We enjoyed our stay at The Gathering Place. The pictures are accurate representations and the outdoor space is really wonderful. In general though this felt more like someone's 2nd home that is VRBO'd vs. some of the other options we have stayed at that were designed as vacation rentals.Location is great on a quieter part of the lake as well and only about 10 minutes into kingsland

Great location for boating

We stay every summer on LBJ, this was one of the best vacation homes we have stayed at. Great location to jet ski and boat. We had 5 kids ranging from 8-16 years stay at the house and when we weren’t boating they were swinging off the dock rock or playing ping pong. Owner was available to answer questions quickly. We will be back next year.

The Gathering Place is such a beautiful property with amazing amenities. We had 16 people, mostly adults, and we felt there was still plenty of space for all of us. Our kids (9,11, teens and adult kids) all 'lived' on the enormous upper dock. We watched an evening storm from the beautiful master bedroom screened porch. It was so peaceful and pleasant. The host was attentive and accommodating. We easily will book this property again in the future.

Great spot for a big family!

The owners of this property have created a beautiful, comfortable spot that is great for a large family gathering. The kitchen has everything you need--bonus points for Tajin in the spice rack! The beds were comfortable. The fire pit is awesome and the place is well equipped with paddle boards, kayaks, and life jackets. We will absolutely stay here again in the future!

We had a wonderful time at "The Gathering Place." It was a restful, relational time of getting to relate well with other men who were seeking to process life together both personally and spiritually!
