The Meetings has been a destination for tourists for nearly 200 years attracting those who want to immerse themselves in nature. We are essentially surrounded by trees and rivers situated more or less half way between the towns of Rathdrum and Avoca. A building of various types has existed on the site since Thomas Moore's time and currently consists of a relaxed Bar/Lounge with a B&B onsite.
