Our family (ages 6 to 67) had a great time at the Gathering Place. There was so much to do at the house and nearby. We were all comfortable and there were plenty of beds. Easy check in and out.
We had a wonderful weekend at The Gathering Place with a group of eight adults, a toddler, and dog. The house lives up to its name — there was plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably, and the common areas gave us space to gather, play games, and actually be together rather than splitting off into corners.The location was great, and the yard was a real highlight. Having somewhere for the toddler and the dog to run made all the difference.If you're looking for a place for a larger group, this one works. We'd happily come back.
This is a beautiful place to gather with friends and family. Well maintained and perfectly located next to town. Would definitely recommend to others looking to stay by the lake.
We had an absolutely wonderful long weekend at this home! We had a group of about 24 people, and everyone fit very comfortably. The house was spacious, clean, and perfect for a large group. The kitchen was also extremely well stocked with plenty of plates, cups, pots, pans, utensils, and everything we needed to prepare meals for everyone.The location was fantastic! We were less than a mile from both the lake and town, which made it so convenient to enjoy everything the area had to offer.We did have the barbecue grill run out of propane shortly after we arrived, but this was handled so easily. Angela was very responsive and easy to get ahold of, and she was happy to reimburse us for the propane refill. We really appreciated how quickly and kindly she took care of it.Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would absolutely stay here again! The only thing I would mention for future guests is that beach towels are not provided, so be sure to bring your own if you're planning to spend time at the lake.
The house was very warm and made sleeping uncomfortable. There is no AC in the basement and even though windows were opened and we purchased fans, it never cooled down. The upstairs was also warm. The main floor was cool, but the majority of the sleeping space was uncomfortable. The owner was slow to respond to my questions. The layout of the house was good along with the location, but sleeping was very uncomfortable.
Great spacious accommodations. Bedrooms were comfortable and clean.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
The property itself is pretty good and in a great location. Had some troubles with certain amenities not matching what is in the listing. Ie: the downstairs has no ventilation, so only the main and upstairs levels have a/c. There were no beach towels, even though those were listed. Bring your own bath soap/shampoo, those are not provided. The host had provided multiple numbers to text, so communication was pretty confusing. Response time wasn’t ideal, but was same day. Overall, good place for the price, but I would’ve given a higher rating if things were well stocked/replenished, and if communication was better.

Thank you for your stay and feedback. Throughout a summer, items tend to disappear from the house. We had fans and beach towels, but apparently guests thought they needed to take them home with them. I am so sorry this impacted your stay. We offer multiple numbers to help with response time and always do our best to respond immediately. Thank you
It was everything we were looking for. Close to beach, close to downtown. The pool and pickleball were close. Great location! Host answered all our many questions.
This property was perfect for our family size. It was clean, the beds were comfortable and the back yard was perfect for a fun family game of kickball.
This home was perfect for our large end of summer family and friends get together. Plenty of room for us to be together when desired and to branch off into other areas in the home for smaller groups. We would definitely stay here again for our annual trip next year.
This property is in a great location and had plenty of room for our family. A close walk to the lake and near other amenities as well. The owner was great to work with and replied quickly to concerns.
