MTN CABIN LAKEFRONT,CANOE,3 KAYAKS,POOL/GAME TABLES,FIRE RING,JACUZZI, FIREPLACE

Waters Edge is a luxurious, recently built (finished July '07) custom built log cabin on the shore of beautiful, sparkling Watauga Lake. With 106 miles of shoreline and fabulous coves and islands to explore, use the canoe and kayak provided or bring your own boat and keep it at your very own private dock that comes with the cabin. Rental boats are also available at Fish Springs Marina, with a $10.00 discount for guests of Waters Edge.

If you have to stay in touch with the office, don't fret. Hook up to the wireless network high speed internet, plus make unlimited long distance calls within the continental U.S.


OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES GALORE!!!: There are plenty of activities close by including horseback riding, biking, mountain biking, white water rafting, snow skiing and tubing, sledding, ice skating, hiking (including the Appalachian Trail just 15 minutes away), fishing, golfing, shopping/strolling in Boone/Blowing Rock, or sightseeing and other activities at many outdoor parks anywhere from 10 minutes to 45-60 minutes away. Grandfather Mountain, Chimney Rock and the Blue Ridge Parkway are a few of the more well known destinations, but there are plenty more to be discovered. Bring your bikes and ride on Sink Valley Road right in front of Waters Edge, or transport them to biking trails in the area, including one near the Mast General Store outside of Boone, North Carolina and the Virginia Creeper Trail out of Abbingdon, Virginia to the north. And if none of that interests you, just sit back on one of the four decks and take in the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains. Or turn on your favorite music on the outside speakers.

NOT SO OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES: For those who are not into outdoor activities, there are plenty of other activities. The Butler Museum tells the story of Butler, The Town that Wouldn't Drown! The town used to be at what is now the bottom of Watauga Lake. Old structures, signs and roads are explored by avid scuba divers. In Boone, NC near Appalachian State University and in Blowing Rock, NC, there are plenty of shops with arts, pottery, clothing and collectibles. There are also quite a few excellent restaurants. For bigger city shoppers, Johnson City, TN is not far away. Before you get to Johnson City is Elizabethton which has its own set of smaller town shops, restaurants and even an oldies car show downtown on the weekend nights in the warmer months and a drive-in movie theater!

YOUR VACATION ESCAPE: Escape to Waters Edge for a true retreat in the mountains of Tennessee and nearby North Carolina! The lake and national forest are at your doorstep. This lake home is truly waterfront with its own dock in the backyard. Bring your own boat or rent one nearby. Keep it at the dock which is just steps from the cabin down a winding sidewalk. Join our group of guests who say Waters Edge is the best cabin on Watauga Lake, and keep comin' back!

Fall colors abound around Waters Edge and in the vicinity. Panoramic views are found in any direction you drive.

During the winter, there are 4 ski slopes within a 40 to 50-minute drive. Enjoy the challenge and bustle of the slopes during the day, then escape to your own private mountain lake home. You will easily be able to unwind and relax in front of the home theater system, stone fireplace, Jacuzzi, or fire ring by the lake.

The calendar fills up quickly and well in advance. Make your reservation today and come escape and relax at WATERS EDGE!!!

Amazing lakefront home!
This place has everything you need and the host is very responsive. Beautiful view of the lake and great water access. The stairs down to the water are steep and there are a lot of them, so if you have limited mobility, this would be an issue, but it wasn't a problem for our group. I would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again!

Great Week
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+!

Late July fling
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.

Beautiful vacation cabin!!
The cabin and location are absolutely beautiful! The pictures don’t due it justice. We traveled with 5 adults and 5 children and had more than enough room to enjoy each other without being on top of one another. The floor plan is set up to accommodate multiple families who want to vacation together. Also Scott was a wonderful host. The cabin was exactly as promised and the communication with Scott couldn’t have been better. We absolutely plan on vacationing there again and making even more amazing memories together!

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!

Perfect vacation location!!
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!

Great cabin
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!

The lake was perfect, the canoe and kayaks were great. The dock was terrific. The house worked very well for are family. We loved the multiple decks and views. The walkway from the house to the lake was very difficult to use because it was steep and uneven.

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.

Spacious lakefront property on quiet end of the lake
Our annual family vacation was lots of fun. We shared the house with my sister’s family. We kayaked, swam, and hiked several days. Deck access from bedrooms and living areas with great views from every window. We shared cooking responsibilities in the large kitchen, and slept well on comfortable beds every night. It was a wonderful week away from it all, and I highly recommend this house.

Wonderful house on the lake!
The house was absolutely spectacular. Plenty of room and everyone had their own sleeping space. We appreciate being able to bring our dog, she just loved swimming in the lake. We loved having access to a canoe and kayak. The detailed instructions you had for everything in the house was so great to have. The house had everything we needed! Thanks again for a wonderful stay.

Family Time
This was the perfect family vacation site. As grandparents we wanted ti create fond memori s at a place that offered a peaceful, scenic, safe, and comfortable environment. We found this and more staying at the Waters Edge. Watauga lake is beautiful and we spent hours swimming, kayaking, and lounging on the decks. Our grandchildren dubbed one of the two walkways down to the water as Candy land. There are a lot of steps but we managed just fine by always having an adult or two with a child to ensure safety in navigating the steps and water. The home is equipped with everything you could possibly need. We truly enjoyed our stay and plan to return next year. The highlight of our trip was a furry visitor at 2:00 AM on the last evening of our stay. The outside garbage bins are built and organized well to prevent these creatures from breaking in. He or she ran away when we turned the front porch light on!

Serenity!
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.
