Tucked into the lakeside community of Jamestown is this cozy A-frame that reveals charming surprises throughout its three levels. Guests will have access to five bedrooms, three full baths, and unlimited adventure on the 15,000 acres of Lake Sinclair that wait right outside the back door. With amenities that are sure to please adults (bar cabinet, private master upstairs, hot tub) and kids (foosball, kayaks, waterslide), Sparta Escape easily welcomes both those looking for a peaceful retreat and those looking for freshwater fun under the Georgia sun.


The gravel drive welcomes guests with ample parking - spacious enough for several cars and with the added convenience of sloping to the lower level for easy loading and unloading of cargo. The vaulted great room creates a dramatic first impression with its beamed ceiling, antler chandelier, stacked stone wood-burning fireplace, and clerestory windows with uninterrupted lake views. Two dual recliner sofas with power footrests are at the ready for an evening of Netflix on the flatscreen TV. A side table with USB ports and electrical outlets is a thoughtful feature for keeping devices charged and within arm's reach. Not even streaming options can compete with the surrounding natural scenery, though. Step through the sliding glass doors to the wraparound deck, where sunset conversations can be enjoyed from a variety of seating choices and with the option of a cantilever umbrella. A charcoal grill and a propane grill are both available for use, and it doesn't get much better than cooking up some mean New York strips as the sun descends on the horizon.


The kitchen might first attract attention with its all-new stainless-steel appliances but look upward for our favorite feature: a suspended ceiling of hammered metal tiles! The vintage look is complemented by a farmhouse sink that faces the sprawling backyard. A refrigerator with bottom freezer, smooth surface oven, microwave, and dishwasher are all at the ready. Within a few steps are four countertop barstools and a nearby dining table with two end chairs and bench seating. A Keurig coffee bar adds the finishing touch to the well-stocked kitchen.


Also on the main level are two bedrooms, one featuring a queen bed, flatscreen TV, dresser, and oversized closet storage. The second bedroom is kid-approved with a twin bunk above a lower berth double and with a twin trundle, enough to comfortably sleep four! It also provides a corner reading nook and two storage closets. A shared full bath includes a contemporary step-in tiled shower with a frameless hinged door - ideal for those with limited mobility.


Upstairs is dedicated to the master suite that boasts a loft with a twin daybed and trundle, full bath, and a spacious bedroom with a queen bed, flatscreen TV, dresser, and ottoman bench. Guests will appreciate this space providing a bird's-eye view of the great room while still maintaining its own level of privacy.


Downstairs leaves nothing to the imagination! It showcases a foosball machine, oversized sectional, flatscreen TV, electric fireplace, six-seat bar height table, refrigerator/freezer, coffee bar, microwave, and popcorn machine. A walkout to the covered patio provides covered outdoor seating and access to a rare vacation rental amenity: a hot tub! Of the two downstairs bedrooms, one features a queen bed, dresser, and large closet. With its double twin bunks (sleeping up to four), the second bedroom will quickly be claimed by kids and is perfect for them to have their own space. Down the hall is a full-size washer and dryer.


The star of this vacation rental, though, is what awaits at the end of the paved walkway that meanders through the terraced backyard down to the dock: a double-stall boathouse with two lifts, stairs and two swimmers' ladders that descend into 8-ft waters, kayaks, and a waterslide. Under the shade of the boathouse, adults can relax in the Adirondack chairs or at the picnic table while kids take full advantage of the safety of shoreline water while still enjoying expansive views of the main channel. From the dock, travel west by boat and discover the hidden gem of Oconee Springs Park, a marina (with marine gas), convenience store, family campground, and waterpark that features a sandy beach, playground, volleyball court, paddleboats, waterslide, blob, and water trampoline. Outside guests (non-campers) can purchase a daily park pass, and we guarantee that your little ones will be delightfully exhausted at the end of the day. Just a few steps away from the boathouse is a fire pit surrounded by Adirondack seating, perfect for family s'mores or adult beverages underneath the string lights. This meticulously maintained outdoor space will become a favorite background for photos and memories.


The irresistible allure of tranquil lake life might keep guests from venturing beyond the driveway, but others may want to explore the surrounding community. For basics and menu planning, head south to Kroger in Milledgeville or north to Publix in Greensboro. If you're on the water, visit The Grill at Crooked Creek Marina, which is conveniently located near our property and provides a dock-n-dine experience. Approximately half an hour away are the towns of Eatonton and Greensboro, home to Sinclair's twin-separated-by-dam, Lake Oconee. Both of these areas have historic downtown districts, a variety of dining and retail options, and seasonal farmers' markets, festivals, and events that highlight the easygoing lifestyle of Lake Country.

Lake House
We had a wonderful family vacation and the house was well stocked with all the necessary items to make your time comfortable and fun. There is plenty of things to do with swimming, kayaking, foosball and games. The house was as described and the staff was very helpful. Shopping is a bit of a drive.

Lake Paradise
We had an amazing time at the property. The house was perfect! The bunk room and remodeled bottom floor was perfect for the kids! Three bathrooms was also a great perk for our large group. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking meals at home. We also brought our boat and we kept it at the dock. This allowed us to hope on and take the kids to ski or tube whenever we wanted. We will definitely be booking again.

Fantastic Home for a Great Family Vacation
My family and I absolutely loved staying at this house for our annual vacation. This is the first time we’ve stayed on Lake Sinclair, but would definitely choose this house again in the future if we were to visit Lake Sinclair again! Communication with the property manager was also great, she was incredibly helpful and kind, and always responded immediately. You will not regret staying here!

Thanksgiving family time
We had a great time at Sparta Escape for our Thanksgiving family gathering. The kitchen was very well equipped with cooking implements, as well as silverware. The setting was gorgeous, and we enjoyed the quiet time together. This VRBO was probably one of the cleanest we have seen. Make sure to come fully provisioned with food, because the closest grocery store and restaurants are about a half hour away.

Loved Lake Life
What a beautiful property. The house had everything we needed and more! The dock was the main attraction!! We fished and enjoyed relaxing down there- they have kayaks and a stand up paddleboard. There is very reliable internet tho this house is in an area where there is not good cell reception. We left some items behind and the management company worked with us to get them back. Everyone had such a good time I would not hesitate to return to this property. Thank you for allowing us to use your home!!

Just about perfect
Loved it. House was clean and they had everything you need. Plenty of floats, towels, beach towels, plus a well stocked kitchen. Only a couple very minor things which were addressed during my stays (broken door handle and one umbrella didn’t work well). If you want a quiet week away this should do the job very well. Water is quite warm. You will have some issues with cell phone/5g service coming into the neighborhood but that’s not in the host’s control. Just something to be aware of, so have your app open before you get to the house.

Perfect place for family
House had three floors which was very accommodating for family of 10. Nice pier and dock area. Had floats, fishing poles, kayaks and paddle board, plus slide on the pier. Kids also enjoyed the hot tub. Found a small grocery store in Sparta which wasn't too far away. Very nice place.

Great Family Outing
Looking for a remote getaway, look no further. This A Frame house sits on a gorgeous piece of property that makes you feel like you have found your little slice of paradise. Family of 13 ( 3 different groups) stayed for 3 night very comfortably. Main living area is slightly small for large groups, but extended outdoor living area and down stairs living room increased living area by 3. Beds were all comfortable and water pressure in showers good. The lake and dock were perfect - plenty of kaykes and floats available. Night time lights on deck made for a perfect back drop to wind down your evening while you relaxed in the hot tub. Only flaw in this place - nearest Kroger is 45 minutes away - so come prepared! They have 2 refrigerators - so plenty of space for food.
