Beautiful views of lake. Great dock for our boat. Kids really enjoyed the pad and board. Location is near Twin Creeks Marina for easy access to public boat launch. You're able to walk to downtown Winchetser, ice cream shoppe, restaurants, movie theaters. The owner Christie was very responsive. The stairs to the pier are a bit exhausting climbing back up with all your gear. But so worth it to be able to enjoy Tim's Ford.
Our stay at this house was wonderful! It was very clean, stocked with essentials in the kitchen and bathrooms. It was very close to the wedding we were attending and great access to the lake! The owner was so kind, and responded quickly when I had questions before booking.
Had such a great stay here. Owner was very responsive to any questions we had. They went above and beyond with the amenities provided. Location was great, lake access was on point, and we just really enjoyed every moment of our stay! Thanks for the memories!
We loved staying in Winchester - a charming town with all of the necessities. Mostly, we sat on the back porch and enjoyed the views of water, trees, wildlife and boats passing by. A very pleasant stay; thank you.
We absolutely loved our stay in Winchester. The house had everything we needed and more! The large deck and expansive outdoor seating areas were perfect for enjoying the beautiful views and fall weather. The bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and there was plenty of living space to move around and relax. We would love to come back.
House was clean and perfect for our two day stay. We would love to come back and enjoy the dock next time. Appreciate them allowing our dog to come as well.
Our weekend visit was wonderful, but too short. The "lake house" was a perfect option. There was more than enough room and exceeded our expectations. We would be happy to stay again if we repeat our plans.
Roomy house with well appointed kitchen. Location was ideal. Winchester offered anything else we could need nearby. Rest, relaxation on the floating dock. Canoeing and stand-up paddle board a plus. Most enjoyable visit.
Christy was great to communicate with. The home was in an awesome location with the water access. We loved fishing off the dock and canoeing around. Thank you!
We had a great stay at this lovely property overlooking the lake. We enjoyed the quaint historic Winchester, Tim’s Ford Lake State Park, and Jack Daniel distillery all close by. The property was clean, well situated for exploring, and great for families! The highlight of each day was coffee on the beautiful porch listening to the birds and enioying the view of the lake.
We had a relaxing time, and wish the weather would have cooperated. The house has wonderful views out of the back of the property. The house had everything we needed, and a few sweet surprises.
Everything went extremely smooth great communication from the owner, seamless check-in, and the property and view was even better than the pictures. It was a great stay over New Year’s (we wanted quiet and peaceful) we also had several well behaved four-legged furry friends with us and the property was very pet-friendly they and we really felt at home. I would book this again.
Christy quickly responded to my questions before we booked and the pictures of the house are accurate. Cozy and clean, everything you could possibly need to cook and a grocery store right down the street. Our girls loved all the games that were available and spent quite a bit of time in the hammock. We had a great time.!
We are Californians here visiting our daughter and her husband who live outside of Nashville. A lake house seemed the perfect choice and a great way to wind down summer! House was perfect! Well equipped in every way - both inside and outside. Great kitchen for cooking, areas to eat both inside and out, comfy beds, lots of games. Great dock with lots of lake toys. Christy (owner) was very responsive to each question. Will stay again for sure!!
Great spot. Our family stayed over a long weekend and wished we could’ve stayed even longer. Comfortable home stocked with supplies. Loved using the fire pit in the evenings. The dock was great. We used the lily pads and enjoyed the warm water right there.
There’s a beach near the marina that’s only about a 10 minute drive away. We didn’t go there, but did rent a boat for the day. Very nice!
A great trip that made us all want a lakefront home. But it’s great to have a nice comfy rental instead!!!
Enjoyed a long weekend conveniently located on the water of Tims Ford but within walking distance of the Winchester square. Lots of nearby options for recreation and food!
