We had such a great time!! Between the boating, the swimming, the ping pong, and the hot tub we just didn’t know where to start. We had a bit of a crowd (11 people) and there was something for everyone. My personal favorite spot was the gorgeous pool!! I was impressed by the never ending supply of towels both in the house and at the pool. My grandson loved the ping pong table and the Pac-Man machine. We had 4 teenaged girls with us who couldn’t get enough of the hot tub. Simply put we had a wonderful vacation!!

Our stay at The Gathering Place was wonderful. The house was beautiful, clean, spacious and exactly as pictured. The kitchen was well stocked with high end pots & pans and appliances. We didn’t get to do a whole lot outside because it was pretty rainy during our stay, but the fire pit and outdoor amenities were there for our use had the weather been better. The walk to the lake was not bad at all and it was so peaceful and quiet. Would definitely stay here again or at any of the Timber Rock Village homes.
