This was our third time staying at the property. Foresa is always so responsive and goes to great lengths to make sure our stay is great. I love the updates to the furnishings since our last stay…it was great before and now that much better. The common space/game room down by the lake was new this year and was a nice add for a break from the sun. Access to the boat slip and location on the lake continues to be a huge plus! As usual, we had a great stay and plan to be back next summer!

The property was beautifully decorated and perfect for our group. The close proximity to the lake and the use of the boat dock was exactly what we needed to entertain a group of teenagers for the weekend. We also utilized the golf cart for moving coolers and other items to and from the dock, which was very helpful. The owner was wonderful to work with and was onsite within minutes to assist with a question that I had. I highly recommend this property and plan to stay there again in the future.

We stayed at the lake house to not really boat, but just have a nice place to stay that was quiet, relaxing and clean while we celebrated a family birthday. The property owner was the most responsive that I have ever had and I greatly appreciated the fact she went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Also, the lake house was very clean. I usually clean every place I ever stay at from top to bottom before I start my stay and I didn’t have to do that here. I was so incredibly impressed with how clean and well appointed the lake house was especially given its size. I highly recommend this lake house. They are great hosts.

Another wonderful stay!

This was our second year staying at this property and look forward to coming back again and again. Can’t beat the accommodations and easy access to the lake. We bring our boat so super huge plus to have a boat slip and the location on the lake is superb…nice and quiet spots for water sports or just cruising around. We made some minor recommendations after our stay last year and the owner made those changes which only took an already great stay to the next level this year. Can’t miss on this property!

Excellent rental for a large group

These 2 properties worked out perfectly for our family and freinds to hang out at the lake and enjoy the lake life. Our group of 18 all felt right at home in tbe really upscale homes. It was very clean,comfortable, and had all of the items available that a group of vacationers would need. It was really nice to have a boat slip available just steps away from the home. The fishing, scenery, and accommodations were all great. Id love a vacation like this again soon!

I loved sitting on the deck looking at the beautiful lake view! Enjoyed the lower patio swings and rockers while watching boats go by & was especially nice at sunset. Gorgeous peaceful property. House was extremely clean, neat and organized & had everything we needed for our stay! Close to town! Hosts are superb! Great communication and very helpful when needed! Thank you! Had links to restaurants & things to do! Loved the large shower and soaking tub and several TVs.

About the host

Hosted by Tims Ford Lake Retreats Music Row

Host profile image
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.
