My family had a wonderful stay at The Gathering House. The house was so clean and stocked with everything we needed. It was conveniently located to all the Colorado Springs attractions we wanted to enjoy, but we often found ourselves lounging in the backyard enjoying the gorgeous mountain view. Our host was so easy to communicate with too. We will definitely be back!

Location was great, 15 minutes from everything, quiet and low traffic. Kitchen fully stocked for cooking and had room for us to put away our groceries so stuff wasn't hanging out on the counters for a week.The Host checked in periodically on how we were doing, and responded to my messages quickly.The house felt like home, in that it does feel lived in, which made it easier to relax. There was 3 separate families, and with it being a 4 level split we could spread out as needed. We're hoping to be back to the Springs next year, and this house will be our first choice.
