About this property

FishHook - A Unique Lakefront Cottage - Close to the Water! 10% disc thru May 12

FishHook is a timeless and unique “Hemingway style” cottage, offering an unforgettable Lake Lanier experience. A “stone’s throw” from the shoreline, this home sits less than 100 feet from the water’s edge at the mouth of a wide cove with deep water and main channel access. A private, two-story double slip dock is just steps away down a gently-sloping, grassed lot and is well-equipped for your stay on the water with plenty of options for lovers of sun and shade. There are both dining and bistro tables, swivel rockers, lounge chairs, and umbrellas, and at the end of the day, make sure you take a leisurely stroll through the 2 acres of Corp-owned property adjacent to our lot and celebrate the sunset!

Within minutes of your arrival, you'll realize that FishHook is truly a special place, full of character and nostalgic charm – a one of a kind lake cottage. Extensive stonework highlights the home’s exterior -- accenting a patio, fire pit and summer kitchen -- while the home’s tongue and groove wood interior plays up to an artful blend of vintage and new. Rustic lighting, rich wood and fabric accents, natural fiber rugs, and bamboo occasional pieces have been tastefully blended with new inspiration to create the signature "Hemingway" style. Original brick floors ... vaulted, suspended beam ceiling ... brick fireplace and louvered windows maintain the charm of this quintessential lakeside cottage while granite counter tops, stainless kitchen appliances and new hardwood floors in the bedrooms add a modern flair.

You’ll fall in love with the open floor plan and simple living of this single-story cottage. It's a layout that allows you to really enjoy the company of those you call "family". The kitchen, family room and dining room all open onto a spacious 10’ x 30’ screen porch complete with dining table and additional casual seating. The kitchen is fully-equipped, even for the most discerning of chefs, and meals can be served informally at the eat-in island with seating for 5, at the dining table with seating for 6, or alfresco on the porch. There are two beautifully appointed bedrooms – a king master with half bath and flat screen Smart TV and a second bedroom sleeping four in a twin over full bunk and separate twin bed. Indoor amenities include central A/C and heat, wood-burning fireplace, ceiling fans, AT&T U-verse, WiFi, 50" flat-screen Smart TV, DVD player, and stainless dishwasher, stove and refrigerator.

Under a canopy of native hardwoods, the house benefits from generous amounts of shade and invites you to let the outdoors in. Enjoy the cool breeze off the lake from any number of places – the screened-in porch that runs the entire length of the house, the stone fire pit patio with Adirondack chairs, or the outdoor kitchen. With 180 degree lake views from most anywhere on the property, your only decision will be, “Where do I want to spend the next hour?” You'll never tire of the beautiful views that surround this place.

So, if you're looking for a place that will take you back to an easier, simpler time, a place to reconnect with yourself, family and friends, then we invite you to experience FishHook! We hope you leave "hooked!"

Tranquil Lake Cottage
First off I would like to thank Debbie for being an excellent host. She was very responsive and the most thoughtful host we have ever had. The treats for us and our pup were a very welcoming touch. Thank you so much for sharing your charming lake home with us. It is a little slice of heaven on the lake. The daybed on the screened porch overlooking the lake was my favorite place to relax. It was a short easy walk to the lake. We enjoyed the new dock. It made bringing our boat a breeze. We used Thompson Bridge Park to put in which was less than 10 minutes from the house. We had to use this boat ramp due to the length of our truck and trailer. There was also an area at the house to park our boat trailer which was very convenient. We will definitely be back!!

Weekend trip for youth regatta
Great lake house. Very clean and comfy. Fantastic view of lake from the dock. We were able to easily access Lake Lanier Olympic park for our youth regatta. Had fun playing in the lake and enjoying the view. Slept my family of 6 well. I would definitely recommend and would come back.

Perfect Getaway !!!
My husband and I are thinking about relocating to Georgia. We also wanted a few days to relax while we explored around Georgia. Fishhook was the perfect getaway! The atmosphere in and around the home is very relaxing. We would sit out on the enclosed patio after dinner at sundown each evening to enjoy the view of the lake. The home if very comfortable and has everything that you need, including great reception from the Wi-Fi! Debbie was the perfect host and answered all of our questions. The house was very clean and welcoming. I am hooked on FishHook. Our next trip to Georgia, we will be staying at FishHook!!! - Marina
