About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Gathering Place, rent the entire home

The Gathering Place reflects back to mom and dad back in 1946.
When you walk in the back entryway, pictures will tell "the rest of the story."
Spacious kitchen, three (3) bedrooms, bathroom with a shower/ tub. Large, combined dining area/living room.
Two (2) enclosed porches. Washer/dryer can be used . Off-street parking along in front of the already occupied three (3) car garage.

If your a traveling nurse, mins away from Erie hospitals, St. Vincent's, Hamot & LECOM CAMPUS. Also close to the Millcreek Mall, Presque Isle State Park and Waldameer Park & Water World and much more.

The house sits on a 3/4 lot with privacy all around the house. Quite neighborhood. If you enjoy morning walks this is the place to stay since there is very little traffic on our block.

The kitchen is spacious and the house speaks for itself since you feel welcomed into the home like it's your own.
Guest access
You'll have access to the entire house. We want you to feel welcomed as if you were back home. The back and front porches are great to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee/tea to relax in the morning before you start your day.
Other things to note
There is a fire pit in the backyard that can be used should you want to sit and have a beer or a glass of wine to end the evening. You'll find it peaceful as you listen to the night crickets as your sitting by the fire.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fenced private yard, and a coffee maker.
