Property details

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. Must be at least 25 years of age to book.
