Welcome to The Got-Away, a place where you can relax & renew. The Got-Away is a play on the phrase "the fish that Got Away". Since Tims Ford offers wonderful fishing opportunities, we thought the name would be perfect. We want our home to be a place where you can escape life's hassles with family & friends. Our Dad loved to fish, and many of the items in The Got-Away were his. As an Army/Coast Guard Veteran, the water was a second home to him. We hope it will be for you and your guests as well. The space The Got-Away is perfect for couples, families or a group of friends looking to get away for a long weekend or week! Wake up and enjoy your morning coffee cozied up by the fireplace on our enclosed patio. Spend your evenings relaxing with your friends and family. The Got-Away is perfect for your getaway.

We thought this property was great! It was clean, well appointed with household items that made the stay comfortable, and the property manager was accommodating in allowing us a slightly early check in. No complaints at all!
This property is perfect for us to visit Winchester family and friends during the holidays. From the Christmas tree to the lake views and fresh smelling linens to large TV for watching football games, this house is awesome for our family of 8!
Not only were the accommodations exemplary and clean, but decorated beautifully... and seasonal! So many added amenities. The home was perfect for a family celebration.
This get away was wonderful . It had everything you could possible need, if you possibly forgot any little essentials. The home is so beautifully decorated, this house was super clean ! Great job to the cleaning crew. Only down fall is the WiFi wasn’t good in the house or in the area.
We loved our stay here. The house is clean, well decorated, quiet and exactly as listed. New neighborhood and easy access to Holiday Marina. The house is well stocked with dishes and items needed to cook. Driveway had room for the boat and truck. We’d love to stay again!
We had the best time at this Tim’s Ford lake house! Beautiful home, great sized rooms and living quarters. Host was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. 10/10
Visited a longtime friend who lost her husband during covid, Facilities were absolutely perfect for our group of retired folks. Beautiful area. Would definitely consider coming back.
Super clean, plenty of room and extremely well appointed. Every thing was thought of. Our favorite was coffee on the deck during the chilly mornings with the fireplace.
The house was perfectly decorated for the holidays with a Christmas tree as the cherry on top. We didn’t need anything because they thought of everything. Highly recommend this house and we will be back next Christmas!
Beautiful, immaculate home. Loved every detail. Would not change a thing and hope to be back. The hosts truly thought of everything that guests would want to make it a restful stay.
Out far enough for peace and quiet, but close enough to drive avout 5 miles for stores and necessities! The host is very responsive and accommodating! Will definetley stay here again
The only thing we didnt like was no tvs in the bed rooms, but we didnt need them to drown out any city noise so didnt mind it at all! Perfect place for a family vacay!

About the host
Hosted by Cynthia Harvey
This is a family affair. The home is an homage to the patriarchs in our family, Charles Sr. and Charles, Jr., who loved the water, outdoor activities, and family. There are touches of them throughout the home. We hope you feel relaxed and comfortable in the space we have created for you.
We love hosting because of the incredible experiences and memories it provides for our guests. We have hosted wedding participants, family reunions, anniversaries, birthdays, and many other celebrations. It is also the perfect place to just get away any time of the year. It is tranquil and peaceful. The friendly neighborhood cat might come by for a visit while you are out on the porches enjoying a book, cup of coffee or conversations with loved ones.
Why they chose this property
This neighborhood is a fun community. It has a great mixture of full-time residents and short-term rental properties. It has a very laid-back vibe and is incredibly family-oriented.
We fell in love with the location being a bit secluded from the main road, but within walking distance to Holiday Marina.
What makes this property unique
The uniqueness of our property stems from the fact that it is a tribute to our family. It is a place where you feel at home because it is a home away from home to us. It is filled with personal touches and is a place you can let your guards down and relax.
