About the host
Hosted by Geri Chastain
We built this home about 20 years ago, with the lake being the focal point. I'm constantly making improvements and upgrades. We're from the area, and can help our guests with information on anything they may need to know. Our Motto is, "May All Those Who Enter As Guests Leave As Friends." With this motto,I believe that it's my job to look out for my guests, and let all know that No matter the time or need, I'm always available. The guests happiness, health and safety is a priority. In fact, my home is cleaned and disinfected in accordance with guidelines from local health authorities. High touch surfaces,such as light switches, door knobs, remote controls & all shared amenities are disinfected, as are all bedding materials which have been properly cleaned. The pillows, pillow protectors & mattress covers are regularly washed in a bleach wash. I absolutely love topping my guests expectations, and as a renowned traveler,I believe in the Golden Rule. "Treat Others as You Want to Be Treated." Unlike a lot of hosts that I've experienced, I refuse to have fees associated with my amenities, well except for the pool heater. But, here again, I will not charge exorbitant amounts. I've seen some hosts charge as much as $200/hour. I charge $100/day, and realistically, I only charge that when the nights get cold or it's quite windy, which releases the heat from the water much quicker. So, to share a little about myself, I thrive on seeing people really enjoy themselves while building memories to last a lifetime!
Why they chose this property
We chose this location because of the location! We're literally minutes away from the best that Lake Lanier has to offer & minutes from Historic Downtown Buford. It's a short, scenic drive to the gold mines & wineries of North GA, and in 30-45 minutes you can be n downtown Atlanta with the Zoo, Cyclorama & the World of Coke. The access is an added bonus. My home is easy to get to, as are the restaurants, the grocery store, and just about anything you can think of. And the folks in Buford are laid back & genuine, which gives the area an aura of the place for Fun & Relaxation!
What makes this property unique
My property offers many unique options that few can compare to. Location, location, location. As well as the unmatched amenities!
