About this property
FishHook - A Lakefront Cottage - Close to the Water! Relaxing lake area!
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!"

Absolute gem tucked into the lakeside. 15 minutes into downtown yet you find such a quiet retreat with every amenity you need taken care of. We plan to return (:
Such a special property and an amazing thoughtful host! My favorite feature of the property was the historic charm and lakefront views. Adding to the experience were thoughtful welcoming touches by our host like snacks for humans and our pups with a handwritten welcome note. So sweet. The screen porch across the entire back of house was amazing. We enjoyed watching the deer grazing in the morning & the birds singing. If you treasure the simple meaningful things in life rent FishHook cottage - you will be so glad you did!
Excellent location, well appointed and clean. My elderly dog was so happy and grateful to be at lake and enjoy nature. It was a long ride but well worth it. Would stay there again.
Debbie was very welcoming, including leaving delicious pastries and snacks for us to enjoy. The house is beautiful and the setting is exceptional. The inside of the house is gorgeous and comfortable. The screened deck that overlooks the water is beautiful. We had no problems figuring out how to use the amenities. The neighborhood feels very safe and is quiet. Communication with Debbie was great. I would definitely stay here again!!

This home was absolutely wonderful and we enjoyed our stay very much! The location is beautiful, the atmosphere was so relaxing and the accommodations were amazing. The host, Debbie pays so much attention to detail, makes you feel very welcome and is incredibly accommodating with your schedule stay. ..
We could not have been more pleased with this cabin directly on Lake Lanier! Everything from the kindness of the host, to the quaintness and peacefulness of the property, was exactly what we were looking for. We hope to return again because we had zero complaints.
Fish Hook is a picturesque cabin on the lake. It is cozy and tranquil. The location is perfect for easy access by boat and a quick drive to the grocery store or town. The cabin was perfect for our family of 5. We loved the fire pit for s’mores and the porch for morning coffee. We will definitely be back!
We had the best time! Debbie made sure we had all the check in info and even a welcome card and some snacks! The cabin was so clean and exactly what we hoped for! We’ll be back again!
We enjoyed our stay! The porch is fantastic! It provides a nice view of the lake and of local wildlife. We saw deer and herons.The bed in the primary bedroom is surprisingly comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and more.It is very quiet there, perfect for a getaway.
