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.
