Blue Herron Lodging and Art Retreat

Blue Herron Lodging and Art Retreat

When you are ready for an ideal experience at a slower pace, you will want to visit the Blue Heron Studio and Retreat located in Jackson County, Tennessee. This beautiful property boasts a mile of shoreline on the Cumberland River and the Cordell Hull Lake. Woodland walks will easily put you in touch with nature as you see bald eagles soaring over your head and lake. Nearby recreational Cordell Hull Lake offers fishing and panoramic views. Antique shops, restaurants and necessary items can be purchased in nearby Gainesboro, county seat of Jackson County. Historical buildings and local museums celebrate the county's history and contributions to the military.

When the destination can be more than you expected, and you find yourself caught into the magical "pixie dust" of nature then your travel is worthwhile. When you can put your fast pace life on hold and still have the amenities of a very comfortable dwelling, including plasma T.V. and hot tub, you have found a special spot to relax. When you can do this and enjoy a new skill at one of the many art seminars, you will leave regenerated and renewed in your field. So whether this is a romantic retreat, or a vacation from a hectic everyday life, or a celebration of your personal life goals, you will be charmed and rejuvenated. The Khouri family wants to help you achieve that sense of your perfect experience!
