Sylvan Falls Mill B&B

We enjoyed our stay very much. The room was spacious and comfortable. There was plenty of hot water. The breakfast was very classy. The hosts asked what time we wanted to eat and when we got down there, a lovely table was set for us with china and cloth napkins. There were several delicious dishes served each day, with many ingredients sourced locally. We enjoyed the tour of the mill and all the information the host shared with us about its history. It's still in operation today. Clayton is only about 10 minutes away and they provided us several good restaurant recommendations. Overall, a great experience.

We were there almost 2 months ago in December and I am just now writing a review. We had a great time. We stayed 5 nights. Just wanted a getaway for awhile. The area is not at its prettiest in early Dec., but we knew that. We cherish our stay at Sylvan Falls Mill. Linda & Mike are super nice people. We had some excellent conversations and they know their community so well. All breakfasts are made using local organic ingredients (farm to table) and were excellent. If you are looking for 5 star accommodations, this aint the place. But, It is a very homey comfortable place. It is a great place to recharge your batteries, so to speak. Would we return? In a heartbeat!

I have seen this wonderful place listed in some of my waterfall hiking books. It had two of my favorite things, waterfalls and old grist mills. We came to stay there and hike in the area on our anniversary. We stayed in the waterfall room. It was decorated with beautiful antiques. But the best feature of the room is you can see and hear the waterfall. The sound of the waterfall was heavenly. The room also had a ceiling fan that brought in that cool mountain air. But the best feature of the inn is the husband and wife, Linda and Mike. They made us feel welcome and at home. Everything was peaceful. Linda asks the guest before they arrive if they have any food allergies. They try very hard to be very accommodating to their guests. She served us breakfast on the screened porch overlooking the beautiful waterfall. The breakfast was delicious (homemade crepes & skillet potatoes with Hollandaise sauce). We also were served some wonderful pastries and muffins each day for breakfast that featured some of the corn meal or wheat flour that was milled at their old grist mill. The food was top notch. The atmosphere was so relaxing. And you did not feel rushed on eating or anything during our stay. They have also worked hard on the grounds and landscaping. You can go out and sit on the benches in the yard in front of the waterfall and just relax. Both Linda and Mike also offered tips on where to eat in the local area. Each bedroom is private and each has a private bathroom. There are 4 bedrooms. You do not feel crowded there. They also go out of their way to give the guests their privacy. But they also take the time to chat with you if like to socialize. I think they work hard giving the guests what they need. I hope to go back someday. They made us feel welcome. We had a peaceful easy feeling.

Very good from start to finish!

We were going to stay here until the lady explain the rules that they follow from the CDC. She said that the vaccinated folks would get to eat first then what was left over the unvaccinated could have. For some reason I could not find that rule in the CDC guidelines. Really Lady...........

Set next to a beautiful waterfall that powers the mill. Lots of hiking and walking opportunities in the area. A wonderful breakfast was included the next morning. We thuroughly enjoyed our stay and wish we could have stayed another night.
