A short walk to the 95-acre neighborhood lake. 2 kayaks, 1 canoe, and 1 paddle board included. Take in lake view sunsets from the comfort of the front porch or from the warmth of the fire pit. Whether you're chasing an outdoor adventure, slowing down to recapture your creative inspiration, or rekindling a relationship . . . find just what you're looking for and watch the Sparks Fly. THE RETREAT AT WATER'S EDGE is a gated resort community in Tracy City, TN. We're partial, but we think it's the best neighborhood in the area! Here's are a few of the amenities this neighborhood offers: NEIGHBORHOOD LAKE: Our cabin is a very short walk to the 95-acre calm water lake. Under our porch we have 2 kayaks, 1 canoe, 1 paddle-board, and several life jackets. You are welcome to use these for free during your stay. If you go out the front door of the cabin and walk to the right down Sunset Ct, there is a spot where the road lowers/ narrows and the lake is closer/ more accessible on either side of the road before you get to those few houses on the peninsula/ cul-de-sac. This area is a good spot to put in for canoeing, kayaking, and paddle boarding. People also fish in the lake as well. NEIGHBORHOOD DOCK: If you walk or drive back towards the main entrance to the neighborhood, there will be a playground on your right. Park there and walk past the playground and there is a boardwalk to a covered dock with Adirondack chairs. It’s a great place to relax by the water. {To head towards playground/ main entrance, turn left off Sunset onto Heron in front of the cabin, and then turn right onto Water’s Edge. The playground will be on your right.} NEIGHBORHOOD FIRE PITS: There are several community fire pits. The closest one is in the cul-de-sac that you can see when looking straight off the front porch. It has orange chairs around it. And it has firewood next to the pit for use. The other pretty cool area is the covered pavilion closest to the main entrance. This one has cafe lights and an actual fireplace and picnic tables. I believe that one should have firewood available as well but I’m not 100% sure. COMING SOON: Neighborhood swimming pool & walking trail around the lake! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Firepit - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - On a lake ### Things to do - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Spelunking nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Property located in a resort - Unit size: 820 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100520000/100513000/100512956/cc995a6d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lake Cove!

Storms caused power outage from 4-11pm which made it even more of a getaway, so we played monopoly by candle and flashlight . Accommodations were perfect. Clean and comfy beds. Used the fire pit the entire time as well. Our host was very responsive and accommodating.Only recommendation is that the cabin needs a grill. Easy fix, we bought a charcoal portable grill and left it for the next renters. ##### Trina O.
