Wonderful getaway!

The location of the property is definitely up a mountain hilltop! There were 13 of us and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their stay. The cabin is absolutely beautiful and it is so peaceful on the property. We would go again!

Beautiful mountain location

This was a great family trip. The house is beautiful and very large with lots of room. The view is spectacular and very private. The drive up to the home is gravel and up so you definitely need a vehicle that can climb but it is worth it once you get up there. We will book it again.

Fantastic cabin for our family and grandchildren!

Very clean with good amenities! We especially enjoyed the large family room and fire pit. We cooked every night of our stay and did some outings during most days. A beautiful, remote house for us to get away. It is very remote and the other reviews about the driveway are accurate. Just need some skill and patience to make it all the way up if you don't have 4WD. Once you do, it is worth it!

Beautiful and Very Clean!!

This property was well maintained and very very clean. There were several in our group that commented on the cleanliness of this home. The views were amazing and it was easy to find. Please do not worry about the driveway. The other reviews had us concerned because we were traveling in a 15 passenger 2-wheel drive van; however, we had no trouble at all getting up to the top. Perhaps if it were snow or ice that would be different, be clear weather it was no problem at all. I look forward to returning to this property in the future.

Snowed In!!!

Luckily we were prepared. We are from Florida, so we treated like a hurricane. Went to the grocery and loaded up, got firewood and supplies. Im glad we did. It snowed for 2-1/2 days and just blanketed the area. The agency has an agreement with a neighbor that dug us out with a tractor. It was an awesome trip that we will not forget!!!

Beautiful-Cozy-Clean

Lots of space for eleven adults and one child. Gas logs was great. Spacious kitchen and living room. Really clean- Mountain View’s- private. Sports utility a must, hot water was the big issue. Other than that our family will definitely consider another trip.

Friend group mountain trip

This house was perfect for my friend group and I to enjoy a relaxing weekend in the mountains. It was incredibly spacious and well furnished. The view from the back porch was the highlight of my mornings. The only issue with the property was that the driveway was steep and it made it difficult to get up to the house at first. However that’s the sacrifice you’ve got to make for a view and secluded house like this one.

Incredible Property!

This house is simply stunning! The views are amazing from the large, covered front porch! The house is truly at a mountain peak surrounded by lush trees. Everything was perfect! The bedrooms are isolated from one another, making it perfect for multiple families. The kitchen was very well-stocked and spacious for multiple cooks. There was plenty of seating for dining, watching TV, and outdoors on the porch and around the fire pit. The bathrooms were large and plentiful, with a big jetted tub in the main floor bathroom. The game room with pool table was fun for all of us! The kids loved the plentiful toys, coloring books and crayons. We had 3 families on our trip, and we never felt cramped or crowded at all! The only downfall was it ended far too soon!

Beautiful, immaculate property- 4 wheel or all wheel drive needed!

I cannot say enough about how beautiful and SPOTLESSLY CLEAN this place was- we were all amazed by how clean everything was! I do wish they would warn you about how treacherous the drive is!!! You def need all wheel or 4 wheel drive!!!! Not a problem- but we had no idea- so we had a motorcycle and two front wheel drives- they didn’t move until we left. Will be back and now we know!

We are so happy to hear you enjoyed The Gathering Place! Unfortunately, we have experienced quite a bit of rain this year and it has messed up a lot of our gravel/dirt roads. We look forward to hosting you again soon!

Hiker Haven

I came to the area to join my boyfriend and his hiker crew for TRAIL DAYS - a 3 day festival for Appalachian thru hikers. The cabin was an absolute dream and oasis for this crew. After hiking in the woods for 500 miles- the amenities were more than they could have dreamed of. The cabin is huge and so pleasant. The kitchen was amazing and had everything we needed to feed a very hungry crew! 10/10 would recommend and will book again!

Great Seclusion to Getaway

Property was fantastic and an excellent option for a large group if you are looking for seclusion and "unplugging" from the outside world. The listing should be updated to show that there is no Ping Pong table, however there is a pool table. Also, when I asked the property management company about the grill, I was told that it was propane. It was indeed a charcoal grill, so if that can help someone save a trip to town for charcoal, I did my job. My group will definitely be back the next time we visit that area.
