My wife and I booked a last minute stay at Gillum House on our way to a wedding in Kentucky (driving from Philadelphia). Kathy could not have been more welcoming or helpful from the first phone call to seeing us off after our stay. We expected a clean, convenient (minutes from I-79) stay, with an interesting flair that one expects... More

My stay at the Gillum house was the best experience I have had at any Bed Breakfast and barn. The house was lovely the host and hostess were gracious. The food was great. The barn was close and the stall was clean. Parking for the truck and trailer was easy. There were horses close by but not to close. I... More

As avid "B&Bers" who have used them in such diverse countries as Portugal, Australia, Germany, UK and Scotland, as well as here in the USA we could not say enough good things about Mrs. Panek and her home. When we have stayed at B&Bs here in the USA we have usually coming away feeling a somewhat marginal experience factor. Not... More

What a fabulous stay we had with Kathleen and John. They epitomize the B&B experience with oustanding, caring and down-to-earth hospitality, coupled with superb breakfasts and extremely interesting conversations. This B&B is a treasure trove of history,stories and ambience. We wish we could have stayed longer, as the first taste of this B&B leaves us yearning for more. Most definitely... More

For some reason all the hotels up and down the I-79 corridor near Clarksburg were booked - mid week, so the search was on and Google led me to the Gillum House. The accommodations were comfortable and clean, the food was delicious, the hospitality excellent and the conversation delightful. Next time I travel to this area, I won't bother calling... More

The Gillum House has to be one of the most relaxed and relaxing B&Bs my sister and I have stayed at. Hosts Kathleen and John have forgotten nothing to make their guests comfortable - good beds, a great upstairs bath, lots of books to read (and take) and entertaining conversation. There's plenty of Kathleen's home-cooked food and a huge range... More

My sister and I stayed overnight at the Gillum House B&B while on a drive-and-bike trip. The owners were welcoming and friendly and we'd certainly return happily if we were in the area. The rooms were extremely comfortable, with careful thought given to what tired travelers might need. We especially liked the bathrooms! The breakfast was great, very elegantly presented.... More

We had a wonderful stay. Kathleen and John were so generous with their time. The beds were so comfortable which is a nice change from some of the hotels we have stayed. The breakfast was excellent, we even received "to go bags" to take with us. The barn facilities were super, the stalls are nice and large to accommodate for... More

The bed was really comfortable, the house was beautiful. Loved the different lighting over the bathroom mirror, walk in shower, and tub. It was spotlessly clean. It's the first place I've stayed that I actually felt comfortable enought to walk in bare feet. The breakfast was way beyond what we expected and there was a ton of extra little things... More

We at the Gillum House are very fortunate. We get so many wonderful guests such as this couple and those who previously reviewed us. It is quite easy for innkeepers to try to "go the extra" (in my opinion) when we have guests who are pleasant and recognize that we really are wanting them to be comfortable, relaxed, and "at...

You could tell Kathleen enjoyed us as we sniffed many of her teas from her fabulous selection. The one we selected was delicious and interestingly brewed! She was a fun and knowledgable hostess and her husband a great converstionalist and artist. This warm and friendly house made me feel as if I was back at Grandma's house. More
