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!

Montaque Wedding

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!
