What a place! What wonderful hosts! The Gillen House is a gem. Definitely would recommend it. Edward and Cynzia make the stay so comforting with their kindness, great breakfast and attention to our questions and wants. We will stay again for sure when we get down there way.

This is a beautifully restored historic home, in a lovely very-small-country-village setting. The hosts are attentive and welcoming, and the property is filled with their artistic touches. Breakfast was wonderfully done, fine regional fare. Communication before and after the stay was prompt, thorough, and friendly.

UGA Parents weekend
The Gillen house has a charm or good spirit in it that helps to relax a person and enjoy a slower pace with peace! The food by Edward was delicious and attractive. The artwork and conversations with Cynzia and Edward were delightful!

Charming B&B tucked away from the hustle & bustle.
Such a charming B&B tucked away from the hustle and bustle. We stayed here for the weekend while attending a UGA game in Athens. Easy 30 minute drive to the stadium.The moment we arrived we instantly felt welcome and like old friends. Edward and Cynzia are the most wonderful hosts! Full of knowledge about the history of the area and just great conversationalists and story tellers. The room was perfect and the home and grounds are beautiful and cozy. We look forward to returning!
