About this property

Entire place

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

LAKE FRONT WITH DOCK ! NO STAIRS TO REACH WATER! FAMILIES LOVE IT! SO WILL YOU!

The best thing about this house is it doesn’t have 1000 stairs down to the water. It’s as close as you can get to the waters Edge. This home is located in a Prime location and in my opinion the best location on Watauga Lake. Just 15 minutes to Mountain City with grocery shopping at the local Food Lion and many great restaraunts. Just a 5 minute drive to a Dollar General as well. 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. The boat rentals are shared between properties so ask first thing after you book.
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 systems. 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 100 mbps

STARLINK WIFI.

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 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.

Another great summer vacation by the lake

This is our third time renting Water's Edge and as always our family had a great time! We rarely revisit short term rentals but we love coming back here as Brenda and Tim are great hosts and the lake keeps us cool when we can no longer bear the summer heat.

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.
