Great Time in Stuart Va
We had a wonderful time staying at the house. Super clean, quiet neighborhood, great WiFi! We enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the deers & turkeys. Nice backyard with the babbling brook. Would definitely stay there again!

Perfect location for relaxing getaway
This home was so welcoming and comfortable. We were visiting my mother who had moved to a nearby assisted living facility in Stuart. It was a perfect spot to take her to spend time with us. We will surely be back.

Second year we rented this house for our annual visit to Martinsville Speedway. What a great family home. We plan to book it for that event on into the future. Great owners who work with you no matter the issue.

Have stayed here before and hope to return. A most beautiful home in a most beautiful setting. Of course, Stuart VA is one of the best places on the planet! The owners are so very accommodative and have all the amenities readily available. Thank you, Christie and Rick.

Amazing property
Rented the house for a 3 day weekend to meet up with some friends and go to a local event that was happening. House is clean, with plenty of room for the 6 of us (all grown men), fantastic yard and just an all around awesome visit. Will be returning for a family vacation soon. Can't go wrong with the gathering house.

Canadian Thanksgiving
None of us are Canadian, but it makes a convenient annual holiday for three brothers, with their wives, to get together. Sometimes we are joined by cousins, but it happens because they promised their mother before she died that they would always remain close to one another. We enjoyed the spacious house and beautiful grounds as we relaxed and enjoyed being together. It was very welcoming and was perfect for our visit!

Great location
Beautiful home snuggled in a mountaintop! My family had our Christmas get-together here and we had a lovely time. Great location and a well-equipped kitchen. I thoroughly enjoyed a soak in the large jetted tub! The only thing was we couldn’t get the fireplace to come on. I messaged the owners about it and they quickly responded that there were instructions in the visitor notebook that was there with various information including how to turn on the fireplace but alas no dice. So just a heads-up for any future guests although to be fair “fireplace “ was not listed in the amenities (so my bad) I just got confused when I saw it in the pictures. Otherwise a very nice getaway. I enjoyed exploring the creek and we lit up the fire pit on the large deck. Too bad it wasn’t snowing lol.

A Breath of Fresh Air
The Gathering House is a gorgeous, meticulously kept home. It was even better than described. We had more space than we needed and the kids loved that there were so many toys available to use. We really enjoyed the property, walking down to the creek, and exploring in the woods. We had this magical moment where we came upon a fawn drinking from the creek and she bounded away when she saw us. Beautiful. We enjoyed wine on the deck watching the fireflies come out and then coffee at the oversized dining table. There was a book with great local favorites of things to do and we managed to check out three different Stuart "must-see" spots. It was truly a wonderful stay. My six-year-old was a little disappointed that we couldn't stay forever. While extremely rustic and removed, the house is so convenient, with Walmart, Wendy's, a wonderful restaurant, and Stuart's downtown area literally less than 5 miles away. I hope to stay again, and probably will bring more people!

Perfect Place!
Beautiful home! Clean, homey, provides everything you could need. A very private setting, however close to everything. For those of us who stayed at the home and for those family members that lived locally and visited, we had the best time. We laughed, told stories, played Corn Hole, cards, took walks (and saw a bear), shopped, barbequed on the grill, made meals in the well stocked kitchen to share with family, and the best thing of all we made great memories. This "Gathering House" is true to it's name. A wonderful experience for our entire family. You will not be disappointed.

Wonderful place to stay
The house was clean, and the necessities were all provided. We've stayed there multiple times and have really enjoyed our stay. The house provides so much for our large family. The only concern we had was the deck. It seemed to not be real sturdy one side especially. Otber than that everything was wonderful.

Our Motorcycle trip
We stayed at Rick and Christy's property for 2 nights on our motorcycle trip from Canada to Tail of Dragon, their place was ideal for 6 of us with plenty of rooms and the kitchen had almost everything for cooking a meal. Just a note to our fellow bikers; the driveway from the road to the house is gravel and it is a bit challenging to ride, please be cautious.

Family Getaway
My family had a wonderful time. This location was perfect for our visit to Fairy Stone State Park, Floyd, Meadows of Dan, and a couple of other small towns. Although our river float plans were rained out, there was plenty to do at the house. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook family meals. It was a wonderful experience.

Togetherness
The Gathering Place is aptly named. We have stayed in the past and this visit was even better than the last. The property has the amazing ability to offer total and complete privacy but without sacrificing being close to everything. Minutes from restaurants, Walmart, the gorgeous DeHart Park, and easy access to the highway... but still away from everything. We had a night where we just sat on the hill and listened to the night fall and watched as fireflies lit up the trees like Christmas lights. We loved having the pack & play, baby gate, and high chair easily accessible. The layout of the house is perfect for family togetherness. We did some cooking, enjoyed some reading, and the kids loved the toys and exploring the beautiful yard. We did a day in Greensboro and a day in Winston Salem. The location makes it easy to get to. Highly recommend the house and the owners.

Great place to stay! So cozy!
We loved staying at the Gathering House. Everything was so nice and cozy! Loved the Christmas tree! The place was simply outstanding with the exception of the TV. We didn't have cable to watch TV. But otherwise, we loved every minute!
