So relaxing!

Such a great cottage! Excellent communication with host who even left water and snacks. Kayaks were available but it was far too windy. The porch is a phenomenal place to relax with a book and there was a selection to choose from! Flyers were available for local restaurants and activities.

Every we wanted

Me and my daughter love being outside and nature, it was her spring break and we wanted to get away. We loved everything about The Blue Heron, so peaceful and everyone we came in contact with so nice. We enjoyed fishing, kayaking, and just taking everything in, we got to see rabbits, frogs, deer, geese, and everything kind of bird we could name. The Place was perfect. I have to say I have never slept so well away from home! We will definitely be back! Thank you Blue Heron for giving us such an amazing trip, life time memories and your gracious hospitality!

The Best Little Getaway!

This property was perfect! We have stayed in many VRBO properties over the years, and this was one of the best. My husband and I wanted to just get away for a couple of days. He loves to fish and the dock right in front of the house was wonderful. I have never seen a home so well equipped with everything and anything you would need. The snack basket was unbelievable. The living areas were pleasant and even more spacious than the pictures looked. The screened in porch was the best - in the morning and in the evening. The bedroom was roomy and the bed was extremely comfortable. The only bad thing was that we didn't stay long enough! Next time we will. Thank you Gloria!

Great cabin getaway!

This was a great cottage on a lake. We were looking for total relaxation and got just that. We spent most of the time sitting on the huge screened in porch, watching the steam rise off the lake in the mornings, the sunset in the evenings as the sun dropped behind the trees beyond the lake and all of the nature in between. It’s clear why the name of this cabin is Blue Heron. We got to see this bird fishing most of the day. Great accommodations in this newly renovated cabin. Would definitely stay again.

Blue Heron is perfect.

The host thought of everything for our comfort, including snacks. The cottage is super cute, and the porch was fantastic with comfortable couches. The bed, linens, and towels were all high quality. I highly recommend it if you're in the area or looking for a relaxing getaway. It's a beautiful country drive into Lynchburg.

Gorgeous Relaxing Lakehouse

This was exactly what the listing detailed and more. From the kayaks, to fishing, to blissful reading on the screened in patio, this property and the host were phenomenal. If you need to get away from everything this is a perfect spot for it.

Beautiful, peaceful getaway spot

This lake house is so cute and very clean. The views from the screened-in porch are beautiful and it’s so quiet and peaceful! I would love to go back in the fall. We only stayed 2 nights but I would have liked to stay longer.

Lake House on Lincoln Lake in Kelso, TN

This home was incredible! The owner really knew what was needed to make it cozy, comfortable, and relaxing! From feather top mattress, to string lights and fans on the porch, to soft blankets that smelled divine, it was just perfect! I highly recommend staying at this cabin as a retreat by yourself with your significant other!

Peaceful Haven

This was just the relaxing cottage we needed ! I could live on the porch overlooking the lake . We enjoyed the cooling rain and delighted in the variety of birds . I never wanted to leave ! 5 stars ***** ( one suggestion tho - I have a lot of allergies and asthma and the cleaning products used really affected me ! Thieves is great ! Fabuloso is not ) Overall we were both delighted .
