Gathering Inn At Hancock

Kathleen is rather petty and very invasive of your privacy

I stayed here for a month with my partner and we loved the small community that resides here. Kathleen is an amazing and caring host. The community dinners on Tuesday are legendary! And it is a wonderful place to connect with the land, learn about permaculture and organic gardening. The fellow tenants are great and it is a wonderful atmosphere. I would love to come back some day!

Stayed one night. Was at the end of a motorcycle trip, and expectations were low. Had to be somewhere the next day and for the price asked, a hot shower, a bed and a roof sounded better than dealing with camping gear on a dark rainy night.

The host Kathleen was a bit strange, for sure, but she was nice enough. After being on trail for days and days, it doesn't take a lot to be what we needed. The room we stayed in for the night was basic and bare, and smelled like the chicken yard, and the bathroom was shared with her and a bit dirty. There's no laundry available, though there is wifi. Kathleen also picked us up and dropped us off at the trailhead, which was very nice. Some of the people renting rooms from her were super creepy and hit on my friend in stalker kinds of ways. Additionally, the house water wasn't safe to drink so we had to drink warm water from gallon jugs.

This place is not an equal housing lender with no lease agreement other than verbal so preferential treatment is given to those with at any allowance of objection or negotiation. Furthermore the landlady is invasive, panicked and unrespective of peoples rights and their wellbeing. She pries and takea advantagr that due legal process is too expensive for many. Its a mix of those on the doll collecting welfare each month and an unlicensed old folks home. If you can gwt one the adjacent apartments it may be better, but thats not a long term optiom and those tenants are unlikely to give them up any time soon. Kathleen has a growing reputation and is renowned locally for her double standards and general psychopathic tendencies along with conversational redudundancy. Stay if may or need but make it fast and dont get comfortable, bed bugs and all the dust is swept under the rug.
