Linda and Mike were outstanding hosts and welcoming to us. They were accommodating to special diet needs, and anxious to meet our requests. Food was delicious, the sitting area was cozy and our room was perfect. If it were possible we’d give 10 stars. Mike us a tour of the mill and a history of the property that made the whole experience fulfilling.

One of the most unique properties we have ever stayed at. Breakfast was amazing. The owner's were very attentive, friendly and accommodating. We will return to Linda and Mike's B & B. Sylvan Falls actually runs next to the house and powers the mill that grinds a variety of products. FABULOUS!!

The property consists of a water fall powered mill dating from the early 19th century. As an historic building, it is old, but well maintained. If you are looking for a modern place to stay with a lot of amenities on site, this place is not for you. If, however, you enjoy living history, in a quiet mountain surrounding, run by friendly, welcoming people, this IS your place. The breakfasts were amazing and I really loved the waterfall and surrounding area. I will come here again.

Liven in the ruff
It is rustic. Wild natural plants in landscaping. Nice to listen to waterfall near breakfast room where you're out of the hot sun. Beds and air conditioning are not the best but doable. I have a service dog, so we were placed in a room that is older. Breakfast was very good. They grind their own flour from their old mill. Also, make natural soaps.

The inn is nestled next to a creek that descends precipitously and forcefully over and through large boulders, which creates a delightful setting for the facility. The first impression though is that the property needs sprucing up. Exterior is moldy and dingy and the common area that greeted us is musty and hot because there is no ac in that area. All interior trim, at least, needs cleaning and paint. That being painfully said however, we genuinely
liked Mike and Linda and appreciate their love for our earth, and understand their choices for no ac, which is probably not needed most of the year, and minimalism as culture screams for us to consume more and discard and fill the earth with plastic landfills and all the other waste, I see them as pushing back against the culture and value that integrity. The breakfast was amazing, Johnny cakes made from corn harvested in the valley and milled at Sylvan Mill, delicious scones, and sausage. Mike is a wonderful chef and Linda is a very attentive host with a true servant's heart. The coffee could have been hotter though. We brought home some grits they milled from corn there in the valley and they are wonderful! Overall, we enjoyed our stay, especially our conversation with these nice people!!
