Perfect location for relaxing getaway

This home was so welcoming and comfortable. We were visiting my mother who had moved to a nearby assisted living facility in Stuart. It was a perfect spot to take her to spend time with us. We will surely be back.

Family Getaway

My family had a wonderful time. This location was perfect for our visit to Fairy Stone State Park, Floyd, Meadows of Dan, and a couple of other small towns. Although our river float plans were rained out, there was plenty to do at the house. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook family meals. It was a wonderful experience.

Wonderful place to stay

The house was clean, and the necessities were all provided. We've stayed there multiple times and have really enjoyed our stay. The house provides so much for our large family. The only concern we had was the deck. It seemed to not be real sturdy one side especially. Otber than that everything was wonderful.

Our Motorcycle trip

We stayed at Rick and Christy's property for 2 nights on our motorcycle trip from Canada to Tail of Dragon, their place was ideal for 6 of us with plenty of rooms and the kitchen had almost everything for cooking a meal. Just a note to our fellow bikers; the driveway from the road to the house is gravel and it is a bit challenging to ride, please be cautious.

Perfect Place!

Beautiful home! Clean, homey, provides everything you could need. A very private setting, however close to everything. For those of us who stayed at the home and for those family members that lived locally and visited, we had the best time. We laughed, told stories, played Corn Hole, cards, took walks (and saw a bear), shopped, barbequed on the grill, made meals in the well stocked kitchen to share with family, and the best thing of all we made great memories. This "Gathering House" is true to it's name. A wonderful experience for our entire family. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing property

Rented the house for a 3 day weekend to meet up with some friends and go to a local event that was happening. House is clean, with plenty of room for the 6 of us (all grown men), fantastic yard and just an all around awesome visit. Will be returning for a family vacation soon. Can't go wrong with the gathering house.

Canadian Thanksgiving

None of us are Canadian, but it makes a convenient annual holiday for three brothers, with their wives, to get together. Sometimes we are joined by cousins, but it happens because they promised their mother before she died that they would always remain close to one another. We enjoyed the spacious house and beautiful grounds as we relaxed and enjoyed being together. It was very welcoming and was perfect for our visit!

Great location

Beautiful home snuggled in a mountaintop! My family had our Christmas get-together here and we had a lovely time. Great location and a well-equipped kitchen. I thoroughly enjoyed a soak in the large jetted tub! The only thing was we couldn’t get the fireplace to come on. I messaged the owners about it and they quickly responded that there were instructions in the visitor notebook that was there with various information including how to turn on the fireplace but alas no dice. So just a heads-up for any future guests although to be fair “fireplace “ was not listed in the amenities (so my bad) I just got confused when I saw it in the pictures. Otherwise a very nice getaway. I enjoyed exploring the creek and we lit up the fire pit on the large deck. Too bad it wasn’t snowing lol.

A Breath of Fresh Air

The Gathering House is a gorgeous, meticulously kept home. It was even better than described. We had more space than we needed and the kids loved that there were so many toys available to use. We really enjoyed the property, walking down to the creek, and exploring in the woods. We had this magical moment where we came upon a fawn drinking from the creek and she bounded away when she saw us. Beautiful. We enjoyed wine on the deck watching the fireflies come out and then coffee at the oversized dining table. There was a book with great local favorites of things to do and we managed to check out three different Stuart "must-see" spots. It was truly a wonderful stay. My six-year-old was a little disappointed that we couldn't stay forever. While extremely rustic and removed, the house is so convenient, with Walmart, Wendy's, a wonderful restaurant, and Stuart's downtown area literally less than 5 miles away. I hope to stay again, and probably will bring more people!
