The house was so cozy and comfortable! It had everything we needed and more! The lake view was beautiful and we tried to fish off the dock as well! Didn’t really catch anything but a few tiny bluegill. Fire pit was so cozy and a great addition to our stay.

Comfortable lakehouse away from it all!

We loved staying in Winchester - a charming town with all of the necessities. Mostly, we sat on the back porch and enjoyed the views of water, trees, wildlife and boats passing by. A very pleasant stay; thank you.

Great spot on Tims Ford Lake

Lovely place right on lake, as described. Very comfortable beds, wonderful furnishings, dining room and deck look over lake. The town was quaint and Twin Creek Marina had great rentals for pontoon and paddleboards. Tims Ford Jetski great service. A wonderful stay.

Wonderful & Relaxing weekend.

We absolutely loved our stay in Winchester. The house had everything we needed and more! The large deck and expansive outdoor seating areas were perfect for enjoying the beautiful views and fall weather. The bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and there was plenty of living space to move around and relax. We would love to come back.

Our weekend visit was wonderful, but too short. The "lake house" was a perfect option. There was more than enough room and exceeded our expectations. We would be happy to stay again if we repeat our plans.

Beautiful views of lake. Great dock for our boat. Kids really enjoyed the pad and board. Location is near Twin Creeks Marina for easy access to public boat launch. You're able to walk to downtown Winchetser, ice cream shoppe, restaurants, movie theaters. The owner Christie was very responsive. The stairs to the pier are a bit exhausting climbing back up with all your gear. But so worth it to be able to enjoy Tim's Ford.

Spring Break

We had a great stay at this lovely property overlooking the lake. We enjoyed the quaint historic Winchester, Tim’s Ford Lake State Park, and Jack Daniel distillery all close by. The property was clean, well situated for exploring, and great for families! The highlight of each day was coffee on the beautiful porch listening to the birds and enioying the view of the lake.
