The Gathering Lodge is a relaxing, private log house with a stunning view.
The Gathering Lodge is Back!!!! The Gathering Lodge now under new ownership has been renovated into a new Modern Farmhouse look. It is under the same management and has the same relaxing, private feel with a stunning view! A new bathroom has been added to the upstairs bedrooms. We also plan to have some new activities including Frisbee golf, a sand volleyball court, a golfing tee area and mini golf putting area with 4 holes, an outdoor sauna, a hot tub, and paddle boards. New pictures to come soon!!! We will start renting out again June 2026. Hope to see you soon!
We are a beautiful, private, modern farmhouse log lodge with a beautiful view. Come and gather with family or friends in our vacation home and relax by visiting one of our great local restaurants or cook food for your whole crew in our very grand, functional kitchen. You can stay entertained with games in our game room or sit and chat to catch up with your loved ones in our cozy siting areas. In the winter we have a great sledding hill, the lake is great for ice fishing, and we are just one mile away from the central lakes snowmobile trail. In the summer, we have a beautiful view overlooking Swan Lake. Although the beach is not a great swimming beach, we have access to the lake for fishing and you can rent a pontoon, a double decker pontoon with a slide, and we do have some water toys available for your use. We are a mile away from The Pebble Lake golf course and the central lakes bike trail. We would love to have you and your family and friends come together to have a great, memorable vacation at The Gathering Lodge!

Our vacation came and go and we had an amazing stay. My family was able to explore and have fun with our stay due to love and care the host have dedicated to their lodge.
Thank you for welcoming us!
We were very impressed. Home was extremely well stocked, view was beautiful and we had a fun time going to Fergus Falls. We would definitely rent again!
The house is beautiful and a wonderful open place to enjoy family and friends. Would recommend to others and would love to return. Thanks for sharing tour place.
We had a wonderful stay with our large family. Everyone slept comfortably. This house is fully stocked, with no detail overlooked. We would stay again!
The property was amazing.. well equiped to entertain all the age groups. It was very clean and spacious with plenty of space to sleep. My group had lot of fun with all the games in the basement and the jacuzzi.Amazing host as well. Overall, we had great stay here.
Our family of 17 people stayed here for a week, and enjoyed every minute of it. The house was perfect! It was very well stocked; the beds were very comfortable; and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The garage and basement made great game rooms. The lake was really nice for tubing and fishing. We will definitely be back again!
The lodge was large (our family of 25) enough for us all to have family time as well privacy for each individual family. The game room offered fun on the rainy days & on good days the lake toys (belonging to the lodge) & our own boat gave us access to the lake. It was a fabulous week & all ages left expressing how fun it was.
We had an amazing extended family Christmas at the Lodge! There was so much todo and space for everyone to spread out or come together. We loved sledding, enjoying a soak in the hot tub and just being together. It was so organized and well stocked! We hope to stay agai. with our large group of family.
Our family absolutely could not get enough of this property at our reunion. Something to do for all ages and all types of weather. Everything was clean and easy to find. Beds were so comfortable and there was the perfect amount of space for our very large group. Tanya was prompt and informative with every question we had!
This is our second year here for our annual women's retreat and we LOVE this place! So clean. So much space. So many fun things to do. Beautiful property with privacy on a bay of the lake. It has everything you need and then some! The owners are absolutely lovely people and communication is top notch. Thank you again Tanya!!!
The property and location were excellent, and Tanya was incredibly communicative and helpful leading up to and during our stay.
The location is very private and beautiful, and there is plenty to do and plenty of room. Couldn't ask for more!
This place gorgeous, plenty of space, lots to do, great for larger groups! The hosts have done an amazing job! Our group thoroughly enjoyed it, I really hope that we have an opportunity to return sometime.
The place and the setting provided an enjoy experience for our family. It was clean, everything worked and provided the room that our large group needed.
This was a beautiful cabin...and the hospitality! They were very responsive to all of our questions and were so welcoming, down to the welcome kit they provided for us. We will definitely be booking again!
I stayed here with several of my friends. The house was incredible and the communication with the hosts was wonderful. Cannot recommend this property enough!
