We enjoyed our stay at The Gathering Place. The pictures are accurate representations and the outdoor space is really wonderful. In general though this felt more like someone's 2nd home that is VRBO'd vs. some of the other options we have stayed at that were designed as vacation rentals.Location is great on a quieter part of the lake as well and only about 10 minutes into kingsland

Great location for boating

We stay every summer on LBJ, this was one of the best vacation homes we have stayed at. Great location to jet ski and boat. We had 5 kids ranging from 8-16 years stay at the house and when we weren’t boating they were swinging off the dock rock or playing ping pong. Owner was available to answer questions quickly. We will be back next year.

The Gathering Place is such a beautiful property with amazing amenities. We had 16 people, mostly adults, and we felt there was still plenty of space for all of us. Our kids (9,11, teens and adult kids) all 'lived' on the enormous upper dock. We watched an evening storm from the beautiful master bedroom screened porch. It was so peaceful and pleasant. The host was attentive and accommodating. We easily will book this property again in the future.

Great spot for a big family!

The owners of this property have created a beautiful, comfortable spot that is great for a large family gathering. The kitchen has everything you need--bonus points for Tajin in the spice rack! The beds were comfortable. The fire pit is awesome and the place is well equipped with paddle boards, kayaks, and life jackets. We will absolutely stay here again in the future!

We had a large party and this place had plenty of room (including sleeping room) for our group. The outdoor fire pit was fantastic for evening gatherings, but our favorite area was by the deck! The kitchen/living room was spacious and it never felt small. We had to contact them for small things and they responded right away!

Well appointed home perfect for multi-generation family vacation.

The property was thoughtfully stocked from kitchen to outdoor patio; and we particularly enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks. The property was very clean all around and had very cold AC. The only drawbacks were the recent rains had deposited debris in water around dock and there was no rope swing.

Fantastic View and Great Accomodations

Bill was an excellent host and made sure everything was perfect for us. We had pretty much everything we needed. The house was beautiful and the view was perfect. We spent most of the day outdoors even though it was cold and rainy because of how great the backyard was. It can hold 14 people with use of the sleeper sofas or 12 without. It was an absolutely great time.

Amazing Place On The Water

The outdoor photos don't do justice to how great that space is. With the help of the chefs in our party we prepared amazing meals with the outdoor cooking equipment and fed an army. Plenty of space to lounge indoor and out. Lots of easy access water toys to enjoy the river. Don't skip the rope swing.

Outstanding property and experience

We rent often and this is perhaps the most thoughtful, well stocked, organized property we have ever rented. Exceptional explanation and directions for all amenities. Exceptional and proactive owner/manager. 5 levels of decks to enjoy from the master deck to the Tiki bar at waters edge. We only had 6 but easily would have been able to serve 20 people there were so many matched and new dishes and stainless. Kayaks, paddle boards, huge decks. Outstanding and already looking forward to booking again.
