Room for everyone!
The home is spacious, and was very clean. We traveled with 2 adults and 3 teens. There was plently of cooking gear in the kitchen for making big meals, which we always do. The beds were comfortbale- there are so many beds in this house I lost count! Two big couches, lots of room for everyone to spread out. A wonderful screened in porch area. Upper and lower level decks were beautiful. Plenty of hot water. Some big flatheads in that cove, fishing right off the dock. They like garlic and red koolaid hotdogs best. I needed to contact the owners, simply due to spring at the lake the hot tub needed cleaned, and they responded right away and fixed the problem immediatly. We come down a few times a year, and this will now be our go to rental each time. This home would def be big enough for bigger groups! Oh, and a wii and plenty of board games too! 5 stars on this one for sure!

Great family get away!
We had a great time! The owners are so nice and very accommodating! One of my favorite things about this place....my daughter is a gourmet cook and she travels with some of her cooking supplies. The kitchen at Jackson's Retreat was so well stocked with everything she needed that she did not have to break out her own cookware.

Quiet Break on the Lake
We travelled with family for a party nearby. The home was beautiful and well stocked. We had direct contact with the owners who were kind and welcoming. We felt like we were staying at a friend’s home. The neighborhood was quiet and the wildlife (while noisy at night) were plentiful. Beautiful families of deer and fawns visited nightly. They had experienced some damage to the docks with recent storms (which they notified us about). It didn’t affect our stay but we appreciated the heads up! When visiting the area in the future we would definitely consider staying again.

Beautiful Home on the Lake
My family (Me, my husband, and 3 adult children) had a wonderful time. Our dogs were able to come with us and also loved it. One of them wanted to stay! The home had lots of space and areas that we could work remotely on Friday. The description was spot on. I appreciated the quick communication and the kindness of the host. The setting was beautiful. It was a walk t the lake (about 100 steps with benches halfway up) however, it was nice to be on a hill, with lots of trees and privacy. We enjoyed coffee on the porch, playing games, and the hot tub!

Great location, well stocked kitchen, lots of lounge space. Only complaint was that the hot tub did not stay warm and took many hours to hear back up, which was a bummer.

Great getaway
The house had plenty room for our family getaway. We loved the porch sitting. The only thing I would recommend is maybe adding tv's in the bedrooms or at least the master. I didn't notice they didn't have them when booking. The host were very prompt in responding when I had questions.

Home Away From Home
Looking to get away and relax, look no further. This property will provide a comfortable stay for everyone. The home is very well equipped and the hosts are amazing. They welcomed my entire family. The location is great with stores, marinas and restaurants within a short distance. We came here to celebrate our 50th anniversary with our entire family and a great time was had by all. I highly recommend this home.

Weekend family getaway
Our family stayed here for a weekend getaway to Tim's Ford lake. The house has a great view to enjoy from the back deck, and a screened in porch that was perfect for coffee and watching the sunrise. When a thunderstorm cut short our boating time, we had a great time staying in and playing board games. One of our new favorite family getaway places!

Spacious Family Fun
There was plenty of room to spread out in this spacious home. Our kids loved having their own space for watching movies, playing games, and bunking. Although the water was low, the kids enjoyed exploring the lake bed and kayaking in the cove. The hot tub and the hammock were perfect places for mom and dad to relax and listen to the kids play. The home felt like a home away from home!
