Only went for a meal based upon reviews. Picnic tables overlooking boat slips, not nice view of lake. If two people sit on one side of picnic table, it turns over. Basic food - hamburger, fries, onion rings. Horrible bathrooms. Very casual. Should have tried Blue Gill Marina.
good food, nice atmosphere, pretty place on the lake, plenty of parking and easy access. I highly recommend this place for a good meal and reasonable prices.
The Marina has only one launch ramp, but many people just wait in a queue, then park at one of the many spaces. The restaurant has all the food you might need for a day on the lake. But the hand-dipped ice cream is the best with flavors that rival Baskin Robbins. It is a laid-back place, and the speed limit is only 15 mph until you leave the area--with gas is available at boat dock. But please, be courteous and use "no-wake" speed when entering the different coves--there are people swimming and playing at their property in these coves.
I've lived in neighboring Winchester, TN four years and recently retired. I grew up on TVA lakes in East Tennessee so knew pretty much what I was in for in terms of all the recreational aspects of these well-monitored lakes. Sadly, Tim's Ford Lake is under served in terms of full-service lake marina's, but after becoming acclimated to all the possibilities I've settled on Tim's Ford Marina for on-water boat dockage. This facility has all the amenities including cabins, RV camp ground, showers and laundry, restaurant, mini-store, fuel, and huge docking space for houseboats to dinghy's. The staff is friendly and helpful. Live, outdoor entertainment on the restaurant patio on the weekends is a good way to top off a fun day of boating on the lake.
Stopped in one day for a burger, it was great. Old style burger. Then our band, "Soul Session" played their fall event for all the slip renters. What a host and what a great party!!!
Good food and great atmosphere. Cool to feed the fish off the deck. Great boat launch for a cheap price.
The marina is very nice with a little supply store. The boat launch is nice and the water is beautiful and deep. I highly recommend Tim's Ford Marina. There was a fee to launch your boat when we went, but looking is free. There are cabins nearby for rent.
Rented a one-bedroom cabin off season (late March). Price was reasonable. Staff was friendly and accommodating. We found a used coffee filter still in the coffee pot which makes you wonder about other things. Place smelled clean. Bed linen looked okay. Bathroom appeared to be clean. Check in/out was painless. Breakfast at the marina was average but convenient. There was no other (decent) place to eat anywhere within 30 minutes so bring groceries. Close to Lynchburg and Jack Daniels tour. Nice 2-day getaway. Summer time would be better, rent a pontoon, fish or relax.
Wonderful! Beautiful views. Excellent service. Comfortable cabins with nice decks. Everything you need on a lake vacation.
The cabins are so very cute and the view is amazing. Cabins are not fancy by any means but certainly clean, comfortable and well appointed. The satellite TV and Wi-Fi were a pleasant surprise. We enjoyed burgers and fries at the marina restaurant on our first night. We had a wonderful weekend.
