Relax & Retreat
Make the most of the late-summer rays by recharging waterside with a lakefront home rental on Lake Sinclair. Whether you are looking for a spacious modern property that sleeps 10 or a cozy rustic escape for a few, there are plenty of styles to choose from. Many rentals have docks, sandy beaches, and fire pits for perfectly roasting marshmallows; some even include paddleboards or kayaks for you to use during your stay. Lake Sinclair is home to some of the best fishing in the state for largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie, and catfish. Many homes are located in a quiet cove of the lake and are perfect for fishing off of the dock and even come with fishing poles for guests to use.

If a slower pace of water-top activities is more your speed, rent a kayak.

Local outfitters will rent you a kayak for the half or full day as well as provide transportation to drop-off and pick-up sites. If you aren’t feeling up for an epic solo trip, there are small group floats available down the Oconee River as well. Plan your trip to get on the water with our locals Mac's Yaks or Oconee Outfitters.

With stunning views of Lake Sinclair and The Club's golf course, Aubri Lane's offers an upscale dining experience featuring award-winning seafood such as crispy calamari, sesame-seared ahi tuna, and shrimp and grits. Their shrimp and grits, with perfectly cooked shrimp and creamy stone-ground grits, are particularly noteworthy for their additional topping of tomatoes and collard greens.
A day in the sun will bring out anyone's appetite. Taylor’s Cove overlooks Lake Sinclair and offers outdoor seating in addition to its fabulous menu items such as oysters prepared in a variety of ways, dynamite shrimp tacos, and pimento cheese dip. They have two full bars and host live musicians every weekend, so exploring local talent while getting a delicious meal is a great option.
