Our shoreline deck and private dock is easily accessible by a stairway. With room for family or friends, this home offers a private dock on the lake for all of your water sports activities, Only minutes by land or water from Tim's Ford Marina and Tim's Ford State Park and Jack Nicholas' designed Bear Trace golf course.

This room is equipped with a 50" TV, queen size sleeper sofa, twin rollaway bed, refrigerator, Keurig and microwave.

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!

We absolutely loved everything about our stay. It was the perfect setup for the teens to gang in the basement. We rented the pontoon boat which was super convenient. We had a great time and can’t wait to return!

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.

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.

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!

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 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!

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.

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!
