We absolutely loved everything about our stay at the Blue Heron Chalet in Kelso! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the peaceful setting, thoughtful amenities, and beautiful design of the cabin. It was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway.The location is secluded enough to feel private, yet close to great local spots like distilleries, wineries, and charming small-town attractions. The outdoor area was perfect for morning coffee and evening grilling. Watching the sunset over the water was a highlight!We felt right at home and appreciated all the little touches that made the experience so special. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a serene and stylish escape in Tennessee. We’ll definitely be back!

Relaxation we needed

The property matched online pictures. The small lake was perfect for kayaking and it was so nice that there were no motorized boats but electric small motors. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Just what we hoped for when we booked it. The layout and decor was charming and we lived the large porch! We would plan to book this property again if staying in the area. We booked only one tour in the few days we were there and that was Jack Daniels distillery 30 minutes away in Lynchburg. Great tour and cute town to visit.

So relaxing!

Such a great cottage! Excellent communication with host who even left water and snacks. Kayaks were available but it was far too windy. The porch is a phenomenal place to relax with a book and there was a selection to choose from! Flyers were available for local restaurants and activities.

Gorgeous Relaxing Lakehouse

This was exactly what the listing detailed and more. From the kayaks, to fishing, to blissful reading on the screened in patio, this property and the host were phenomenal. If you need to get away from everything this is a perfect spot for it.
