Welcome to The Gathering Place at Lake Delhi

Escape to two acres of rolling Iowa countryside and enjoy a relaxing stay designed for making memories with family and friends. Spend your days on the water in the warmer months, or enjoy crisp fall evenings and snowy winter getaways from the comfort of the hot tub and fire pit. Whether you're grilling dinner on the deck, gathering with family and friends, or simply relaxing outdoors, this property was designed for connection, relaxation, and year-round memories.

With plenty of outdoor space, ample parking, and comfortable accommodations for up to 15 guests, this property offers something that's increasingly hard to find around the lake: room to spread out. It's the perfect home base for boating weekends, family gatherings, reunions, baseball tournaments, and Lake Delhi adventures.

Outdoor Living

The outdoor spaces are where this property truly shines, offering opportunities to relax and gather year-round.

Start your morning with coffee on the deck, spend the afternoon grilling and relaxing outdoors, and wind down with a soak in the hot tub or conversations around the fire pit under the stars. In the fall and winter, the hot tub and fire pit create the perfect setting to enjoy cool evenings, changing leaves, and peaceful snowy views. Few things are more relaxing than soaking in the hot tub on a crisp fall evening or after a day of winter adventures.

Parking & Lake Access
