About this property

Gillespie House- West Suite | Conveniently Located

Located just one block from Main Street in the Historic District, this 125 year old Victorian home is luxury at it's finest. The owner, Maggie Gillespie, is well known for her artistic talent in everything from decorating to her elegant floral arranging. Enjoy total relaxation on the front porch of the Gillespie House with it's comfortable rockers and gliders.

The foyer has all the charm of days gone by with its tasteful and refined antiques. A common area located downstairs is decorated eloquently with comfort in mind... it is an area of mellowness and indulgence for guests. There is also an awesome large limestone fireplace with a crackling fire in the living room.

Upstairs are two comfortable eclectic special suites. Your suite, the West Suite, has a king antique bed, large secluded whirlpool and a separate shower. The sitting area has a large flat screen TV, a wonderful antique sleigh bed (for a third person to sleep) and wonderful skylights above the sleigh bed for that vast feel of openness and nature.

Fresh flowers are part of the ambiance found in this romantic accommodation. If you are having a special occasion call your hostess, as a floral designer she can definitely meet your needs. Another special area is the gardens on the back side of the property. Enjoy this green space with it's many beautiful plants and seasonal flowers.

Walking distance to restaurants, nice backyard setting for a glass of wine, and felt so welcoming overall with sweet touches like fresh flowers and fruit.

Enjoyed Our Stay
We got to meet the owners, and they were super kind people! The rooms we stayed in were very comfortable and clean. The house was very interesting and fun to explore - it's not every day that we can stay in a 125 year old house!! We had a great time, and would definitely stay here again!

Worst B&B Experience in Our Lives
This booking was deceptive from the start. This property does not look like the pictures and locals can't remember the front of the house looking like it is shown in the very 1st picture of the listing. The interior pictures are taken using lenses that distort the perspective and size of all of the rooms. We always stay in a B&B when we travel. This is our first bad experience. Are you curious why there are only 2 reviews since 8/2019? Either the owners or property managers remove any which are unfavorable or guests just do not leave feedback because it is unfavorable. If this review is removed, I will make sure I post it on Google, Yelp, and post in the local newspaper The first night we were there, we had to put Mentholatum in our nostrils to be able to sleep because while we were out the owners fried salmon croquets or something that smelled equally as disgusting and must have burned the grease. The house reeked of this smell the 5 days we were there. Our towels smelled of sour laundry and we had to go to Wal-Mart and buy towels for bathing during our stay. There was no soap or shampoo in our room, but 4 small 1/4oz containers of Conditioner and 2 containers of lotion. I was looking forward to using the advertised Whirlpool tub. I ran my bath water before getting in. When I turned the jets on, there was this nasty scum that started spewing from the system and floating on the water. I showered this trip. With all going on in the world, we look forward to watching local broadcast news. Although they had Roku TVs, there is no local programming available. I understood that breakfast would be in our room. Captain Crunch and Raisin Bran Cereal cups and Little Debbie cakes is a sad excuse for innkeepers claiming to offer a Bed & Breakfast. Breakfast at a B&B is usually the highlight of a B&B experience. Quite a disappointment. This trip was a gift from my brother and his family so I did not feel I had the authority to complain. Not once in our 4 night and 5 day stay did the host/hostess ask us if we needed anything or if they could do anything for us. I have made many wonderful friends with hosts and hostesses over the years. Some we have become close enough with to travel together. Others we exchange Christmas Cards and have for years. There are still others we continue to stay at the same B&B and same room every year when we attend different events. It takes such little effort to make guests feel special when they are paying this much for lodging. In my opinion, this is a $65 - $85 a night stay. We paid over twice this. BEWARE!

Charming home; great location
The West Suite was perfect for my grown daughter and I to enjoy Fredericksburg, so each of us could have our own sleeping space. Breakfast items included fresh berries which was a plus. It's an easy walk to Main Street from the house, another plus! One day we enjoyed our takeout lunch on a table on the home's back patio-- would love to visit again when everything is blooming!

Charming old house.
We found the apartment to be charming, in a semi-period way. We were disappointed to find that the pastries left out for us were well past their prime. We discarded them all. Some of the fruit was starting to go bad. However, the Keurig coffee maker did work well. The whirlpool tub was the star of the show. The thing we liked least was the odd placement of the bed, due to it being placed with one side next to a wall, it makes it hard for the person on that side to get up to use the bathroom without disturbing the other. The bed was fairly comfortable however. Please advise Mr. Gillespie that we have misplaced a set of keys, on the ring is a Fiat key/fob/remote, and a small red fabric bag which contains a CPR mask. We have searched our bags to no avail....please ask him to give them to you if found. Thank you! As with previous visits to Fredericksburg, the services of Gastehaus Schmidt were top notch, no complaints. Sincerely, Daniel and Jeannette M.
