Summer is in full swing
Summer is in full swing at Gillespie House Inn and what a start we are enjoying. Our first time as innkeepers during the Parrsboro International Plein Air Festival was an experience we will always treasure. The community was abuzz with creative energy from the extraordinary artists who filled our town

what our guests are saying
Gillespie House Inn acknowledges that we work and live in Mi’kma’ki, the traditional/ancestral territory of the Mi’kmaq People who have a distinct and significant history and heritage. We also recognize that African Nova Scotians are a distinctive people whose histories, legacies and contributions have enriched this part of Mi’kma’ki known as Nova Scotia for more than 400 years. In the 18th century, Mi’kmaq people and the British Crown entered historic Peace and Friendship Treaties, that created treaty relationships within Mi’kma’ki. We are all Treaty People.
