Best BNB experience EVER
Wow. What a place. Five couples spent a weekend here and we all agreed it was our best BNB experience ever. It's spotlessly clean, spacious, tastefully decorated, and well equipped. The kitchen had high-end appliances and every utensil, pot, pan, and gadget one would ever need, even spices and condiments. There were thoughtful little touches like USB ports and charging cords on the nightstands, shampoo and conditioner in the showers, etc. The beds and furniture are high-quality and very comfortable. We felt like guests in someone's well-loved home, not renters of a BNB. There was off-street parking for our 5 cars and a fenced yard for the dog. None of us wanted to leave. We have already booked this place for our gathering next year. Having stayed in over 50 bnb places in the US and overseas, I can whole heatedly recommend this place. BNB just doesn't get any better than this.

Such a wonderful rental!
During our 3 night stay, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the house, including all those that had hotel rooms in town! Every room was nicely laid out & equipped with everything necessary for a memorable time. I’m not sure it could have worked any better for our family group and we would not hesitate to rent it again in the future! This history of the house made it even more memorable for us all. We can’t thank the owners enough for having this chance to enjoy this home!

Stepping Back in Time in Luxury: A Review
This beautifully restored 1895 mansion is more than just a rental property, it's an experience. The meticulous restoration has preserved the home's grandeur while incorporating modern amenities. Soaring ceilings, intricate woodwork, and original details transport you to a bygone era, while the updated kitchen and bathrooms ensure a comfortable stay. The property is perfect for discerning travelers seeking a unique and luxurious stay, extended family vacations with plenty of room for everyone, and special occasions that deserve a grand setting. As my Grandma from Yreka said “oh my, it’s just as grand and beautiful as I always imaged it would be!” …I think that about sums it up.

Comfortable Stay in a Beautifully Preserved Historic Home
The Gillis House was a perfect stay for my partner and group of friends. Each year we celebrate my birthday, which is around Halloween, by doing a murder-mystery party. Our group of friends have come to expect this every year, and with our recent move to Oregon and everyone else back in California, Yreka happened to be the almost exact mid-point for us to reconvene. Stacey the property manager me us onsite to run through the operation, quirks, and management of the house that has particularities that come with a house of this age and size. There were really no special care instructions that were tedious; every part of the stay was straightforward and mostly care free. On our second night, the ball-and-claw foot tub didn't want to shut off after we bathed the baby before bedtime. Cindy the owner was very responsive to help us troubleshoot and find a solution and didn't interrupt our night at all. We appreciated that everyone communicated very clearly and the house was set up to be very comfortable for our large group, pet friendly for our dog, and had all the modern amenities for a nice enjoyable stay in a beautifully preserved historic home. We will be looking to stay again.

Fabulous property!
We stayed at the Gillis House for a 10-sibling family gathering. We are all seniors, and felt the stairs were easy to navigate. The kitchen and bathrooms were well-appointed. (All of the beds were comfortable, save the twin beds, which could be attributed to not sleeping on one for 55 years.) We have stayed in many VRBO's in 5 states for our annual family gathering over the past 10 years, such as Bandon, Tahoe and Estes Park, and concluded this one was the best for us!

We were a group of 5 couples attending a wedding in Montaque. The Gillis Mansion is like stepping back in time with all the modern amenities. I was amazed at the comfort of the very well-stocked house. Our whole group agrees we would definitely stay at the Gillis Mansion again!

Beyond our expectations!
I grew up in Yreka and have been by this house a thousand times. Being able to stay here and have such a great experience was amazing! I stayed here with my family and my brother's family. There were so much space and never did we feel too crowded. The cleanliness of the house was great. I am pretty picky and I was blown away by what a great job they did with such a large home. All the furnishings fit the house beautifully and the remodeling that was done was very tasteful. The house is beyond stocked for almost anything you like to do. I wish we had more time so that I could've used the incredible kitchen! Communication with the owner was great and easy. We didn't get a chance to meet in person but their property manager was nice to deal with as well. This is such a piece of history for the town of Yreka and I'm grateful that they have kept this house up and are allowing people to stay there. I hope we get another chance to stay here in the future!

Best Vrbo Stay ever...till date
When we first stumbled upon this Mansion on Vrbo, it seemed almost too good to be true. There must be a catch! But everything was as perfect as it seemed on the listing. Cynthia is the most thoughtful, gracious host. We stayed at this mansion with my parents and our friends and had the best experience imaginable. The mansion is located just 5 minutes away from I-5, and we walked to Yreka downtown and coffee shop every single day because it was so close. The mansion has lot of rooms and space to accomodate large parties. It has all the great amenities such as fully equipped 2 kitchens with full cookware and modern dinnerware and glassware. Cynthia was very considerate to provide portable air conditioners for each room, so you’ll have everything you need during your stay. The bedrooms all have their own bathroom and plenty of privacy. We loved the small details such as - multiple mobile chargers provided in each of the rooms and common areas and board games provided for the kids.

Exceeded expectations
This was the best short term rental ever for a siblings reunion. This place is absolutely beautiful... Impressive bedrooms, antique beds and furniture, plenty of bathrooms and large kitchen. It was perfect as it has five bedrooms with more than ample space and privacy. We expected it to be nice but it exceeded our expectations.Hopefully those who rent this place in the future will treat it with the respect and care it deserves so it can be enjoyed for many years to come..

Beautiful historic home worth checking out
This was a very old and historic home and a fun experience to stay at. We were with lots of family, had plenty of bathrooms, beds and space for us all. The home has work that is being done, but did not under our stay. We very much enjoyed the comfort of this amazing space and had a great time exploring the home.

5 Stars -Excellent
This historic home is beautifully restored with museum quality furnishings and artwork. Check-in went smoothly and the home was even better than we expected. We did not have any young children in our group. Parents will need to be extra vigilant if you stay here as the furnishings are exquisite and many look irreplaceable. The beds are exceptionally comfortable. The location was perfect. We walked a few blocks to check out the local stores. The candy shop was a fun stop. The spacious kitchen worked great for our meals. The outside deck was a great place to enjoy the homemade ice cream we made. We also appreciated the upstairs kitchen with coffee and teas. It was very hot during our stay, but the house stayed comfortable with the fans and AC units in bedrooms. Thanks for sharing your lovely home.
