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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 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.

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!
