About this bed and breakfast

Located just one block from Main Street in the Historic District, this 125 year old Victorian home is luxury at it's finest. The owner, Maggie Gillespie, is well known for her artistic talent in everything from decorating to her elegant floral arranging. Enjoy total relaxation on the front porch of the Gillespie House with it's comfortable rockers and gliders.

Walking distance to restaurants, nice backyard setting for a glass of wine, and felt so welcoming overall with sweet touches like fresh flowers and fruit.

We got to meet the owners, and they were super kind people! The rooms we stayed in were very comfortable and clean. The house was very interesting and fun to explore - it's not every day that we can stay in a 125 year old house!! We had a great time, and would definitely stay here again!

This is a true B&B. We had a homemade big breakfast every morning and our hosts were very friendly. It was easily walkable to the downtown area. I highly recommend staying here.

Nice curb appeal and front porch. Room was very spacious. Lighting is poor, need to have more lamps or stronger bulbs. Bathroom lighting was really bad! Bathroom floors are very noisey and the sink didn't drain properly. Since we were visiting vineyards, it would have been nice to have a few wine glasses in our room. We ended up helping ourselves to the dining room curio cabinet which felt uncomfortable but we were thirsty! Host was very hospitable and the food was very good. Mike recommended several places for us to visit and gave us history on the area.

Was a wonderful place to stay. Recommend it. Only negative is that bed in West sweet is too close to wall. Room should be rearrange to allow access to bed from both sides of bed.

We stayed in this 125 year old house, and everything was great! Maggie is a great cook, and we enjoyed a hot breakfast each morning, with homemade waffles the second day! Only one block from Main Street. The bed was very comfy, and we basically had the whole house to ourselves. We would definitely stay here again!

My wife and I enjoyed our Ten year Anniversary. Home owner welcomed us by having us stay in the bigger room. Breakfast was amazing. Walking distance to the stores. I highly recommend this place.
