Room for everyone!
The home is spacious, and was very clean. We traveled with 2 adults and 3 teens. There was plently of cooking gear in the kitchen for making big meals, which we always do. The beds were comfortbale- there are so many beds in this house I lost count! Two big couches, lots of room for everyone to spread out. A wonderful screened in porch area. Upper and lower level decks were beautiful. Plenty of hot water. Some big flatheads in that cove, fishing right off the dock. They like garlic and red koolaid hotdogs best. I needed to contact the owners, simply due to spring at the lake the hot tub needed cleaned, and they responded right away and fixed the problem immediatly. We come down a few times a year, and this will now be our go to rental each time. This home would def be big enough for bigger groups! Oh, and a wii and plenty of board games too! 5 stars on this one for sure!

Great family get away!
We had a great time! The owners are so nice and very accommodating! One of my favorite things about this place....my daughter is a gourmet cook and she travels with some of her cooking supplies. The kitchen at Jackson's Retreat was so well stocked with everything she needed that she did not have to break out her own cookware.

Quiet Break on the Lake
We travelled with family for a party nearby. The home was beautiful and well stocked. We had direct contact with the owners who were kind and welcoming. We felt like we were staying at a friend’s home. The neighborhood was quiet and the wildlife (while noisy at night) were plentiful. Beautiful families of deer and fawns visited nightly. They had experienced some damage to the docks with recent storms (which they notified us about). It didn’t affect our stay but we appreciated the heads up! When visiting the area in the future we would definitely consider staying again.

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca Jackson

Host profile image
Hi everyone! I'm Rebecca and I'm originally from Southern Illinois, born and raised on a farm until I moved to Tennessee.

I have lived in Tennessee since 2010 with my husband Dan and finished raising our five children here. I am a business owner and insurance agent and have used VRBO for our family travels for several years

I absolutely love to travel with my husband and family. We have a large close-knit family and we have traveled together to many destinations nationally and internationally. I would say my favorite trips have been in our camper to the Keys, and then there was the time we flew to Seattle and hiked across Canada and the northern states. I love the city and countryside especially those not so often traveled out-of-the-way places that aren’t always obvious to the typical tourist.

I love taking care of the needs of my guests by offering a respite for you that is relaxing, adventurous, and carefree.

I can't wait to "meet" you! I’ll do my best to make your stay comfortable and help you enjoy this awesome lake trip to the fullest! Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions regarding my listing.

Why they chose this property

Tim's Ford Lake has phenomenal views, many places to explore close by, and is located close to Chatanooga and not too far from Nashville for a lovely weekend stay for a couple or even your extended family.

What makes this property unique

We love that Jackson Cove is in a quiet neighborhood, not too far from town, right on the lake, but in a cove and not on the main boat way. There are 4 marinas on Tim's Ford that can meet every need a guest would have for boating, fishing, rentals, entertainment, gas, and food supplies.
We keep our home stocked with many basics: soaps, cleaners, paper goods, garbage bags, storage bags, wraps, coffee, spices, and condiments so our guests don't have to.
