Welcome to Granny's house of original woodwork, delicious homemade food, and the memories evoked as the aroma of the baking bread drifts up the stairs. Awaken to fresh-ground coffee brewing and muffins baking (come on down & get some) in addition to the fruit, juice, and entree for breakfast. Accommodating special diet needs is the "specialty of the house". Tea Drinkers of the World - the Gillum House currently offers over 75 varieties of tea and is adding teas oftern. We give concierge service without the price and Shinnston has no hotel tax - our tax is 6% WV sales tax.

Walk or jog on the rail-trail before breakfast, it is 50 feet from the house. Visit the covered bridges, State Parks, craft shops and artisans, golf courses, and historic sites or curl up on the glider on the porch with a good book - all books on the second floor are to be "stolen" (and they are not to come back). Gillum House is near WVU, Italian Heritage Festival in Clarksburg, Scottish Festival in Bridgeport, the only Chapel of Perpetual Adoration in West Virginia, 2 wineries, 2 drive-in theaters, Fairmont and Clarksburg are each 10 miles away and it takes 45 minutes - door to door - to Morgantown. We offer escort service from the highway to the stable with our overnight stabling. Gillum House has off-street cement parking for Motorcycle riding guests.

We have 3 guestrooms with beds so comfortable guests want to take them home. Each room has a now decorative fireplace. The Gillum Room has private bath with claw-foot tub and a shower. Rosi's and Harris share a bath that has a 60 inch shower. Terry robes are provided in each guest room. The crystal ashtray is on the porch for our smoking guests.

For the Business Traveler - internet access, copier/scanner/fax available. We have a dedicated line for the computer (we disconnect ours for you to connect). Gillum House is "green". We are participants in a WV DEP Office of Innovation Program on Environmental Managenemt Systems. We could write words forever, but nothing conveys what the Gillum House is better than experiencing it for yourself.
