Great family getaway

13 members of our family spent the week after Christmas at this beautiful house on Tims Ford Lake. It was equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals, comfortable beds, large spaces for us all to gather. We enjoyed the game room (pool table, ping pong, shuffleboard). There is an awesome view of the lake and lots of outdoor seating. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Barbra Mullaney

Host profile image
We are a Tennessee family of six who have loved the Tims Ford Lake community for many years. We enjoy hiking, boating, and spending time outdoors together, and we purchased this home as a place to gather with family and friends — a peaceful retreat to unwind after busy weeks at school and work.

Why they chose this property

We chose this quiet, established lakefront neighborhood for its natural beauty, friendly community feel, and private docks. It offers the perfect balance of serenity and convenience — close to the state park, marinas, and dining, yet tucked away enough to truly relax.

What makes this property unique

What makes this home special to us is how it invites connection. The wrap-around porch, the two-story windows in the great room, and the sweeping lake views create a space where conversations linger and sunsets feel unforgettable. Our newest addition, the cedar gazebo, has quickly become a favorite spot for morning coffee and evening gatherings.

From sunrise on the dock to game nights downstairs, this home was designed to be a gathering place — one where memories are made and shared. It is truly a joy and privilege to open our lake home to others who value time together and the beauty of the outdoors.
