Waterfront Home in Picturesque Community
Welcome to Waters Edge Retreat!
Waters Edge Retreat is a 5BR/3.5BA waterfront home located in a picturesque gated log cabin community in Jefferson, NC. Blue Ridge relaxation at its finest awaits you!
Step into your mountain cabin with an open floor plan overlooking a pastoral view of the pond. The stone fireplace is the centerpiece of the cozy living area, right beside your well-outfitted kitchen and dining space, including a Keurig coffee maker (just bring your own pods). Open the double doors to access the large, private back deck with abundant outdoor seating, a gas grill, and a hot tub that can accommodate seven people.
The main level includes a half bath and the master bedroom, equipped with a king bed and an ensuite bathroom with jetted tub. Upstairs you will find two additional king bedrooms with a shared bath. One of these king bedrooms has a twin pull-out chair with a memory foam mattress.
Bring your game face as you enter the entertainment room downstairs! Your group will enjoy the pool table, along with an ample supply of board games and puzzles. You can also test your skills on the Xbox in the fantastic home theater area, complete with surround sound and plenty of comfy seating. The projection TV is the best way to watch a DVD, and you can prepare your movie snacks with the mini-fridge and microwave. Downstairs, you will also find a queen bedroom and bunk room with trundle beds and a shared bath.
Right outside your front door, take in the view of the peaceful pond on one of the covered porches. Relax in a rocking chair, the porch swing, or hammock- take your pick! Build a bonfire in the fire pit, walk down to the private dock, take a dip in the pond, or bring your fishing gear. The pond is regularly stocked with fish, including bass, that you can catch and release. There is parking for four (4) or more cars.
Located right outside the gates of the log cabin community, Waters Edge Retreat is less than a mile from the New River State Park Wagoner Road access. Enjoy hiking trails, fishing, a canoe and kayak launch, and picnic and shelter areas. Zaloo's Canoes, Kayaks and Tubes is nearby if your group wants to explore the New River. Less than 15 minutes away from Jefferson Landing Golf Course, Mount Jefferson State Park, and the Blue Ridge Parkway, your nearby adventures are endless. Slow things down with a stroll through downtown West Jefferson, and enjoy local flair and fantastic food. Whether you are looking for peace and relaxation or an exciting High Country experience, Waters Edge Retreat is sure to meet all of your vacation needs!
Note: the fireplaces are equipped with electric inserts- they are not wood burning. The nearby gazebo belongs to the neighbor and is off-limits to guests.

We always have a family vacation at the beach, but this year we decided to give the mountains a try. The grandkids had an awesome time fishing, swimming and tubing. In fact, they all want to do it again next year! This was a great house and location for a family vacation.
The listing pictures don’t do it justice. It is a stunning property-incredibly beautiful. The house is roomy and designed for people to spread out comfortably to enjoy privacy or togetherness.
Those in our group of 15 (ages 4-70) enjoyed so many things without driving anywhere including: morning coffee on the porch, swimming, fishing, quiet walks, nature watching (deer & turkeys), campfire moments, family meals, games, movies, and the hot tub. We brought kayaks, noodles and a big tube with us that were also well used in the pond.
The nearby town of West Jefferson is charming. There we enjoyed a local restaurant, Ashe County Cheese, shopping, and even a trolley ride to a gorgeous winery.
Staying here afforded our family time for deep connection, and gave us all wonderful memories!
Loved every bit of our stay! Such a great house with everything needed and the pond was a great bonus! Quiet and peaceful, and allowed us to relax after our days of missions work. Very impressed by everything and would definitely come back again!
We had a great experience with 14 of us in our party. Their are a lot of fish in the pond that kept us really busy. Some bass, bluegill, turtles, frogs...a good variety. The home owners association really keeps up this area. The house has many amenities to keep you busy. You can go tubing at Zaloos right down the road. The only thing I can knock it for is that it could have been a little cleaner when showing up and they need a couple more large trash cans for guests.
I loved the log cabin and the gated neighborhood! The place was as calm and peaceful as you could want. The porch was filled with rocking chairs and a swing! You could fish, get in hot tub, watch the deer and other wildlife, grill out or have a fire in the fire pit. Close by was great shopping, eating, or renting kayaks. We love it!
This property is amazing and has activities for all ages. The pond, firepit, grill, jacuzzi and basement are fantastic. Rooms are great size.
Poor cleanliness through out the property. Outside sitting not well maintained, no toilet paper or kitchen paper towels or garbage bags, tiny dish soap. Additional blankets not clean. We expected more for the price range for this amazing property.
We all had an amazing time relaxing at this property. We used the projector screen to watch playoff hockey and play video games. It was a very short drive to float the river. Plenty of room for everyone.
We rented this house for a family wedding. Great location to many area activities. A bit tricky to find but the house was great and met our various needs. Would rent again.
So overall the home is fantastic and we had a great time and the pictures and description are very accurate to what you get. My issue is that when we arrived there was trash all around the house. 8 or so bags of trash sitting around the property (animals had gotten into a few bags) and then just beer cans, bottles, glasses, boxes, etc. all around the place. I'm not sure how this place was deemed ready for the next guests with all of this trash. We called immediately upon arrival and followed up with an email and pictures requesting someone come ASAP to get rid of the trash. I was told someone would be in touch with me but never heard from anyone and no one ever got the trash over the 4 days we were there. We ended up cleaning up some of it as it smelled and we were getting tired of seeing it and left a lot of the other stuff.
I was really shocked that this issue would not have been immediately resolved as this isn't just some small nit-picky kind of complaint.
So anyway, we enjoyed the home but had to take a star for leaving the trash and had to take a star for not quickly resolving the problem. Would have easily been 5 stars had it not been for those two things.
This was one of our best VRBO experiences yet. Everything was as described and incredibly clean. Will definitely stay again.

Loved it
We loved the cabin. We enjoyed our stay.
The only suggestions: we couldn't find a corkscrew, blackouts in the bedrooms.
Thanks! We will stay again!

Waters Edge Retreat Christmas Vacation
The house was absolutely awesome!! Had so much to do and keep yourself busy and having fun. The location was not easy to find at first as GPS throws you off but we were able to find it after getting lost at first. It is super crucial to drive in all wheel drive vehicles during the winter as the exit of the house has a few steep hills and we got stuck on one of them. Luckily a staff member from Carolina Cabin Rentals helped us get out of that mess. Overall great experience, the only negative comments I have is the place could have been cleaned a little better for arrival as it had a ton of cobwebs and dirt on area rugs. Also the trash situation is not convenient for guests as there are 3 trash barrels to put garbage in for a house that sleeps 15 and we stayed for a week so we had tons of garbage we couldn't put in the bins. Luckily we had a great customer service member named Tim tell us that we can leave the extra garbage in the house as they would take care of it and didn't require us to drop it off at a drop site that was 25mins away. Extra garbage barrels need to be added for this size house and it should always be the case that extra trash can be left at the property because tourists that don't know the area and travel during winter/snowy season can put themselves in a predicament like we were. But overall the place was great, thank you!!

Perfect!
This house was perfect for our vacation. We booked this house because it had everything, just what we needed for a pandemic-era vacation. Kitchen is well stocked, plenty of towels, clean and comfortable. The weather was absolutely awful while we were there, but we made the best of it. We did a lot of fishing off the dock (catch and release). My daughter was thrilled when she pulled out a large bass! We will be back for sure!
