Clean, comfortable, peaceful, special lake retreat. Amazing value for this lovely lake house, it is truly a rare find... located right on the lake, feels tucked away from it all but nearby everything. This lakefront home is well maintained, clean, great care is taken for the guests... all with four proper bedrooms (no bunks), incredible lake views, tons of outdoor living space, and your own private dock!

The Bliss house is beautiful and was perfect for our family. The upstairs and downstairs patios were lovely and we watched beautiful sunrises and sunsets and a stunning lightning show! The kitchen is well stocked and had everything we needed! We so appreciated the extra touches like soap and shampoo and conditioner in the bathrooms and extra garbage bags! So thoughtful. The only hard part about the house is the walk down to the dock and back up to the house. It’s very steep in one section and was difficult for us to go back and forth to the house from the lake. We drove our things down and picked them up when needed. Wished we could have left the car down near the dock. Other than that it was a great experience.

Thanks for your fantastic 5 star review! We are thrilled to hear about your fabulous vacation at Tims Ford Bliss Lake House. The views in the morning evenings are really beautiful and some of the very best on the lake! We try our best to provide our guests a special experience with extra touches and fun experiences too so we are happy you appreciated them ;). The driveway to the dock is very rare and special on this lake as most homes have so many stairs to get down the lake. With our driveway our guests are permitted to drive and park their car lakeside until they are ready to drive back up which makes everything so nice and easy! Glad you all had a fantastic time together we look forward to you staying with us again next year!
