Guest Reviews
My husband and I stayed at the Gillen House Bed and Breakfast to celebrate our anniversary. The property is beautiful, both inside and out. Rooms are large and lovingly decorated in unique artwork, primarily by the owners, as both are artists. They did a major renovation to update the main structures and bathrooms but kept the charm of the hundred year old home. After arrival and tour of the...See More

My husband and I stayed at Gillen House for one night on our way to watch the Masters Golf Tournament. I wish we had stayed longer. Edward & Cynzia were wonderful hosts. Both are talented artists, and their work is displayed throughout the house. Knowing our plans, special "Masters" treats were prepared for us. The food they prepared was excellent. The grounds were beautiful and welcoming. We hope to...See More

The Gillen House was a highlight of our recent trip to the southern Appalachians! It is located in the small, quiet central GA town of Maxeys about an hour east of Atlanta, removed from all the hustle and bustle of the city. From the moment we arrived, the hosts Edward and Cynzia were very welcoming and professional, while also making you feel like you’re with family. The property itself...See More

Edward & Cynzia are gracious hosts. I can't say enough about their hospitality. They have a beautiful home and grounds. No small detail was overlooked in decorating and remodiling the home. And they are wonderful hosts and the food was delicious to top it off. The grounds are meticulously kept and beautiful to just get lost in. We highly recommend the Gillen house. We will be back. Thank you...See More

The house is absolutely beautiful! Surrounded by antiques and wonderful art (many pieces done by one of the hosts, an artist) it had an elegant yet homey feel. The hosts, Edward and Cynzi, were warm and friendly and very personable. Our bedroom had an amazingly comfortable bed, modern bathroom and was extremely roomy! We were there for 4 nights and each one was great!!
