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 blue heron is the perfect name for this beautiful blue house on Lincoln lake! The owners were quick to respond to any questions and had anything you’d like and need for a cozy lakeside vacation! We enjoyed being out in the quiet but close to Walmart and Pritchards distillery (a must on your stay!)

So relaxing!

Ms. Gloria was the perfect hostess. Everything we needed for a relaxing weekend was available. The kayaking was so much fun. The bed was super comfortable and having recliners in the living room was a nice bonus. I felt like I was at home (and I didn’t want to go back to my real home so soon!). We will definitely be back.

We were beyond impressed by this property. Very clean, well decorated, nice personal touches with snacks, coffee, games, binoculars for bird watching, kayaks, etc. We never left (except in the kayaks)! Gloria was easy to communicate with and left plenty of helpful information about the area. We look forward to coming back again!

We loved this little cabin. The only bummer was the lake wasn’t great for swimming. It was however great for kayaking. The snacks and amenities were incredible and much more than most rentals. The lake was so quiet and private. Saw very few other people. The screened in back porch was where we spent the most time. Nice comfy furniture throughout the rental, comfy bed, lots of blankets, AC works great!! Hope we can come back.

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!
