Ginny is a wonderful host. She responded immediately to any questions we had. She ensured my family had everything we needed, including local coffee, a bottle of wine, a gift basket, and doggie treats. The home is beautiful, comfortable, and well laid out. We had a great family reunion. Thank you so much, Ginny!

Why they chose this property

Tanglewood Shores is a beautiful, peaceful golf community that we love with friendly neighbors, community pool and playgrounds that is across the water from our favorite waterfront restaurant, Shady Shack, and 5 minutes away from our favorite local vineyard, Rosemont Vineyards.

What makes this property unique

Hemlock Haven has direct views of the beautiful Lake Gaston. It’s on a calm area of the lake with deep water, includes a private dock for relaxing, fishing, and playing with a small private beach and lake toys to include a paddleboard and kayaks. We love kids & pets and welcome dogs at no charge. The home has been recently renovated to enhance the beauty of the home. We want our guests to have the best experience and strive to provide 5 ⭐️Southern Hospitality.
