We sat on the wide front porch...See More

We stayed at Gillen House this past weekend and had the most wonderful time. Edward and Cynzia were so communicative, attentive to our needs and thoughtful about every single detail.

The Gillen House Bed and Breakfast is outstanding. There is a feeling of relaxation from the moment of arrival. The architecture of the house is lovely.

My husband and I came to stay here...See More
