Lakefront property, spacious family retreat with private dock, hot tub & kayak

If you are looking for an incredibly fun getaway for your whole family, Jackson Cove is the best destination on Tims Ford Lake!!!
This cozy home is centrally located off the main channel in a cove with its own private dock perfect for swimming, fishing, and boating. There are 2 deck levels, stairs with handrails to the dock, hot tub, boat launch access 5 minutes away, screened-in porch, spacious great room, dining area, and a full-service kitchen. Sleeps 12-15. Come enjoy your new favorite lake retreat!

Walking in the front door at Jackson Cove guests will see the open living area with a cathedral ceiling, kitchen with bar-top seating, and a pass-through to the dining area.

There is plenty of extra seating for large families, a fireplace, smart TV, and a door to the upper-level deck with a beautiful view of the lake and wooded back yard. From this deck, guests can chill and grill, walk down to the private dock or relax in the screened-in sunroom and 2 person hammock.

Back inside the main floor either walk down the hallway to the half bath and master bedroom with private office space, master bath, and sliding door to the sunroom, or head downstairs to the great room.

The great room has plenty of seating as well as a new smart TV with DVD player withCD's, a Wii, 3 bunks, and a floor mattress for plenty of options for sleeping, as well as several board games and books to enjoy.

Also on the lower level is a full-service laundry room with a sink and an extra refrigerator, a full bathroom, and 2 additional bedrooms.

From the great room, guests can walk out onto the lower deck for more seating and lush views of the outdoors and lake, walk to the dock, or take a turn in the relaxing 4-6 person hot tub.

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!
