Where to start?
I stayed here with 3 friends for a night of cards, beers and laughter before heading to Durhamtown off-road resort the next morning.
Our hosts, Edward and Cynzia were very responsive via email and were there to greet us upon arrival, which was early!  Our rooms were all ready and, after a brief tour and history of the building, we were shown to our rooms. The rooms are all different, decorated with a nod to the original style but with a modern twist. The bathrooms and showers are all modern and beautiful. The beds are FANTASTIC!  Very comfortable indeed.
I had booked dinner there and it was all cooked to perfection and enjoyed with our hosts in the dining room. Plenty of attention to detail made this meal a very welcome and enjoyable one.
The entire house is riddled with artwork by the very talented Cynzia and it was a joy to see something very different than the usual prints you see at a B&B. There has been much effort put in to restoring this old house and it shows. No detail too small and the grounds are also a fantastic place to relax, party, putt, eat etc.
Edward even delivered us a charcuterie board while we sat outside enjoying the sun. Our entire stay was fabulous and definitely exceeded expectations. They have thought of everything and made sure to let us know that nothing was too much trouble. I’d go back again in a heartbeat. I’d even adjust my plans to “be in the area” so I can stay there again. Thanks for a great stay!

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 home, we enjoyed a delicious dinner al fresco. The bed was comfortable and breakfast was outstanding. Edward and Cynzia's hospitality is top notch. We only stayed one night, but left feeling like we were long time friends.

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 is the beautiful historic home of the prominent businessman and developer in the area 100 years ago. Both Edward and Cynzia are very accomplished experts in their own complementary areas in culinary skills, groundskeeping, architecture, art, renovation, etc which together make for an impressive property and culinary experience. They gave us an interesting, informative tour of the property and we enjoyed an optional dinner which Edward skillfully prepared and presented. We then enjoyed coffee outside under the pretty Georgia night sky in the peaceful backyard. Their spacious (a couple of acres) backyard has a vegetable garden, fish & turtle pond, wildflower garden, large area for special events such as weddings and reunions, and numerous thoughtfully placed seating areas for groups or secluded couple’s conversations.  The home has been skillfully restored, updated to modern standards while preserving the historic integrity. We stayed in the Azul (Blue) room and it and all the rooms were beautifully furnished and had comfortable mattresses and ample amenities. There were complementary snacks and drinks, and even a drawer stocked with items you might have forgotten to bring. Cynzia is an accomplished artist and the house is decorated with her artwork. The included breakfast the next morning was once again a special presentation with fresh fruits and locally sourced items.
We can’t say enough about how nice, relaxing, and enjoyable our stay was. Whether for an intimate couple getaway, a quiet escape from the city, or as a venue for special events, Gillen House is a superb choice!!!

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 come back soon.

Gillen B&B pays attention every little detail…. From extra chargers, to sound machines, to filtered water…. You will want for nothing during your stay. The hosts are delightful and engaging.  We highly recommend the b&b - it’s impeccably clean, super comfortable,
and very relaxing.

I don’t know what kind of feng shui magic Cynzia and Edward piped into this place, but I have never in my life had such a relaxing visit anywhere in the world. I slept as well as I did before I had children 11 years ago, and I am considering booking another visit imminently simply for the sleep. The only downside is that while I am sleeping I can’t be cozying into one of their many perfect nooks with a book, exploring the beautiful gardens, or catching a breeze on the front porch with a crisp glass of white wine and their to-die-for crackers with tapenade. Had a lovely and delicious dinner with some other guests who seemed equally enchanted as I was with this gem of a place- what a memorable stay that beckons me back ASAP. A MUST STAY.

We had the pleasure of staying here this past weekend, the history and the beauty of this home is impeccable! Each antique piece of the home has a story behind it. Edward and Cynzia were amazing hosts! We had a lovely dinner when we arrived and got settled in. The art in the home is created by Cynzia so it’s like walking into a gallery/studio! Highly highly recommend this Bed & Breakfast! Best one we have ever been to! We learned so much about the town and the home! We got to meet their sweet house mates! The view’s and the scenery give off such a homey vibe! We definitely plan to come back and stay here anytime we are in Georgia!
