What a lovely property and the perfect stay for a large family! We had a great time and the host is very gracious and accommodating. The home was well stocked and had all of the amenities we could have wanted. We had no issues, but the host was very communicative and I'm confident any issue would have been resolved promptly. I highly recommend this home, as well as any other listings from this host!

Perfect location! Water views, clean & new decor and furnishings! Best place to stay on Tim’s Ford!

Best place to stay on Tim’s Ford Lake! Recommend 110%! Amazing sunset & water views! One of few places with gradual slope to dock w swim ladders! Hosts communication & humble & kindness was stellar! This property provides the most bang for your buck / affordable! Loved use of our boat slip & the boat launch is only 1.9 miles away on same road we turned off of to get to the gorgeous property! Peaceful on decks w water views and sunsets! Loved watching other boaters from dock pull their kids on tubes and wakeboards! Just a 5 min boat or car ride to the newest floating restaurant! The home was decorated like it was out of a magazine!! So fresh, clean and new! It was very well stocked with everything we needed to cook and so convenient! Propane gas grill and fire pits were amazing as most places require guests to bring charcoal! Each of the three levels provided privacy for each family & loved the twin beds in between the master bed and bathroom! The main and lower level both had master bedrooms and baths along with a half bath. All three levels; the main, lower, & large open loft had tables / seating, lounge tv area and sleeping area! Perfect for our multi family and teens! Highly recommend! We will be back! We are grateful to have found this hidden gem as the kind Host had donated the accommodation towards in a benefit for proceeds to a family in needed which we bought! We WILL be back to rent EA side & the additional space over the garage to accommodate our group of 30

This is the second time we have used this property. Once again it is excellent in every way. Our band played at Twin Creek Marina and got to spend the whole weekend at Tims Ford Retreat. Number one is the cleanest of the property. Number two is the location to the lake and Winchester. Number three is the professional way it is managed by the owners. We highly recommend this property for anyone’s stay at Tim’s Ford lake.

Fantastic stay

I can't espouse enough about how great this stay was! The property was fantastic, very clean and laid out great for 2 families with young ones. (The little side bedroom off the 2 masters were the selling point!) We had the boat in the water all weekend, super short drive to the winchester boat ramp and local marina. We fished off the dock and the kids had a blast catching bluegills. Will be staying again!

Making Great Memories

Just want to drop this incredible place for you to keep in mind if you are out-of-towners OR locals wanting to get away and relax on Tims Ford Lake in Winchester, TN. You won’t find this level of luxury on the lake at this price and the manager is super kind and thoughtful and even stops by when in town to make sure it is to your liking. Due to the “Frozen Waterline War 2022” (12/24/22 to be exact) we were displaced and had to find somewhere to have our family for Christmas the next day. This place was so much more than we imagined we could find available on Christmas Eve and the manager even delayed their own personal Christmas festivities to make sure we were able to get in and be comfortable and has even stayed in touch. (Some pics included below) *Fast-forward* Someone in my circle had a recent big birthday and we were able to grab this beautiful place again for the celebration. Yet again, the manager had the place looking stellar and even made sure we knew about the cool updates. ps-Happy Holidays Everyone!

The house was great and has a beautiful view. It is a duplex, but don't let that deter you, we hardly ever saw the people staying on the other side. There was a ton of parking, plenty of beds, and the house smelled great. I only wish the weather would have been a little warmer so we could have enjoyed the deck. We will be back!

Absolutely Amazing

I was truly amazed by this property and the owner (Foresa). We stayed here for almost two months while our house was being built in Lynchburg. The location is absolutely beautiful. The owner has spared no expense in making sure the furniture is comfortable and you have everything that you need as a guest. She truly cares about her property and it shows, which is nice when most owners are only trying to do the bare minimums. She lives close enough that if you need anything she can be right there, although that was never needed. The lake, dock, and outside areas are some of the best views in the area! We would go down with some folding chairs and enjoy the lakeside view often or you could enjoy it from the outside patio. Being at the end of the street, the location is very quiet and private (shared with a few other similar buildings). The value for the price is unmatched! Other locations were only slightly cheaper but did not offer near as many amenities nor did they have the space (over 3,000 sq ft). I would HIGHLY recommend anyone staying here to reach out to Foresa with any questions. She is absolutely amazing! While I am reviewing the “property”, the owner plays a very big part in just how awesome this place is!

Awesome Home and Property

The home was well built, upscale finishes, and very clean offering a ton of space. The proximity to the Lake was a key benefit and the ability to use the community dock makes it special. The area was safe and well taken care of, with close proximity to town. The only item to consider is that the home is NOT "waterfront" as you would typically think, although only a short walk down to the lake. It is really a Lake view home which we were a little disappointed to learn when we arrived based on reading the description. There are also two sides to the home with one side having the lake views and decks, and the other to the land side. Make sure and ask which side when reserving. All that said, we would stay here again and highly recommend it.

Excellent Location, Spacious, and Great Communication

We enjoyed our stay and are already talking about "next". This home is located on a great part of the lake with easy access to Twin Creeks Marina (a 5-minute ride), an easy walk to the boat dock, and the slip came with the rental so we were able to park the boat when not in use. This community was super friendly and the unit was clean and spacious. The owner was great to answer any questions we had right away and even came over at 10:30pm when we requested more blankets! Great place! Thank you!

A little piece of Paradise

Very private gated mini subdivision on Tims Ford Lake. The wall of music history is most interesting spanning every genre, rumor has it the property was going to be purchased by Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert back in the day as a musicians writing retreat. Aquaholics is a most befitting name, the lake is most relaxing and Draft's and Watercrafts Marina and restaurant is a short boat ride away. All new décor including beds, very comfortable. Will definitely book again.
