1 Star Review – Invasion of PrivacyI’ve been traveling with my friends for years, visiting a new destination every month to hike and explore new places. I’ve always been a respectful guest and received excellent reviews everywhere I’ve stayed. Unfortunately, this is the first time I’ve ever had to leave a bad review for a host.I’m giving 1 star because of a serious invasion of privacy. The host entered the house without permission and stood right next to the hot tub where my friends were relaxing. She said the music was too loud — maybe at first, but we immediately turned it down.She insisted on talking to me and made my friends wake me up, but when I went outside, she was already gone and never answered my calls. The second night, she did the same thing again — I called her several times, but she never picked up.I have photos of the host standing near the hot tub and screenshots of the calls she ignored.To make things even worse, I’m sure there are hidden sound detectors or recording devices in this house — something felt very uncomfortable and intrusive.Please be careful if you stay here. I will never rent from this company again, as they manage several properties and clearly do not respect guests’ privacy.

25th Anniversary Family & Friends Trip

Beautiful property with all the amenities you could ask for! We had several families stay with us and we had plenty of room for everyone to congregate as a group as well as spread out into smaller groups. The game room was a favorite for everyone. The hosts are great at communication and so sweet to work with. Would definitely stay here again.

Heaven in Flagstaff

This was amazingly clean, well stocked, and beautiful. The neighborhood was very quiet and a quick drive to NAU, downtown Flagstaff. Many amazing restaurants are nearby and shopping in downtown Flagstaff is great! This property had enough room for our group of 11 and the game room was amazing. The hot tub was a welcome break in the evening after a day of shopping. The house was extremely clean and very comfortable! We hope to stay here again in the future.

Flag family reunion

Each year our family gets together for a week for vacation. Historically it’s been the Outer Banks at Nags Head. This year we choose Flagstaff as our spot and used it as base camp for family to see Grand Canyon, Sedona, Cottonwood/ Jerome, floating the verde river, Winslow/ crater, etc. House worked great for our large party of adults and several walked down to the corner grocery for Starbucks in the am. Our group is all couples so the large number of bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms was excellent! The house is pretty new and other than 3 levels the group loved it. Downsides: 2 fridges but no ice makers and the floors were installed pretty poorly for a new house.

Wonderful House, Great Location.

Stayed here for a family vacation with 20 people. Set up allows for 3 zones with 2 kitchens that enabled togetherness while also providing space for relaxing. The 2 hot tubs were great for relaxing. The only issue we had with the house is that upon arrival we read the house rules and they required us to be inside by 8 or 9 depending on the day. There was also a noise meter outside that sent alerts if people were outside. Given the 2 hot tubs and a wonder all fire pit in the back yard, it would have been nice to be able to enjoy those amenities into the evenings. Not talking about noisy parties, but being able to sit around the fire and enjoy the cool evenings. If these quiet hours were disclosed prior to booking then we missed it completely. Overall a great trip, but could have been even better!

Both kitchens had all the amenities required to prepare meals. Home had 3 floors and ample room enough for family of 26 guests (including children age 10-infants) to be together or to spread out. Game room and bunk room were major hits for the kids. Beds were comfortable. Furniture and TVs were good. Views from many windows were spectacular. We were in Flagstaff for a wedding; the homeowners specified that "events" were allowed which gave us an opportunity to host a "rehearsal dinner" get together for the family and a few extra local family members. I would absolutely recommend this home for a large family stay.

Sorority Reunion

This house was perfect gathering space for a group of 14 college friends. As we are all getting close to being 60, it was essential to have lots of bathrooms and comfortable beds. The stairs were a bit of a challenge for some. However it was great to have small gathering spots and areas for large groups. Early morning risers enjoyed coffee on the balconies and late nighters utilized the gameroom. We ended our stay with a chill Muumuus and Margaritas party at the fire pit.

Gather gorgeously at GatheringTree

Beautiful! The property is very well maintained and suitable for almost any event. Jacuzzis are immaculate, grounds feel private in the middle of the neighborhood, and the beds are super comfy. The only thing we wished for (besides an old-school DVD player) was an intercom system so we could ask each other to bring things up or down the stairs (our hamstrings and glutes got quite the workout, lol)! We bought a used DVD player but forgot to get a universal remote for it, so we didn't get to watch the non-streaming movies we brought with us. We left the DVD player in the game room - just in case the next guest takes the next step and leaves a remote to use with it. Happy Vacations, everyone!!
