Private Lakefront Spread: BigH2O, Smokehouse, Spa, Firepits, Fence, PETS

The Fish Camp at Lake Sinclair is a MUST-VISIT property for those who love lake life with all the amenities & privacy, including a massive fenced-in yard - we’re kid & dog-friendly too! It’s the perfect lakefront spread for ☃️winter & 🌸spring retreats, 🏈sports-watching, ⛳️golf outings, & 😎R&R. Treat yourself to a relaxing, therapeutic escape - enjoy that morning beverage on the back deck in the rocking chairs or hot tub overlooking the grounds as the sun streams through the tree canopy across big, serene water views with the soothing sounds of wind chimes nearby - and don't forget to fire-up the gas 🔥pit to stay cozy. And that’s just the start of your day as there's so much at your disposal - rustic cookhouse/open-air lounge with wood-fired grill & fireplace, fenced-in backyard, large dock, multiple outdoor porches/decks, spa, hanging swing area with wood-burning firepit, sandy beach, great fishing, 2 kayaks + 2 stand-up paddleboards, tons of yard games, hammocks, gas grill + firepit, numerous smart TV's with free streaming entertainment (movies, shows, music, games, etc.), tons of board games, and so much more!

*Grounds/Structures:*
The property is a private and expansive compound right on the lakefront that consists of multiple structures and areas:

-Charming main A-frame cabin (Bluecat Cabin) serves as the primary house; there's also a screened-in side porch & open back deck with spa, gas firepit, and gas grill.
-Vintage cottage (Shellcracker Cottage) allows for additional guests who might desire some extra privacy.
-Fun garage loft (Largemouth Loft) also allows for additional guests with some additional entertainment features such as a Lounge & Co Crash Foam Pillow and Roku 4K Streambar.
-Rustic cookhouse/open-air lounge (The Perch) provides a completely separate screened-in outdoor living space with wood-fired grill & fireplace along and smart TV with free streaming of almost anything.
-Chill dock area is quite large and perfect for fishing, lounging, lake activities, and of course nightly star-gazing!
-Expansive backyard offers a spacious fenced-in area (kids/dogs), hanging swing area with wood-burning firepit, sandy beach area, and a huge spread for hammocks, yard games, and chillin'.

*Indoor Spaces:*
The Fish Camp sleeps up to 12 comfortably with a total of 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms – with multiple renovations, new fixtures & hardware, updated lighting, and fresh interior paint. The main A-frame cabin (Bluecat Cabin) provides a large main-floor primary suite with King bed + full bath (with smart TV), second-floor primary bedroom with King bed + full bath, powder room for your convenience, great room with towering, vaulted ceilings and full entertainment setup, kitchen that is super well-stocked with custom cabinets and granite countertops, and massive + unimpeded windows throughout for stunning, big-water lake views from the entire house. Adjacent to and just steps away from the main cabin, you'll find the cottage (Shellcracker Cottage), which is absolutely perfect for those additional guests that might need a more private and quiet setting. This space exudes a very vintage charm about it and like the main house, has all the amenities one might want - including 2 Queen beds with wood-paneled headboards, kitchenette area (with sink, mini refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave, & accessories), full bath, and comfy lounging/sitting area with a smart TV + desk setup. Guests can also enjoy the loft above the garage (Largemouth Loft), which has some additional fun entertainment features such as a Lounge & Co Crash Foam Pillow and Roku 4K Streambar; this area includes two full-size daybeds, kitchenette area (mini refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave, & accessories), full bath, and another spacious lounging/sitting area with a smart TV + desk setup.

If you have to work or take a few calls, you’ll find several ideal areas for that, and the blazing-fast WiFi covers the entire property spread. Smart TVs (along with streaming devices and smart speakers) are also provided all around for your entertainment - including full access to YouTube TV, Disney+, HBO Max, Netflix, Apple TV+, Hulu, Apple Music, Apple Arcade, and more. You'll also find indoor/outdoor Bluetooth lantern speakers in each structure along with a ton of board games for those rainy/lazy days - more on the outdoor activities below.

*Outdoor Spaces:*
The grounds are expansive and there's so many activities for the whole family to enjoy - including a new massive fenced-in backyard (kids/dogs) for peak privacy and security! Towards the lake, there's a large wood-burning firepit area with 2 hanging swings, 4 Adirondack chairs, wood rack and cover, and killer lakefront views. Spread-out across the massive lawn with yard games (Cornhole, Kan Jam, Spikeball, Yard Jenga, volleyball set, and football) or use our multiple hammocks for snoozing. If the water is calling your name, the rare sandy beach is just steps away and great for easy lake access (for the kiddos, pups, and kayak/stand-up paddleboard launching), or go wet a line down at the dock - we even have some extra fishing poles! At the dock, you'll find plenty of seating, 4-person café set + large umbrella & stand, AM/FM + bluetooth radio, pool noodles, life jackets, and numerous other amenities! And if that wasn't enough, we include 2 kayaks and 2 stand-up paddleboards onsite too! Back at the main cabin, there's a screened-in side porch for lazy afternoon loungin' & sippin' and an open back deck with the gas firepit, 6-burner gas grill, rockers, and a full outdoor dining set with umbrella & stand - and don’t forget about the hot tub to really get relaxed with amazing lake views! Finally, if you really want outdoor living at its finest, head-out to The Perch (cookhouse/open-air lounge) to fire-up the wood-fired grill (or fireplace) while having a night-cap and watching your favorite show/movie/sports with friends and family - there are even heaters and fans in this space - ENJOY!

*Closeby Amenities:*
Although super private and peaceful here at The Fish Camp, you're also very close to all the amenities to make things easy and smooth for your stay. Groceries, shopping, great restaurants/bars, and fishing gear/supplies are all close-by - 5min to Twin Bridges Landing/Marina, 15min to Eatonton, and about 20min to downtown Milledgeville - even DoorDash delivers! There's plenty to do around the area if you want to get out and about, including boating, water sports, golfing, hiking, 4-wheeling, and even various historic sites. A quick golf and/or spa day-trip is also close and easy - pick from a plethora of golf courses around the area - and The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee is only about 35min away. You're in Georgia's Lake Country, so relax and let loose!

This was the perfect property for our family to go to! Close to things to do but yet you also feel like you are away from it all. Trippe is an amazing host who was very communicative. We will most definitely stay here again if we ever need to unwind.

Everything was wonderful during our too short 3 night stay. Cleanliness and comfort went above and beyond. Communication with the owners was A+++. I cannot say enough about all that the home has to offer. We would love to return during warmer weather to experience all the lake has to offer. The welcome gift of wine and all the fixings for smores was greatly appreciated! Hoping to return with family next year. Thank you to our wonderful hosts!

We love staying here! Trippe is a fantastic host! The property is well taken care of and had everything we could possibly need during our stay. Trippe is very attentive and checked in periodically and even gave us some tips on moon watching! Already planning next years visit.

We stayed at the The Fish Camp at Lake Sinclair as a family gathering spot. We picked this property because of the way it was laid out - with a main house and 2 separate "cottages" steps away, so that everyone could have their own private space. Each space was extremely well appointed and everything you could want has been provided - grills, hot tub, dock, firepits, paddleboards, kayaks, fenced yard (for pups), Bluetooth speakers all around, tv streaming services, life jackets, floats....... too many things to name. The (inside main house) kitchen is extremely well stocked - we found everything we needed! The outdoor screened kitchen/smokehouse is just WOW - so cool!!! The hosts are the best I have ever dealt with - extremely helpful and accommodating. They were very welcoming and checked on us throughout our stay to ensure that all was well. The house was very clean (and I am very picky) and everything is in great condition. The setting is just beautiful. We all want to go back!!!

My husband and I have stayed in many VRBO's over the years. I can NOT say enough about this place and the host. I've never stayed in a place so clean and the attention to detail is by far over the top. And SO organized; labels on everything and instructions. And the place, amazing!! The water views; amazing! The sunrise over the water; amazing! The house and other buildings; amazing! The host; amazing! Sent me a text to make sure we had what we needed, had any questions and was always available if I did. We were there for Superbowl and he wanted to make sure we knew how to get the big game on. :) Not always so simple with technology that you are not familiar with in someone else's home. So in closing, no other word fits simply because it was amazing! :) I felt at home, cozy, and didn't want to leave. :)

Everything that was advertised plus, this property is beautifully set up and well maintained. Everything was organized and there was great detail in making sure that you had whatever was necessary from the kitchen to the dock. We will be back and if you rent this property you will be back also, awesome place.

Great place! We really enjoyed it. Communication was timely, easy. Place was better than expected. The place with the fireplace and TV was great for relaxing, football and s’mores…. The hot tub was excellent and the views of the lake made us forget the bustle of the holidays very quickly! Highly recommend

We had a wonderful two night stay. The place was fantastic. Trippe has thought of everything. Our group enjoyed the hot tub, kayaks, paddle boards, and the dock as we brought our boat. The best thing was having so many different gathering areas, inside and out for people to hang out and visit. Young adults and older adults had areas to congregate so we were together but not too together!

This has been by far the most accommodating property I’ve booked! My husband, our two best friends along with our fur baby stayed 6 nights here. The views and property were absolutely stunning. With extremely convenient access to the lake including a beach front entrance into the lake! Incredibly well stocked kitchen and stunning decor. Plenty of activities on site like board games, card games, yard games, paddle boards and kayaks! Not to mention great communication throughout our visit checking in to ensure we were enjoying our stay and that everything was exceeding our expectations! Will return in the future! 5 Stars all around!

Cannot say enough good things about The Fishcamp at Lake Sinclair! Perfect setup for our family of 10. The beach/sandbar area was great for our little ones. Our 8 and 10 year olds loved staying in the loft bedroom. Has lots of great amenities. Great deck on the back and screened porch on the side. Trippe was the best host. Recommended boat rentals and closest grocery stores and kept in contact with us the whole time we were there. Any questions we had were answered immediately. Accommodations were clean and beds were comfy! Thanks Trippe, for a great vacation!

Fish Camp at Lake Sinclair is the cleanest and most well equipped rental I have ever stayed at! Everything you need is there! There is something for everyone, even the kids and your pup! Bring your clothes and food and you won’t have to leave until you’re ready to go home!!! Trippe is the most attentive and contentious host we have ever dealt with. He is very responsive and super helpful. He makes you feel like this is your home away from home! Look no further, Fish Camp at Lake Sinclair is your next family Lake vacation!!!

Amazing vacation spot! We are normally beach goers but decided to give the lake a try and this cozy oasis did not disappoint! The 3 separate living spaces made it an ideal spot for our family of adults, teens, middle schoolers, and toddler. Everything was perfect! It was very clean, comfortable, and the accommodations were so thoughtful! The “extras” were so appreciated. Every area is decorated so nicely, with ambiance lighting, making this the coziest getaway spot. The host, Trippe, was so communicative and made the entire process effortless. We all had the best time and will be back!

Everything about the house and the property was perfect. It's not a cookie-cutter rental without the comforts of home. You feel like a real guest in a well-cared for home. The owners have thought of everything. As beautiful as the pictures are, they don't do justice to the actual property.
