Time Well Wasted at The Retreat at Water's Edge

Trendy yet traditional, Time Well Wasted is the lakeside hideaway where cozy charm meets laid-back luxury. Located in the peaceful Retreat at Water’s Edge, this tiny home offers the perfect space for slowing down and savoring every moment.

Start your day sipping coffee in one of two egg chairs on the screened deck, surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature. When the sun sets, move to the stone patio for a firepit gathering—complete with marshmallows, laughter, and starlit skies.

Inside, the space feels instantly inviting with warm lighting, comfortable furnishings, and a full kitchen stocked for easy meals. Whether you're planning a romantic weekend, solo reset, or unplugged family time, Time Well Wasted is where relaxation is redefined.

Love, love, loved it!

A beautiful, quiet spot with great outdoor spaces and compact, well appointed, and comfortable interiors. All four of us loved it and will be returning as well recommending it to friends! My only regret is that we didn't stay longer!!

Beautiful small house

This house was so beautiful. It is small, but me & my husband had plenty of room. It is a small house. It was very clean. The back porch was huge & completely screened in. I love the hanging egg chairs. It was very relaxing & I loved being their. I would stay there again.

The house was excellent! The coffee maker didn’t work. I called and it was replaced right away. The only concern was the dead trees around the house. They aren’t a problem yet but will be eventually. We had a great time.
