houseparty
Weekend guest gathering
A houseparty is a social gathering where guests stay overnight or for several days at someone's home, often in the country.
The term evokes weekend retreats at estates or vacation homes: We're throwing a houseparty at the lake cabin.
In college contexts, it may simply mean a large party held at a house rather than a bar or club.
