So maybe Grandma isn't making the best decision. It's still reasonable. When there is debate, the decision stands as reasonable. So then, what to do? It's simple Op, it's not your call. It's Grandma's house. All that matters is what Grandma wants to do.[/quote]

Well then maybe Grandma should have come up with a plan that met everyone's needs...like not having this family get together in a location 1.5 hours from a Target and where everyone has to share kitchen facilities. Maybe they could have gone to Grandma's house and one family could have stayed in a hotel. There is just too much going on here. [/quote]

Grandma is not, presumably, forcing anyone to come.  She made a plan, invited people, and people said yes.  While the gluten free thing might not have been known at the time the invite went out, the middle of nowhere part and the sharing the house part almost certainly were.  Some people think a rural lake in Maine is a delightful vacation, and some people don't, but that's a whole other issue.

At this point, however, having committed to a trip to a location that 1.5 hours from Target, the OP needs a solution that works in that context.

I would vote for OP's original suggestion of keeping some gluten foods in their room with the door closed at all times.  Maybe bring a door lock so kids don't wander in.  [/quote]
