Gin Creek

This review is for the cottages at Gin Creek Plantation and the wedding venue on property. The landscape is absolutely beautiful. We stayed in a two bedroom cabin with one queen bed in one room and two full beds in the other. The place was very clean and cozy. The screened-​in back porch was a perfect place to drink a cup of coffee while looking at the lake views. There’s even a boardwalk to walk right up to the lake. The wedding reception area was so nice and the outdoor bar/​dance floor had enough space for people to dance and mingle. We loved walking around to take in the sites and hear the wind chimes placed in certain trees. Doug helped us with anything we needed and his cute rottweiler was so sweet! I would come back to rent a cottage or two with some friends to enjoy a relaxing weekend.

Visited the Thomasville tasting room during the July 4^th weekend and was throughly impressed. Staff was warm and welcoming. Didn’t order any food but tried their wine slushies (they had a couple of different flavors but my favorite was the blueberry!) which hit the spot especially in the hot weather! Since then anytime, anyone mentions that they may be visiting Thomasville for the day, I’ve jumped at the chance to tell them to make a stop at Gin Creek for those fantastic slushies!

The new downtown location (Thomasville) is a great date destination. You can try a variety of wines on the cheap. Just wanted to add that their Brunswick stew is awesome! ;p

I can’t say enough great things about Gin Creek and the owner Doug DeMott. He served us at the counter and allowed us to sample his locally grown and bottled wine.
We also ordered the pulled pork sandwich with Brunswick stew. As a connoisseur of Brunswick stew, I found his to be spicy –what I like. Not overly spiced but just right.
We also bought some local cheese and enjoyed ourselves. He stopped by the table to ask about our food. When an owner takes the time to make a customer happy it’s 5 stars in my book. Of course the wine and food warrants the same rank. Another gem in downtown Thomasville.
Our next stop will be to stay in his cottages at Gin Creek Plantation sometime soon. Great looking place from the photos and service we experienced. His Lenoir merlot was perfect.
Kind of reminds me of Meinhardt Vineyards in Statesboro, Ga.
