Fall Openings!! Lakefront Getaway with Dock on Tims Ford Lake!!!

"Serenity at the Lake" gives you the peace you've been looking for to escape and relax. The house is nestled in the woods in a peaceful cul-de-sac with a view of big water that is gorgeous. The renovated lake house has rustic décor that is simple and welcoming. The 4 bedrooms have queen beds, with one having a full bottom bunk and a twin top bunk. Of the 3 bathrooms, two have single showers and the third has a standard size tub shower. The home features Wi-Fi, Roku TV, an open kitchen and dining room, and two levels of spacious covered porches. There is a TV in the main level living room and an open downstairs TV room with a large sectional couch.

The lake house has a one slip dock. The single slip boat dock is equipped with a boat lift that routinely lifts 2000 lbs. Directions for use are on the lift console. Tim’s
Ford Marina and Tim’s Ford State Park are the nearest boat launch areas.
You can park up to four vehicles at the top of the driveway and two at the house.

If you are looking for additional entertainment, you can rent a boat during your stay from the nearby marina, take a walk in the neighborhood, or explore Tims Ford State Park, which has miles of unpaved hiking and bike trails. You can also visit the Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course at Bear Trace, take a short drive to Lynchburg, TN, and visit Jack Daniels Distillery, or even take an hour and a half trip to visit Chattanooga or Nashville!

During the fall, visit the pumpkin patch at Granddaddy's Farm! Less than ten minutes from the lake house, Granddaddy's Farm is opens September 21, 2024 through the end of October. Eat at the farm, shop at the market, enjoy the hay rides and corn mazes. So much to do just minutes away!

And if you want to take a hike on a trail to a beautiful falls, don’t forget to check out Machine Falls in the Short Springs State Natural Area in Tullahoma!

For those visiting in the winter months, Tims Ford water levels are lowered 8-10 ft, and this means our floating dock is 100% out of the water during the winter.

AMAZING HOUSE. KIDS LOVED THE DOCK/WATER
We had so much fun at this property. Kids loved hanging out downstairs and at the dock we brought our own kayaks and fishing poles. Rented a boat for the day pulled right up to the house. Lots of space for everyone. Beautiful deck off back enjoyed eating outside. Great location in the woods!

Better pictures
The house itself was lovely. The cliff down to the lake was horrible. Some members of our group were unable to go down to the water. The upstairs bedroom has no curtains and the sky light made it unusable. The bugs were horrible on the deck not to mention the smell of raw sewage. For the amount we paid per night for this rental we were very disappointed.

Great House, Host, and Setting to Relax
The name to this lakehouse is apropos. It truly is serenity at the lake. We surprised our kids with a fall break trip to Tims Ford Lake and they have voted that this was their favorite vacation. Our host welcomed us with thoughtful and generous hospitality. I had mentioned that we would be fishing on our trip, and he thoughtfully left us a can of corn to use. When he found out that we had young children, he suggested that we visit Granddaddy's Farm which was just down the road. That turned out to be great fun for all of us. The house had books, puzzles, an air hockey table, and LEGO! The dock was convenient for us to pull up the boat that we had rented. The sunsets were gorgeous, especially when gazing across the lake from the dock. With the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it was so nice to be in such a beautiful setting to enjoy family time and to relax. We would strongly recommend a stay at Serenity at the Lake. We'll be planning our next trip there soon.

We loved it.
This property was perfect for our family with the different levels, two living areas, and two large, lovely decks. It was just as advertised or even better: clean, well-stocked, plenty of room, and a great dock. The owner was wonderfully responsive. We will stay here again.

Family Vacation
This was the perfect vacation rental for my family. The house was clean and big enough for our family of 8 to stretch out and relax. The property was beautiful. The lake and dock were only a short walk away and the neighborhood was quiet. The owners were responsive and kind. I would absolutely recommend this property.

Had a great time with friends at this house. The outside deck was great and where we had all of our meals. The walk down to the dock was easy and the walk back up was not as bad as I expected. We ended up loading the coolers in the truck and taking them over to the launch and loading them on the boat rather than trying to carry them down and back up. Since the launch is so close it was easy! Would recommend staying here.

Summer Getaway
The property was perfect for our family vacation. We stayed more than a week and trailered our own boat. The house was very clean and comfortable and the two decks were great to relax on. The dock was especially nice considering it had a boat lift which was a real bonus. Lee was quick to respond to some of the questions we had and also checked up on us via text during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would consider going here again.

Great property, especially for relaxing
We found the property to be updated, clean, and in good working order. The dock was a great feature and the lift in the dock was serious bonus. The proximity to 3 marinas can't be beat, and the state marina has 93 octane no-eth gas! The others are all 87 octane that we saw in the area. About the property: the water pressure was great, the AC was great, the appliances all seem to be nearly new. Can't speak to bed comfort for other people, but I'm picky and travel with my own pillow when I can. Only suggestion I would have would be to install ceiling fans in the 2 higher up bedrooms to get some airflow up there. We both agreed we would stay here again. If you bring your boat, the newer marina Twin Creek has good food for a fair price, but pricey drinks. The closer 2 marinas also have good food options (but not as "nice:), and good drink prices too. We enjoyed visiting all of them though, and have nothing bad to say about those either. ***PS - the owner was VERY responsive to questions we had, and that's the biggest thing to us on VRBO, an owner that cares about your investment in your vacation.

Beautiful Lake House
As others have mentioned, contact with the owners was wonderful. They answered all my extra questions very quickly. We really appreciate having the keyless entry system. And it was wonderful to have paper towels and ice upon arrival! We were a small family but would definitely consider this house in the future to share with friends or family. It has enough space inside and out for everyone to enjoy and not be crowded. Two outdoor decks with chairs, a swing and tables - I had a hard time each morning choosing where to go. Regularly saw at least 5 deer every day on the hillside. I also enjoyed having the large dock with chairs and shade while watching my son fish. And as others have mentioned, there are a lot of steps back up from the dock but definitely doable. After seeing other homes and their stairs, I think this house has one of the easier climbs! We hiked at the nearby State Park and rented a pontoon boat for the day. There are also the Jack Daniels Distillery Tours (book ahead of time). The location was perfect for our get away! We look forward to visiting again!

One of my favorite places I have ever booked on VRBO! From the openers and the location- couldn’t ask for more. If you like to cook- bring a favorite pot or pan as these need updating. Otherwise- you will be set! We brought our jet ski and spent time all over the property! Loved it.
