About this property

On the water with Dock & Great Location

Great cabin located directly on Tims Ford Lake. Cabin has been updated and includes nice, well stocked kitchen as well as a deck (with grill). Enjoy our dock - fish, swim and use our two kayaks, paddle board and a canoe. Plenty of space to tie your boat up to our dock in a mostly private cove. Please read the guest access section for more details on lake access.

Cabin is two stories. One bedroom with queen bed down and another bedroom upstairs with two twins and one double. Kitchen, bath, nice den (with sleeper sofa) and dining area and a nice deck with table and chairs and a gas grill. Stack washer and dryer in home. Kitchen has side by side refrigerator w/Ice & water, dishwasher, and range. Please note - The fireplace is electric.

Tims Ford is known for its small mouth bass fishing. Good fishing from our dock as well (bring your own poles and gear).

You will have dock access to use our dock with a covered boat slip. Besides the slip, there is plenty of room to tie up a second boat or Jet Ski. The dock has an open deck area (about 18' x 8') for sunning, fishing and hanging out. There is also two covered areas (about 4' x 20 each'). We have a table, chairs (8) and umbrella for your use. Great swimming off the dock (there is a ladder) . From the cabin, the view of the lake is blocked by tree's in the summer but pretty open in the winter. NOTE - Our dock is down a relatively steep hill with a paved path (first 100 yards or so) and then less steep mulched path (about 50 yards or so). There are no steps. You are welcome to use our two kayaks, canoe and paddle board (paddles supplied but please bring your own life jackets - WE DO NOT PROVIDE LIFE JACKETS - Life jackets are a TN state law and are required to use our canoe, kayaks or paddle board). There is a public boat ramp about 5 minutes away if you bring your boat.

From the cabin, the view of the lake is blocked by tree's in the summer but pretty open in the winter.

Our home is conveniently located 10 minutes from Winchester, TN. Winchester offers grocery stores and a Walmart, along with several restaurant choices. We are close to Jack Daniels Distillery, Tims Ford Sate Park Golf, the Caverns , hiking and many other attractions.

Not bad place to stay

Was off the beaten path. Nice but the neighbors was walking all over the property. Didn’t like that aspect.

pleasant stay

I was a nice cozy cabin with everything we needed. The water access was much steeper than I expected. It was nice that it was partly paved and then mulched the rest of the way, but the climb back up the drive was rough. More pictures of this would be helpful to others (the reason for my 4 stars). Instead of the dock area, I enjoyed the back porch and the view while my guys were out for the day. Beautiful and quiet neighborhood.

This property is exactly as shown. The house is older but everything you want in a lake house. Super clean and comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed. Loved being able to kayak every day and use the boat dock when we rented a boat. Owner was great to work with

Great place to stay

The house was just the right size for our family. We have 3 young kids ages 7,7,9. They loved being able to have their own space upstairs. We took our dog with us & it was the perfect place for him to be able to have some freedom to explore. The dock was private with great swimming. It also had a nice spot for catching bluegill. It had the feel of being remote but close enough to town for a Walmart run or a DoorDash dinner delivery. We really enjoyed our vacation here.

Peaceful getaway!

Had a wonderful stay at this property! The cabin is simple but clean and has the things needed to make the stay as enjoyable as possible! It's a steep walk to the dock, but once there, there are toys (paddle board, canoe, 2 kayaks) and a nice covered slip for a boat. The dock is wide enough to fish, swim or tie up another boat if desired. The cove is quiet and clean with only a few other docks inside. Lots of birds to watch and other wildlife to see. Absolutely loved everything about this property!

It was too chilly for us to fish. It would be a great summertime getaway. Lots of games and internet if you are stranded inside. We had a very relaxing weekend. The cabin was very well laid out with a cute kids loft.

Lake stay

House was quaint, but location was not too good. Path to dock was steep and slick when wet. A lot of poison ivy around path and house which I got. Wood steps and walk way to house very slick when wet. Wife slipped and received bad cut on leg. Dock was nice.

Weekend event

Stayed at cabin for weekend event in Belvidere. All the conveniences of home plus a nice dock with a few toys. Great quiet location. Didn’t get to fish as much as we had hoped, but the owners binder had information for everything around town, food, groceries, entertainment, and even a lake/fishing map. Owner definitely took time to set up property well for guests, even labeling switches and printing signs for various objects/tasks. Would definitely stay again.

A Good Time Away

The cabin on Tim’s Ford was just what we wanted for a time away from our world while keeping an important part of that world with us, our two dogs. We were secluded when we wanted to be, but close enough to enjoy Winchester and all it had to offer, especially the city park where we exercised the dogs and I got to fish! We were very pleased!

Nice long weekend fishing trip

Property and cabin were nice. Beds were comfortable. Cabin had everything we needed. Pictures were accurate. Owner was responsive regarding check-in times. Only negative is that we could not open the gate to the boat launch. The private dock for our boat was the main reason we booked this property. There were nearby boat launches we were able to use and still enjoyed our trip.

Very Peaceful and Beautiful

We had a very nice time. The place was clean, comfortable and relaxing. We did not utilize the dock, but the fire pit was wonderful. The area is extremely beautiful. The homes are very nice and not close. We barely ever saw anyone. The hosts always answered us quickly, the few times contacted them.

We truly enjoyed our stay at this cabin! Checkin and checkout was a very easy process. The host was quick to respond to a question we had before our stay. The place was very clean and had all the essentials to make our stay comfortable. The Dock with the canoe and kayaks was also very nice to have access too. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back.

About the host

Hosted by Andy Saul

Host profile image
Laura and I purchased the cabin when our kids were two and four. We outgrew it a few years ago and built a larger home on the lake in the same neighborhood. We used the cabin as a guest house until 2018 when we decided to share this great experience on Tims Ford lake with others. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Our guests say we have thought of everything.

What makes this property unique

Great little cabin in the woods, directly on Tims Ford lake in a very private cove. Enjoy the use of our two kayaks, canoe and paddle board. We supply the paddles, but please bring your own life jackets if you plan to do lake activities. Wearing life jackets is the law when boating on the lake. Bring your fishing gear and fish from the dock, canoe or your boat. Our neighborhood has a boat ramp and locked parking lot to store your trailer. You will have access to our dock to fish, sun and hang out.
