I already am looking for another weekend to come back and enjoy this cottage. The Fish Cottage and hosts David and Autumn are 5 stars!! I felt like I was in an episode of Little house on the Prairie. So clean, perfectly stocked with Everything and more ! The rainfall shower was exquisite. The decor and rustic charm is beyond what any of the pictures portrayed. Thank you for opening your cottage to my son and I. We will be back !!

A magical cabin where we were instantly able to relax. The inside felt much larger than than the outside suggested. Beds were nice and comfortable with a shower that's next level. We come to this area for an event every year. Will definitely be booking this going forward.

Very private and quiet, comfortable beds, lovely shower. Only a few minutes from historic Milledgeville. So wonderful to sit on the porch and listen to the silence at night. House is a restored post bellum tenant farmer house. Much of the original wood and interior construction technique is still visible.

About the host

Hosted by David T. Perry PHD

Host profile image
Owners are retired from healthcare and business careers. We enjoy our home built in 1873 which we restored in 2003. We moved the cottage from a farm 14 miles from here and restored it in 2011. It is 100 years old with very nice modern improvements, yet it retains the atmosphere of the tenant house that was home for a family for 80 years. We have 160 acres at the dead end of Fox Hill Rd.

Why they chose this property

This property was a crop and livestock farm in the 1800's. We have open pastures, pines and hardwoods, and describe it as an Island away from the frenzy. Most used word by guests to describe it is PEACEFUL.

What makes this property unique

LOCATION. In the country yet less than 10 minutes from downtown, GCSU, GMC and many restaurants, move, and mall.
Only 15 minutes from Lake Sinclair.
