The Perfect Getaway

The historic Mill House was new family favorite. It was the perfect weekend getaway for a large family. The outdoor fire pit was a big hit for the children! The tranquil setting alongside the falls was extraordinary! We loved every second but next time we hope to stay longer!

A Family Christmas in Highkands

The Mill House was a perfect place for my family and young grandsons. Enough room to spread out. Comfortable beds. Great outdoor area with big fire pit. And right on the dam and the river ran under our deck. We decorated it for Christmas. Many family memories made! Would definitely go back!

Yet Another Perfect Vacation!

We were fortunate enough to get to spend our second Thanksgiving in your wonderful cabin. The Mill House is just charming, from the first time you drive onto the property, to the late-evening family fire-pit time outside listening to the beautiful falls, and everything else in between. We had plenty of spacious bedrooms and bathrooms for our large extended family, we spent as much time outdoors as we did indoors, and we loved every minute of our trip. Thank you so much for creating such a warm, comfortable, and beautiful place to create new family memories.
