Great place to host our family reunion. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need. Plenty of places for the family to sleep. Great communication with the host!

We had a great time at the gathering place. We loved the area. It was close to all of the places we wanted to visit. The teen boys enjoyed the basketball court. The fireplace for smores was a big hit as well as the hot tub. The kitchen was well supplied. Plenty of large grills for cooking on. Lots of games for everyone.. It was nice to have 4 different areas for gathering.

I rented this house because of the extras they said they offered. I have rented 7 homes in the past and this was by far the worst. The house was dirty, and so many things were broken, not working properly or missing. We came in on the main level, first thing we saw was a torn up entry mat and kitchen light fixture full of dead moths/bugs. The volley ball and basketball area are a joke. The grass/weeds in the area were at least 16" high with the dirt ground being unlevel. The carpet/furniture in the cabin is dirty and stained. We arrived Saturday evening, on Sunday we tried to vacuum. The vacuum cleaner was so plugged it wouldn't pick up anything, it took my husband 30 minutes to fix it. Once he did, he vacuumed and filled the canister 1 1/2 times. In the canister amongst the dirt was dog hair. How does a home with a no pet policy have dog hair in it? The answer is because Island Park bring their own pet(s) into the house. The silverware/utensil drawers had food particles in them so we ended up cleaning there also. During our entire visit we dealt with ants in the kitchen. We ended up purchasing ant poison to deal with the problem ourselves as we had no response from the Park. Kitchen counter space is very limited. Two people working in the kitchen was the maximum it could hold to work comfortably. The pantry was full of their stuff, no room for our food there as you see in video. Pool table is in a small room a short cue stick is needed to play, one is provided. In one of the downstairs rooms is basketball hoop game that is just about the height of the ceiling, It's broken and doesn't work properly. The bedrooms do not have dressers or chest of drawers to place clothing in. The closets are full of their stuff (floor and shelf). The windows in the bedroom that could open were difficult to do so. They provide extra mattresses for guests but we couldn't find any sheets, lots of blankets though. The pull out couch mattress is badly stained. New TV upstairs but they failed to set it up so it was unusable, said they would come out same day to fix but they didn't. Cords for dvd/vhs player were too short so unusable. No guitar, mic for the Karaoke was in pieces. Deck wood and rail need fixing/replacing. Downstairs door was unlocked when we arrived. Communication was good prior to arrival not so afterwards if it included something which needed their attention. We rented 8 days. I wish we could post pictures. Their video is inaccurate.

Had a great time spending a week here. Great communication from property manager. Thank you

The Gathering Place fit our needs perfectly. We had 19 people in our family party, 9 adults and 10 kids (8 of the kids were 5 or younger). The kitchen is well supplied with cookware and basics. The kids slept in the bunk bed room and loved being with their cousins. The setting feels remote but you are close to the activities Island Park has to offer and the west entrance to Yellowstone Park. We would definitely stay there again.

House works well had lots of room for large family of 22.

A few hiccups - dishwasher didn’t work and karaoke broken. Andy out of town and repairman couldn’t fix. Good size for our group, but we did not spend a lot of time there.

We had a great time and enjoyed this spacious rental. It was close to good, fishing and great location to head into the park.

Great location no need to trailer snowmobiles. Clean and welcoming. Well stocked with plenty of stroage room.

The cabin was big, beautiful, well stocked with everything we needed. WiFi worked great, close to the river, fun things to do at the cabin such as volleyball and basketball. The host is quick to respond to any questions and very helpful. We would make the same decision of where to stay if we could go back and do it again.

The Gathering Place was the perfect spot for our family reunion. Teara and her husband are the greatest of hosts. Response time is phenomenal. I emailed her a question a couple of months before our reservation about how much parking was at the house (there is plenty!) She called me within minutes She had a wealth of information and since I had never been to the area it was greatly appreciated. The house was large, clean, well stocked with plenty of seating areas and places for eating. The beds were comfortable; there were plenty of nice linens and towels. Often times, we go to a house and it's hard to feel "at home" there. This was not the case at The Gathering Place. It is a very homey environment and we immediately settled in. We filled the house to maximum capacity and it never felt overcrowded. They provide the most amazing folder of information that I have ever seen at a house rental. While at the house, there were a couple of times that I needed to text her and her responses were always immediate. I just can't say enough good about the hosts! I've already been asked by 3 relatives at the reunion for the contact information about the house. I see more wonderful reunions happening there.

This house was perfect for our large family of 25! We loved the kitchen stocked with everything we needed to cook, serve and eat food; We also liked that there were plenty of towels, there were several areas to sit and relax and mingle, everyone loved the hot tub, the access to streaming was convenient, and there were PLENTY of bathrooms! The only main "complaint" is that the wifi wasn't always reliable, but it worked often enough that it wasn't a huge issue. The owners communicated well and were quick to respond. This place met and exceeded all our needs! We want to come back again during summertime!

We have never been to the Gathering Place before and were pleasantly surprised. It is large, clean, and we came only to sleep after we were at a wedding in Island Park but we did enjoy the pool table and Jacuzzi. We are glad we stand for the night instead of driving home that night. We found a place we can't wait to rent again for our next vacation. If you forgot anything in your packing they had everything you would possibly need. We would give them more than 5 stars if we could. Great place and a great price.

We had a family trip to Yellowstone, and chose the Gathering Place to stay in. This property had everything we needed including a whole room that all the kids could share. We were close enough to enjoy Yellowstone, and in the evening we would come together to prepare meals, enjoy the hot tub or sit out by the fire pit. We all loved it!

The owners were very accomadating ! The kids enjoyed the fun things to do. Enough room fir everyone

The Gathering Place was easy to find. Truck and trailer parking was good. Cabin was the perfect size for our group. From the cabin we could easily access the groomed trail system for Island Park.

We rented this house as our Christmas gift to our family. We have four married Children and 12 grandchildren. One only a month old! This house was perfect, we had the best 6 days of games, movie nights, puzzles, snowmobiles, playing in the snow! This house had everything we needed! Teara was amazing and always available for questions!

We had a wonderful time. The property worked well for us. Thank you

The owner stay in contact to make sure everything was ok. We had plenty of room. Beautiful area.

We had grandma & grandpa, aunts & uncles and kiddos aged 5 - 21; everyone had a great time at the house and on the property.

We were only there for a short stay, but everything was wonderful--clean, pleasant location, full amenitiies

The Gathering Place is rustic and homey with plenty of space for eating, sleeping, playing and family activities. Our family of 22 ranging in age from 4 to 74 made great memories together there during our stay.

Good communication with property managers. Beautiful place, well maintained. Exactly what we wanted

The property was great and was what we expected. The hot tub was a hit for the younger grandkids. We found it a little on the dirty side but had it cleaned up and working great by the second day. We found the location great for the different places and activities we enjoyed.

We had a great time at a family at this property. There was plenty of room for everyone and very nice amenities. The kitchen is a little small for 20 people but we made it work. The basement was a little cold for some family members but we rearranged some people and it worked great. Loved the fireplace, hot tub and pool table!

I couldn't have picked a better house for our family reunion and can't enough good things about The Gathering Place. The house was very clean, stocked with everything we could possibly need from portacribs to extra tables and chairs. The owners are absolutely delightful and incredibly helpful. They have put together a great pdf with local info and places to visit. They were super quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Three family members have already asked for info to book this house again. We loved it there! The Gathering Place was a success!

Our family had so much fun at The Gathering Place! There were so many things to keep the kids entertained and we all slept comfortably. Thank you!

The owners were very nice and very helpful.

Thank you for sharing this place. Our group really enjoyed our stay.

Plenty of things for kids to do. We loved this place! We had plenty of space and it is a beautiful cabin. My family would love to stay again!

I loved the mud room in basement. It’s great for a large group of snowmobiles to store gear and clothing. Kitchen is a little small, but would not deter me from renting again. Would love to come back in the summer and experience the outside of this property. The management was very easy to get ahold of. She went above and beyond with answering questions and even helped get an item back to me safely that was left behind.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at The Gathering Place! The grandkids could hardly wait to get back after each day of sightseeing in the area. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well-stocked, and the communication was exceptional. Thank you for sharing!
