Lakeside Family Escape-Modern log home in secluded cove w/pvt. dock, Sleeps 12 | House in Lynchburg

Unwind at our remodeled log cabin, an ideal lakeside escape nestled above a tranquil cove on Tims Ford Lake. This expansive 5-bedroom, 3-bath retreat offers 2 spacious decks, stylish interiors, modern appliances, and game room. Enjoy a swim and fish off our private dock. Explore the stunning cove views in one our kayaks. Hike, bike or play a round of golf nearby. Rent a jet ski or a boat; dock at our private slip. Relax on one of the cozy porch swings with breathtaking lake views.
While the front door welcomes you inside, most of your time will likely be spent outdoors on one of the two expansive decks, where you can sit, swing, dine, or simply soak in the natural beauty of the lake and surrounding woods. It’s the perfect spot to connect with nature—and each other.
Inside, you’ll find a beautiful 2,600-square-foot cabin that blends rustic charm with modern elegance. The home features stylish LVP flooring, cozy rugs, contemporary furnishings, and high-end appliances. The main floor is an open-concept space, combining the living room, dining area, and kitchen into one inviting gathering space. Large windows in the dining area offer sweeping views of the lake, and the kitchen is fully equipped with marble countertops, new cookware, silverware, a smart fridge, a dishwasher, and a Keurig coffee maker. The island, with six bar stools, is perfect for family meals or casual hangouts. Cozy up in the living area with plush couches and matching recliners, and enjoy music via our portable 50-watt speaker or watch a movie on the 55" LG OLED TV.
The main floor also features the “Lake Room” owner’s suite, complete with a king-size bed, breathtaking lake views, a desk, a 43" Roku Smart TV, and an attached private bathroom. Across the hall is the “Little Waders” bunk room, offering a lake view and easy access to a full bathroom.
For longer stays, you'll appreciate the convenience of our brand-new washer and dryer, located in the utility room on the main floor. In this room, you’ll also find a pack-n-play/crib, highchair and booster for your baby or toddler.
Downstairs, a beautiful spiral staircase leads to three more bedrooms and a second living area. This space is ideal for movie nights on the 55" Roku Smart TV, listening to music on the second 50-watt speaker, or simply enjoying the view of the lake. The “Bird Room” is perfect for kids or friends, with twin-over-full bunks and a pull-out trundle, plus access to a full bathroom with a rain shower and double vanity.
Next, the “Tree Room” offers a cozy queen-size bed and a modern desk, while the “Paddle Room” features a charming black-and-white theme with a queen-size bed. For added flexibility, the downstairs futon and ottoman convert to additional sleeping spaces for up to three guests.
Be sure to check out our dedicated game area, complete with a ping-pong table and a tabletop arcade featuring over 60 classic games like Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Frogger, and Donkey Kong.
Our cabin is an ideal getaway for multi-generational families, wedding parties, or anyone looking to unplug, unwind, reconnect and make memories. We can’t wait to welcome you!
WINTER DRY LAKEBED EXPERIENCE
Our daughter and nephew recommend you visit us from November through March for our winter dry lakebed experience (or mostly dry) when the TVA's Tims Ford Dam slowly starts to dry up our portion of the lake. Kids (and even some adults) will love getting a little muddy and crossing to the other side of the lake where more adventure awaits. Afterward, cozy up to our firepit overlooking the lake. The exact dates of this experience vary slightly each year.
SWIMMING
The swimming season typically runs from late May-September. The water is typically 10-15 feet deep off of the dock during this season, but please wear a lifejacket at all times. Various adult and child sizes are provided, as well as two infant jackets.
KAYAKS
We provide 6 kayas for your enjoyment, including a mix of sit-in and sit-on. We also have a fun tandem one, to double your enjoyment.
LOST CREEK BOAT RAMP
For those of you bringing your own boat, Lost Creek Boat Ramp is just 10 minutes away by road and 2-3 minutes by boat (our cove is about 1 mile long). From this boat ramp, you will take a right to arrive at our home. Just be sure your boat will fit through the causeway tunnel. It's a tight squeeze, but fishing boats and some ski boats can make it through (may require some skilled driving though). As long as your boat can fit through the 9' 6" causeway, you should be ok. If not, no worries...you'll be able to enjoy your boat of any size all along the rest of Tims Ford Lake on the other side of the causeway.
Feel free to park your boat trailer here overnight, as the park is monitored Tims Ford State Park Rangers.
MARINAS
1. Lakeview Marina (1439 Tims Ford Dr, Winchester, TN 37398)-We recently rented a pontoon boat from here; it's just 11 miles away from our retreat, located inside Tims Ford State Park. They offer a large fleet of rental boats, premium non-ethanol fuel, a launch ramp, dock, quick eats, and an ice cream shop. You can also rent paddleboards, and kayaks (we have kayaks too). As I mentioned above, the pontoon boat wouldn't make it through the causeway, but fun was still had on the main part of the lake.
2. Tim's Ford Marina (175 Marina Lane, Winchester, TN 37398)-This is another option close by (10 miles away). They provide boat slips and pontoon boats as well. You may also park your boat trailer free. You can enter up until 10PM, with gates opening up again at 6AM.
WEATHER
Tennessee is a four-season state, with very warm summers and one or two snowfalls in winter.
WILDLIFE
Being in a secluded area of Tennessee, expect to spot some wildlife (including snakes). Depending on where you are, you may see bobcats, bears, red-and-gray foxes, coyotes, elk, deer, and snakes.
WIFI
While super high-speed wifi is not available in this remote location, you should be able to stream movies and music with no problem using our Viasat 2.4G internet service. You might experience problems when a storm hits and/or when you lose power, but a modem reset should do the trick.
BABY/TODDLER EQUIPMENT
A pack-n-play, highchair, and booster seat are provided as well as a sheet for the pack-n-play
FIREPIT
You'll love enjoying the firepit overlooking the lake. We provide four chairs, lighters, and a starter pack of firewood. Feel free to bring additional chairs. If you're feeling in the mood for s'mores, we also provide you with roasting sticks.
GRILL
You'll love using our new gas grill found on the front deck which also includes a side burner.
PEDAL BOAT
Until our dock is extended to include a boat slip, our pedal boat is not officially available. However, if you'd really like to use it and feel confident that you can lift it carefully in and out of the water, flip it over to drain water after use, and store it as you found it, then feel free to enjoy it during your stay.
FLOATING MAT
While this is primarily at the house for owner's use, we are happy to share this as well with guests who desire a more relaxed activity.
