Stayed Dec 23, 2025The house was spotless. The kitchen was well stocked and there tons of small touches like hand soap and extra throw blankets. The furniture was very comfortable as well as very spacious rooms. A wonderful experience! I would highly recommend A Gathering Place.

Stayed Nov 21, 2025Wonderful stay over Thanksgiving with our 3 boys (22, 20, 17) and my mom and dad. Plenty of space for everyone to have time together and separate. Daily games of Scrabble and puzzles were enjoyed by my mom and boys. House was well stocked with everything we needed - even for our Thanksgiving meal. My husband used the smoker for his first time smoking our turkey and it was delicious! My mom was able to navigate the first floor easily with her walker and the main bedroom had a walk-in shower for her use as well. It was about a 90-minute drive for our University of Alabama students and then less than 30 minutes to Cullman for groceries and we went to the movies once.The driveway is crazy steep, but my parents parked right by the front door with no issue. There was no way my mom could have made it to the water but we knew that due to all the steps and it wasn’t a priority for us this time of year. We all enjoyed the water views on the back deck with our morning coffee.Highly recommend this home and location!

Stayed Aug 28, 20253 levels of open space, room for everyone! The house is beautifully decorated & the kitchen is fully stocked. There’s a huge porch off the back overlooking the lake with two large tables & plenty of seating for 16. Great gas grill with smoker for grilling up dinner while taking in the view. There’s a huge game room / tv room downstairs along with extra beds & a private bathroom. This home is absolutely Beautiful. No detail left untouched - a definite 10 outta 10!

Stayed Jun 13, 2025Easy location from 65 and plenty of room to spread out with six adults and six children. The downstairs was a great hang out for the youth. This was by far the best stocked rental we have ever experienced.

Stayed Feb 27, 2025This house was perfect for 4 to possibly 5 fishing teams . We had 3 boats and had room for more. We left tackle on the boats every night without worry and had less than a ten min drive to Smith Lake Park.The house was perfect for ten of us with 6 beds downstairs for the kids.

Stayed Jun 19, 2024We enjoyed our time at the Gathering Place. It was in the mid 90’s during our stay and the house mantained a cool temperature throughout. The house has been updated and is nicely decorated. They have kayaks available for rent that we used everyday. We would highly recommend.
