About this property

The BEST Views on Lake Sinclair - Welcome to The Escape Hatch!

Get away from the hustle-and-bustle at The Escape Hatch on Lake Sinclair! Our home sleeps 13 and has unmatched views of Lake Sinclair. The sunsets are particularly amazing!

Relatively removed from the noise & congestion of any towns, The Escape Hatch offers a fun basecamp to relax and reconnect. Our three-floor home features a living area, kitchen, 1/2 bath, and Master Suite on the main floor; 2 bedrooms, a full bath, laundry room, kitchenette and family /game room on the bottom floor; and a loft bedroom with it's own bathroom and great views of the lake. We have a stunning wood-burning fireplace in the living room; a propane fire pit on the porch; and an outdoor firepit on the water. The porch is fully screened offering views of the lake - no better place to listen to the wildlife while rocking in a rocking chair or lounging on the outdoor sofa. There are also two spacious open-air decks, the upper of which features an outdoor dining space. Like to cook? Use the gas grill on the deck or we have a small charcoal grill available as well. Relax in the porch swing as you watch the sun set, or have a glass of wine on the dock. Other amenities include high-speed internet, cornhole, darts, two tvs with Roku/Firesticks, and lots of books, games, and puzzles. Check out the stars at night with our telescope - the light pollution on this part of the lake is minimal, offering great views of the nighttime skies.

And don't forget about the real star of the show - beautiful Lake Sinclair, named the cleanest body of water in Georgia! Enjoy access to a canoe, 2 kayaks, and floats galore. Our boat is not currently available to rent, but you can bring your own OR rent from several nearby places. The fishing at Lake Sinclair is also epic - we have several fishing rods to help you grab your catch of the day.

Located 30 mins from downtown Milledgeville by car (5-10 mins by boat); an hour and 30 minutes from Athens, and 2 hours from the Atlanta airport, The Escape Hatch is close enough to enjoy and far enough away to REALLY enjoy!

Our house isn't fancy, but it's fun...the best place to make memories with your own friends and family members!

Please note: our home is not ADA-accessible and is not suitable for small children, especially children who do not know how to swim. There is also no land-line telephone at the property - cell service only. QUIET HOURS are in effect from 11:00 pm to 7:00 am as a courtesy to our neighbors.

A great lake weekend!

We came for memorial day weekend and had an absolute blast. This house is one that's really lived in instead of one made for Vrbo, and it makes a world of difference. The bedside tables have iphone charging cords, the boat house is full of fun floaties, and the living room has games and dvds to watch. It's a very cozy house with an amazing view and a perfect dock for spending all day swimming and lounging in and on the lake. The host was very responsive and gracious, even offering to compensate for tiny inconveniences we had. All my friends and I would be delighted to come back!

Spring break 2024

April 2024 this was a nice 3 level home with plenty of room for a large group of travelers .the house had enough essentials for cooking at home meals as well as large gas grill for outdoor cooking. the view from inside the house was spectacular looking out across the lake and watching the sun go down. the back yard had enough space to play yard games. the fishing was good whether at the dock or on the boat. the host was very gracious greeting you , making sure where to find things in bad weather conditions and answering any questions. this was a great place to stay with family,

Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024

About the host

Hosted by Beth Edwards

Our daughter graduated from the University of Georgia in 2023. In February of 2020 - just before Covid hit - we were trying to find a place to stay for our daughter's UGA Fencing tournament. It was a parent's weekend or something in town, so we couldn't find a hotel that was available. We stumbled upon Lake Sinclair and rented a house in the Crooked Creek area. We loved the quiet charm and quirkiness of the area, and when Covid hit we began thinking about a place for our family where we could spend more time together. We - along with our parents - bought The Escape Hatch in November 2020 and have loved it ever since. Unfortunately, we live in Florida a lot of the time, and since our son is still in school in Florida we cannot re-locate fully. We are there quite literally as often as we can be, but in the meantime we decided that our place should really be shared with other families. We have had hours of fun and laughter and memories on the Lake, and we hope you will have that same experience too.

Why they chose this property

Our house is fairly remote, yet has lovely, friendly neighbors and unmatched views of the open lake. The sunsets are really show-stoppers!

What makes this property unique

We aren't a real-estate company or "investors" - we actually love the area and the people, and we think sharing our home with others is a great way to use the property when we can't be there. Our house is also on a point, and has amazing lake views and sunsets you really have to see to believe!
