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.

All the comforts of home!
We had a great visit and enjoyed some early fall colors while kayaking on the lake. Really appreciate the fully stocked kitchen; we made birthday cake for one of our family members, and Hickory Hideaway had all the pans we needed. My family just adores the covered porch and bed swing; it is big enough for our whole family! Only wish we could have stayed longer… but we’ll 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.

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!

What a beautiful place to spend time with four generations of our family. We had some rain and cooler temperatures, but the house itself is so welcoming that we didn’t care when we couldn’t be on the water. We will absolutely stay here again.

Thanksgiving on the lake
The Hickory Hideaway is a beautiful, comfortable, quaint lake house. My family and I enjoyed spending our Thanksgiving on the lake. The kitchen is very well stocked and the open floor plan made the home wonderful for family time. Tim was easy to get ahold of when we had any questions. Will definitely visit again!

Beautiful home on a beautiful lake
This home was perfect for our family. There were so many areas to sit and visit; whether we were in the living room by the fireplace, the dining room table or on the screened in porch every area was so comfortable and cozy! The porch swing was a big hit!! This home so many amenities and we really appreciated them - cordless phone chargers to the blue tooth speakers! We absolutely loved the pontoon boat. Our family has a lake home on Lake Delhi in Iowa, however, we don't have a pontoon and we loved touring and exploring the lake on the pontoon. The dock was amazing and so peaceful. We took the SUP for a spin a few days and floated by a heron perched on a tree. We also drove to Winchester and explored the town and enjoyed the restaurants there. Our kids really loved visiting from Nashville and want to make it a tradition. We would love to come back next year! Thank you!

Warm and cozy lake get away
We had an amazing get away, and enjoyed the house and the lake immensely. When we arrived we were all in awe of how nice the house was and said it's so much more then what we expected and the pictures show. We were pleasantly surprised by the upgrades to the kitchen table, table on porch and completion of the downstairs. We made sure we reached out to let Tim know we were so excited. The house is warm and cozy, inviting and so very comfortable. there was plenty of areas to sit, relax, and enjoy. The decorating is superb and very homey. The swing bed on the porch was definitely a favorite! The porch was a fun place to hang out when the temperatures were cooler, we were able to eat 1 dinner out there and had a couple games nights. The porch and dock are lit up with lights which gives it all that much more warmth. The house was fully stocked with all the necessities you need, including your basic spices, toilet paper, pots pans, tupperware, towels, bedding which was great not to have to pack all that. We rented the boat for the week and we were out on it everyday most of the day and every night for sunset, so worth the rental. It was awesome that Tim and his wife let us use their water skis, and tube to pull behind the boat, our family had a blast. The lake was spectacular, so clean warm and fun. It is a huge lake and not a lot of boat traffic so you could enjoy the water sports. There are three marina restaurants you could go to by boat our favorite was Twin Creeks. We explored a lot of the lake , enjoyed looking at all the pretty homes and coves. Found a few rope swings for the kids to swing on. Every night a short boat ride out of the cove and to the left was the perfect spot to view the sunset, so beautiful. We absolutely loved this house, the lake, and our vacation, we will definitely be back again. Tim is great to work with always very responsive. Thanks!

Great location, home, and host!
Couldn't have asked for better. Great home with all we needed in the home and on the water. Our family and my cousin's family enjoyed it immensely. Plenty of room in the house, the cove was quiet and wide with no houses on one side (plenty of room for floating, kayaking, paddleboarding), wonderful dock to hang out on, and we even found a rope swing just across from the cove that was super fun for the kids. Tim was an incredible host and very responsive. Would absolutely stay here again. We also rented their pontoon boat and enjoyed tubing, skiing, hanging out on the lake, and heading to dinner at two of the marina's in it. Rent Hickory Hideaway...you won't regret it.

Great Stay At Hideaway
What an awesome home! This is our third year to Tim's Ford and hands down the best home we've stayed in. Spacious, clean, lots of items to use like coffee maker, pots & pans, toaster, etc. so we could cook at home a few times. The screened in porch is excellent for enjoying the outdoors without tons of critters joining you. Tim was an excellent communicator from day one and was even sure to text me while there to let me know which marinas had cheaper gas for the boat. We loved it and were sad to leave.

Pure relaxation
Our family thoroughly enjoyed the Hickory Hideaway. The property is situated on a nice quiet cove of Tims Ford Lake with easy access to the lake by boat. The property was clean and well maintained. The owner had great communication with us even during our stay to make sure everything was okay. Our kids enjoyed catching the small fish right off the pier as there are plenty of them. We did rent the owners pontoon and it also was clean and well maintained. There are plenty of kayaks and floats to use as well. If you are looking for a relaxing place to get away, Hickory Hideaway is that place.
