The house very clean, beautifully decorated, very comfortable, well-stocked and convenient to stores and restaurants. Also close to Tims Ford State Park. Good communication with host (easy to contact). This is not a complaint it is a heads up. The house is up on a hill. It is a waterfront property, and you can see the lake. There is a lot of steps to go down to get to the gazebo/dock. If anyone in your party has knee problems or has a problem walking, then you may want to keep in mind there are a lot of steps to get down to the water.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
The house was nice. The photos need to be updated. The exterior of the property is badly in need of repair. The stairs down to the dock are rotting, several steps are loose and the handrail is so rough that you can’t hang onto it. The ceiling of the outdoor area half way down the property is rotting out. The neighbor 2 doors down is having major construction done and it starts at 7 AM and continues till 5PM. There will be no peaceful time outside on this property until the construction is done . I realize this isn’t the fault of the owner but when I asked if they knew that this was going on and if it would continue all week, they did not answer my question which leads me to wonder if they knew . I would not have rented this location if I had known .

Response from VrboOwner on 7 Sept 2026
We appreciate feedback, but it is important to correct the record. The statement that we did not respond is inaccurate. The morning after Lisa's arrival, I proactively contacted her to check on her stay and invited her to report any concerns. When she asked about construction next door, I responded the same day and asked for additional information so I could investigate. I received no further response. We were unaware of the neighboring work, but would have gladly explored whether anything could be done had we been given the opportunity. The photos show normal cosmetic weathering of exterior waterfront structures—not unsafe or dangerous conditions. Any legitimate safety issue is addressed immediately. We take pride in our home and responsive service and simply wish we had been given the opportunity to address these concerns during the stay.

We really had a blast at our stay at the lake house! The home was stocked well with anything that was needed. The views were beautiful and the cove was so peaceful. Our favorite thing to do was to hang out at the dock and enjoy swimming, floating, and fishing. Eddie was very communicative, even called before our stay to make sure to answer any questions we had, which was a plus! Would stay again in the future

Pretty lake viet

We enjoyed our stay and found the hosts to be very responsive and the lake house clean. The views are beautiful as is the property as it has a lot of out door living that’s nice to gather any time of day out side. I will say that I am thankful to be a healthy adult or would not have been able to run the 135 stairs up and down to the dock. Look forward to returning.

Tims Ford Explorer

We enjoyed a long weekend at the property. The owner Eddie was easy to work with and very helpful. Renting a boat for a few days allowed the full lake experience. Beautiful house on a beautiful lake. We’ll be back sometime to experience again. Note, make sure your family is good with steps to access the lake.

Great place. Caution: stairs to the water are brutal.

Great place to stay on Tims Ford. Awesome location toward the center of the lake. If you are not in average to great shape and want to visit the lakeside dock, I caution you about the stairs. There are over 100 of them, and I doubt you’ll want to trek up and down them very often unless you’re just a glutton for punishment. It’s definitely a place we’d love to stay again.

We stayed for a week to celebrate our 42nd anniversary in September. Off-season is very quiet and relaxing. The home is well equipped for dinning and cooking. The seating is very comfortable. The decor is very pleasing with unique light fixtures and the owner's photography. The upper deck and lower porch have plenty of seating with plush cushions.Our only concern was the poorly lit in-ground flagstone steps to the front door with no handrail. Two of the flagstone were loose and rocked in the ground.

Wonderful weekend getaway

Our host, Eddie was so easy to work with throughout the entire rental process and stay. He was a pleasure and very communicative. The home is decorated beautifully and beds are comfortable. Kitchen has everything you need. My kids enjoyed the pool table. Home was immaculate! Kudos to the cleaning staff. Outdoor areas were nice for relaxing and chatting. Steps to dock were the only downside, but worth it.

This was a fantastic stay! Everything we needed was there, even down to dish soap, laundry detergent, etc. That’s very unusual for a VRBO these days. Eddie was great to work with and even had some good recommendations for dinner. We would love to come back again. The lake was gorgeous and neighbors were friendly. My two suggestions would be, we would’ve loved a big sectional downstairs instead of a pool table so we could’ve piled on and watched movies in the evenings after a long day of having fun at the lake. The couch upstairs didn’t quite fit seven people—more like 3-4 people. Also, we could have used some curtains that covered the windows in the master bedroom upstairs. We woke up with the sun. That being said, go ahead and rent this place for your family or friend group. You won’t regret it!
