About this property

The Gathering Grove

Summary:

$327–$670 per night

The first thing you notice is the glow — string lights strung low over the backyard patio, fire pit crackling, kids laughing on the playground while the adults settle into Adirondack chairs with something cold in hand.

This is what 5 bedrooms and a fully fenced lot looks like when it actually delivers on the promise: total relaxation for every person in your group, all at once. No one is stuck at a hotel down the street. No one is left waiting for a table. Everyone is under one roof together.



The Space:

This five-bedroom, three-bath home sleeps up to 12 guests across seven beds — and every inch of the layout is built for families who want to spend real time together.



On the main floor, the primary suite has a king bed, a dedicated desk, a wall-mounted TV, and a private bathroom with a beautiful double vanity and modern black fixtures.



The second main-floor bedroom also has a king bed. The third main-floor bedroom has a queen bed and a desk — both share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a full tub and shower combo.



Head downstairs to the basement for two more bedrooms. Bedroom 4 has a queen bed plus a single bed, a wall-mounted TV, and a walk-in closet big enough to actually unpack.



Bedroom 5 has two twin beds — perfect for kids or the solo travellers in a larger friend group.



The open-plan main living area is where the group naturally gathers: a white leather sectional sofa, a brick fireplace with a mounted TV, a beautifully designed blue-cabinet kitchen with butcher block counters, and a long dining table that seats 12 to 14.



When the evening calls for more entertainment, head downstairs to the game room — pool table, foosball table, wet bar with mini-fridge, and a large wall-mounted smart TV.



Traveling with little ones? A crib, Pack 'n Play, high chair, baby monitor, baby bath, children's dinnerware, and outlet covers are already on-site. You don't need to pack or rent a thing.



Tucker sits 20 minutes east of downtown Atlanta — close enough to everything the city offers, quiet enough to actually unwind when you get back.



Stone Mountain Park is 12 minutes away: hiking, the summit tram, the famous laser show, and over 3,200 acres that keeps kids occupied all day.



Heritage Golf Links is 8 minutes out for the golfers. Over 100 restaurants are within 8 minutes — Tucker's downtown strip has great casual dinners and weekend brunch options.



Bigger Atlanta experiences: Georgia Aquarium (30 min), Mercedes-Benz Stadium (25 min), World of Coca-Cola (25 min), Six Flags Over Georgia (35 min).



Hartsfield-Jackson

Airport is 30 minutes — ideal for groups flying in from different cities.



The home sits on a quiet cul-de-sac backed by mature hardwood forest. You'll hear birds in the morning, not traffic. Real privacy and real access to a great city.



Evenings here tend to linger — and that's exactly the point.



The backyard is fully fenced, so kids and dogs can roam freely while adults claim their spot around the fire pit.



String lights run the full length of the patio, turning an ordinary evening into something worth staying up for.



There's a gas grill on the deck for outdoor feasts, a gazebo with Adirondack chairs tucked into the garden for quieter

conversations, and a deck table that's perfect for morning coffee with a forest backdrop.



The private playground — swings, a climbing wall, and a tube slide — gives kids their own territory. A wide open lawn is ready for cornhole, soccer, or whatever game your group brings.



With the yard fully fenced, pets stay safe and parents actually get to relax. This backyard is the reason guests book early and come back every year.



The basement game room doubles as adult entertainment hub and rainy-day rescue for kids.



You've got a full-size pool table, a foosball table, a wall-mounted smart TV, and a wet bar with a mini-fridge.



The kind of space where someone always stays up too late and nobody regrets it. Perfect for post-dinner

pool tournaments, late-night movie sessions, or keeping the energy going long after the fire pit burns low.



Adults claim it first; kids find it by the second day and never want to leave.



Self check-in via smart lock — no waiting around, no coordinating arrivals. Your access code is sent before you get here.



Quiet hours are 10 PM to 8 AM out of respect for the neighborhood. We welcome up to 3 pets (30 lbs max) for $100 per pet per stay — just add them to your reservation.



Free parking for 5 cars on the driveway, plus free street parking.



Instant Book enabled.



Superhost Svetlana has been hosting in Tucker for 6 years with a 100% response rate and a reply time under an hour. If something comes up during your stay, she's genuinely there.



This home works for the groups that are hardest to plan for: family reunions where every generation needs their own space, friend groups celebrating something worth celebrating, Atlanta visitors who want a real home base instead of a hotel block.



Great for bachelorette and bachelor weekends, corporate off-sites, multigenerational family vacations, and World Cup trips.



Book now and see why 179 guests have given this home a 4.94-star rating — summer weekends fill fast. And once you've had the backyard at dusk with the fire going and the string lights on, you'll understand why guests keep coming back season after season.



Guest Access:

As a guest, you can enjoy access to the entire home, including the large fenced backyard, the children’s playground, the high-speed wifi, the games, and the pool table. The only part of the property off-limits is the maintenance closet. We welcome pets for an extra fee of $100 per pet per stay, and they must be included in your reservation request.



The Neighborhood:

You’ll be out of the city traffic in a wooded residential neighborhood in Tucker, a friendly suburb just northeast of Atlanta. Tucker is a family-oriented community with many amenities for growing families. Over 230 acres of Tucker are parks and green spaces with lakes, creeks, trails, playgrounds, and sports fields.

Tucker is centrally located to nearby cities of Decatur, Stone Mountain, and downtown Atlanta, all of which offer an abundance of award-winning restaurants with food from almost anywhere in the world, must-see attractions, sporting events, and shopping.



Interaction with Guests:

I am happy to communicate with you from 8 AM till 9PM seven days a week.

At night time my responses might be delayed. Thank you for staying with us!

About the host

Hosted by Svetlana

Host profile image
As a journalist I travelled all over the world, and I did not want to stop when my son was born. My boy made 37 flights with me before he even turned two!
It was mostly fun, except for the housing part. Hotels are just not designed for kids. We needed a play space, our own kitchen, a high chair, and a thousand little things that Moms have to carry everywhere to take care of their little ones.

I was dreaming about a place to stay where young children would be welcomed, and parents could relax. So, I created such space designed for families and opened my doors for you!

Why they chose this property

This large house used to belong to our friends, who were musicians. These walls remember composers and singers! I think that the music is still in the air.

What makes this property unique

We designed this house with families in mind. You will find a lot of thoughtful touches like a grand dining table (seats 12!), or a high baby chair and desks for homeschooling.

Inspired by HGTV design will make you enjoy this luxurious space with all the creature comforts at your fingertips.

Peaceful retreat and yet close to everything. 5 minutes to downtown Tucker, 15 minutes to Stone Mountain Park and famous Decatur restaurants, 10 minutes to Northlake Mall, 25 minutes to downtown Atlanta.

Some other features that make this house special:

Contactless access
Private Playground/Jungle Gym
Pool table/Board games/Mini-bar
Patio+Grill Deck+Yoga deck
Babies welcome - we have 2 baby high chairs, and 2 pack n play
Fully stocked and equipped kitchen
Smart TV+Netflix
Family Dining Table - seats 12!
Parking for 5 cars
Desks in bedrooms for homeschooling and remote work
Hair dryers in every bathroom
Washer+Dryer+Iron
Fenced backyard: 0.6 acres of beautiful grass surrounded by woods
