The Gathering Lodge is SPECIAL. It is beautifully furnished, the layout is accommodating to large groups and has activities for all ages, the workflow design in the kitchen allows you to cook and serve food easily, and it has plenty of spaces to join in for group activities and spaces to get away tot enjoy a quiet conversation with someone. But more than that, this home creates an atmosphere that beckons you to laugh, to love, to forget about the cares of the world, and just be in the moment with the people around you. I stay in VRBO rentals quite frequently, and this home, by far, has been my favorite. I WILL be renting here again, the Gathering Lodge is SPECIAL!!
