About this property
Bluebird Rest - Peaceful Lake Retreat
This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place people don’t want to leave. Tucked along the quiet shoreline of Lincoln Lake, this private cottage has become something of a hidden gem. Guests regularly say the same thing before they leave: “WE WANT TO BUY THIS PLACE.” The Experience: Mornings start slow—coffee on the porch, the lake still, birds moving through the trees. Afternoons are yours. Fish off the dock, take the kayaks out, read, stroll around the lake, or do nothing at all. Evenings are where it settles in—cool shade, fire pit going, the kind of quiet you didn’t realize you needed. This isn’t a busy, crowded lake, it’s peaceful, private, hard to find. What makes it different…Sits on 4 manicured lake lots , (rare for this area). Private dock, screened porch for year round comfort, Stone patio + fire pit for the evenings. Wildlife everywhere—eagles, deer, otters, owls, waterfowl, etc…. Everything here has been intentionally cared for—not just functional, but felt. Location: 20 minutes from Jack Daniels Distillery, 15 minutes to Pritchard Distillery, minutes to Elk River canoe access, close to hiking, but far from noise. Included: 2 kayaks and firewood. IMPORTANT: Quiet lake community—this is a place to relax, not party. No gas powered boats. Pet Fee: $100 (please clean up + minimize barking)

Beautiful property. Pictures online don’t do it justice. Secluded location for peace. Clean and well equipped. Decorations are out of a magazine. Owner was helpful and check in was easy. We highly recommend this home.
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.
The owners were excellent host. The cottage and lake exceeded all expectations. The fire pit by the lakes edge was awesome. The place was beautiful and relaxing...will definitely be back
Had a great stay at Bluebird rest. Very peaceful setting for a nice relaxing weekend. Shellia was very responsive and answered any questions. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get away.
This place is great for relaxing by the lake and kayaking. We enjoyed our evenings by the fire pit and mornings on the screened in porch. The cottage is very clean and had everything we needed for our getaway. The first time crossing the damn/spillway is a little unnerving but after a couple of times you get used to it. I highly recommend visiting Pritchards distillery, a short drive from the lake.
This was the most relaxed vacation I have had in so many years. The lake and screened in porch were amazing for the soul. I wish I could purchase this property and keep it for myself!
We just couldn’t get the fish to bite (as our 6 year old stomping around the dock haha). We only wish we got to cruise on the golf cart, but really no need to leave such a beautiful property!
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!
Very relaxing and peaceful place. The screened in porch with the lake view was my favorite. Shellia is very nice and easy to communicate with. The cottage is very clean and comfortable. We will definitely be back!
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.
We absolutely love this house. The lake view is amazing & the back porch & swing is to die for. It’s literally my favorite place on earth. This was our third year in a row visiting & we hope to continue our annual getaway. The neighborhood is so calm & quiet & the house is clean & cozy. Perfect for a peaceful time away.
This bungalow is even better than it looks. The furnishings, decor, and amenities exceeded our expectations. The lake community is quiet and quaint and the view was outstanding. Our relaxing stay was just what we needed. Our wonderful hosts were available with any questions we had. We will definitely return!
This place is a hidden gem! Communication with Shellia was great. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed! The cottage is beautiful and very clean. We felt so comfortable and relaxed our whole trip. You will not be disappointed!
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!!
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!
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!
This home is spectacular! The owners are wonderful and have thought of every detail possible to have in the home! Beautiful, quiet, clean little lake! We had the most awesome couple of days that exceeded all expectations. If we could give more than a 5- star rating, we would!
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!
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!! (-:
