The Gathering House , large pool retreat for families, friends & pre-bridal fun

We loved staying at your place with our family over the July 4th holiday weekend! The air conditioning was great, the backyard was so fun for the kids and grandkids and when we were inside there were enough rooms and spaces for everyone to find their own spot! Thank you for a wonderful weekend away from the hustle bustle of the big city!

Host was very responsive.

House was very nice, with a few quirks. Beds were comfortable. The house seems to have been added onto over time: one bedroom is on the complete opposite side of the house from the others, and that room has only a half bath. Which means anyone staying there has to walk all the way to the other end of the house to shower. The kitchen was basically well-equipped, but we couldn't find a corkscrew, and the only measuring cup was large (no sets of measuring cups, so it was hard to measure, say, 1/4 cup). The hot water heater did not work when we arrived. Because the owner had given us no alternate way to contact her, we had to send a message via VRBO (no direct contact phone number), then wait until after 8 am the next morning to hear back. A plumber was quickly called, the water heater had to be replaced and that was done by mid-day. So no showers the first evening or first thing in the morning, but fortunately we were flexible and didn't have major evenings until later that day. All in all, the house suited our group of women very well, was conveniently located and we had a wonderful stay!

This property was so cozy and comofortable for a group of writers. We found the multiple spaces helpful for working on our projects but the huge kitchen/dining/breakfast area was perfect for our gathering times! Areas of the home are comfortably worn, but it was clean! The outside space was spectacular and we even had a couple of warm days to enjoy the outdoor seating areas. If you have group members with mobility issues, the toilets on the main floor are all very short.
