Bluebird Rest - Lakefront Cottage

Step back in time and relax in this 1950s lakefront cottage situated on 4 beautiful lake front lots. This 1950’s home was used as a safe house many years ago. Beautiful remodel includes a screened in back porch with a running creek that falls into the lake from the yard.
Located in the heart of the TN Whiskey Trail, it’s a short scenic 20 min. to Jack Daniel’s and Prichards Distillery. Minutes away is a favorite canoe drop off on the Elk River, as well as many hiking locations. Tim’s Ford Lake is only about 30 minutes away, as well as Sewanne and Monteagle where hiking trails are abundant.

Lincoln Lake is located just down the creek from Flintville Fish Hatchery where rainbow trout are raised and distributed. Luxury bed linens are provided for a relaxing nights sleep. Stone patio and fire pit are the perfect spot for relaxing, bird watching and enjoying evening cocktails. Beautiful sunrises in the morning with the cool evening shade makes this cottage an excellent place to enjoy time with friends or family.
Bald eagles live here as well as an abundance of waterfowl, turkey, deer and other wildlife.

Two kayaks are provided for our guests to enjoy.
YOU WILL LOVE THIS COTTAGE!!! 🍀

Great Cottage by the lake
My grandson and I absolutely loved our stay at this quaint quiet cottage by the lake. We thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit just feet from the lake listening to music and roasting hot dogs and marshmallows. The inside is nicely decorated and very clean with an awesome view. The owners provided everything we needed!

Just What We Needed
The Bluebird was just what we meeded after an extreamly busy week. We had friends in from England and we did not leave once we got here! It is clean, beautifully decorated and the extras are amazing. Thanks to Sheila for a stay to remember. We will be back!

Excellent staycation!
We needed a nearby getaway for our birthday celebrations and found ‘Bluebird Rest’ located at tranquil Lincoln Lake via VRBO and what a great choice we made indeed!! 😊 The property, the spectacular views, the wonderful hostess, the sweet community and the beautiful nature that surrounded us was more than we could have asked for which made our get away trip even more special/memorable!! Definitely recommend you experience this on your own. We plan to do so again very soon!! (-:

An exceptional experience at Bluebird’s Rest
My husband and I travel and use Vrbo several times a year. Bluebird’s Rest was the most exceptional, well thought out and hospitable stay we have ever experienced. The amenities and location were beyond our expectations. From the extra bug spray to balsamic vinegar, from the temperature of the house to the box fan we needed, at every juncture this host delivered!

We stayed here so we could visit Falls Mill. Bluebird Rest was a good base to explore the area. My two kids (aged 6 and 3) loved the golf cart and the kayak.

A wonderful relaxing week.
I rented this cabin while my son attended Space Camp. I could not have been more pleased. The owner was very hospitable abs friendly. My first morning she stopped by to say hello and gave me a dozen farm fresh eggs. She checked in periodically to see how things were going. The house is equipped very well and I will for sure be back next year!

Beautiful, peaceful cottage!
Well-decorated and comfortable cottage in a beautiful, peaceful setting! We really enjoyed a respite at the cottage after the holiday season. It’s a great place to read, play board games, meditate, and hang out. The back porch and view are idyllic! We will definitely try to stay here again when the weather is warmer.

The most relaxing place EVER
This was our 2nd time visiting Bluebird Rest & we plan to go again! The area & lake are so calm, quiet & peaceful. I could sit on the back deck on the swing & read for hours (days maybe?) or just enjoy the beautiful view. Everything looks just like in the pictures but even better in real life. If you want to get away to a quiet retreat, I highly recommend!!
