Something for everyone! The host has thought of everything you need for a perfect vacation from boats and life jackets for all ages, sand toys for the kids. The house is stocked with everything you need for the week and they even have a charging station for all your gadgets. Thank you for a great week!

Thank you for staying with us. So glad you and your family enjoyed your time at Water's Edge Retreat!
This was our 5th year in a row staying here (around Labor Day) and it’s always so lovely. We (usually 8 adults and a handful of kids) enjoy morning coffee/breakfast on the large screened-in porch, playing down at the beach, kayaking (the water was so clear this time we spent a while watching turtles running along then lakebed far below us). Nights are clear and quiet. House has everything you’d need for a vacation weekend (we long since got used to bringing our own linens, etc and there’s something to be said about sleeping in your own sheets!). Easy communication with owners. Look forward to returning next year!

We always enjoy hosting your family. Thank you for being such wonderful guests. We are so glad to hear you had another wonderful visit and even got to hang out with the turtles :)
The house was clean and had a great layout, the host was incredibly responsive, and waking up each morning to see deer or turkey in the yard was a nice way to start.

Thank you so much for staying with us. Glad you got to experience the natural beauty of this area. We hope you visit again soon.
We had a wonderful stay! Great place, great location, and just an all-around great time. The house is in a quiet, peaceful setting and was exactly as shown in the pictures and described in the listing. It really felt like a place where we could relax and enjoy our time away.The hosts were wonderful and very easy to reach if we needed anything. We actually never needed to contact them about the house because everything was just right, but I did have a question about the area and they got back to me remarkably quickly. That kind of responsiveness is always appreciated.The house had everything we needed, including a fully equipped kitchen, good water pressure, and plenty of hot water. (That might sound like a funny thing to mention, but after staying at two other places that didn't have hot water, I can tell you it definitely matters!)We really enjoyed our stay and would happily come back. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable, quiet, and relaxing getaway. We hope to stay here again!
