Romantic Interest
The Gillum Room with its 4-poster rice bed and satin duvet on the Queen-size bed with the warm walnut hue of the woodwork of the now decorative fireplace mantle creates an ambiance of romance. The private bath offers an old-fashioned clawfoot tub (big enough for 2), dimmer switch for that light as well as a large shower. The CD player (with a selection of romantic music available) sets the background tone. The mood can be completed with an arrangement for an in-room massage in the afternoon and a candlelight dinner for 2 in the evening - and we know how to make a lady feel SPECIAL with one of our dinner packages. The gentleman can arrange for a host of romantic things to fit his personal budget that can include flowers, locally made (totally divine) hand-dipped chocolates, champagne, in-room massage or manicure and pedicure, candles...... Kathleen arranges everything the guest requests for his lady. Ladies, we are not sexist - we can arrange a romantic getaway for the man in your life also.
Historic Interest
It was the home of the second and last B&O Railroad Station Agent who was also a mayor.
