, and provides everything you need for your stay away from home. There are several activities you can enjoy within an hours drive of the lodge, and the town of Black Mountain offers unique shopping experiences and delicious food.
We found the kitchen to be well stocked with gadgets and spices, and we were pleasantly surprised by the quantity of hot water and water pressure. No one had to take a cold shower! As a family, we loved our time together playing games, ping pong, and sitting by the bonfire. The mountain view is spectacular from sunrise to sunset and can be enjoyed with a cup of coffee or a quiet meal on the back deck.
Our hosts were welcoming and quick to respond to any questions we had. They also offered recommendations of things to do in the area. The Lodge was very clean and well taken care of. We highly recommend a stay at Saddle Lodge!

House is very clean and comfortable. It’s easy to access but tucked away in the woods and quiet. Very quick drive to Ingles for groceries as well as into downtown Black Mountain for drinks and dining. Excellent communication with owners / property managers. Wonderful experience.

We were in town for a speech and debate tournament with a little sightseeing on either end. The location of this home is perfect - feels remote but close to the freeway. The views were beautiful. The home had everything we needed and then some. We used every bed, and they were all extremely comfortable. Everything was very clean and worked well. The host was extremely friendly and always responded immediately. We stay in rentals often because of our large family and dogs, and this was one of our best experiences. We will be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was exceptionally clean and stocked with necessities. We were welcomed and kept in touch with before, during, and after our trip. We loved being able to grill on the deck and settle in by the cozy fire at night. The surrounding area was beautiful with great grocery stores and restaurants, along with downtown shops in Black Mountain.

The owner Cheryl, was a pleasure to work with. The property was clean, comfortable and even nicer than pictured. It’s private and secluded but just a 2-3 minute drive to the charming town of Black Mountain. Try Black Mountain Bistro for the best pork chop you’ll ever have, Ole Guacamole for a choriqueso burrito, the ‘manzo’ from My Father’s Pizza, breakfast at Red Rocker Inn and biscuits at Blue Ridge Biscuit Company and finally, the chocolate toasted coconut ice cream at Kilwin’s. It’s a 15-20 minute drive to Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Evenings were spent around the fire pit, stargazing or playing games. We had a delightful time and hope to return in the spring to see the rhododendrons and mountain laurel in bloom.

Had a great time with 5 of my old college roommates. Black Mountain is close to Asheville but away from the traffic. The house had plenty of room for 6 women - large kitchen and dinning table, living room, extra space downstairs. Two flights of stairs which was a little difficult for a couple of us, but we are seniors! Great view from the deck, which is a good place for evening drinks. I'd go back! The owners were staying in the apartment over the garage and they were very friendly and helpful.

This house is great! The location is perfect - close enough to I-40 that it is an easy drive but far enough away that there is no road noise. Close to Black Mountain which is a very charming village, and close enough to Asheville for an easy drive in.
The house is roomy enough for a group to have multiple spaces for visiting: upstairs den, downstairs playroom and lovely deck. We also loved gathering in the back yard area for a fire in the fire pit. Beds are comfortable and there is a full bathroom on each level.
We plan to meet in the Lodge again soon! I can't say enough good things about the hosts and the property!

We loved our stay at Saddle Lodge—cleanest house I’ve ever rented with extra amenities (like s’mores, coffee, and all spices) which was an added bonus! Even though house is only 2 miles from Stores, restaurants, it feel like you are out in the wilderness. We’d love to come again.

This was a perfect property for myself, two boys (9 & 11) and my mother (80 something). The back porch was spacious with a great view. The kids loved the basement and fire pit. House was roomy, clean, and well stocked. Plenty of good restaurants very close in Black Mountain. Communication with the homeowner was effortless. Would definitely recommend!

Great cabin
I came here with my kids for a vacation in the mountains. This cabin is probably about 20 minutes outside of Asheville. We really enjoyed our stay there. We cooked on the grill and in the kitchen. We built a campfire. We enjoyed the view of the small mountain nearby from the back porch. We saw a small black bear near the house a couple times. Kids especially enjoyed the ping-pong and the old-school video game. Plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably. Clean property with everything we needed! Would love to come back

Everything was as great as pictured and imagined. Close enough to Asheville but also far enough away. Black Mountain is a neat little town in and of itself.
Communication was amazing. From the dash cam view of how to navigate the driveway to helping with the HVAC (our fault). Seriously impressive. House was well set up with towels and pretty much all the basics you need when you arrive. Adorable decorations throughout the house.
And the view. Wow. Thank you so much for everything!

This was our second time staying at the saddle lodge (first time in July 2020). It was a great house for our two families to stay and explore the Black Mountain /Asheville area. Plenty of space to spread out as needed.
Convenient and great location to Black Mountain, hiking and Asheville.
Looking forward to coming back and staying at Safdle Lodge again.

Saddle Lodge is wonderful- the house is surrounded by woods and has gorgeous views of the mountains. It feels completely secluded but is a super quick drive into adorable Black Mountain. Our kids loved the fire pit and swing. Lots of great places to eat and shop in town and hiking nearby too! The house was very clean and had spacious. We wish we could have stayed a few more days!
