Fantastic for large family gathering. Plenty of room to spread out. Kayaks and fishing were certainly a bonus. Any questions or concerns were promptly addressed.
So awesome!!! Everything as described.Gerri was very attentive and quick to help us and respond. She went above and beyond! The beds were all so comfortable and everyone had enough space to move around the view was absolutely breathtaking and not a long walk to the dock. We had three boats with plenty of room! Kitchen has everything and more, plenty of linens, towels and paper goods for the week! We will definitely be back again.. The best visit to Lake Lanier ever!

Awesome! I'm so glad that you were able to have an incredible memory creating get together!
Overall, the property was well represented by the listing and was fully stocked with everything you may want to enjoy some time at the lake. There are some maintenance issues that need to be addressed but beyond struggles with pool cleanliness they are all manageable. The owner is fantastic and really tries to make sure that everything is set for your visit. She lives right next door and is available it seems like instantaneously. She even messaged us after the visit to ask if we’d left something behind.

I'm Always available for anything that may be needed! You guys are fabulous and it was a pleasure having you. I strive to offer a top notch experience & as for all maintenance, I stay on top of it, weather permitting, and to be honest, the amount of rain this year has made it a challenge!
Our family gathered at this property for our Thanksgiving holiday and we enjoyed our stay. Property manager, Geri, was hospitable, communicated with us as often needed and was very accommodating. Property was spacious and lake view relaxing. I highly recommend this property for your next vacation.

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!
