NEW OWNERS: Family Lakefront Retreat: huge dock/kayak/fish/fire pit/amenities
Idyllic, family-friendly lake front home with EPIC sunset views. Our retreat has 3,000 square feet of family-friendly living space with expansive lake views from almost every room. This open concept home features three private bedrooms, a bunk room, 2 living rooms, four full baths and a huge screened porch that overlooks the manicured grassy backyard, boat house and Lake Sinclair, one of Georgia’s cleanest lakes. The home's location in the cove offers breathtaking panoramic sunset views, great water views but none of the wake and chop of the high trafficked lake properties.
The space This is our own home away from home. We're so excited to be able to share it with other families. Featuring an open floor plan with soaring ceilings and views of the water from the most of the house, the fully equipped gourmet kitchen opens to a fireside great room with two comfy couches, arm chair, large smart TV (and cozy fireplace). With double ovens and a 5-burner gas cooktop, prepping meals is easy and enjoyable. A large central island offers ample prep space and casual seating for three. The adjoining dining room comfortably seats eight. Plus you can fold out the leaves of the side table to add a great "kids table" for the extended family dining.
The sun-filled screened porch is steps from the great room and affords a 180 degree view of the lake. There is lots of seating so everyone can enjoy the cool mornings and relaxing evenings. Seating includes a spacious dining table, couch, loveseat and 2 arm chairs. Ceilings fans keep it cool all summer long and a TV for fall football watching, coming soon.
Separated by the main living area, the primary suite has a wall of windows and private balcony that captures the astounding lake views. A king bed with buttery soft sheets and an incredible mattress that our guests rave about that comfortably accommodates sleeping for two. A full bathroom with a walk in shower, large walk-in closet and large flat-screen TV completes the space. A second guest suite with attached full bath features a tub/ shower, extra large vanity in addition to the bedroom's queen size bed w/ comfy mattress and soft, cool sheets, TV and walk-in closet. The third guest bedroom also has a queen bed with a guest-loved mattress and sheets and walk-in closet.
The lower level houses an 8-bed bunk room with comfortable twin mattresses and soft sheets and full bathroom with a tub/shower. There is also a second family room with lake views and a flat screen tv, comfy couch, game table with 4 chairs, a stocked bookshelf with books and games and a stocked laundry room with a full-sized washer and dryer.
Out the back doors of the home, a fun and fenced-in grassy backyard welcomes you and makes playing the provided yard games fun and easy. The large, covered patio has a ping pong table. Down towards the water is the wood burning fire pit with Adirondack chairs.
From the fire pit, access the private boat house and deep-water dock where you'll find more seating and lounging space. Guests can choose to take in the sun or stay in the shade under the pavilion. There are also tons of lake toys including two kayaks, boat tubes, rafts, noodles, a large foam play mat, a mini-refrigerator and lots of life jackets. There is also a fishing rod and tackle box should you choose to test your fishing prowess. The dock is located in a quiet, no-wake cove and is ideal for children and adults to safely swim and play. Also, Lake Sinclair is known for being one of Georgia's cleanest lakes so you can rest easy knowing your family is swimming and playing in clean, unpolluted water.
Guest access Guests have access to all areas of the home. The following is locked by owners: owner's closet in basement.
Other things to note If you wish to rent a boat there are 2 marinas/boat rental companies close in addition to boatsetter.com that offer daily and weekly rentals. The dock features built-in, flip up cleats on 2 sides so you can easily dock and tie-Up.
We would consider allowing guests to bring up to two small dogs but there is a carpet shampoo fee of $125 as we like to keep the house extremely clean for our non-pet guests. Please use the messaging feature if you would like to bring your small pets.

Stayed here with family and enjoyed the house. We spent majority of our time on the dock fishing, swimming and kayaking. The owner responded right away with some questions we had and even followed up to make sure we settled in well. Really enjoyed this location for our family.
We love coming here with the whole family, great location on the lake. We came in October of 2024 and couldn't wait to come back. Fishing is great for catfish, bass and crappie. House is laidout perfect for a large family big bunkroom down stairs for the kids. Rachael is a great host and we will be back.
My entire family loved staying at this property. Great boat house and wonderful main house, especially the huge screened porch. Lots of room to spread out, including a large dining table for shared meals. Our favorite property so far, after 4 years renting on Sinclair.
Property owners were very responsive and very accommodating. We had a wonderful little family vacation with all of grandchildren together for first time. Home was very spacious and room for all to move about comfortably!
We met our adult kids for what we hoped would be a low stress Thanksgiving. Since we come from different parts of the country, we don't all have a chance to see each other very often. We all had a great time! Great house and location!
House is perfect for a lake getaway. Excellent location on the lake. Wonderful setting in the backyard, deck, dock, fire pit. You won't want to leave. Great owners, very responsive. We'll be back!
The house has has beautiful views and plenty of space for the whole family. Owner was kind enough to give us a last minute refund on one night as we decided to alter our plans. Some of the outside furniture was not cleaned off but she gave partial refund on cleaning fee. Beds were comfy and bunk room and lower level was perfect for the kids!
Great location and house! We loved everything from the well equipped dock to the screened in back porch to the bunk room and very comfy master and guest beds! We also loved the open floorpan and views from the house and dock. Communication with owner couldn't have been better and they accommodated every single request. We will definitely be back!!
Had a great time at this property. Really good communications from the owner in managing expectations. Had a small problem that could of turn worst but the quick response from management made it a none issue. Plenty of space throughout the house and the kitchen was well stocked. Would book again and recommend to others.
This was a last minute change of location due to hurricane Helene. Rachael was so kind to accommodate us on short notice. The home and especially the yard were amazing for our family, we brought kayaks and fished the lake every day. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets from the back porch and dock, smores around the fire pit. Plenty of room for a big family.
The house is very roomy and comfortable. The beds are comfortable and there are plenty of bathrooms. The walk down to the lake is easy and the lake provided hours of fun for us as we brought out boat and floatation devices. They have plenty of life vests for us but bring your own floats! It was an easy drive into Milledgeville for dinner one night. thank you for sharing your beautiful place with us! We are doing a tour of lakes in Georgia for a potential move in the future. Hartwell and Sinclair done so far!
We had a Wonderful time. The house was perfect for our family. The open floor plan, the big screened in porch, the lake and the view, everything was soo nice!!! We would definitely stay here again.
The house is beautiful and very clean. The dock and yard are a great area to hang out. A/C worked great and beds were comfortable. Hope to.come back often.
We had an amazing stay! Lots of amenities and we really enjoyed the dock and boat house. Lots of room to tie down wave runners or a pontoon boat to the dock as well. Our favorite however, would have to be the large screened porch! The host was amazing and responded quickly to any questions or requests.
We came in a day early someone canceled so we took it. The floors were not cleaned from the previous guest. The sheets and pillow cases had stains which were not inviting. TV in the master worked but we could not get the other bedroom tvs to work. I contacted the renter and said they had never been in the other rooms so they couldn’t help. ??? Packages were delivered several times. No word on what we were supposed to do with them, I once again contacted the host. No answer. One of the children was on the dock barefooted and got a large peice of wood in his foot which took 9 hours at the ER to numb his leg to get a 2 inch peice of wood out of his foot. So no water for him for 3 days. We rented a pontoon for 5 days and jet skis for 2 today’s those were awesome. We loved going to the little beach over at goat island and playing. We saw deer daily. We loved fishing caught some small catfish.
