About this property

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.

Fantastic Stay

I had gone to visit my freshman daughter who was very homesick :( This was such a perfect place to stay. The cottage felt like little house on the prairie! The original walls and floors are amazing and the antique furniture makes it cozy and fun. You get the beauty and soul of the cottage, but with modern amenities (great climate control, great hot water and water pressure, super clean). The owners are very responsive and accommodating. It is only about 4.5 miles from GCSU West Campus. We will definitely stay here again!

Quiet, country stay

The Fish Cottage is a very rustic, small cottage on a farm/farmette. Growing up on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, my grandparents had a farm where I spent weeks with them in the summer. Our stay at Fish Cottage brought back all of those wonderful memories - except no crowing roosters in the morning! Fish Cottage is a very quiet place to relax and unwind, but close enough to restaurants and town (I snuck in a trip to TJMaxx) that you can have the best of both worlds.

Historical country cottage

This was a delightful experience. I loved the cottage and the solitude; it was wonderful to sit on the porch in the morning and evening, listening to the birds and watching the squirrels. The surprise gift of a mini-loaf of sweet bread was so delicious, and the eclectic furnishings were intriguing. I would love to come back.

Excellent!

What a beautiful, cozy cottage/cabin! We enjoyed the recorded history of the home, as well as looking at every lovely furnishing and finish, which all melded into a comfortable, peaceful, relaxing stay! Our hosts were kind and attentive. The grounds were also beautiful and enticing with hiking trails and a lovely creek flowing through. It was a wonderful stay, and we look forward to another lovely stay at this amazing property soon!

About the host

Hosted by David T. Perry PHD

Host profile image
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.
