Was here for The Jack bbq contest and this was the perfect spot to stay outside Lynchburg. Clean with all the amenities we needed and then some. Enjoyed a night on the screened in porch and a night by the fire pit. Relaxing and quiet and the lake was beautiful!

The lake side chalet is so charming! The house was very clean, well decorated, and great amenities! There was even a snack basket upon our arrival! We absolutely loved the serene and peaceful setting of the patio deck overlooking the lake. Great Blue Herons, egrets, and geese were so fun to watch. We enjoyed paddling around the lake in the kayaks provided too. I would definitely recommend The Blue Heron!

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!

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.

Cute cozy cabin

My daughter and I had a wonderfully relaxing weekend at Gloria’s cabin. The cabin was very clean, cozy and had an amazing screened in porch where a wonderful afternoon of reading and relaxing was on the agenda. The beds were wonderful and provided a restful night’s sleep. Gloria took care to provide a wide array of snacks as well. 10/10 recommend this wonderful retreat.

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.

Quick get away

Very updated and clean property. Very private on small lske with lots of wildlife. Saw blue herrons, ducks, egrets, woodpeckers , deer and a bald eagle. Took a day trip to Tims Fork state park. Unfortunately the weather was cloudy and cold except for the day we left. Fall colors were just starting to turn pretty. Would recommend.
