We had a great time hanging out. This house has a great amount of space and is a great getaway for our group. This was our second time staying at the house for part of our retreat and we enjoyed our stay.
We stayed here comfortably with 11 people. We were a considerable drive away from places we needed to be while visiting, but we knew that going in. Really loved the property and how quiet and secluded it was.
The cabin was one of the highlights of the trip. We melted right in to the warm and welcoming feeling of the property. Everything was as advertised; it exceeded my expectations.
We fished in the morning and came back to the cabin for what seemed like a six hour lunch. It was so comfortable we didn't want to leave.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are glad you enjoyed our cabin and felt right at home. We look forward to hosting you and your party again.
We enjoyed ourselves with relaxing and much needed down time! The cabin was amazing, clean and cozy! Tucked away on a private road allowed for the perfect back drop!
Henry was easy to work with and had no problems at all!
Will definitely be returning to The Kings Gathering !
We had a great time at this house. We had 9 guys and had plenty of room, we could all fit around the dinner table for meals, and split between the table and the couches for hanging out. The house is just a couple of minutes to the river which made it really easy to get there and back. The fire pit was great to relax by at night. This was a clean, spacious house and I would definitely stay here again.
Had a nice stay here with my family while attending a family reunion in the area. Spacious accommodations for all of us in the house in a large piece of wooded property was so much better than staying in individual hotel or motel rooms in the area. We were also able to save money as we did not have to eat meals out. The kitchen and dining area was spacious and well equipped.
The only drawback was the finished basement area which was very musty smelling even after running the dehumidifier for quite a while.

Very Nice House to rent.
The house was everything that was described in the info for the house. It had very comfy beds and also plenty of cook ware and dishes. We had 12 guys for a fishing trip and we had plenty of dishes and pots and pans. the Fridge is also a big one and has lots of room. Henry had wood ready for a fire also. The only thing we found bad was the bugs were real bad. But we will defiantly be back next year for another stay for our fishing trip. Also parking was great for our 6 boats and didn't even have to park in the grass and had access to plug ins for the boats also.

Thanks for staying with us Mike. We're looking forward to host your fishing club again next year!
Great time at this cabin! Plenty of space for 2 families (4 adults, and 5 teenagers). Easy to find and no problem parking our 2 trucks and 2 trailers. The cabin was clean and as pictured...beautiful! Owner was great to deal with! One downside on the location was that some of the local ATV trails were club owned and we couldn't ride on them unless we were members. We would've had no problem paying a fee to ride but the requirement of working at least 1 day per year on trail maintenance seemed to really be saying "locals only" (we were from out of state). Other than that, we loved our time up there and wished our long weekend would have been longer!

Hi Janelle,
I am glad your family had an enjoyable stay and thank you for taking the time to post the review. For future reference, the Oswego County ATV club which runs the nearby trail do allow you to purchase an annual family pass for like $35 or $45 without having to do the work day. I think one family pass includes up to 3 ATV stickers.
The place is big, yet very comfortable to stay in. It was designed just right for a getaway cabin. The owner is very easy to communicate with. This was my second time staying here, and look forward to more.
The cabin is quite large and nicely furnished. There were plenty of linens and many extra hygiene products there. The kitchen had anything you could possible want or need. The location was perfect and close to ATV trails.
The cabin was large enough to accommodate all 12 adults, but is actually better suited to 10 adults and perhaps 2 kids.
We had a wonderful experience at The Kings Gathering. We stayed for a long weekend of snowmobiling and had an amazing time. The layout and location of the cabin would make an amazing stay for anyone looking to retreat from everyday life. It is in close proximity to the trails which were in great shape for the low snow winter this year. Lots of great stops along the trails and amazing scenery. We like to move around to different locations usually for some variety of snowmobiling but this one is definitely on our return list! Thank you for opening your property up to us and providing an place to stay.
Stayed at this house for a snowmobile trip with 12 people. House was plenty big enough and had everything we needed. Henry was quick to answer any questions I had. Thank you.
My family and I had a fantastic time at Henry's property. The cabin is extremely comfortable and can accommodate a large group without it feeling crowded. The extensive property grounds are also great and should be explored!
Henry was very responsive and facilitated a great check-in and check-out process.
