My husband and I brought our dog for a peaceful week celebrating our wedding anniversary. The neighborhood and the cabin had other plans. Starting from the first morning of our stay, and continuing throughout our entire reservation, the cabin above us on the hill had construction noise from 8am until around 4pm. Power washing, chain saws, mowers and blowers, and hammers and drills. Every single day. We could not enjoy being outside in/by the river as planned. Inside the cabin left a lot to be desired as well. There was a very strong odor of ammonia present inside. I believe there may have been a dead animal in the crawl space. The smell worsened as the a/c came on, so we tried to leave the windows and doors open as much as possible. We also purchased air fresheners to attempt to mask the odor, unsuccessfully. Aside from the smell, there was also a layer of dirt on the floor that caused us to want to keep our shoes on while walking inside. We even found old dog toys under the couch as further evidence that the cabin had not been properly cleaned before our stay. The first floor bathroom toilet seat showed an unacceptable amount of wear and missing paint. The blinds are old and tangled so they cannot be opened properly. The furniture on the screened in porch was terribly uncomfortable but appeared to be brand new. Spending a few more dollars to get quality cushions would have gone a long way in making the best view from the cabin a lot more comfortable. Another issue that we encountered was a lack of privacy. The photos make the cabin seem very isolated. However, there is another cabin just feet away from the yard on the hot tub side of the house, as well as the cabin above Waters Edge that is clearing a pathway all the way down to the river on the other side. With all that being said, Waters Edge does provide a well stocked kitchen, modern appliances, and quality linens. We also felt the communications with the staff were all prompt and professional.
