Inside, the home includes a fully equipped kitchen with double oven, coffee maker, blender, Crockpot, air fryer, dishware, and cooking basics. Additional conveniences include free Wi-Fi, central A/C, linens, towels, in-unit washer and dryer, keyless entry, ceiling fans, hair dryer, and flat iron. Roku TVs are located throughout the home for added comfort and entertainment.
Sleeping arrangements for the front unit include:
Main-level primary bedroom: 1 king bed and 1 twin bed
Lower-level primary suite: 1 king bed and 1 twin bed
Third-floor loft: 2 queen beds and 2 twin beds
The property is close to Twin Creeks Marina, Drafts and Watercrafts, and other Tim’s Ford area attractions, with convenient access to boating, fishing, skiing, tubing, hiking, Lynchburg, Sewanee, and Monteagle.

About the host
Hosted by Tims Ford Lake Retreats Music Row
We are local short-term rental owners and lifelong Franklin County residents who have called Winchester and Tim’s Ford home for decades. We live just minutes from the property, which allows us to respond quickly if questions arise or anything needs attention during your stay. These units are personally checked by the owners at check-in and check-out rather than being left entirely to third-party management, which helps us maintain a higher standard of cleanliness, condition, and guest readiness. We want guests to enjoy the lake, the home, and the area with confidence, and we work hard to keep the property well cared for and accurately represented. Depending on timing and availability, long-term and corporate stays may also be available at discounted rates.
Why they chose this property
We chose this location because it offers the best combination of lake access, convenience, and setting. The property is in a gated Tim’s Ford community that is close to town by both land and water, while still giving guests easy access to the lake, marina areas, and waterfront restaurants. Guests enjoy convenient access to the dock and boat slips, along with the benefit of being only a short drive from Winchester amenities and area attractions. If you plan to bring a boat or other watercraft, please contact us before booking so we can confirm whether a slip is available and whether it will accommodate your setup. Slip availability can vary based on owner use, guest use, and occasional family use, so advance communication is important.
What makes this property unique
This property is well suited for larger family or group stays and offers the kind of flexibility that is hard to find in one lake rental. The unit features two primary bedrooms, each with a king bed, plus a large open loft with four additional beds, allowing the space to sleep up to 12 guests. If additional space is needed, we also have an adjoining unit listed separately, and when both are available, a discounted rate may be possible for booking both together, subject to availability and additional utility, linen, and cleaning costs associated with dual occupancy.
The property also offers generous indoor and outdoor gathering space, including multiple seating areas inside, upper and lower outdoor deck seating, a firepit area, chaise loungers, and additional outdoor seating designed for group enjoyment. Overnight pontoon rentals may also be available on site through a third-party provider for an additional cost. For guests bringing their own boat, dock coordination is important, and we ask that you inquire before booking so slip availability and pontoon placement can be confirmed in advance if needed.
