What a wonderful house this is! Located a short walk to a public dock on the water and the community playground, we had a great time at this property as a family. This house comes well stocked, it is like entering your home away from home. The hosts truly thought of everything and made traveling as a family with a toddler so easy. From provided amenities, cleanliness, proximity to the water, fabulous views, and the coziness of the home--this rental can't be beat. We hope to return in the future.

My family had a wonderful time at this tiny house (which is a bit of a misnomer as we had tons of space for four adults and two children)! The surrounding community is really lovely, and we took advantage of multiple gorgeous hiking trails with waterfall views a very short distance away. All in all, we had a really great time!

We had a great long weekend at the Swordfish Suite. The hosts Abby and Mike could not have been nicer. They responded right away to any questions we had and even gave us recommendations on where to eat during our stay. The home itself is beautiful. With so many personal touches. The views of the lake were so nice. The pup/pub shed was so cute. A great place to hang out and watch the sunset. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are in the area. I didn’t want to leave. Just a very relaxing trip.

Perfect and you can bring your dog!

The owners were amazing! Also the place was perfectly outfitted. Didn’t need one thing or couldn’t make even one suggestion to improve. The ‘pup shed’ for the dog was awesome! My lab loved it. We will definitely be returning and enjoying this rental and beautiful location

Visited the area to attend Family Weekend at Sewanee. Property was as listed and well appointed. From a corkscrew to Dove Body Wash...owners thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. If you have pets this property is perfect for your fur babies. We only had two minor issues and the owners responded promptly with resolution.The only reason for a one star deduction was the cushions for the outdoor furniture sets were soiled and we had to sweep the deck due to accumulation of leaves and spider webs on furniture backs. The gates at the subdivision entrance were always open....outside of the owners control. Overall, Retreat at Waters Edge is a gorgeous property.

Great long weekend gateway!

We enjoyed very much the time Swordfish Suite DOG friendly- Pup Shed Retreat. We loved kayaking at lake as well as nights at fire pit. The place was extremely comfortable for a family of 4: 2 adults and 2 young adults. The house is very clean and provides everything you may need and more. Just like another reviewer mentioned please read the dog house rules carefully before booking. In doubt reach out to the homeowners, they are very responsive. Thank you for sharing your “tiny” home with us this long weekend!

Perfect spot for the fam + pups

This property is amazing, especially if you bring the doggos along. There is plenty of porch space (with gates throughout to create mini sections) as well as a fenced in yard for the dogs. Even better, there is an entire shed to use for the dogs to sleep or a lil pub setup for the adults (it also has a deck section for neat indoor / outdoor vibes). We encountered a pretty wild storm during our stay and the power went out. I reached out to the property owners and they immediately took action, were incredibly courteous, and amazingly responsive. We've stayed at Water's Edge a few times in different houses but this was far and away the best experience we've had. Looking forward to booking our next stay at the Swordfish Suites!

Great getaway near Nashville

Despite so so weather we absolutely loved our stay at Abby and Mike’s “tiny”cottage. We have stayed in a number of rental homes through the years and I think this was the most carefully outfitted of all. They literally have thought of everything you could possibly want or need during your stay. It’s lovely. The tiny house community is also very nicely laid out and well maintained. The convenience to the savage gulch and fiery gizzard hiking areas is what initially drew us there but the swordfish suite would be fun anywhere. One caveat: do read the dog house rules carefully before booking. We had some confusion there but the owners were very willing to communicate with us and work it out. Great experience!!
