Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kathryn N., Heber City, Utah Jul 31, 2023 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Do Not Recommend The property looks better online than it does in person. It is older and dirtier than expected. The towels were hard to find and not many available. The hot tub was not working but the owner did stop by to check on that. Rooms are small and there are three stories but not a place large enough to gather a bigger group. There is no A/C and screens and windows are not in working order so you can’t leave windows open at night. The breakers consistently tripped when using griddles or other electronics. The outside property and fire pit are beautiful and spacious. Our security deposit was held back for property damage that we did not primarily cause. We did attempt to communicate with owner and take responsibility but issue was unresolved and communication tense. We would definitely not recommend this property to others. If considering renting the property please carefully read reviews. ##### Kathryn N. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kim G. Aug 23, 2022 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Out of 6 couples (ages 40-72, total group size 20) none would rent here again. I rented this house because of the extras they said they offered. I have rented 7 homes in the past and this was by far the worst. The house was dirty, and so many things were broken, not working properly or missing. We came in on the main level, first thing we saw was a torn up entry mat and kitchen light fixture full of dead moths/bugs. The volley ball and basketball area are a joke. The grass/weeds in the area were at least 16" high with the dirt ground being unlevel. The carpet/furniture in the cabin is dirty and stained. We arrived Saturday evening, on Sunday we tried to vacuum. The vacuum cleaner was so plugged it wouldn't pick up anything, it took my husband 30 minutes to fix it. Once he did, he vacuumed and filled the canister 1 1/2 times. In the canister amongst the dirt was dog hair. How does a home with a no pet policy have dog hair in it? The answer is because Island Park bring their own pet(s) into the house. The silverware/utensil drawers had food particles in them so we ended up cleaning there also. During our entire visit we dealt with ants in the kitchen. We ended up purchasing ant poison to deal with the problem ourselves as we had no response from the Park. Kitchen counter space is very limited. Two people working in the kitchen was the maximum it could hold to work comfortably. The pantry was full of their stuff, no room for our food there as you see in video. Pool table is in a small room a short cue stick is needed to play, one is provided. In one of the downstairs rooms is basketball hoop game that is just about the height of the ceiling, It's broken and doesn't work properly. The bedrooms do not have dressers or chest of drawers to place clothing in. The closets are full of their stuff (floor and shelf). The windows in the bedroom that could open were difficult to do so. They provide extra mattresses for guests but we couldn't find any sheets, lots of blankets though. The pull out couch mattress is badly stained. New TV upstairs but they failed to set it up so it was unusable, said they would come out same day to fix but they didn't. Cords for dvd/vhs player were too short so unusable. No guitar, mic for the Karaoke was in pieces. Deck wood and rail need fixing/replacing. Downstairs door was unlocked when we arrived. Communication was good prior to arrival not so afterwards if it included something which needed their attention. We rented 8 days. I wish we could post pictures. Their video is inaccurate. ##### Kim G. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela R. Mar 11, 2025 ##### Angela R. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stan Y.

Jul 15, 2022 #### The Gathering Place is a great for a family reunion. The Gathering Place fit our needs perfectly. We had 19 people in our family party, 9 adults and 10 kids (8 of the kids were 5 or younger). The kitchen is well supplied with cookware and basics. The kids slept in the bunk bed room and loved being with their cousins. The setting feels remote but you are close to the activities Island Park has to offer and the west entrance to Yellowstone Park. We would definitely stay there again. ##### mary m. ### 8/10 Good #### Brian K.

Jun 18, 2022 #### Perfect for our Family Reunion This house was perfect for our large family of 25! We loved the kitchen stocked with everything we needed to cook, serve and eat food; We also liked that there were plenty of towels, there were several areas to sit and relax and mingle, everyone loved the hot tub, the access to streaming was convenient, and there were PLENTY of bathrooms! The only main "complaint" is that the wifi wasn't always reliable, but it worked often enough that it wasn't a huge issue. The owners communicated well and were quick to respond. This place met and exceeded all our needs! We want to come back again during summertime! ##### Shandra H.

Jun 18, 2022 #### Wonderful stay in Island Park The Gathering Place was the perfect spot for our family reunion. Teara and her husband are the greatest of hosts. Response time is phenomenal. I emailed her a question a couple of months before our reservation about how much parking was at the house (there is plenty!) She called me within minutes She had a wealth of information and since I had never been to the area it was greatly appreciated. The house was large, clean, well stocked with plenty of seating areas and places for eating. The beds were comfortable; there were plenty of nice linens and towels. Often times, we go to a house and it's hard to feel "at home" there. This was not the case at The Gathering Place. It is a very homey environment and we immediately settled in. We filled the house to maximum capacity and it never felt overcrowded. They provide the most amazing folder of information that I have ever seen at a house rental. While at the house, there were a couple of times that I needed to text her and her responses were always immediate. I just can't say enough good about the hosts! I've already been asked by 3 relatives at the reunion for the contact information about the house. I see more wonderful reunions happening there. ##### Marcene N.

We had a family trip to Yellowstone, and chose the Gathering Place to stay in. This property had everything we needed including a whole room that all the kids could share. We were close enough to enjoy Yellowstone, and in the evening we would come together to prepare meals, enjoy the hot tub or sit out by the fire pit. We all loved it! ##### Heather R.

We have never been to the Gathering Place before and were pleasantly surprised. It is large, clean, and we came only to sleep after we were at a wedding in Island Park but we did enjoy the pool table and Jacuzzi. We are glad we stand for the night instead of driving home that night. We found a place we can't wait to rent again for our next vacation. If you forgot anything in your packing they had everything you would possibly need. We would give them more than 5 stars if we could. Great place and a great price. ##### Bryan K.

Jun 18, 2022 #### The Gathering Place was wonderful The cabin was big, beautiful, well stocked with everything we needed. WiFi worked great, close to the river, fun things to do at the cabin such as volleyball and basketball. The host is quick to respond to any questions and very helpful. We would make the same decision of where to stay if we could go back and do it again. ##### Justin P. ### 10/10 Excellent #### juli c.
