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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
We were a group of 7 women and had a fantastic time at this home! There are 6 bedrooms (4 of which have en suite bathrooms and the other two pretty much have their own private bathroom in the hallway). The home was clean and the downstairs area had its own small sink, refrigerator and bar area. The home is stocked with all the kitchen supplies you need AND coffee. The fridge has an ice maker and filtered water as well. It was cooler during our stay so we didn't get to use the sunroom, but the hot tub was amazing! The home is also very close to the spa (1/2 mile). We didn't use the clubhouse, but in the summer that would be fantastic. Check-in and check-out was a breeze as well and response times were immediate. We are already talking about staying here again!
House was amazing! Clean and well stocked with everything we needed.

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.
Our group of 12 had a wonderful experience at the property! There was adequate spaces for all of us together or to spread out and have our own space. It was close by many things to do that fit everyone’s interests. Jess was fabulous to work with and was extremely responsive to our questions and making everything go smoothly from check in to check out!
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!
We all enjoyed our stay. There we eight of us, all seniors there to play golf.
Potentially interested to stay there again. Either 4/28 thru 5/2 or 5/5 thru 5/9. Are either of these dates available/cost?
Would it be possible for you to consider adding regular tv to your cable service? The bedroom/bathroom on the main floor needs a new flapper as it is not holding water in the tank. The gentleman staying in that room would turn off the water supply valve at not. Overall - wonderful home. Thanks

Let me start by saying, Jess, the owner, is remarkable! She is friendly, gave clear instructions and tips. The place is really cozy, yet very spacious. The bedrooms are big with 6 bathrooms. My family and I really enjoyed our stay in the Gathering Place
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 often visit the Eagle Ridge Territory to celebrate Thanksgiving. As our family has grown we've had to find bigger houses, and this has been one of our favorites yet! Plenty of bedroom space to give everyone their privacy, and a great common area and huge table to fit everyone for meals, movies, and family games. A wonderful stay!
