Waterfall Dreams|Hot Tub|Hike|Stargaze

Summary:
Fall asleep to a waterfall; Perched atop 10' Cascades on the Hanging Rock Scenic Byway, the c.1881 RW George Mill boasts mountain air, a spring-fed creek, hot tub, swimming holes, stargazing, sabbatical-worthy seclusion and reconstruction-era history all in one spellbinding property. Be still, my heart!

Kayak/tube the Dan River or fish your creek! 5 minutes from Luna's Trail Venue and ~15mi from Mt Airy, Hanging Rock + Pilot Mtn State Parks, Primland Resort and Vineyards.

The Space:
At the top of the driveway, you'll hear the 10' falls before you see them. As you walk into the Mill, be greeted by soaring 12' ceilings, & modern industrial décor with historic accents. Pass through the glass French doors onto a spacious deck for jaw-dropping unimpeded views through glass railings of the falls and pools below, tree tops, and the walking path on the property. You'll feel a change in the air-- the crashing of the falls fills each breath with a charged, rejuvenating energy. Honestly, the space is fiercely beautiful and try as we may, we just cannot seem to do it justice in words.

From the large entry doors into the first floor you'll access the kitchen, dining table, living area with Smart TV, deck access, and bathroom with laundry. The second floor has 1 King Bedroom facing the falls, 1 Queen bedroom with creek views, and an open space with twin bunk bed and separate futon couch. We use Free & Clear Unscented laundry detergent on bedding and towels so our guests with sensitivities to perfumed products can breath easy.

Please note there is no bathroom on the second floor, and the stairs are original to the Mill-- they're a bit steep. At night, small children may appreciate a portable potty upstairs for convenience.

Guest Access:
The property is yours to explore. You'll access the house with a key obtained from a lockbox beside the front door. There are meditation and yoga platforms, swimming areas in the creek, a hot tub, and a walking path along the property. There is a gas grill and utensils, and plenty of sitting spots by the creek.

For your safety, guests are strictly prohibited from approaching the top of the dam or the concrete channel between the Mill and Creek.

The Neighborhood:
Oh honey, take a deep breath and relax. You're in the country now.

Getting Around:
There's plenty of parking in the driveway- just go slowly and be careful. Boundaries are marked with reflectors and logs.

Other Things to Note:
Nature is wild, beautiful and powerful- respect the water (especially in times of flooding- stay far back and admire), enjoy wildlife from afar, and generally use common sense in this natural haven. Leaving food scraps behind attracts unwanted animals, and spoils the vista for future guests. We want each guest to get to enjoy the pristine atmosphere of this amazing historic location; please leave no trace of your visit, including corn cobs, watermelon rinds, citrus peels, etc.

We are not able to host any sort of weddings or large gatherings. The maximum capacity of the mill is 6 people.

Interaction with Guests:
We have fallen sappily in love with this area of the Blue Ridge Mountains and we want you to, as well! We are happy to answer questions that you may have whether it's a hankering for a local wine, a need for one more waterfall sighting, or a good plate of Mexican food, we are happy to help you find the closest and best place to make that happen.

We want you to be able to settle into this home as if it was your own. We'll stay out of your way, but we're just a quick message away if you have questions about restaurants, events or the house, or if an unexpected issue arises.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a spa tub or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Enchanting Home Away From Home
The home is so inviting, comfy and full of history. The water is mesmerizing and tranquil. The area is surrounded by majestic mountains, walking trails that lead to serene waterfalls and an abundance of wildlife. It is like stepping into a little piece of heaven!

Unique Rental
A unique, historical, relaxing, fun place to stay. Amazing deck!!! Convenient to Hanging Rock, Pilot Mountain and Mt.Airy. Comfy bed and well stocked kitchen. Heat worked very fast on our cold morning! Great communication with the owner!! We only wished we had known how close it was to the Taproom! Thanks

Serene
We always bring our white noise machine when we go on trips. It turned out that machine was totally unnecessary for this trip. The sight and sound of the waterfall provided a serene backdrop to this cozy cabin. Make sure you take a trip to the grocery store (we went to Food Lion) to get groceries if you’re staying for more than a day. The only thing we would wish for is to have easier access to the water. We made our way there and enjoyed the crisp, cool water!

Hidden gem!!!!
We absolutely loved our stay here!! The waterfall was amazing! The view is incredible! We love old homes so this was right up our alley. They have done an amazing job with it so far and can't wait to visit again in the winter months!!! Definitely adding this spot to one of our routine locations!

Just us girls
My Mom and I were on the last leg of our girls trip and heading back to Virginia from Myrtle Beach and we wanted our last night to be unique and memorable - not another hotel stay! We couldnt have asked for more!! The renovated Mill was so beautiful and the river views were exactly what we needed! We enjoyed our morning coffee in the hot tub and then took a walk around the property before heading home. I would definitely go back and highly recommend this property.

Peaceful
This is a peaceful place to stay! The porch by the waterfall was a great place to land after a long hike! The waterfall can be heard in the house which was wonderful for us. The single bathroom required planning with four of us staying, but we knew that going in. The inside furniture was minimalistic and the couch was worn. We didn’t mind much since we spent most of our time outside. Cell service around the house is minimal so communication with group members should be done prior to departing. The house is hard to see but the host did great with the description to get us there. Check in and out was easy and the beds were comfortable enough for us! The property is beautiful along the creek!

Great getaway!
Such a great house in a cool area. We went for a long weekend and spent the first afternoon at a vineyard nearby which was surprisingly great. Then a full day hiking through Hanging Rock State Park before having a beer at a nearby brewery and a nice dinner nearby. The house itself is beautiful and clean and full of character! We had packed our time but got a little bit to sit on the deck and enjoy the waterfalls. Hope to come back!

Great spot for a relaxing getaway.
I was looking for somewhere to just relax and unwind for my birthday and this place was perfect. I enjoyed taking in the view and sounds of the waterfall on the back deck, walking the property for different views, and having a soak in the hot tub. Clean place, comfortable bed, owner provides good info about the area and responds quickly.

The Mill
We have been to some fabulous places in our travels and this one is definitely in the top five. Never been more relaxed, the hot tub was the best, this property is just perfect. The waterfall was mesmerizing and lulled us to sleep every night. Can't believe we had our own waterfall! Will absolutely drive the 7 hours just to stay here again.

A Great Experience
Our family enjoyed our stay at this unique property. It was one of the best rental experiences we've had. Check-in and check-out processes were simple, and the owner provided a lot of clear and helpful information about the property and the area. The beds were comfortable, and the waterfall and river are beautiful. Our whole family enjoyed exploring the property during our stay. We also hiked at Pilot Mountain and Hanging Rock State Parks. It is a remote area, but we were prepared for that, as well as details the owner and other reviewers mentioned (first floor bathroom, steep staircase). We would definitely stay here again.
