We had a wonderful time at this house by the lake. It was comfortable, clean, and pleasantly furnished. The screened-in porch was very nice, and lake access for our kayaks was easy. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Lovely stay in this not-so-tiny house while we were visiting the area for a concert at the Caverns! Host was very responsive, house was beautiful and well-stocked. We felt very well taken care of while we were here with lots of thoughtful extras. The outdoor spaces were amazing and very much enjoyed by the family.

Wonderful Relaxing Stay

This was our first time at Waters Edge and we were not disappointed. The best spot in the neighborhood! We enjoyed a quiet stay right on the water. Enjoyed the screened in porch, it was so peaceful and beautiful! Very clean and comfortable place to getaway. The neighborhood was perfect for taking daily walks. We did enjoy the fire pit! Great place if your looking for a nice getaway.

Beautiful Lake View

Enjoyed sitting on deck and watching the sunset. Beautiful home in a peaceful neighborhood. Clean and comfortable. We were close enough to Chattanooga to enjoy a day trip, but far enough away to have the peace of the country in the evenings. We ate dinner one night in Monteagle at High Point, definitely worth the drive. We would definitely stay here again.

Relaxing Weekend

We really enjoyed this rental. The location is great! There is plenty of room and still retains the tiny house feel. The kitchen pantry is stocked with coffee and necessary condiments. They have quality appliances. The screened in porch is great! It is clean and well kept. Check-in was easy and flawless. My 6 yr old caught several fish and they had a good selection of board games.

Beautiful Mountain Getaway Close to Nashville with a Lake View

We loved our Waters Edge experience! The house was perfectly appointed, close to our favorite hike Fiery Gizzard and just what we were looking for in a weekend away. In under two hours we were able to be on the mountain overlooking the peaceful lake. There are a couple of new restaurants in Suwanee ,about 15 min away that were fantastic, Both Lumiere and Lunch were delicious options if you do not feel like cooking in. The beds were comfy, the showers were super hot, the kitchen had all the necessities plus nice extra touches. Perfect convenient getaway!

Our stay at this charming home on the lake was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed with how clean and well-kept the property was. Every detail had been thoughtfully prepared — from the clear, well-organized instructions to the stocked kitchen that allowed us to prepare our own meals with ease. The bed was comfortable, making it easy to unwind after a day of exploring.The owners (or management team) even took the time to check in with us during our stay, ensuring we had everything we needed to make our weekend perfect — such a thoughtful touch.The neighborhood was peaceful, the view was absolutely beautiful, and the whole setting created exactly the relaxing atmosphere we were looking for. The nearby little town was a delightful bonus, complete with a fantastic bakery that’s been in operation since the early 1800s — a must-visit!We left feeling refreshed and already know we’ll be back. We highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and welcoming getaway spot.

Love The Retreat and Teacher's Lounge - Will go back!

First, great community/development on a beautiful lake. We cannot wait to go back to this area again. Great spot to get away from Nashville for my wife and I, and so much wonderful hiking the area. We paddleboarded on multiple days on he lake and loved it. Second, this house has one of the best locations on the lake. Steps from the water, with great views off the back deck. We loved how the space flowed from the inside living area, to the screened in porch, to the deck, to the firepit area, to the water. We used all these spaces are various times and enjoyed them all. The house is in great shape, very clean, decently stocked kitchen, very comfortable beds, great layout for how small the space is (doesn't feel small), and all the appliances worked great. The grill could use an upgrade but we still got it to work well enough on two nights and we appreciate that the owner provides the propane. There was also plenty of firewood. We will for sure be back to Teacher's Lounge!

What a Beautiful House!

I loved my stay! Very clean and comfortable. There were a few ants in the kitchen but it didn't bother me much and had been treated by pest control. Location right by the lake was perfect. The whole community was quite lovely and inviting. My little issue was the lack of kitchen knives for cutting fruits and veggies. There were a couple tiny knives and a bread knife, but nothing like a chef's knife. No peeler either. Maybe I just missed it?? I made due but those seem like regular kitchen items that are needed. Other than that, everything was superb. I really enjoyed the screened in porch a lot as well.
