We 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.

Needed a place to stay that was big enough to accommodate cousins for a family reunion. This house was amazing.

This home was wonderful. It was one of the cleanest places we have ever stayed, which we appreciated so very much! The kitchen had everything we needed including emergency flashlights that came in handy after a storm took out the power one evening! We also appreciated how each drawer was labeled and everything was easy to find! They even had sippy cups for kids, we were impressed! There was lots of room for us to unpack our food in their large fridge and open cabinet space. The bedrooms were very large and the beds were so comfy! Ben and Lela have thought of everything guests would need and enjoy on a vacation. We loved the games downstairs, and the large seating areas on the back porch and the kitchen! The dock was lovely, and we enjoyed being able to get on the water in kayaks, it was worth the extra fee! Over all, wonderful stay, great communication with the hosts and we appreciated their kindness and understanding! Would book this again and again!

We enjoyed our stay! The house was very clean and well organized. Everything was labeled which was a great idea. The host was very nice and reached out to us to make sure our stay was going well, which it was! We rented a pontoon and had a bass boat that we brought and were able to dock them both at the house. We spent almost every minute on the lake as the lake is absolutely beautiful! We had two families stay and it was more than enough room. Loved everything about the trip. I hope that we can go back again soon, thanks!

Our four families had a great experience at The Gathering Place! It was enough space for everyone (total 13 people) but not so big that we lost each other. The "kids" (who are now all age 18-23) enjoyed the lower level and the dock, lake and kayaks. We rented a boat from Cappy's and had a great day tubing and exploring Smith Lake. We've stayed at many different rentals - this was one of the best organized and well-stocked kitchens! Bedding was great, and bedrooms are good-sized. Having enough seating in the main area for everyone to be at a table for meals was a huge plus. Ben and Lela could not have been more responsive. They welcomed our many questions and always replied very quickly. They were GREAT hosts!

This home was perfect for our large family. Plenty of things to do for the variety of the ages. The kitchen was well equipped with cooking utensils made for a large group. The 2 washer/dryers made it so much easier keeping up with the laundry. The large living room/dining room area made having meals together and playing a murder mystery game great fun since everyone could participate at the same time comfortably. All together this home really helped make our annual family vacation to Smith Lake a real success!!!!!

Our three families from Texas and Louisiana gathered at The Gathering Place at Smith Lake for a relaxing lake vacation. The house was more than large enough for our six adults and three children with plenty of room to spare. We especially enjoyed the great variety and quality of cookware enabling us to cook meals each night. We also made use of the grill, grilling on the patio several times. The dock was perfect to tie up our boat and swim in the water. Smith Lake Park was nearby where we relaxed at the beach area. The house was very clean. I wouldn’t hesitate staying here again!

We loved this house! So spacious and beautiful! We do trips often and this is one of the best houses we have stayed at. Things we absolutely loved… ORGANIZATION! We couldn't get over the cabinets labels and all cooking utensils. We loved how much y'all supplied ALL the things-10/10 on the best house with supplies. The shampoo, conditioner, body wash and hair dryers. So amazing! You know with kids we forget stuff. We loved the instructions for everything. All The details are just perfection! We never had to pull up VRBO and look for anything, it was always right in front of us. The guest book and binder-Cork board is seriously amazing! This house was one of our favorite homes we've all stayed at. We've done this trip for 13 years and this year we brought our kids, skipped the beach and chose the lake, and this house was just perfect for that. We always love owners that communicate with us and we try to give feedback when we can. We are going to mail you guys some koozies from all of our weddings YEARS ago 😂 Thank you guys for a beautiful home and stay. We all live in different places now and we couldn't have enjoyed this more.
