Pictures don't do it justice!

We had a fantastic stay at the cabin, the entire trip we all remarked how beautiful the view was and how nice the cabin felt. Everything was well stocked, clean, and had clear instructions. We grilled out every night and there were plenty of places to hang out throughout the property. Would definitely stay again!

Relaxing family vacation

We had a wonderful time in Butler at this beautiful lake house. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed as we were away from home. The lake is amazing, a perfect place to relax, unwind, and reconnect with family.

Lake Living!

Great property - perfect for a long weekend on the lake. Would go back. The big plus/minus is Butler is pretty remote. Not too far from Johnson City or Boone, but it will take some time if you are planning to include those places in your itenary. We watched football - played in the lake all weekend and it was fabulous!

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 Cabin !

We have stayed here before, and it suits our family perfect. Three levels so there is plenty of room to spread out. Two refrigerators will make your day much easier to manage. The cove does not have a current like a lot of them. Swimming off the dock is perfect even with a 25ft pontoon boat attached. We will be back next year!

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.

Great place!

Great place in a stunning location! Loved kayaking, fishing, and just relaxing with old friends. House and amenities were as described and host was very responsive. Likely due to nearby post disaster work, Internet went out a couple of times and power went out briefly. Remote location with no cell service from most carriers. However, TMobile had a strong signal, so we were able to stream football games via hot spot! We will definitely look to book this home again in the future.

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!

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!

High end comfort, reasonably priced.

This is an excellent place to stay, and it is in all respects what it is advertised to be. The property suffers somewhat from a lack of regular attention -- although this may be because it was the off season. Most of the accoutrements are what you would expect from a mid-range, budget-conscious place to stay, while others (including the pool table and the boats) clearly are more in the "luxury stay" category. In particular it should be noted that the HVAC system is in excellent repair and is perfectly suited to a residence this large. This is not a trivial matter and should not be discounted.

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.

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!

Family gettaway to lake in the mountains

The property was beautiful and right on the end of a quiet inlet on Wattauga Lake as described. My husband and I took 90 year old (but mobile) grandma, and son's family with our 4 year-old granddaughter. The very steep and multiple steps did prove challenging for my mom, so keep that in mind when booking. The main floor great room was beautiful with a wellstocked kitchen and comfortable furniture. My son and his family really enjoyed the kingsize bed in the master bedroom. However, the Queen bedroom located off the loft has no bathroom on that floor, and it stayed quite warm up there while we visited, so my husband and I wound up sleeping in the twin beds in the lower level while my 90 year old mom slept in the other lower level bedroom. The floating dock is wonderful and we were able to bring our boat from a nearby free boatlaunch. Swimming off the dock was lovely. The provided canoe and kayaks were fun, but one of the sit inside kayaks had a small split in the bottom of the bow, and the sit-on-top kayak was missing a stopper-- which allowed water to get inside. Hopefully these issues will have been fixed by the host, but check before launching. Overall, we had a wonderful time and the area has lots of outdoor fun things to do.

Beautiful house, relaxing area

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.
