About this house rental
Located on the edge of a beautiful cove on Lake Sinclair, The Cove's End offers peace and quiet away from the hustle of the main lake. Relax on the dock, enjoy great fishing, or kayak in the cove to really take in the beauty of the surrounding nature during the day before you enjoy s'mores and star gazing by the fire in the evening.
Modeled after a ski chalet, this beautiful lake home offers an open floor plan, picturesque views, and enough space for everyone to sit back and relax. Updated in 2021, you'll find a fresh look, new furniture, and an attention to detail to ensure your stay is unforgettable!
The main floor includes the living room, fully equipped kitchen, main bedroom with king sized bed, a full bathroom, and laundry closet. Double doors open to the spacious and gated deck with a propane grill, outside dining, and adirondack chairs. Floor to ceiling windows provide an amazing view of the back yard and lake where you can spy on local wildlife such as otters or blue heron.
Upstairs includes two bedrooms, one with a queen sized bed and the other with two full sized beds, as well as a full bathroom. Each room is fitted with luxury bedding and pillows and includes a smart television for streaming your favorite shows as well as spacious closets for you to store everything away during your stay. Wifi is also provided.
From the house, the backyard is quick ~100ft walk to the water's edge and dock. Enjoy the lakefront views while sitting on the swing or explore the wooded area next to the house (a favorite of our children!).
Of note, while Lake Sinclair is renowned as the cleanest lake in Georgia, our location at the end of the cove can mean that water depths will vary based on weather and the Army Corps of Engineers who control the local dam. When the water is lower, the Georgia red clay which composes the bottom of the lake will make the water appear reddish brown.
What sets us apart from the other locations on Lake Sinclair?
-A full-home water conditioner. We simply didn't love the way the hard water felt during showering or how it left spots on the dishes and we knew our guests wouldn't love it either.
-Fiber Internet - Anything less is just too slow. We want the best for our guests!
-Whole-property insect repellant treatments. While insects are just a reality when you're so close to the lake, we want to you to be able to enjoy your time inside and outside without being "bugged". The interior of the home is treated regularly and the entire property - from the mailbox to the dock - is treated to reduce mosquitoes.
-A Firewood Shed - No one wants to pack and haul firewood on vacation, but everyone loves a good lakeside fire in the evenings. Firewood is provided throughout the year.

House Rules:
Accessibility: Check-In is at 4:00pm and Check-Out is at 11:00am. Guests are provided with a unique key code which is operational only throughout the booking period.
Waste: As with all other properties on Lake Sinclair, trash removal services are not available. Trash must be removed from the home by the guest and taken to the local convenience center located just 4 miles away. Failure to remove trash or pet waste will result in a deduction from your security deposit.
Waterfront: We want our guests to enjoy the lakeside and the provided kayaks. We only request that you ensure water safety and be gentle with the kayaks so that future guests can enjoy them. Life vests for children and adults are provided.
Security: Your safety, and the safety of the property, is at the top of our priorities. There are two security cameras on site. One faces the front driveway and the second faces the back yard amenities including the firewood shed and the kayaks. Neither faces the interior of the home, as your privacy is also one of our priorities. Interference or destruction of the security cameras will result in an immediate cancellation of your booking without refund.

We enjoyed our stay at the lake house. The home was clean and had everything you needed for fun stay. It was great to have all the kayak options too. We would definitely consider staying there again.

We had a great time! We spent most of our time on the dock or in the water. This is a secluded spot , a perfect way to get break free from the hustle.

We really enjoyed our stay! The house itself was wonderful, clean, a great size and stocked with everything you need and more!! The neighborhood wasn’t the best and it’s very far from any kind of store or restaurant so get groceries on the way in. We enjoyed fishing and kayaking! The area in front of the dock is very shallow so older kids didn’t want to swim and touch the bottom but other than that, everything was perfect! We would come again!

Our 4 person family + my parents + our dogs had a wonderful time at Cove's End! We had a blast boating on the lake, tubing, kayaking, bonefires at night, playing board games after dinner with the kids, and exploring the areas history. We appreciate the quietness of the area in addition to the friendly people we encountered. The stay was so comfortable and had everything we needed and more. We will definitely be back.

The Coves End is a fantastic property for family to gather- and pet friendly. Very serene location, waterfront in an idyllic setting. We loved the layout. First floor king bed for us (very comfortable bed, too) with 2 more bedrooms upstairs with an additional full bath. The deck, fire pit, dock and kayaks were an added bonus.
Kitchen is well stocked with all sizes of pots, pans and kitchen gadgets.
The surrounding area is quiet and peaceful.
Great place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Lake Sinclair.

Great Lake House
The house was really nice and clean with great amenities. We enjoyed the dock and the kayaks. And had a great time making s'mores over the fire where they nicely left wood for us. Highly recommend!

It was ok
Owner tried blaming me for a dresser knob that was clearly botched and broken, weather stripping is gone we had water bugs and all kinds of bugs coming I got so many bites I m uncomfortable and out of all things no repellent in sight on a mosquito nest most properties have that if nothing else the store is a hour to get there and back and they only put 1 roll of paper towels and more dish clothes than wash clothes and towels no dust pan dirty silverware had to go get plastic… just a mess

Peaceful & relaxing place to stay!
We had an amazing stay at this lakeside home. It was well equipped for meal prep, included a washer & dryer, & had comfortable beds. We loved that we could bring our pups with us! The kayaks were a fantastic bonus and we used them to explore the end of the cove. Fresh firewood was provided, but unfortunately, we were visiting during a heat wave & didn’t use it.
Do keep in mind that this location is a little off the beaten path, but that was part of its charm. We loved that we had lots of family time. We did do some day trips to Milledgeville & Macon. Recommend renting a boat on Lake Oconee & jumping off “Jumping Rock” and climbing up on the rope swing.
All in all, a great spot to vacation with family. Truly enjoyed our time.

Peaceful get away
We stayed at The Cove's End for a long weekend. The house is lovely, clean, and well appointed and has great views of the cove, sunrise and sunset. It was very peaceful and quiet there - a nice place to get away and an easy drive from Atlanta. The owners were very easy to communicate with and instructions were clear. This is also a dog friendly property, which we appreciate. We recommend this property and would definitely go back.

The bit of heaven!
The Cove was everything we had hoped for. Our communication with Lauren was exceptional, she made us feel right at home with her decorations for Christmas and welcome gifts, the "cabin" was cozy and comfortable, and being on the lake was such a memory maker. You can't go wrong in staying at Lauren's place.

Enjoyed our sisters weekend
Great place for our sisters retreat. The beds were so comfortable and decorations and furnishings made a wonderful setting for us to catch up and work on our crafting projects. The high ceilings and windows provided great lighting and beautiful view. The extra touches the host added, snacks and cozy blankets made for a comfortable place to be. We loved it.

The home was beautiful! The kitchen was well-stocked with essentials. Beds were so comfortable.

Quiet Spot to relax
The beds were very comfortable and linens were nice. We had rain the first couple of days and the dirt path to the water was slippery the next couple of days. I slipped and fell one day. The water was not swimmable. It had a red film and looked gross. We were not able to do any kayaking or swimming which was what we booked a lakefront home for. It was very disappointing. We will not be back.

Loved this place!
Cove's End has made our list of places we'd like to return! Everything felt fresh, clean, and thoughtfully included. From puzzles, games, towels, kayaks, a clean and well-stocked kitchen, bluetooth soundbar to keep it light with music, updated decor and supplies, and comfortable beds, we had a great time. The kids were able to go back and forth between the lake, the yard, and the deck, and we even were fortunate to have two clear nights to see the stars. We're looking forward to booking it again.
