We booked this location to bring together our sons and their families. It was raining the entirety of our stay but we had plenty of room for all of us to play games and just get together with plenty of seating. We enjoyed our stay.

Lake paradise

Wanted to get away for the weekend with my family before having spinal surgery in a few days. This home was absolutely, spectacular! There were lots of steps down to the water so we all got a workout but was well worth the view. We plan on making this lake house a yearly tradition as long as it is available. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Relaxing Space

We had a wonderful time with our family. The home was very well appointed and decorated very nicely. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you could think of or might need for cooking. The dock has a very nice area with lounge chairs and there was no wake in the cove, perfect for swimming and floating. The screen porch is a very comfy place to hang out. We had a very relaxing day and did not want to leave this beautiful home.

July 4th Weekend

Hickory Hideaway was the perfect place for our family gathering over the 4th of July. With 3 adult children and their wives, it was great to find a home with enough bedrooms that all had king or queen beds! This home is as beautiful as all the picture show. We had plenty of room to gather around the dining room table and sit in comfort in the living to talk, play games and sharing our special time together. This home is truly a gem.

Back for the 3rd time

My family and I have stayed 3 times at the lake house over the past 2 years. The home is consistently clean. The host is quick to respond and very accommodating! One of our favorite things about The Hickory Hideaway is the open floor plan, wonderful lake view, and well stocked kitchen. We plan to return!

Fantastic Family Time

This is the 2nd year we have stayed in this lake home for Thanksgiving. The place is so well stocked, clean and cozy. The open living room lay out allows for the perfect family atmosphere. Fireplace on, games being played, cooking in the kitchen. The host is easy to communicate with and very accommodating. I can’t say enough good things! It’s also conveniently located, close to Winchester. We are looking forward to staying again in just a few weeks.

Great Lakefront House

Perfect location and setup for our family of 5. Owners were very easy to contact if we needed anything. Loved the screened in front porch and spent a lot of time there. The dock has a full covered slip for the boat, and we were able to use the kayak and paddle board and other floatables. Overall, the property is wonderful and has a perfect lakehouse vibe for our family.

Great spot!

We really enjoyed our stay and particularly the boat during our time. Place was clean and well stocked. Tim was easily accessible for any issues. Only complaint is that the 4th bedroom is not accessible from inside the house (have to go on the deck and outside to access) so didn’t work with our group of young kids. Otherwise, we loved it and will definitely be back!

A Wonderful Lake House

Our family (parents, adult children and their spouses) gathered at Tims Ford Lake at Hickory Hideaway (midway point for most of us) just to enjoy the wonderful atmosphere and each other's company. We worked in some distilleries on the Tennessee Whiskey Trail, too. What fun! The house has everything needed for a memorable time: screened in porch with wonderful bed swing, decks, dock, kayaks, games, etc. Would do it all over again - and may! Tim is a fantastic host who is available when needed.

We stayed here with another family and our teenage daughters and boyfriends. This home is beautifully decorated and fully appointed with everything you could ever need!! We loved that the boys could stay separately from the girls in the efficiency apartment/ 4th bedroom.the screened porch was fully appointed so game night was fully accommodated.the home is a cozy well stocked with EVERYTHING YOU COULD EVER WANT or NEED. And the owner, Tim, was so responsive and friendly! We will definitely be back!!!

Beautiful setting. The cleaning company the owner hired needs to inspect after they clean. Found food and dirt under the furniture, Cobb webs, the ceiling fans had an inch of dust on them. The bath tub in the second bedroom was not clean. Overall great stay.

As advertised!

We enjoyed our stay at this beautifully re-modeled and decorated family lake house. It was just what we needed. The swing on the covered porch was fantastic! The fall foliage on the lake was beautiful this time of year. We appreciated how close we were to the state park. We had a slight hiccup with the entry code not working; owner got a remote notice about a wrong code entered and called me before we could even find his number. Talk about responsive!

Even better than pictured

Had a wonderful stay! From the minute you walk in, you see a very luxurious, but casual and comfy home. Beautiful fireplace. Open floor plan. Wall of glass looks out onto screened in porch which has an amazing swing and overlooks the lake.. the screened in porch gives a second seating area for meals and relaxation. Rented the pontoon boat, which is what sold us on the property because it’s so convenient. You can take it out for an early morning fishing trip, come back and relax, go back out in the afternoon and even go back out in the evening. So convenient, which made it so much easier and more likely for us to spend the time out on the lake. Also has kayaks and inner tube to pull behind the pontoon boat. How much easier could it get? You could swim off the dock, although we did not do that because we spent most of our time out on the lake in the boat. Only negatives are what you see in the listing, which is the fourth bedroom has an exterior entrance. We did not use that bedroom with its sleeper sofa. Just be aware with any lake house, there are many stairs going down to the lake. Even though the stairs have a handrail, It is still quite a hike down to the lake. We plan to make this an annual trip. Exceeded our expectations. Wonderful much needed getaway.
