About this property

'Tennessee Tahoe': Tims Ford Lake - Cozy Cabin with Two Level Dock

A great place to relax and enjoy the best that lake life has to offer. This quaint 2-level home is located on a quiet slough, yet convenient to the main channel. A two level dock provides ample room to spread out and enjoy swimming, paddle boarding, sunbathing, fishing, boating, canoeing.
The house is located in a small two cul-de-sac neighborhood with no thru traffic which makes a great setting for walks and biking.
The main living level includes a living area with stone fireplace, kitchen, two bedrooms, a full bath with dual vanities, and a rear deck with porch swings and pub table overlooking the dock and lake.
A spiral staircase leads to the lower level consisting of a den area, bar/fridge, game table, bedroom, bathroom, a nautical themed kid's bunk room with 6 bunks, a small dry sauna, and a rear patio with chaise lounge chairs and grilling area.
The home offers many different areas (living areas, deck, patio, dock) for guests to congregate in smaller groups and enjoy varied activities

Tims Ford Lake is a beautiful deep water lake with many fingers extending in between the surrounding hills. With over 350 miles of shoreline, there are plenty of areas to explore and enjoy the beauty of the lake.
Convenient to Twin Creeks Marina and restaurant - "Drafts and Watercrafts"; accessible by boat or a short drive. They also provide jet ski and pontoon boat rentals.
For boaters, the dock includes a lift and two jet-ski floats. Popular water sports include water skiing, tubing, and wake boarding.
If fishing is a priority for your group, Tim's Ford is well known as a great small-mouth bass and hybrid striped bass lake. Large mouth bass, crappie, and catfish are also plentiful and area marinas provide leads on local guides that can put you on the fish.
If you chose to explore the surrounding area, there are many destinations to choose from, including charming downtown Winchester with shops, restaurants, and The Old Jail Museum; Tims Ford State Park with Bear Trace golfing as well as hiking, biking; Jack Daniels Distillery and Ms Bobo's restaurant in nearby Lynchburg; the Blue Gill Grill at Holiday Marina; Granny Fish's Restaurant in Tullahoma; and endless other intriguing sights.

Other than the trip down to the dock on the path, we loved the stay. Looks like improvements are in the works to solve that.

Fantastic cabin for relaxation for the entire family

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Tennessee Tahoe. The dock and quiet cove were our favorite area. The kids found a love for paddle boarding & it was easy to pull the boat up and dock to get out of the storm. The ongoing updates are visible. It’s a great area for quality family time!

Tennesse paradise

This cottage was everything we could’ve wanted and more! The owners have thought of everything!! Our favorite part was the dock. We spent majority of our stay in the waters off the dock or fishing off the dock. We only left the house once the whole 5 days we were there. The house was very spacious and it was nice having the covered porches when it rained on the last night. We will definitely be returning in the future when we make our way back to Tennessee!

Overall a good stay!

House and dock were very nice. The pathway to get down to the lake was a bit rough and steep. One of the older steps was rotten. Stairs need to be done all the way to the dock with hand rails. House was a little dusty but overall clean. We only were given one extra trash bag and no extra toilet paper or paper towel, we did have to buy those when we got there. Didn’t care for the spiral stair case, very hard for older or larger people to go up and down. Host was very nice and quick to answer any questions. The neighbor next door either used his leaf blower most of the day or pressure washed all day so it wasn’t very quiet. Overall though we had a great family weekend.

As Described

We had a great stay at this property. The pictures are an accurate depiction. It's an older, not updated, house, and I think it is priced accordingly. It was clean inside. There was an issue with the property, which the owner notified us about before we arrived, and everything was taken care of satisfactorily. One of the best parts for us was enjoying the double decker dock. The kids had fun jumping from it, and it was convenient to be able to pull our boat up to it.

WONDERFUL Family Weekend!!

The lake access area at this property was simply amazing! We brought our own paddle board, fishing gear and some float toys. Between those, the amazing dock and water as well as the provided paddle boat and kayak, our family of 10 had more than enough to keep everyone very happily entertained the entire weekend. Wonderful memories made!

Great vacation location. Perfect size for large group!

We had a wonderful time. It was spacious and clean. The only thing I would recommend is enforcing the walkway to the water with stairs the whole way. The stepping stones were uneven and day 1 I twisted my ankle and knee and fell. Wasn't able to go down to the water the whole week.

Amazing Tennessee Tahoe lake house!!

Our family & friends had an Wonderful time at the “Tennessee Tahoe” lake house! The home was cozy and had plenty of room for 2 couples & 4 kids (aged 10-15). The pictures online are accurate. The kids loved the downstairs space with the spiral staircase. The covered back deck was relaxing We loved the boat dock where we could easily park our boat. There were even board games that we could play. The slew where the home is located is very peaceful. Jon, the manager was very helpful and easy to contact & answer questions quickly via email. We will be back.

great vacation place.

House was nice. Kitchen was a little small for multiple people to be in. Access to downstairs from upstairs was not easy for older or bigger people as they have to access downstairs from outside. The path to the dock was kinda hard coming back up as some of the stepping stones are loose.
