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 andshade. 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!

    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!

    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!!

    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!

    The whole process was streamlined and easy. You can tell they've been at this a while. The place was clean, the beds were comfortable, and communication was prompt, friendly, and clear.We didn't catch many fish, but my son managed to reel in a decent-sized catfish. Next time we do this, we'll definitely consider staying here again.

It reminds us of bygone days of Lanier Lanier and is located on a beautiful cove.Our Cavalier, Grayson loves it as well.Check in is easy and Debbie is amazing.

    Perfect location to get away for the weekend. The only downside was our boat was a little large for the driveway as it was difficult to turn it around once pulled in. The house itself was beautiful and clean. Lake access was easy and we enjoyed our stay immensely! Can’t wait to come back!!

    Top notch communication with the hostess and the cottage is easy to find. Location is off the beaten path but convenient to Downtown Gainesville, Helen, and Dahlonega. Kroger and Starbucks are 2 miles away. Bedding is comfortable and the cleanliness is excellent. Beautiful brick flooring, open ceiling, and a screen door that took me back to my childhood. A great place to relax and enjoy nature. This was our granddaughter’s first Christmas and we were blessed to get to share it with her in this beautiful cottage.

    This is a special place. it’s so private and quaint. My husband and I enjoyed our time with our baby. The decor makes you feel like you’re at the mountains. This is exactly what we wanted. the home is clean and the kitchen is well equipped. The screened porch was perfect for our baby. If you’re looking for a quiet lake cove with beautiful lake views, this is THE place. Look no further. The host was also very accommodating when we decided to extend our stay. I highly recommend it.

    We had a great time at the Fish Hook! It's such a charming cabin on the lake. The dock is wonderful for laying in the sun. We took our boat and was able to fish and simply rest and relax. I highly recommend. The owner, Debbie, was extremely friendly and had a wonderful response time. We took our Labrador and he loved it too!

    If I could imagine a simple cottage on the lake, FishHook would fill in every detail. From the moment you drive onto the property you are greeted by comfort & beauty. Every room in the home has been thoughtfully organized and designed for rest & relaxation. We have stayed at several cabins over the years, and the detail that sets FishHook apart from the others is the way it has been cared for. This was particularly true in the kitchen. Debbie has not filled it with a bunch of leftover pots/dishes that sort of work. She has filled the kitchen with appliances that work, dishes that make you feel like your meal tastes even better, and knives that actually slice. :) I know that may sound silly, but it is the difference from a cabin feeling like a rental to being your home away from home. The other attention to detail that I must note is the dock & upper deck. Because of the material they choose, you can walk on the deck without your feet being burned and without any worries about splinters. The lounge chairs and table are perfect for a meal by the water! Finally, Debbie was the perfect hostess. From the first moment of interaction on VRBO, she was kind and thoughtful. She didn't hesitate to answer a question and made sure we had what we needed. We had to drag ourselves away from FishHook. It was truly the perfect spot for our family.

    We absolutely loved this lake house and didn't want to leave! We pretty much lived on the screened in porch for the view to the lake. The kids loved going down to the dock and the view from the porch was perfect to keep an eye on them. We swam and fished off the dock and had a great time. The house was immaculately clean, very impressive. Debbie was very communicative, which was great. We will be back next summer!
