Great time in Virginia!

We loved our weekend at the Gathering House. It was the PERFECT house for 3 boys to explore and a baby. The house even came equipped with some baby gear! All accommodations were great and we would definitely stay there again.

Perfect location for relaxing getaway

This home was so welcoming and comfortable. We were visiting my mother who had moved to a nearby assisted living facility in Stuart. It was a perfect spot to take her to spend time with us. We will surely be back.

Family Getaway

My family had a wonderful time. This location was perfect for our visit to Fairy Stone State Park, Floyd, Meadows of Dan, and a couple of other small towns. Although our river float plans were rained out, there was plenty to do at the house. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook family meals. It was a wonderful experience.

Second year we rented this house for our annual visit to Martinsville Speedway. What a great family home. We plan to book it for that event on into the future. Great owners who work with you no matter the issue.

Wonderful place to stay

The house was clean, and the necessities were all provided. We've stayed there multiple times and have really enjoyed our stay. The house provides so much for our large family. The only concern we had was the deck. It seemed to not be real sturdy one side especially. Otber than that everything was wonderful.

Amazing property

Rented the house for a 3 day weekend to meet up with some friends and go to a local event that was happening. House is clean, with plenty of room for the 6 of us (all grown men), fantastic yard and just an all around awesome visit. Will be returning for a family vacation soon. Can't go wrong with the gathering house.
