Recent Mills River guest reviews

We enjoyed our stay. Everything was first class. The home is comfortable and has everything you need.
Angela B. | Nov 2025
Our large family absolutely loved staying at this cabin. Plenty of room for everyone and space to enjoy the outside and inside. The appliances were top notch and bedrooms were very comfortable. We really enjoyed the outside porch and fire pit. The location is remote and still accessible to a grocery store and local restaurants.
Florence H. | Nov 2025
The house was so amazing. We had a group of 7 adults staying at the property for a friend’s wedding. The property was spacious, clean and well maintained. We especially enjoyed the back porch. Our friend group is talking about renting the property this time next year.
