About this property

The Gathering Place, rent the entire home

The Gathering Place reflects back to mom and dad back in 1946.
When you walk in the back entryway, pictures will tell "the rest of the story."
Spacious kitchen, three (3) bedrooms, bathroom with a shower/ tub. Large, combined dining area/living room.
Two (2) enclosed porches. Washer/dryer can be used . Off-street parking along in front of the already occupied three (3) car garage.

If your a traveling nurse, mins away from Erie hospitals, St. Vincent's, Hamot & LECOM CAMPUS. Also close to the Millcreek Mall, Presque Isle State Park and Waldameer Park & Water World and much more.

The house sits on a 3/4 lot with privacy all around the house. Quite neighborhood. If you enjoy morning walks this is the place to stay since there is very little traffic on our block.

The kitchen is spacious and the house speaks for itself since you feel welcomed into the home like it's your own.
Guest access
You'll have access to the entire house. We want you to feel welcomed as if you were back home. The back and front porches are great to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee/tea to relax in the morning before you start your day.
Other things to note
There is a fire pit in the backyard that can be used should you want to sit and have a beer or a glass of wine to end the evening. You'll find it peaceful as you listen to the night crickets as your sitting by the fire.

A great stay in Erie

This house is very clean! The location was perfect for a trip to Presque Isle or downtown. The property is landscaped beautifully and was very relaxing after a day at Presque Isle. The listing represents this property very well. The owners were quick to respond when we had questions and they offer suggestions on places to visit and dine. Overall, we had a great stay at this property!

We were in town for a fishing tournament. The house has ample boat parking. And is located a short drive to the boat ramp. This house is located in a great neighborhood. The house was very clean. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was perfectly equipped. The owners initiated contact with us and were quick to respond and help us out during our stay. I would definitely return to this property again.

Hospitable, Small, Well Located

I had a great time staying here. It was a small house but was well located, clean, and provided everything my family and I needed for our stay. I would recommend an improvement, even a mattress topper, for the full bed. Otherwise, comfortable home for a trip spent mostly roaming about the area. Very appreciative of our hosts who were communicative and accommodating. Thank you Craig and Annie!

Lovely house

Lovely, comfortable older home, well maintained with amazing yard, 2 porches and plenty of parking. Nice neighborhood. Everything you could possibly need is provided. Owners were very easy to communicate with, and kept in constant contact with us. Close to shopping, not far from lake. Great place to relax. Highly recommend.

Loved Lake Erie.

This was a super clean place. The yard was large and a nice place to spend time outside. Bed was comfy. There are stairs to deal with . The shower can be harder for older adults to deal with and very little tv service. We truly enjoyed our stay there and would go back. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need to make anything you wanted to make as far as pots pans utensils. The owners were super nice and helpful.

Lovely trip down memory Lane

The home made me think back to the days when my parents and grandparents were alive. Our only complaint was the many decorations that made it hard to sit without worrying that we might break something.

Blast from the Past

My sister and I made an off season visit to Erie to help settle our father into the Pennsylvania Soldier’s and Sailor’s Home. We were looking for somewhere comfortable we could relax and unwind. When we arrived, it was as though we stepped back in time to childhood and into the home of our great grandparents. The appliances, especially the old GE fridge, were amazing! The console television used as a tv stand is a relic. What a comforting, welcoming place to be! Thank you so much, Craig and Annie.

About the host

Hosted by Craig and Annie Wilkerson

Host profile image
Married for 45 years and still having fun together. 2 beautiful daughters and 6 yorkie dogs. Enjoy going to see a great Garth Brooks concert with my husband.

Why they chose this property

When I met my husband Craig, we bought a house around the corner from his mom and dad's home on West 25th St. I always fell in love with mom and dads house on 24th St. When mom and dad passed we bought the house to keep it in the family. So here we are blessing others to enjoy the family homestead. Nothing like memories of being home!
That's why we call it "The Gathering Place."

What makes this property unique

The house sits on a 3/4 acre lot with a spacious back yard. Foliage all around the area so there 's a lot of privacy to sit and enjoy a picnic with the family.
10 mins away from Gannon University .8 mins away from Millcreek Mall if you like to shop. 10 mins away from Presque Isle State Park ( beach) If you like to golf, plenty of golf courses around . You can even ride your bike around the neighborhood.
Plenty of places to eat too.
Or order a pizza and sit in the backyard by the campfire.
