Comfortable bed
Fabulous location near Hondo’s and Crossroads. The area was very nice for morning walks. Bed and linens were great. Shower was leaking on the hardwood floor and the bathroom ceiling needed repairs. The blinds on the skylights also need some TLC. All in all it was a very comfortable space and we would return.

Was disappointed
Let me start with the positive. The location was GREAT! The hosts were very good too and extremely nice. I was extremely disappointed in the breakfast. It was literally just boxed cereal, milk, and like granola bars. We stayed two nights, so naturally we would assume they would refill after the first night, but they did not. Additionally, one of the nights we came home and there was dog poop on the carpet right next to our room. Some of the lighting in our room did not work and the shower did not look the cleanest. The photos make it look like the greenery is gorgeous, but there was sadly none.

Great cozy place!
This was a great place to stay, right off Main street. We were able to walk to various places (instead of fighting traffic the whole time). Very clean and cozy. Great Anniversary Spot!!

Our host was awesome. We were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary and the host took it upon hisself to make our dinner reservations at his and his wife’s favorite restaurant. The food and atmosphere was perfect.

Not quite what what was expected
Suite was cute but cobwebs and broken shower door were items I wouldn't expect in a place that charges as much as they do.

Great Stay
Really enjoyed our stay. Location was close in town. Room and furnishings were nice. Were making due the best possible for breakfast in the age of COVID. Owners were great. Had one issue with hot water first morning and it was minor and resolved within minutes. Friendly and knowledgeable about town with lots of great tips. Top notch service all around.

The breakfast was delicious and it was close to everything but it was very rustic and old. The shower was difficult to use and the beds were uncomfortable. The owners were very welcoming

The Great Gillespie
This little gem of a bed and breakfast was thoroughly enjoyed for its location, comfort, and yummy breakfast. The owners, Mike and Maggie, are laid-back owners who have thoughtfully provided the amenities necessary for a comfortable and quiet stay. We stayed in the west room with a king bed and oversized whirlpool tub, and loved the sun-filled room with skylights and quaint spaces. A mini frig/freezer and coffee maker were provided, along with TV and Wi-Fi. The rooms are up a fairly steep wooden staircase which has a handrail and wall for support. Antiques and beautiful art are displayed all around this lovely, history-filled home, and the porches and outdoor gardens provide spaces for rest, reading, and retreat. Would definitely return to The Gillespie House in the future! The Wildflower 5K, Herb Farm, and Hondo’s were easily within walking distance, and the car could be parked in front of the bed and breakfast and not used very often! Thanks to the Gillespies for a cozy stay.

Very good location, sweet couple that owns it, and the West suite was everything we wanted.
Close to Main Street but just far enough to be nice and quiet. The owners are very nice and are around enough to say hi and talk at breakfast. Room was clean and spacious.
