About this property

Lg lakefront family home with a covered dock and jet-ski port! Newly remodeled!

A personal place to relax, play hard, and make great family memories. Great views on the larger part of Tims Ford Lake with multiple decks, patios, and quiet places. Only steps down to the waterside Gazebo, boat dock, and elevated veranda with a gas grill. And for the ambitious, a Wood-Fired Brick oven; is great to have pizza night with the kids and family. For Hygienic concerns: I-WAVE technology in both A/C units reduces viral particles, spores, and dust 24/7. 2 high output ozone machines run between guests for added sterility and safety
From the moment you pull into the circular drive, you may be tempted to sit and relax or explore what's next. The main floor has a spacious fully equipped kitchen where you can prepare a gourmet meal on the double griddle and four-burner stove; cleaning is made easier with two sinks and two dishwashers. Or heat snacks in one of three microwave ovens before a quick and easy fun outing to one of the three marina restaurants. The living room with great lake views has plenty of comfortable lounging for hanging out before and after a busy day.
The basement bedroom is my personal favorite with unique industrial decor, with a queen bed, and a floating queen bunk above, and opens to a semi-private patio The basement also has a ping pong table with seating and a double hoop Basketball game.
The second-floor loft has lake views, a day bed and a pull out trundle bed, and a separate entrance to the second-floor bath. The second-floor bedroom has a queen bed with a private entrance to the bathroom.
The playful fish design railing leads to a third-floor loft with open wood beam ceilings with a hybrid comfortable queen mattress Murphy bed with a separate bathroom. Extra energy?; take a spin on the elliptical exerciser while over-viewing the lake and follow up with a stint in the steam shower.
The master bedroom has a wrap-around deck and great views of the lake. Also has a king-size bed, a double shower/steam room, a free-standing tub, and a double vanity.
The town of historic Lynchburg is only 14 miles away with southern-style shops and restaurants, and Jack Daniels Distillery available for tours. For a unique dining experience Miss Bobo's Boarding House & Restaurant has 2 seatings/day (requires reservations closed Sundays at 931-759-7394) Other Restaurants include Southern Perks, Barrel House BBQ, and Whisky Runners. Hard Dock Cafe' at the Tims Ford Marina offers food and snacks and live entertainment on Saturday evenings during the summer months. Blue Gill Cafe' at Holiday Marina is a full-service restaurant (including all-you-can-eat Cajun boil Wednesday 5-8 pm) that also offers live music on Saturdays. Drafts and Water Crafts at Twin Creeks Marina is the newest bar and grill on the lake with a variety of food and an extensive beverage selection.
Pontoon and boat rentals available at nearby marinas: Tims Ford Power Sports (931) 968-0114, Tims Ford Marina 931-967-9887, Holiday Marina 931-455-3151, Twin Creeks Marina 931-229-4095 (pontoons only). Jet ski rental is available from Canoe the Caney at 800-579-7893
Safety is of great concern, hence the entire house has a sprinkler system, smoke detectors, and available fire extinguishers. There are also 10 various-size life preservers available. It is not a place for unsupervised small children being it is on the lake and there are areas of retainer walls and multiple balconies, and spiral stairs. Enjoy your stay as a guest in our home and be respectful as such.

A Family Favorite
This owner is great to work with and we have enjoyed staying at his property year after year. This property and its location right on the lake is a perfect place for our family. It has wonderful amenities and the right space for all of us. It is the perfect place for swimming, fishing, boating, and family games. Our nephew (age 6) says it is the best week of the year!

Lovely Staycation
I celebrated my birthday over Labor Day weekend with some friends. The house was more than enough space to host a fun weekend and was just so lovely. There were a lot of spiderwebs in the outdoor areas so beware, and I would highly recommend renting out some boating equipment to make the most out of your stay! The owner was incredibly communicate and very friendly. I would definitely stay again!

Great property
Our stay at the home was amazing. When we opened the door the first thing you see is the amazing view of the lake. The home had a ton of space, a ton of beds and a ton of bathrooms. We enjoyed our time using the paddle boats and is only 15mins away from Tim’s ford marina where we rented a boat to go on the lake. We did so many activities, from hanging on the lake, to going to Winchester ( had some great coffee there ) to going to visit the Jack Daniels distillery . It was a ton of fun. Unfortunately we didn’t get to use the pizza oven but that will be used during the next time we visit. We all thought this house was amazing and can’t wait to visit again.!

Kitchen was amazing!
We enjoyed our stay and loved cooking in the amazing kitchen. It was still alittle cool outside so didn’t get to enjoy the lake that much but loved the pizza oven. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars on cleanliness was the floors needed to be mopped and rugs vacuumed and outside furniture was so dirty couldn’t sit on them. The view was wonderful and house was large enough for all of us. We would like to visit again!

Lovely house!
The house is gorgeous and perfect for large groups! We had seven adults, and it was great. It was super clean, and the views are lovely. Make sure to bring shampoo, soap, etc as there wasn't any in the showers. Note that one of the queen beds is in a lofted area on the top floor-not in an enclosed bedroom. The master bathroom is stunning! The kitchen is ideal for cooking with a large group. We loved it! The owner was very responsive and helpful. Please note that one of the next door neighbors gets upset easily over any kind of noise and isn't afraid to let you know. Tread lightly with him. Overall, it's an awesome house. We'd love to return for another stay!

Great indoor/outdoor vacation spot
We had 3 families stay here (6 Adults 4 kids) for Labor Day weekend. The house was clean and had everything you would expect (and more) in a vacation rental home. We could tell that the owner really put a lot of time and effort to make the guests feel comfortable and have everything they need. Communication with the owner was great. The outdoor spaces were probably my favorite with the steam shower a close second :). The kids had a great time jumping off the dock, playing ping pong, and board games. Thanks for the memories! We had a great time!!!

About the host

Hosted by Daniel Skinner

Host profile image
Grew up in my native city of New Orleans. Miss the food and accent. Hard worker. Grateful to have a wonderful family of 5 girls and 1 boy. (Would have had more but ran out of time and prohibitively expensive.) Spent an intense amount of time and energy last 3 1/2 years (finished June 2019) with additions, remodeling, and revamping the lake house after a catastrophic water pipe break on the top floor but I feel the results are awesome and I think you will like and enjoy it if you stay.

Why they chose this property

Often went to Grand-Parents' lake house in New Orleans area while growing up. The smell and sound of the water under the house was memorable. Life-long amazing memories of swimming, boating, fishing, catching lake crabs, exploring, playing games, watching the adults playing cards (often poker), and crab boils with cousins aunts uncles and family were a major drive to acquire a lake home. It's a great location for family gatherings. A nice clean lake, fairly close to my Huntsville residence starting with an empty lot on a convenient part of the lake, and lots of ideas were the many of the reasons behind acquiring this spot.

What makes this property unique

It's a great place for friends, family, and extended family to visit, have fun, relaxation, and excitement all in one place. Actually many places; you could spend the morning hanging out on the gazebo over the water or boating, and the afternoon/evening cooking on the boathouse veranda or swimming, and the night sitting on another patio, or niche, or late grilling on the house back porch. Or just visiting, in the comfortable living room, kitchen dining area. There are many places to have different types of gatherings or just hang out.
