About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.

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!

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.

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

Great place on the lake

Our 4 person group was looking for a nice place to stay on the lake for a long weekend. This place was perfect and we enjoyed every minute. Parking was a tad tight pulling a small boat but we made it work. The dock made it convenient that we did not have to trailer the boat every day.

Halfway between Johnson City, TN and Boone, NC

This house will not disappoint! It is the perfect size and has a great setup. There is a large entry/mudroom, a cozy, but spacious family room and kitchen area with a half bath, and two very generous bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs. This property has the most well-stocked and labeled kitchen. Although it is tight, it is perfect for a vacation home! It should be noted that the main two beds are on the softer side, there is a little road noise due to the property being so close to the main road around the lake, and one should watch their step around a few places such as the drain towards the bottom of the boat ramp near the dock. These things were really only personal preferences and should not be held against the property! The owner is polite, easy to communicate with, and willing to help, but does not interfere. We really enjoyed having this landing spot for visiting family in Boone, NC. The road is a bit curvy, but beautiful! We also went to Moses Cones' property and the Blue Ridge Parkway on another outing and it is just far enough to make a nice day trip from the lake home. Our family also traveled to Jonesborough, TN for the storytelling festival pre activities one day. Pristine lake and a well-kept home with a very clean hot tub!

Awesome

The house has everything you need and Brenda the host is great to deal with. Have never been to this part of TN but it is beautiful with the Smokey Mountains as a back drop the the awesome Crystal clear lake. Only thing would be parking is tight and a good climb up from the dock to the house! Would highly recommend this property. Thank you for letting us enjoy your wonderful waters edge home.
