About this property
BEST Location, Luxury, Spacious, Kayaks, Fire Pit, Dock! Each BR HAS A BATHROOM!
Important- the Vrbo platform is having technical difficulties, and they have deleted 115 (accumulated over the last 3.5 years) of my reviews. 😮
Enjoy this 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ newly painted, beautifully decorated, spacious MILLEDGEVILLE lakefront home (Lake SINCLAIR) with 2 TRUE MASTER SUITES with king beds downstairs and 2 Spacious Bedrooms upstairs to encompass THREE Queen beds and 1 set of bunk beds. Both upstairs bedrooms are complete with their own full baths! (Sleeps total 12 comfortably in BEDS). ** Again, Each true bedroom has its own private full bath! Bedroom #5- upstairs is a spacious landing (no private bath) overlooking main living ... Queen SLEEPER sofa!
*****BONUS is- early check in (2pm) and late check out (11am) with each stay! ⏰
Slip into the lap of luxury in this gorgeous, spacious jewel at "Jewel Point" as you enjoy serenity of a beautiful insta fireplace, breathtaking views (hands down-some of the BEST on the lake), New flat screen (Smart) television, luxurious bedding, back porch seating/dining, new living room furniture and spectacular sunsets!
This home's kitchen is gorgeous and equipped as if you were at home PLUS YOUR CHOICE OF DRIP COFFEE OR KEURIG!! We are ecstatic to announce that we have recently updated the counter tops, floors and kitchen fixtures! ☕☕ -- It is perfect for entertaining as you prepare. In addition, we also provide a charcoal grill within steps of the dining areas!
* In an effort to keep all of us on the same page-- Please be sure and tell me what brings you to the lake upon requesting to book.
While inside the home-- allow yourself to UNWIND with breathtaking, unobstructed Lake Views from The Kitchen, Dining, Master Bedroom and Great room!
Most guests embrace the GENTLY SHORT SLOPE (something that is hard to find on Lake Sinclair) to get to the lake. You will also really enjoy the fact that we are just inside a perfectly sized cove!!
We take great pride in assuring the grounds are maintained at the highest standards in an effort to assure one enjoys every picturesque moment! A newly placed high top table and Adirondack chairs on the back porch for a VERY relaxing View (just out the back door of the house)....is something that recent guests have raved about!!🦅🌅🐦
It is in a private community off Sinclair Marina Rd with 2 other residences. This home is the Big House/UNIT A of the 3 residences. Guests enjoy the private boat house and dock!
Need watercraft? We can also provide 3 kayaks on property (only $100/visit)! We ask that you please bring your own life jackets when you can. In addition-- don't hesitate to bring your Floats or rafts! We have a manual air pump in the garage!!
Up for a game of Corn Hole? You can enjoy the PROFESSIONAL Boards and bags can be found in the garage. 🎯🌽🎯
While down by the water... whether you are a sun lover or one who just enjoys the relaxing breeze and lake views-- this home is PERFECT because it offers both Covered and Uncovered spacious DOCK SEATING! We take great pride in assuring there is a safe "lake entry and exit" by providing steps to simply walk into the refreshing water.
After you enjoy a full day on the pristine deep waters of Lake Sinclair (over 500 miles of shoreline)- relax and embrace the most breathtaking sunset you have ever seen! Just prior to the sun disappearing - it seems as though there are diamonds and sapphires floating on the water top! 🌅💎🌅
In trying to think of everything for our guests we've also placed a fire pit at the water's edge! We provide firewood at times. ♨️⛺♨️
Another huge bonus.....Our home is only 3 miles from Super Kroger, Publix, Bibas Italian, Jersey Mikes Subs, Aubri Lanes (5 star), downtown restaurants and more . ALSO, less than 2 miles from to marinas where you can rent additional watercraft! We are 4 miles from the beautiful Oconee Greenway state park which offers Oconee River walking paths, fishing, a public boat ramp and more. Rock Hawk Effigy is another wonderful destination, and it is only about 20 minutes from the house. It will provide you with beautiful trails in addition to water ways for swimming!
If you are forced to keep in touch with the real world-- our Wi-Fi is also excellent.
...only 6 easy miles from Downtown Milledgeville, and approximately 60 miles from Atlanta. We are also a hop skip and jump from UGA...Athens! Go Dawgs! Another popular event for our guests is the MASTERS.
We are 1 mile from Sinclair Marina and 2 miles from Little River Marina!!!!!! Boat and Jet ski rentals available at both (call asap because they book early). We allow maximum of 2 boats.
There is enough parking for 1 vehicle in THE DOUBLE GARAGE, 2 additional vehicles on the parking pad, and MAYBE 2 more in front of the garage.

We welcome your pets (dogs) also - nonrefundable deposit required PER ANIMAL! IMPORTANT- Please disclose number of dogs, sizes and breeds upon requesting your reservation (Limit 2 per stay- and bring your crates). We require they are crated while they in the home.🐶
Oh, and Lake Sinclair is by far one of the FRIENDLIEST LAKES in Ga! Don't forget to wave as the boats/jet skies go by!! 💗 ⚓
LAKE SINCLAIR is Georgia's best hidden gem--- Never too crowded (with the exception of 4th July). *Sinclair is one of Georgia's Cleanest Lakes and remains full year around. Enjoy all the water sports: Fishing (best in Georgia), Wake Boarding, Skiing, Boating, Jet-Skiing, Swimming etc.
Bring your bikes (or just hike) - enjoy nearby trails- The Selma Erwin Nature Trail, Bartram Trail and Oconee River Greenway (also has a flowing river) are minutes away and are great trails to visit!

Our family weekend stay was completely relaxing. Whether sitting on the back porch enjoying the views of the lake or enjoying the large spaces inside, everyone agreed it was a great weekend. Dana made sure everything went well for our visit from check-in to departure. Thanks Dana!

Jay,
It was such a pleasure. Made me happy to know that y’all were spending some quality time with your mama!
Please come again!!!⚓️🌅⚓️
We had an excellent stay at this beautiful lake house and would absolutely come back. The home was so clean—everything well-maintained, and thoughtfully prepared. The owner was responsive and easy to communicate with, which made the whole experience smooth from booking through checkout. The location is hard to beat, tucked into a peaceful cove that still offers stunning big lake views, so you get both privacy and scenery. We especially loved the fishing—great action right off the dock and throughout the cove, making it perfect for relaxing mornings and evenings on the water. Overall, a fantastic getaway that exceeded expectations.

Francine,
Thank you! The fishing is the best. I am glad you found relaxation and excitement right off the dock each morning and evening.
The house was perfect for our family & dogs. We met all the neighbors and became friends with them as well. This was our second stay at this property. The property owner always was available and made us feel at home right from the start of our stay. You could say the property owner made us feel like family!

It was such a pleasure hosting you and your family for the weekend! Yes! The location is superb, and our boathouse is also extra special! Due to the location, the sunsets are also one of a kind!
Thank you for taking such good care of the big house and the property.
Dana was the most responsive host I’ve ever had. We would probably be friends! :) the early check in is so helpful. Upon arrival we were very comfortable. The home so spacious. The rooms are huge and the closets are even bigger. So comfortable for multiple families. The lake access was the best. Great for little kids. We spent countless hours on the dock swimming and floating. Would 100000% stay here again.

Thank you for submitting a review.
I would like to inquire about what request you found offensive? I genuinely would like to know because I want to be mindful for future guests. Feel free to text me.
Hmmmm…My checkout instructions are minimal and very common amongst vacation stays. I even ask that the beds are not stripped for the convenience of my guests. Again- please let me know.
As I said- thank you for choosing the Big House. ☀️⚓️🐢🏡
Kindly,
Dana
The views were amazing. We could sit on the deck all day and night. There was more than enough room for everyone. The house was very clean and had everything you would ever need. We had a wonderful time with family. The lake was great for taking the boat out for an evening cruise. Dana was a wonderful host and available for any concerns / questions we may have had.

We had another wonderful week with our children and grandchildren! This is our third time at the Big House. We love the location and the beautiful sunsets! The young kids love playing in the shallow water on one side of the dock and the older kids love jumping in the deep water on the other side of the dock. Perfect for all ages! The host, Dana, is great to work with!

SO FUN.
My family and I visited this beautiful home in February. Despite the frigid temperatures the views were astonishing. It is such a peaceful place. We enjoyed going to downtown Milledgeville for dinners. Also, visiting the Ritz-Carlton on Oconee was a treat. They had a fire pit down by the water in which we grilled hot dogs and made smores. The home is equipped with everything as if you are at home!! I definitely recommend this vacation spot!

Last minute booking that turned out great. The place had plenty of rooms, very clean, 3-4 minute drive to town and a beautiful view of the lake. My family went for a short trip to wake board and surf. This property had a boat house to keep my boat covered and a dock attached for the kids to swim while my wife and I watched from the covered seating area. All in all this place is perfect for a get away to the lake. Also the marina is super close to this property so launching the boat and getting to the house was very easy. Happy customer!!!

I can’t say enough great things about this place! The location is a perfect mix of quiet and convenience. There are so many places to sit and unwind outside, ranging from the huge back porch to the covered area on the dock. There also is a lakefront fire pit area that contains a very relaxing outdoor patio swing. The house is located in a cove which allows you to have the ideal blend of quietness while listening to the sounds of nature. The view of the lake is absolutely beautiful along with the stunning sunsets each evening. The area is perfect for your furry family members because of the spacious yard and easy access to the lake for swimming or dock diving. The house is quite roomy, and it can easily house a large family or group without feeling like you are on top of each other. It was extremely nice to have four full bathrooms to give each of us our privacy. The Master Bath shower is a must! You will not want to stop showering because of the water pressure! The house is rather accommodating, offering a huge variety of furniture, kitchenware and linens. The home design and decor are extraordinary, blending modern designs with historic character. You will feel as if you are in the heart of Georgia with the peach designed dishes, Serveware and pictures. Regarding safety, this property is more than safe. It is tucked away off the main roads in a quiet little nook on the property. It is difficult to even know this property exists unless you know it is there!!!!

What a perfect weekend! There were plenty of comfy beds and baths with a generous supply of linens/towels. The kitchen was well-stocked. The living area was comfortable…inside and outside, on the back deck, lawn, and boat dock. The view was priceless, beautiful azaleas and right on the lake. The lawn is gently sloping, beautifully maintained, easy to walk to the lake and easy for the kids to play in. The big kids enjoyed corn hole, fishing, and kayaking. Quick access to groceries and necessities. Convenient to our celebrations in town. Beautiful and gracious home and host. Highly recommend!!

About the host
Hosted by DANA BROOKS
Hello there! My mother purchased the lake front property in 1993 from a brick mason (you will note the brick accents). She took great pride in designing this 'little bit of heaven' to provide a nice 'haven' for those in need of quality family/ friend time. It is also one of the most peaceful spots on the lake to provide a lot of R and R if needed. The thing that attracted her the most are the 'breathtaking, hypnotizing SUNSETS!! I inherited this sweet place in 2013, and have found comfort in knowing that other people are doing just what she would have loved for them to do--- find happiness, peace and contentment here! I would love to have you and yours!!
