Our Sweet Little Piece of Tennessee
Welcome to our charming lake house! Outside, you’ll be greeted by the perfect blend of rustic elegance and the loveliest lake views. Whether you’re sipping morning coffee or enjoying a crackling fire at night, our screened-in patio offers a perfect place of peace. Adjacent to the patio, there’s an uncovered gathering space - complete with a fire pit, and perfect for roasting marshmallows and making memories with loved ones. Take some time to relax in our breezeway rocking chairs and catch a beautiful sunset while reflecting on life’s sweet, still moments.
Fishing enthusiasts can cast their lines in the water right from our property. Take our kayaks out for a fun adventure on the lake. Challenge your family and friends to a game of basketball on our small court, or have some friendly competitions with spike ball, corn hole, and ping-pong.
Inside, our home offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. Each room is tastefully furnished, providing a comfortable space to rest and rejuvenate after a day of lakeside fun. Our living area is cozy, complete with a fireplace for those moments when you want to curl up with a good book or dive into deep conversations. Our fully-equipped kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances, making meal preparation effortless.
For some good old-fashioned family fun, gather around the table for a family game night. From classic favorites to modern strategy games, there's something for everyone in our collection. Pop some popcorn and make it a night to remember! Then, retreat and unwind in our tranquil bedrooms.
Additionally, there are plenty of nearby attractions to explore. Rock Creek Boat Ramp is just minutes from our house, making it convenient for you to put your boat in the water and enjoy a day on the lake. The three nearby marinas also offer boat rentals and a delightful dining experience right on the lake. Tims Ford State Park is a mere 15 minutes away. There, you can set out on scenic hiking trails, surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. Bear Trace at Tims Ford is a Jack Nicholas designed golf course situated on a peninsula surrounded by the lake. And downtown Winchester will welcome you with its adorable shops and small-town restaurants. Finally, for a taste of Tennessee history, the famous Jack Daniel's Distillery is less than a 30-minute drive. Enjoy informative tours and samplings.
We invite you to come experience our sweet little piece of Tennessee! This is our special place, and on the days we can't be here, we want to share with you an opportunity for an unforgettable getaway on Tims Ford Lake!

Excellent Host and Home
Wonderful home and the host had a nice basket of snacks and some drinks ready for us. Home is newer with a well stocked kitchen (appliances and pots/pans etc) and a nice back porch and yard. There isn't a dock on the lake but we were able to get the kayaks (included in the homes toy garage) down into the water well enough and that part of the lake is pretty quiet and calm. Would like to visit again for more than just 2 nights next time. Great experience.

A beautiful place, a beautiful life
I booked this beautiful home to have a place to bring family and friends together for my Mother’s memorial service. Leslie went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. The house is well-appointed with every amenity needed to enjoy the lake. Thank you! I strongly recommend this beautiful property.

Underwhelmed
The photos of the home are gorgeous and it is obvious that the home owners really work to provide extra special touches to make it a good experience for guests (lots of coffee options, a personalized snack basket, toiletries in the bathrooms). However, such a beautiful home with some details absent really misses the mark, especially for the total cost of staying only 4 nights. Their are three bedrooms upstairs with one tiny bathroom. I feel that was a big oversight and could be described more in the listing. The beds are also described in the listing, but no king sized beds is also a big miss. Those previous thinfs can definitely be overlooked and still would enjoy that stay, but two things were really deal breakers and would make it a one time stay for us: one, a very nice (but small) house ON the lake with awful lake access. I will say the owners are definitely upfront that there is no dock, but the access is truly insane. Basically a very steep cliff with rocks and shrubs. Not a great way to get into the water at all, let alone fish. It’s very unsafe even for those that are in shape and athletic. A dock would be ideal, but even a path, or some type of stairs to help with the insane cliff. The other thing that was not thought out at all was the detached ‘boat house’ or garage with a ping pong table was about 110 degrees, no AC, no fan, nothing, yet a nice place to have the family get together if it were maybe 80 degrees? Also owners stuff all over with little notes. Lock up

Lakeside Perfection
From the moment that I reached out to Leslie about her and her husband’s home after finding out our original house booking was a scam, she and her husband were simply amazing! From asking us about our family, to finding out what treats we enjoy, to making sure all my questions were answered. We were greeted by Leslie and her husband when we showed up slightly early and they took the time to come over and welcome us, and to letting us know the washing machine had an error code and sent a video promptly on how to easily bypass it. When we walked in to their beautiful home we were greeted with a welcome sign, to our favorite treats and a gift basket. How amazing is that?! The house was fully stocked with everything you need and the cleanest home I have ever rented. The property on the lake was beautiful! We had the best vacation and it truly was a “Lakeside Perfection” I highly highly recommend this house! Thank you a million times over Leslie and Josh! You two are amazing owners!

Wonderful Time
This was truly one of the nicest experiences we have had. We stayed here for my son’s 16th birthday to spend time with family. The host had cupcakes and a happy birthday sign. This was the cleanest/fully stocked home we have stayed in. Our family had fun kayaking and relaxing. Really great time!

Wonderful Spring Break Trip!
We had a wonderful time in this adorable lake home on Tims Ford Lake. The owners were very quick to respond to any questions we had about anything. The screened in porch with the fire place was such a cozy spot for reading. We enjoyed s’mores by the fire pit outside and when it was chilly, I loved having the gas fire inside. This house has lots of kayaks, water floats, life vests, fishing equipment, and bikes to use! It was so convenient to not have to travel with them or rent them. The boys loved the ping pong table and the basketball court, too! We all enjoyed playing corn hole in the yard. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you could possibly need. The house was the perfect size for our family. We have been to many, many VRBOs over the years and have never had such personalized treatment from the snack baskets to the dinner basket and all the supplies needed for a week away. Wow! I’m so glad we chose this charming home and these fantastic hosts for our Spring Break 2024!

A beautiful home on an amazing lake
We took our grown children and new granddaughter to stay at the lake house on Tim Ford’s lake. The house was beautifully decorated, clean, and stocked with everything we needed to spend the week on the lake. We used the kayaks, bicycles, and basketball court everyday. Much fun was had trying to beat the high score on the Pac-Man game. The screened in porch was perfect for relaxing outdoors without the bugs. The only drawback was that the house was so new that they haven’t had a chance to build a dock yet. That will make it perfect! We would highly recommend staying here. We hated to leave!

Paradise in Estill Springs
The property was perfect for my family that is very active. We particularly enjoyed the screened in back porch, patio with fire pit, & the game garage with ping pong table & all things sports related. The kayaks were fun, except the chiggers on the way to the water! The big 8 person kitchen table afforded a place to play Sassy UNO. The basketball court & cornhole game were hits!
