100 year old Restored Cottage with modern comforts near Milledgeville Ga. & Lake
Located 7 miles from Georgia College and State University, and Georgia Military College, and 10 miles from Lake Sinclair, this old tenant house is part of a former farm on Fox Hill. The main house was built in circa 1873, during the Reconstruction. This cottage was moved in 2011 from a farm 14 miles away. We remolded and and modernized it, while keeping the original warm atmosphere. It sits 100 yards from the main house, with easy access. There is a galley kitchen with micro wave, toaster oven, refrigerator, keurig coffee maker, and sink. Two large cozy bedrooms provide additional atmosphere. The large shower and designer bathroom sink are added features. There is a sitting room adjacent to the kitchen area with television and DVD player, plus table for eating and games and relaxing and talking. . A favorite feature is the front porch that has a breeze most days, and a view of the main house, pastures and forest, and amazing views of the stars at night. Plenty of parking in large pasture for boats or trailers. You will have privacy and yet not far away from hosts.

We are returning guests, and already can’t wait to come back. We booked for the great location, but it’s Autumn’s homemade bread that keeps us returning!
The little cottage was absolutely perfect for our weekend getaway. The shower is an unexpected surprise & the bed/pillows were super comfortable. The property is so peaceful, we will definitely be back next time we are in the area.
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.
This cottage was nice and quiet. Great location to get away but also close enough to restaurants if you wanted to go out. I enjoyed the privacy. Definitely would stay again if in the area.
We had a wonderful stay. Accommodations were clean and comfortable, and communication with excellent. The cottage was adorable. We highly recommend and will definitely stay again.
Really enjoyed the stay in this wonderful cottage, very clean and quiet. The owners are available if you need anything and quick to respond. I would definitely stay here again.
Property was in great location easy drive to town. Everything was as described. Great place to enjoy nature and a very friendly and accommodating host.
This rental was wonderful, clean and in a good location from GMC. The owners were attentive and even left a homemade treat. I enjoyed my stay. The place had everything I needed.
I want to say oh it’s horrible so no one books our little gem, but it’s too good to make that joke! David is a joy to deal with and the cabin is perfect! Can’t wait to stay again soon!!!!

About the host
Hosted by David T. Perry PHD
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.
