    We booked Tims Ford Bliss for my son’s 26th birthday, and it quickly became one of our favorite weekends away ever! The house is spotless, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you could need—from spices and oils to shampoo, detergent, and more. We loved it so much we grilled out both nights instead of going out to eat.The property sits right on Tims Ford Lake with a dock, little beach area, paddle boards, and an inflatable kayak—perfect for my “kids” ages 20–26. Boat and jet ski rentals are also nearby.We ventured out a bit too: Tullahoma (30 minutes away) for the Sundrop Shoppe and the Sherlocked escape room at Axescape (so fun!), and Lynchburg (25 minutes away) for shopping on the square (stop by Honey Bunny to meet Oscar!), lunch at Barrel House BBQ, and the Jack Daniel’s Distillery tour.This is easily one of my top rentals, a solid 5 stars, and we’ll 100% be back. At just over an hour from home, it’s the perfect weekend escape!

    We had a fantastic family Thanksgiving week here! The house was impeccably clean, well equipped with all you need indoors and out. The beds so comfy and the linens very soft-it definitely felt like a home away from home! The views of the lake are beautiful, and we really enjoyed the deer we could see through the windows/from the balcony. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it as your vacation destination!

    Beautiful property with a great view of the lake. Exceptionally clean and well equipped with everything you need for your stay. So peaceful and quiet. Saw lots of wildlife, deer, foxes, etc. Close to all the activities we wanted to do; Tim’s Ford state park and Lynchburg. Winchester had a cute square and nice eating places and the coffee shop was excellent. Ty, the property manager was friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable of the area. Would certainly go back again.

    The house was exactly what we needed for two families. Kids hung out downstairs and adults had peace and quiet upstairs. The views from the deck at sunset are spectacular. The lake was quiet so we had plenty of time and space to teach the kids how to wake board. Plenty of toys provided by the owner. We saw deer every day! We would definitely come back!
