Map & Owner's Profile
Lakefront Luxury Cabin with Mountain Views, Dock, Canoe, Kayak
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Watauga Lake
We chose Watauga Lake out of twelve lakes we were looking at in the southeast because of its elevation, its great water quality, and lack of crowding. Sixty percent of the watershed is occupied by the Cherokee National Forest and will never be developed. There are no weekend or summertime boat jams on Watauga. We also wanted mountains and views of them from the cabin. On Watauga we got it all! It is the perfect vacation lake home for year round enjoyment. There are indoor and outdoor activities at the home or close by during all four seasons. Our home is in the country, but convenient to the cities. Once you experience our lake home, no others will do!
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
Waters Edge is easily accessed directly off Sink Valley Road. No steep, narrow mountain road to make you wonder whether you'll make it or not. There are also no adjacent cabins which allows you to fully relax and enjoy nature. With your very own dock and adjacent fire ring, you can thoroughly enjoy the lake both during the day and at night. Waters Edge is luxuriously furnished and not a stripped down rental cabin. Stay once and you'll want to stay again and again!
Owner's Map of Watauga Lake
My wife and I are environmental consultants in Florida who love to escape to the Appalachian mountains. Good quality lake water is important to us in our profession and our free time. Those are prime reasons why we chose to build on the shores of Watauga Lake - the mountains (elevation of 2000 feet at our home) and absolutely great water quality. We enjoy it all at Waters Edge - all outdoor activities, relaxing in the cabin, cooking with family and friends, and enjoying the mountains. When we leave Waters Edge, we are saddened but already planning our next trip back.
We have made Waters Edge a truly premier cabin for us and our guests. We have carefully planned and selected everything you will need to enjoy your stay. We have it cleaned and maintained meticulously to keep it in that premier shape. We are sure you will notice it and it will add to your enjoyment.
