This was a perfect weekend getaway in nature. If you’re wanting a dog friendly tiny home that’s modern and efficient, in a community where you don’t feel isolated yet you still have your own space, and has tons of trails and hiking and waterfalls nearby, this is your spot. Beautiful scenic setting and i think every home had their own outdoor fire pit. The posted maps of the community on signs were a little confusing. I wish we would’ve taken a photo of the map at one of the posted signs upon arrival, bc there was no pamphlets or copies of the map of the grounds inside the cabin home. We had trouble finding the “kayak rental station”. And didn’t see much info on how to rent a kayak or the operating hours, prices, phone number to call for it etc in the booking description. Also, note that the “community pool” as displayed on the property posted maps doesn’t exist- at least not yet. I believe this community is relatively new. Overall it’s really nice and has 2 public docks to fish, a community covered pavilion, and a community playground and a trail that encircles the property. The cabin itself was pretty clean on the inside- the things that matter most like the shower, sheets, and towels appeared spotless which is a huge plus. One of the metal loops holding one of the cables of the outside fence appeared to be rusted/broken and would've been dangerous if we had little kids or something the way it was lying on the deck by the patio table. Overall, definitely would book again!!

Cute tiny home! We've been wanting to stay at the Retreat at Water's Edge for a while, and finally found time to go- it did not disappoint! The community is nice with walking trails, docks, and firepits. The home had GREAT water pressure and ample hot water, which was a huge plus. The space is well-appointed and has all the things you need while traveling. Being able to bring our furry friends is a huge plus for us. Host was easy to work with, and very responsive. We will stay again!
