We live just down the road and work on the property in our spare time. We and our team handle the maintenance and management with as little interruption to guests as possible. Routine outdoor maintenance for the 40 acre property is typically scheduled after 10am for lawn, pond, hot tub, firewood, etc. Hot tub maintenance is communicated with guests in advance. .

We are in a rural location with plenty of space between neighbors. Even with space, sound can travel. We ask that you be considerate especially after 10pm. While the properties are set back from the road by over 300ft, you can still hear some light traffic noise from the front porch occasionally. These two properties are across the driveway from one another.

- Long driveway with private parking for 40+ vehicles
- Both homes are rented together and share only the driveway entrance; each has separate living spaces

Gather family and friends in two neighboring homes with a private pond, hot tub, sport courts, and lots of space for dining, games, and fireside fun. (shared drive way)

This property is well maintained and the hosts really thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and accommodating! We used this location for a business planning retreat and we had more than enough space for our group of 8. We will definitely be back!

We had a 5 night stay using both the retreat house and the barn for a family reunion. The retreat house was well configured for handicap accessible on the main level. Lots of great activities for young kids through adults. Will definitely be back!

My family had a reunion at The Gatheryng this month. This included over 35 family members from 6 states. The Retreat, The Barn and the grounds were impeccably maintained, extremely well appointed, and very comfortable. We enjoyed meals together in the Retreat, swam in the pond, used all of the games provided (pool, ping pong, shuffle board, fuse ball, rock wall, etc.). There was plenty for everyone of every age to do and plenty of quiet space too. I highly recommend this venue not only because the facilities were fantastic but because Lisa and Rich were informative, welcoming, and extremely responsive. Thank you for being the perfect place to make new memories and facilitate my parents meeting 4 great grand kids for the first time and celebrating their 70th anniversary with (almost) the whole family!

My husband's family were the original owners of this property and built the main house, tennis court and smaller lake. We were amazed at how beautiful the renovation of the main house and barn turned out! Every convenience you could ask for. The weather did not cooperate, but it didn't matter because the house and barn are configured perfectly for large gatherings! We couldn't have been happier with our stay and will try to come back once a year! Thank you for sharing this beautiful property with our family and friends.

We couldn't have been better cared for during our recent stay at Evergreen Acres. Lisa and Rich are so hospitable and quick to respond to any little question. The homes are attractively decorated and so clean and welcoming. The women who gathered for our retreat were blown away again by the beauty of the space and the thoughtfulness of the hosts.
10.0 / 10.0
We wanted a retreat location that felt like we were going far outside the city, but that was still close enough or we weren’t wasting a whole day traveling, at 30 minutes from our office location was tremendous, there were so many options for Spaces and different environments all within the two homes. All of the furnishings and amenities were top-notch, but I think what really set this place apart was the pre-planning and care given to our stay by the House Manager and the owners, I felt like it was a boutique planning company more than just a short term rental. We will definitely be back.

We loved the home and enjoyed our stay tremendously. The jacuzzi was amazing! The home was very clean and very well stocked with kitchen appliances. We would stayed again!
