Welcome to The Mill House! Located 1 mile NW of the Billerud Paper Mill, The Mill House is a comfortable, fully furnished and equipped 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom house with vintage charm. This little house is a perfect example of modern world meets old world! The Birds Eye Maple paneling in the entryway and upper bedrooms give off a "golden glow" that will remind you of a cozy vintage lake cottage from the 1940's. We offer a 55" TV with Roku Streaming, free high speed internet, fully equipped kitchen and bathroom and a nice backyard space with a gas grill, patio dining and a firepit (wood provided) for kicking back and relaxing.
Dog of all sizes are welcome, however we do require a $75/PER PET deposit for all dogs during your stay. We do not provide a kennel, however we do have a medium size kennel for use upon request if needed. We do ask that you please clean up after your dogs, both inside and outside the house, keep them contained either by electronic collar or on a leash and please be respectful of our neighbors at all times. Also, if you allow your dogs on the furniture, we do ask that you please bring your own linens/blankets for them to lay on. Just let us know which bed you will be using with them so we can adjust our bedding. If your pets shed and hair starts to accumulate, we do ask that you please run the vacuum.
*We will charge accordingly if additional pets other than originally booked are brought to the property.
