About this property

EXPERIENCE THE WATER'S EDGE. FAMILIES LOVE IT! EVERYONE LOVES IT!

When you arrive at Water's Edge you will not want or need to leave. We offer a Pontoon boat rental from May to October that can stay at the house overnight/s and you can use at your leisure with no trips running back and forth and wasting precious vacation/boating time. This house is as close to the water as one can get. We have been VRBO property owners since 2014. This property is a Beach Style Lakefront home with double slip dock. The gentle slope of the patio walk to water provides an easy walk to the Waters Edge. The house has 2 bedrooms with independent Mini-split AC. Master Suite has a King Bed with full bathroom with step in shower. 2ND Bedroom has 1 Queen bed and a set of bunk beds with Ensuite full Bathroom with step in shower. All of our beds are very comfortable and after each guest leaves every piece of linen, every blanket, every quilt or bedspread is washed and fresh especially for you. We also have a 3rd Full Bath on the ground floor with step in shower. This house will sleep 6 comfortably in beds and if you have some young ones to sleep on the large comfy sectional there is space enough for 2 smaller humans.

Wifi is 20 mbps with DISH TV.

IF YOU REQUIRE HIGH SPEED INTERNET PLEASE DO NOT RENT THIS PROPERTY. We do have wifi that will serve for wifi phone calls and emails etc. You can play anything but WAR ZONE according to my 17 year old son.

The house boasts a full eat in Kitchen and open floor plan Living area. The view from the huge front porch is spectacular and as a Bonus we have a Bar-B-Q Chef's dream complete with a Gas grill and outdoor Bar. Just outside the sliding door and off the huge deck you will find a the Hot Tub. Our Hot Tub is drained after each guest leaves and we use minimal Bromide tablets to keep it fresh for you. Sit in the Hot Tub and take in the Magnificent Watauga Lake in all its Glorious Beauty. Jump in one of the Kayak's and drift off into the sunset. If you're not a Hot Tub person then maybe you stroll down to the Water's Edge and sit by the Fire Pit or rent the pontoon boat and jump aboard at your leisure. Ask after booking for details of the pontoon boat rental.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Another great summer vacation by the lake

This is our third time renting Water's Edge and as always our family had a great time! We rarely revisit short term rentals but we love coming back here as Brenda and Tim are great hosts and the lake keeps us cool when we can no longer bear the summer heat.

Family getaway

The house was perfect! It had everything you needed and the extras that you forgot at home. The house was incredibly clean and the beds were like sleeping on a cloud. Access to the water was a huge bonus. We brought a huge floating pad and spent one day just floating outside the house. I can whole heartedly agree with the other reviews and give it 10 out of 10! If you’re looking for a nice relaxing getaway, then this is where you need to stay.

Weekend on the Lake

My family and I had a wonderful time spending a few days at the lake. What a view sitting on the dock looking at the lake with the mountains surrounding. We enjoyed our time and wish we could have stayed several more days.

Tennessee in the Fall

What a wonderful home!! We had an amazing time! The house was wonderfully clean, fun decor, perfect location! We truly enjoyed using the boat to get a vivid view of the fall colors on the lake. The fire pit and hot tub were outstanding. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful place for family to come together

My family and I all came from different states come together for a family weekend. Thanks for this wonderful residence we had a fantastic time. Poor weather didn’t stop us from having an amazing weekend inside. We got to meet the owners and they are lovely people. Overall, I think we’ll be back again soon.

Splendor on the Lake

The house was very comfy & well stocked with everything we needed for our family gathering. The kitchen supplies were over the top with all that our chefs needed to feed us their fabulous meals!! The outdoor porch was a perfect gathering place and down by the water set up was made for relaxing by the water's edge!! Wonderful place!! Thank you!!

Very good communication and boat rental although it’s not a must with a great dock I definitely recommend getting out in lake. Beautiful back deck with table and grill to enjoy the nights.
