Yes. A $150 security deposit is required with your reservation and is collected at the time of booking along with the full payment.
The security deposit helps cover no-shows, excessive cleaning, missing items, or damage to The Gathering Nook's furnishings, décor, or equipment.

Yes, pets are welcome at The Gathering Nook, provided the selected park or venue permits pets. We simply ask that pet owners help us protect the cleanliness and condition of our Nook furnishings, pillows, blankets, décor, and other rental items.
For the comfort and cleanliness of all guests, pets are not permitted on the pillows, cushions, upholstered furniture, blankets, tables, or other Nook furnishings. Pets must remain on the ground or in an appropriate carrier or designated pet area and should be supervised at all times.
Before each reservation, our Nook furnishings, décor, and rental items are carefully inspected and documented to confirm their condition and cleanliness. After your reservation, all items are inspected again during breakdown.
If pet hair, dander, stains, odors, scratches, damage, or other pet-related debris is found on furnishings or rental items, additional cleaning or replacement costs may apply. Your security deposit may be partially or fully withheld when necessary to cover excessive cleaning, damage, or replacement of items resulting from a pet.
We love our four-legged guests and want them to be part of your meaningful moments—we simply ask that they enjoy the Nook without getting on the furniture or furnishings so we can keep every Nook beautiful, clean, and welcoming for the next guest.
