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.

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.

Perfect getaway

What an amazing experience. We were looking for a quick long weekend getaway and are already looking to book a full week by the end of summer. Such a nice property, the layout is well thought out. Private dock don't forget to look into renting the boat as well cant beat being able to explore the lake. Clear quiet nights in the hot-tub overlooking the lake. Each room has an amazing view of the lake and surrounding hillsides. This one is might be a best kept secret. If you want to unplug - fish-boat-swim.. this is the one! Clean house - nice beds and an amazing view from every point. Owner was easy to keep in communication with and prompt as well. Thanks!

Serenity at its finest!

There are not enough things we could say about this property! Let’s start with the view….it surely couldn’t get much better! A little slice of heaven in God’s country! The sunrises and sunsets were like portraits you only see on postcards! The house perfectly laid out with a bathroom in each room and another on the first floor. The bedrooms were so comfortable and inviting! The kitchen literally has everything you need!! We grocery shopped and got what we needed and ate our only 4 times in 8 days. We just didn’t want to leave the property! The deck/patio, bar and grill area were perfect for those rainy nights, enough space for everyone! The kayaks were so much fun, we got a chance to teach and practice with our son and we had a ball just floating in the lake! The pontoon boat rental was a fabulous way to see the lake and your map and swim hole ideas were fantastic! The lounge chairs by the lake perfect! Our only suggestion would be to get some Andirobdack chairs for around the fire.

Relaxing Serene Lake Retreat

Wonderful! This property was at the end of the lake so we had almost no boat traffic. Since you face a national forest, the view was superb. The pontoon we rented was fun and the dock was perfect for relaxing. It was very private and had everything needed to cook and hang out. The back deck is fenced in so perfect for our dog. He enjoyed his vacation with us and was sad to leave.

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!

Waters Edge

Gorgeous home right on the lake. Owner promptly responded to any questions or concerns. Plush comfortable mattresses. Huge porch facing lake made it feel like we were sitting almost on top of lake. Spent 5 relaxing days here. From house to boat dock is approximately 40 ft. Walk, Absolutely no regrets about choosing this place for our family vacation

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!!

What a place!!! Wish we could’ve stayed longer. The house was great and as advertised very clean and great beds! 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.

Perfect Family Vacation!!

Such a NICE place!!! Highly recommend. Super clean, nicely updated and appointed rental. Dock was great and hot tub was as well. We had smores every night in the fire pit. Had everything we needed - and everything was labeled (kitchen drawer and cabinet labels were awesome!!). Only recommendation would be to have a sleeper sofa in the living room. Would definitely consider renting again if Brenda would have us back.

Great home, property and scenery

What a great spot on Watauga Lake! Peaceful and serene! Beauty awaits you from the inside of the home that is tastefully decorated, the easy living floor plan that brings the outside in with the wide open french doors to the covered porch overlooking the lake. The kitchen was great for cooking meals with our family and we enjoyed the outdoor space for eating and grilling at the bar area. The beds were super comfortable and lots of room for everyone to space out! Brenda and her husband were wonderful hosts and always available to answer questions! My family and i look forward to staying here again in the future!

Perfect lake house!

I cannot recommend this property enough. We spent a week here. The home was the perfect size for two couples, and the lake views were absolutely beautiful. We spent hours swimming in the lake and jumping off the dock. The home was well furnished, very clean, and the air condition worked well. We rented the boat through Brenda, and it couldn’t have been easier. She brought it right to the house for us with a full tank of gas. We cruised the whole lake for days and it was a dream vacation. We will definitely be back!

Great lake side vacation rental

We frequently visit Watauga Lake for our summer vacation and this is our new favorite rental property. Communication with the property manager was very easy and she is extremely prompt in responding. The house was clean and the kitchen had everything we could imagine. The fire pit and hot tub are a welcome amenity that some other properties don't provide. Our favorite aspect of this rental property was the available boat rental. We were originally planning to rent a boat from a nearby marina but having the boat available at the property itself is a huge convenience factor. We'll be back for sure and our family had a wonderful vacation getting to unplug from the daily grind and enjoy the beautiful mountains and lake of eastern Tennessee.

PARADISE

This house was perfect and had every amenity. Brenda was amazing to work with! She helped answer all of our questions before we arrived and even once we were at the property. The linen and towels were absolutely luxurious. She has high end taste and really payed attention to EVERY detail. There are a ton of hooks and storage for wet clothes and to keep organized. The view is picturesque no matter where you are on the property or out on the lake. The property owners are top notch. They took time to review the map of the lake and provided tips and tricks to boating on the lake. So many unexpected surprises as far as amenities. Once we were on site, we never left. If you are looking for the perfect relaxing get away with your family, this is the place and these are the type of owners you want to work with. THANK YOU for opening your doors to our family and sharing a little piece of paradise.
