Reviews of Sylvan Falls Mill B&B

When we arrived the room was 85 degrees. The windows were open and the humidity was so high the bedding felt damp. Whole room smelled of mildew and was decorated with dusty and tattered junk like what you might pull out of your basement for a yard sale. The tiny window box AC unit took 2 hours to cool the room. In fairness the bathroom was nice and the screen porch in the main building had a lovely view of a waterfall. However, the screen porch is also filled with dusty junk, and smells of mildew. Breakfast was waffles, pastries, and fruit. It was actually pretty good, but my stomach was in knots because the lady that runs it was so mean to us at check in I was actively avoiding her whenever possible. We were the only guests and I can see why. Would not stay there again if they paid me. It’s sad, because the location is nice, but it’s badly mismanaged. Avoid if possible.

We loved that this is a hidden gem in the mountains! The waterfall is mesmerizing! Linda and Mike prepared delicious breakfasts for us using locally sourced ingredients. This is a very peaceful retreat, and I would highly recommend it as a getaway!!

Very good from start to finish!

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!!

I facilities and owners were top shelf.

Our trip to Sylvan Falls Bed and Breakfast

Amazing property. Quiet. Beautiful falls next to the Bed and Breakfast. Fine and tasty breakfast. Very special place.

The owners was amazing and the place was so amazing. We wiil be back

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.

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!!

It is a still working mill and together Mike and Linda team up to provide excellent and healthy food using the mill as well and old cook books. Dinner was fabulous and breakfast was a surprise each time. The house is old obviously, but is kept very clean. We even got clean towels daily! We certainly recommend to have a romantic dinner on the day of arrival sitting at the porch overlooking the waterfall!

Room next to waterfall amazing and yummy breakfast!

What a great place to stay and relax. Linda and Mike are great host. Very quit and relaxing. The waterfall with its rushing water was so relaxing and calming. Will definitely visit again.

Great B&B

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.

My wife and I LOVED this B&B! The waterfall and mill were absolutely old world beautiful. Linda and Mike were gracious hosts and so personable! Breakfast was spectacular! We will be back!

Beautiful stay

My wife was thrilled with our stay. Linda our host is a treasure. Breakfast on the porch was very relaxing and delicious! She also served us a glass of port in the evening!

Beautiful setting and hosts were friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was among the very best that we’ve had at any B&B.

This B&B is perfect!!

This property was amazing and beautiful! Mike and Linda go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and right at home. The food was amazing! Mike and Linda make everything homemade with all the freshest food from local farmers as well as the corn, grains, and flour they personally grind themselves and the mill that is still in operation! If you’re looking for a quite peaceful place to just get away from it all as well as tranquility and beauty this is definitely the place to go!!
