What Guests Are Saying
“A lovely old house built in 1804 — it’s like stepping back in time, but with all the modern amenities. Kim and Wayne are very accommodating, the place is very clean and well kept, and the breakfast was delicious. I’ll stay here again.” — Julia G, 5 stars
“A comfortable, attractive, quiet suite with a great whirlpool tub. We had a medical emergency unrelated to our stay and Wayne and Kim couldn’t have been more helpful. We plan to return for another stay, minus the drama.” — cornmuffins, 5 stars
“A colonial house in a rural, wooded area with helpful and friendly hosts. Breakfast was ample with several options. The Connecticut Room was comfortable, with a private bath with a large spa tub and shower, and we could store our bicycles in one of the outbuildings.” — Billy Basden, 5 stars

"My wife and I stayed here near the tail end of our New England trip. Wayne and Kim were spectacular hosts. Breakfast was delicious and the house and area have a lot of charm and history. Highly recommend! Really enjoyed hearing some good stories as well."

Actually, we had a medical emergency in the middle of the night and asked them to request an ambulance. All ended well, but in the meantime, they couldn't have been more helpful! We look forward to returning, with less drama!!"

View on Google"The Truman Gillett House is nicely decorated and all of the furniture is comfortable and in perfect condition. The common areas, bedrooms and bathrooms are spotlessly clean. The breakfast is very good, with the hosts checking on your preferences in advance. I had a last minute special food request, and hosts were very accommodating. The location is great and the House is easy to see from the street. The hosts provide enjoyable company and you feel like family while you are there!"
