The Gathering House

ErikRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We needed a space for a family gathering and this was the perfect place! The house was clean, in a convenient location, and large enough to accomodate everyone for big group meals. The door code made it easy for different people to come and go, and the driveway was large enough for several vehicles. We had a wonderful time and would definitely book here again.

Downtown Renovated Charmer, near ISU

CourtneyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Lovely comfortable home. As described. Perfect for graduation. Very comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, and the backyard was a little oasis. The kitchen had the basics and as we didn’t cook at all was fine. There was no sugar. So if you put sweetener in your coffee be sure to bring your own. The Fareway is a short walk and we were able to go and get coffee sugar easily. Would definitely recommend this house and it’s location for events at ISU.
