Recent Mills River guest reviews

We were in town for a lacrosse tournament and this house was perfect. So many upgrades and the owners did a great job of making sure every detail was taken care of. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything that we needed and more. The beds were all very comfortable. Can’t say enough great things about it! Thanks for the perfect stay!

We enjoyed our stay, especially the porch! It was a perfect layout for our family!
Sally H. | May 2025
Nice House - Awesome Property and Location - Attention to small details lacking on this year's visit, enough to lower the rating from 5 to 4.
