Great
We were in town for a funeral and although the occasion was very sad, the accommodations weren't. Great location, very clean and well appointed. We had everything we needed. Would like to rebook when the occasion is happier and the weather is warmer.

Mom & Sisters Annual Get Together
My three sisters and our mom stayed at Water's Edge Retreat for three nights. We get together every September for a few days and this year celebrated our sister's 60th Birthday! It was the perfect location. Just a few miles from town and the privacy we were looking for. The cabin is super cute, clean & cozy with everything you need.....plus more. It was perfect for mom with no stairs and a nice level backyard space and view of the lake. We have already booked again for next year. Brandon was great and very responsive to answer our questions and accommodate us. 5+ stars and a huge thank you to our Host!

Better than the Pictures!
Owner communicates well, the location is fantastic, everything you need is well stocked! Easy to get to, literally on the water, lots of water toys to play with, weed roller keeps section right out front clean so brought our own camping chairs to sit in the water. Quiet neighborhood, fire pit is lovely, the screened in porch is delightful. Can’t say enough good things about this place! We were two adult couples in town for a wedding and we were all shocked at how nice everything was - definitely better than the pictures online!

Relaxing week
We had a nice week. The house was great! It was a very quiet location, which we really enjoyed. We caught quite a few fish off the dock and the kids enjoyed the kayaks and swimming. The owner was very easy to get in touch with for any questions.
