We could not have asked for better Guest!! They were wonderful and extremely kind!! They took care of The Bama Gathering Place as though it was their very own home. They were very attentive with bagging the trash, turning the lights, ceiling fans, & A/C off at their departure. As well as securing the home with every door locked. I must say, they were very considerate and left everything tidy. We were most impressed with their stay. We would definitely welcome them back to The Bama Gathering Place & it would be our greatest pleasure to host them again!! -Julie & Gordon 🙂

Wonderful Experience

We enjoyed an extended weekend at this property. Everything was exactly as it is pictured, and the house was equipped with everything that my family needed. We loved the peacefulness of the property. My children and dogs enjoyed the huge yard space to run around. Everything was extremely clean and beautifully decorated. Julie was extremely responsive and helpful with any questions that we had. We loved it!
