The INn by the Mill B&B consists of the 1894 mill house, barn, carriage house, 1888 hog house and 1835 Stone Grist Mill built alongside the Timmerman Creek. The Historical 1835 Stone Grist Mill once part of the Underground Railroad.

Views from the Cottages show the deer feeding in the forest across the waterfall gorge. Deluxe continental breakfast plus home-made breads and pastries. Fully stocked kitchens, private baths, game parlors.

    Wonderful place

    November 11, 2012

    We loved it here. We stayed in the Garden Room. Everything was perfectly cleaned. Although, you need to make your own breakfast, the refrig. is well stocked, Coffee is always set to brew and the homemade desserts are to die for. Judith & Ron are perfect hosts - Ron is hysterical.

    Like finding a gemstone when you were only looking for nice rocks!

    August 26, 2012

    This place was far better than my expectations. The care, love, and attention to detail is unmatched in any other place we have ever stayed. Run by wonderful, friendly, and very helpful people, Ron and Judith were one of the most enjoyable parts of our stay. And Judith's home-made gourmet treats were beyond compare. I gave up my favorite ice cream to have another piece of the Oreo Truffle. The grounds and setting are just beautiful, and you could fall asleep listening to the pleasant sounds of the waterfalls. Make sure to leave time for conversations with the owners, who have delightful stories to share. An aspiring author should really make an extended stay there and get Ron to let his stories be written down for others to enjoy! A 5-star stay, and we will go back for sure.

    Perfect b&b and owners could not be nicer

    August 08, 2012

    Loved how they keep the old mill in perfect condition for being built in the 1800 and the homestead was a perfect getaway. We will be going back again for another get away.

    The best time

    August 06, 2012

    Never been to a bed and breakfast and if they all are run like this will try some others. The owners were more than helpful with dinner reservations and information. The little things that were done made the whole trip worth it.

    Down by the Oldl Mill Stream

    August 01, 2012

    Spent a wonderful weekend at Cliffside Cottage complete with running stream and hot tub. Refrigerator was generously stocked and Judith's home cooked baking put us on a crash diet on Monday!

    My visit to Inn by the Mill

    July 22, 2012

    this is a very unique concept and was a very positive experience. Wonderful cottage with ample space, comfortable deck with chairs, and a hot tube for marvelous views and the relaxing sound of a water rushing out of the mountains. Refrigerator was generoulsly stocked and home made baked items were plentiful and delicious. The value rating was only two stars as it was quuite expensive even though the surroundings were beautiful and comfortable. Great dinner experience at the nearby Beardslee Castle.

    I loved the mill wheels

    July 06, 2012

    The mill house is where we stayed. It was so peaceful and it was a stay that was great that we are going back next year. The owners are as nice as there place is.
