We really enjoyed staying at this property with 3 generations of family. The three separate floors gave us a chance to have some separation but also still be together in the same accommodation. The suites were huge and comfortable, and the fact that each had its own large bathroom was a really great bonus !!! Everything was very clean and updated and communication with the host was excellent !As shown in the description, the middle floor has a huge table which was great for our family to gather for meals, and it also has a game room on that level which my grandkids thoroughly enjoyed. There's a kitchen on the top level and the bottom level so there is some climbing up and down stairs to get food to the middle floor where the main dining table is. This was no problem for us at all, but if you have somebody who has difficulty with stairs it could be a challenge. Both of the kitchens were very well stocked and having a washer and dryer on both the bottom floor and top floor was also extremely helpful for our group. We really enjoyed our stay and appreciated our host.

We had a great stay! The house was very comfortable and worked perfectly for our large group of 17, with plenty of space for everyone. Both kitchens were well equipped and the house was stocked with everything we needed. There was plenty of parking, and the kids especially enjoyed the game room. We would definitely stay again.

House was great! Clean and tidy. We came with a large group, infants, kids, teens and adults- they had everything! We cooked each day, and kitchen had what was needed. Loved having the two kitchens, and grills outside! Made the work go fast. Double hot tub made it so nice to allow everyone in without being cramped. Would definitely recommend and would stay again!

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!!
