About this property

Tims Ford Lake Retreat - The Got-Away

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.

Best Christmas house ever

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!

Lovey

We were attending a concert in the caverns nearby. The house is lovely. We struggled to get the fire place going on the deck, disappointing but not major. The 4th bedroom (2 twins) is the only one on the bottom level with the 3rd full bathroom. We are a group of three couples so one couple just went from top floor queen bedroom to bottom level to shower. Again, not major but good to be aware. Everything in the house is clean! So festive for Christmas! We really enjoyed our time.

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.
