Chestatee on Lake Lanier Reviews

3.9 / 5 (8 reviews)
"I have been very familiar with HOAs for 20 plus years, however, this one and its officers are merely seat fillers. Lack of homeowner interest has introduced special assessments into a community of retirees without rhyme or reason. The community is fully funded by the homeowners, and the board pretty much does what it wants with self promotion and back patting. The community itself is beautiful and has a few nice residents and plenty of pompous clubs to join. I doubt a day goes by that I don't get an email from HMS for some rule that someone has broken somewhere. We have neighbors (or brown shirts) that turn each other in for something just to gain attention. Had I know we were moving into Germany I would have passed this place up. "

"Chestatee in Dawsonville is the only community on Lake Lanier to offer golf and boating Marinas. The residents are friendly and genuine. There are many social activities, the HOA board works hard to address any concerns and are working on plans for community improvements. The Golf Course layout is friendly and challenging at the same time. The developer needs to make substantial improvements to the course, particularly the bunkers. Despite the increase of new home building the developer has yet to secure a builder to add new homes, preferably with a smaller footprint for those wishing to downsize but remain in the community. New shopping and restaurants have increased what had been limited retail options. Close to University of North Georgia and quaint Dahlonega. "

"Chestatee has potential to be a little sister to Reynolds Plantation. We built our lake home in Chestatee in 2002 and the community was very fresh and vibrate. There has been significant degradation in the last eight years. The homeowners are now in charge of the HOA and the HOA Board lacks vision and the developer has checked out. It is sad to see a community with so much potential decline so quickly. Thank goodness we built on the lake, otherwise we would not continue to make our home in Chestatee. "
