"My husband and I stayed in the lofts, apartment one, and we loved every detail!! Thoughtful: First, a box of chocolates awaited us atop the book of all the details you'd want to know about Afton and the surrounding area. I appreciate that it has things to do in both snow and in the summer because it changes so drastically. Location: We enjoyed walking downstairs and grabbing frozen yogurt & soup. Tasty and so convenient. Design & vibe: The interior design is clean and streamlined while still feeling cozy..."

"I recently attended a Christmas Party at Garther on 89, catered by Sandie Truchot, and it was a truly fantastic experience! The venue itself is beautifully designed, providing the perfect festive atmosphere for the event. The space was comfortable, elegant, and well-suited to the group. The food, prepared by Sandie and her team was absolutely fabulous! Every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. I highly recommend Garther on 89 and Sandie Truchot for any event — you won’t be disappointed!"

"GATHER on 89 is really a great hidden gem and welcomed venue here in Afton, Wyoming. The venue is gorgeous with a twist of fun, along with an amazing prep kitchen and so much that can be done here. Bethany and her staff was so very helpful throughout the entire process! We always had access to have her answer our questions and was knowledgeable and flexible with our requests. We had a great time working with them! I highly recommend this venue for any or all your event needs!"

"This place is absolutely amazing! It feels incredible with amazing beds, decor, linens and furniture! Super high class but homey! Fits us perfectly and is so convenient to be in downtown Afton and especially right above a really good frozen yogurt parlor (Swirl) and clothes boutique! I’d recommend absolutely! Super awesome hosts too!"
