    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.

    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

    The home was beautiful and had everything a large group of people would need for a nice trip. The host was incredibly responsive and kind. I had asked many questions the weeks leading up to our stay and she answered them all. Between the comfort of the home and kindness of the host, I would stay here again.

    Our stay was absolutely fabulous! Couldn’t ask for anything more and the house was stocked with everything you could need. The games were a hit for the older and younger kids, the pool table, hot tub. Something for everyone to do. The host Jess was fantastic, quick responses and so helpful! Thanks for a great trip!

    We reserved the house to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday and everything worked out better than planned. Not only was she surprised, but she is now wanting to visit and stay at this house during the summer months, preferably during the 4th of July week. Would love to take advantage of the screen porch and deck in those summer months.Jess, the owner of the property, couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating - we had three young children with us and they needed afternoon naps, so Jess allowed us to arrive earlier than planned. I assume she was thinking about us later since she offered us a late-checkout too, and this turned out to be the best offer of the weekend!The house was perfect for our family - we used 5 of the six bedrooms, and everyone had space and privacy. Every bedroom/bathroom was beautiful and fully stocked with everything needed by a family. The kitchen was also stocked with everything needed, and had some items that I wished we had at our own home!Even tough it was extremely cold in Galena that weekend, the hot tub was used constantly - I think they were nuts, but they had fun being outside I guess.Lastly, every single person thanked us for a great weekend and loved this house. We look forward to working with Jess again, and wish to thank her for her service, communication and thoughtfulness in making this weekend a memorable time for my wife and family.

    Jess is an amazing host, who answered every inquiry immediately and communicated all instructions for occupying the residence in a timely and thoughtful manner. The property is in excellent condition, with very thoughtful and complete amenities, for cooking, bathing, entertainment, etc. Everything you could want was carefully planned for. We had 12 people (7 adults and 5 teenagers) and everyone had a great time. The dining table was a highlight for our family, as we were all able to enjoy meals together. The Wi-Fi and the streaming service for all of the TV's all worked flawlessly. Should the occasion arise, we would definitely rent this property again, and will highly recommend it to family and friends.

    We had our annual family vacation at this property. It was the perfect home for our needs. The bedrooms and bathrooms accommodated our three families really well. We also really enjoyed the screened room and deck. It is located close to the Owner’s Club which we took advantage of as well. Also the property owners were extremely easy to communicate with and we hope to stay there again.

    This was the perfect home for our family gathering! We had so much room to hang out and the dining table was amazing. This was the best-supplied VRBO I’ve ever stayed in - it had everything! The ability to use the owners club was fantastic and the house was just a short drive from downtown. The hosts were communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. We loved our stay and would book again if we return to Galena.

    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.

    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!
