This house is beautiful, and there is plenty of room for everyone to spread out and do their own thing. It is an open concept, but one night we had adults watching a movie on the main level and teens watching a movie on the lower level, and we were surprisingly not able to hear eachother's movies. It was colder and rainier than we were hoping for during the week we were there, but we still took some water toys out on the warmest day and had a blast. The house is closer to the road than I anticipated, but the area is so remote that there really wasn't any traffic and there are no other homes nearby, so it was still very secluded and private. Everything was very well stocked and clean, and the scenery was gorgeous. The only slightly annoying thing that we experienced was that the phone kept ringing at all hours, and when we would answer someone would just keep saying "hello?" We ended up unplugging the phones for the duration of our visit. The driveway could be a little tricky if you were hauling a trailer- it's either going to be a tight turn to get in or a tight turn to get out, and it was difficult to see when leaving the driveway, but there was almost never another car and it was really not a problem for us since we only brought one car and didn't pull a trailer. Overall it was a relaxing, wonderful stay in a beautiful place and I would absolutely go there again.

We enjoyed this place and planning on coming back

Our stay at this Waters Edge home was amazing! The home was even more beautiful than the pictures had shown, so very clean and the view from this waterfront property was absolutely breathtaking! We have all agreed this will be a new annual family tradition- the perfect location to bring us all together for a family vacation! We even rented a pontoon boat from a local marina and spent Sunday afternoon viewing the fall colors on the mountain from the lake- beautiful! Thank you, Scott, for sharing this little slice of paradise with our family!

This was wonderful. The home was beautiful, clean, well equipped and the views were breathtaking! We loved the canoes and kayaks, fishing, pool table, the water, the fire ring .... everything was fantastic. The most peaceful relaxing & fun vacation we've had in years!

Loved the property. Secluded and plenty of space for the family.

We had the best time in this beautiful home right on the lake. We wanted peaceful and beautiful and that’s what we got. We will back!

Good

Of all the homes we've rented this was by far the best. The location, the house, was everything we hoped it would be. The house is beautiful, better than the pictures show! The beds are comfortable, except for the downstairs pull out. The kitchen is well stocked and even has room to store your food. Our family of seven all agree we'd like to come back. The Lake is fantastic...although you can get lost out there! We didn't see any bear but had deer come for a visit. The two 75 year old's managed the stairs pretty well.

Picture perfect, serene and tranquil! All of the amenities you need. Time spent mostly swimming in the lake with perfect water temps. The cabin is very large and spacious with lots of stair climbing between the floors! You’ll get your exercise for sure! Just didn’t want to leave! Thank you Scott and Michele for sharing your beautiful cabin. We had the best family vacation.

Overall property was great. I’d say anyone with any sort of knee or hip issues would have problems negotiating the slope down to dock which is quite severe. Beautiful lake and beautiful location.

We just spent a great week at this lovely house. Quiet location on the lake. Everyone had a great time and plenty of space. Really the only gripe I heard from all staying with us was that the pool table is slightly unlevel otherwise, A+!

Our family loved Waters Edge. It is in a quiet cove good for swimming and boating. We enjoyed the canoe and kayaks. The cabin has everything you need and it’s easier to get to the dock than most Wautauga rentals. Note: if you are sleeping on the bottom floor 2 bedrooms you do hear all movements of the main floor above. The beds are comfortable and everything you need is provided for a fun stay. We hope to come back!

Lovely location, super quiet!

This place was awesome! The walkway and stairs coming back up from the docks were steep and not enjoyable but that was the only negative thing about the experience. If your looking for peace and quiet, it’s a great place to visit!

We will be back

went for a weekend with friends from college and really enjoyed the house!

The beautiful photos that you can see of the cabin do not compare to that moment when you open the door and you see the first impression of what awaits you inside. Three beautiful levels with a fully equipped kitchen, you literally just need to take your clothes and a cooler if you plan to spend the whole day on the lake. Scott, who is an excellent host, has taken care of every single detail to made us feel like we were really at home. 100% it will be in our checklist for future vacations.

Very nice!

This home is well kept. Home is equipped for a nice weekend on the lake shore. Everything you would need to entertain your family from young to old. Be prepared for a lot of stairs to the lake. We are grateful that we selected this waters edge to enjoy our youngest graduation weekend.

We rented Waters Edge for Thanksgiving. It was quiet, lovely, and perfect for reconnecting as a family.

The home and location were perfect for our family. You get plenty of exercise visiting the dock and water, but it is worth it. We would stay there again and highly recommend.

The cabin was everything as described and more. Scott, the owner was a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend this rental.

Property had all amenities needed and the check in and check out process was seamless. Owner called the day before to ensure we had all of the info required. Would highly recommend.

A wonderful tranquil home. Perfect for the whole family and friends. The layout of the home was great, the kitchen amazing and well supplied with platters, dishes and glassware for our family and lots of great sunsets!!

This home is very spacious and offers alot of sleeping spaces. It is nicely appointed. The cove location is perfect for exploring by kayak and for just relaxing on a float. Although it is a steep incline to the home the way the steps are arranged makes it doable compared to other properties on the lake. Very enjoyable and would definately return again.

The house is great, one of the nicer ones around the lake. Plenty of space. Living rooms on each floor. Full kitchen on the main floor, mini kitchen on the bottom floor. We enjoyed the pool table. Lots of deck space. Great fire pit and patio. Nice dock with plenty of room for the pontoon we rented and space to fish or just hang out. Nice laundry room and three (2.5) bathrooms. The four bedrooms are spacious. The outdoor shower is a nice touch and worked great for dog bathing. The owners have very specific rules, and small signs posted throughout the house. They were easy to follow - mostly common sense. And that is one thing that keeps the place so nice, with so many great amenities for the next visitors. You’ll build up your leg muscles going up the deck stairs. Most houses on Watauga Lake have steep sloping yards and this one is no exception. But this is closer to the water than many. Great kayak and canoe collection. We thought we would use them but didn’t. Nice to have though. No complaints about the property. It is remote. Didn’t have cell service (Verizon) but the Wi-Fi worked great. There’s so much to do in the area - we hiked, rafted, shopped. Expect to drive 30 minutes or more to do any of that. Otherwise, we spent a lot of time on the lake. It’s a beautiful lake!

Everything was as shown on VRBO. Great location, stores were nearby. All around a great week, we will return. Thank You, Scott

Great place for families!! Had a great time!

Great time

Love that it’s right on the lake- having a dock is a must! The canoes and kayaks were great. Can had everything we needed. The only issue is the upstairs bed was SUPER firm and uncomfortable. Whole family enjoyed our week here in June.

The property was clean and tranquil. The steps on the house were exhausting to climb. The rope railing on the wooden walkway to the dock was perfect for the kids but low for an adult. The last step on the wooden walkway was hard to see and some fluorescent tape at each step or something might be a good idea to avoid an injury. We had a great time!!!

Trip was amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for an awesome family-get-together with very close friends. The cabin is very nice, well-maintained, and equipped with all the essentials and more. Plenty of space to hang out both inside and outside with breathtaking views. We had endless activities from fishing on the dock, swimming, boat riding, kayaking, grilling, lounging on the decks, games, and playing pool. Highly recommended for a fun-filled experience.
