Fond memories in a special place

Although I did not have a wedding here, I can say that the Gathering Barn provides such a special place for family and friends to come together. The outdoor and indoor areas are beautiful and provide everything you could need. It is the perfect combination of a mountain getaway feel and modern design/amenities. I have several fond memories here and can recommend it wholeheartedly.

Weekend Getaway

I came up here with some friends this past winter and I had a lovely time! The house is so clean and had everything we needed (plenty of towels, cookware, dishes, etc.). The fire pit was a great bonus and it looks out over the mountains. It’s a short drive to the town of Meadows of Dan, which has some great lunch spots. It’s also not too far from Floyd, a cute town that you should absolutely check out. Could not it recommend enough and will be coming back!
