Mill & Waterfall: "Top 23 Airbnb's in NC" with Hot Tub!

Summary:
Drink up million dollar views and the best white noise of your life at our creekside gristmill with a private waterfall! Perched atop a 10' Cascade 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 Mountain State Parks, Primland Resort and Vineyards. "Only in Your State" wrote an article on our Airbnb, and named it to the "Top 23 Airbnb's in the State of NC"!

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.

Wonderful peaceful getaway!

The waterfall was the selling feature for me to book this property, and the lovely sound of the water didn’t disappoint; it lulled me to sleep for 4 wonderful nights. I didn’t even notice my hubby snoring lol The rustic setting was fabulous! Staying in a refurbished 1880s mill was a fun experience, learning the history was fascinating, too.

Refreshing vacation!

The deck overlooking the creek and spillway added so much enjoyment! It made for a beautiful way to start and end the day. Our kids enjoyed fishing, finding crayfish and clambering around the rocks in the creek. We all liked the modern farmhouse feel and style of the interior of the house. The beds were very comfortable and the bedroom fans were helpful as it was a hot weekend. Checkout and check-in were easy. We loved our time here!

Quick escape!

My husband and I spent 2 nights here and really enjoyed ourselves. The king bed was a little soft for our liking but still had a good nights sleep. The view is incredible off the deck and the simple decor makes it easy to feel calm and relaxed. Communication and suggestions prior to our visit were very helpful in planning our stay!

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.
