This was a great place to stay! It was deceptively large — it looks small on the outside but is very spacious on the inside. Everything was clean, and the house was stocked with things we’d need (towels, pans, utensils, etc.). It also has a massive backyard. Also, the host was very commutative and helpful with the whole process. The neighborhood was nice — I felt safe the whole time — and it’s in a convenient location. Would stay again!

Houston Family trip
We need up not bringing our dogs and it would have been great for them. There were some problems with the property I was told after we got there, but the problems were not that bad but just an eye soar. Overall, the property was comfortable. The only gripe would be a local cable service instead of online streaming services.

While the house was comfortable and full of child appropriate toys and such the kitchen would benefit with updating and adding an actual oven or at least toaster oven.

Great set up
We had our whole family, including our 15 month old with us. It was set up nicely to accommodate all of us. Loved being able to relax, even with the toddler. Close to Meow Wolf, which was our main event on our trip.

Quaint home
The location of the home was nice. The home was a little older than expected. There were a few things that could have used fixing/updating since the home is older. Overall nice place and worked for my family and I.

Great Location
Our family stayed at the gathering place for a weekend of baseball games at Minute Maid Park. The house is in the perfect location to the park. Spacious and great back patio area. There is a lot in the house to keep the little ones entertained.

Thanksgiving in the Heights
The Gathering Place was in a perfect location for a group of us to stay near family during the Thanksgiving holiday. It was pet friendly and had a huge backyard, so even walking the dogs after dark felt very safe. The house was clean and had definitely been remodeled. Thanks for making us feel so welcome!
