The Retreat at Water's Edge
Lakeside tiny homes nestled in the Tennessee mountains. Wake up to golden light on glassy water, fall asleep to crickets and starlight.
Small homes. Big living.
The Retreat at Water's Edge is a community of thoughtfully designed tiny homes in Tracy City, Tennessee just 75 minutes from Nashville. Each cabin has its own personality, from the Dolly Parton themed sparkle of The Dolly House to the purpose driven heart of Adventurer. What they share is lake access, mountain views, and the kind of quiet that makes you forget your phone exists. Fish, kayak, hike South Cumberland State Park, or simply sit on the dock and watch the sunset turn the water amber and rose.
