Hi, I’m Carole! I’m the owner of Gather Vacation Rentals, a short-term rental business with 9 beautiful homes in Utah. With nearly 10 years of experience, I truly love what I do—creating welcoming spaces where guests can relax, connect, and make memories. My husband and I love to travel, so I understand the importance of a great place to stay. That’s why I take pride in offering thoughtfully curated spaces with all the comforts of home. Whether you're visiting for adventure, relaxation, or a special gathering, I want your stay to be as enjoyable and seamless as possible. Family is at the heart of everything I do. My husband and my son, who has Down syndrome, are my best friends. They both love sports—so naturally, I do too! I bring that same team spirit to my rentals, ensuring every guest feels welcomed and well taken care of. I look forward to hosting you at Gather Vacation Rentals and making your stay a fantastic experience!
