Overall good house and configuration for multiple families, we stayed with 3 families and everyone has their space and still plenty of space to gather.
My family of 14 rents a house in Galena every year for Thanksgiving, and this was definably one of our favorites!! The house was clean, comfortable, and well stocked!
This is our second experience with Vrbo and both very well was what was advertised. When I needed to ask the Host anything they were very responsive to answer any questions. If the occasion occurs will definitely contact Gathering Place again thanks again to our host!
Our family enjoyed being able to extend our time together over the Holiday at your property. It was large enough for all of us to be together and had plenty of room to spread out if we wanted to. Thank you for this opportunity to make memories that will last a lifetime.
We utilized this location for a work event! This home has everything you need with plenty of space for everyone to “stretch out”. It is convenient for the downtown area, but still gives you that “out of the city” feel. The owner was very helpful in making us aware of all the amenities of the house. We will definitely stay in this property again.
Wonderful, spacious home with everything you could want or need! Jess, the owner, was helpful and excellent at communication prior to arriving and then upon our departure. Home is beautiful and accommodated our group of 13 with great ease! Equipment for the 1 yr old in our group was wonderful! A very beautiful and comfortable home!

The Gathering Place is remarkable. Our family celebrated an anniversary. There was room for everyone to spread out and enjoy the many amenities. The design and attention to detail is very special. The host was most accommodating.
We had 6 couples get together and everyone thoroughly enjoyed both the “Gathering Place” as well as Galena’s shops and great restaurants. It was fantastic that each couple had their own bathroom. The house was well stocked and all communications were prompt. We hope to make this an annual event.
The gathering place was a excellent choice for our large family. It was well stocked with supplies, toys & games. Most of the bedrooms had their own bathroom. Location was great for everyone.
Good location and well suited for our group of 12. All had their separate private areas for bed/baths. House was clean and property managers were responsive to our needs. Very children friendly.
Property was very nice! Big house with plenty of space. Loved that most rooms had their own bathrooms. Perfect house to get away and just hang out with family. Would definitely stay again.
We had a great stay with our family. This house accommodated our family’s needs perfectly - spacious with plenty of room and entertainment for all, from the games, to the pool table, to the hot tub and access to the owner’s club. We will definitely stay here again!
Fantastic home that has everything you need in a prime location within Eagle Ridge. Owner communicated every detail ahead of time and even reached out during some bad weather to make sure we were okay. Can't recommend this place enough!
Nice place for a family reunion or just meetings friends
Jess is a great host and was very accommodating on our requests during the check in and check out process. It is a nice home for a family reunion or meeting up with friends.
Great place to stay! We have a large family and it had plenty of room for all of us. Multiple bathrooms, bedrooms and a hot tub which is always a plus! Beautiful area 😊
