This was our second stay! It’s so cozy and special. We love the sound of the river and the eclecticness of the rooms! Plus Ron and Linda are the perfect hosts. Can’t wait to return.
Amazing stay with even better hosts. Ron and Linda do a great job running the mill and creating a comfortable stay for guests. From the history and details of the mill, to the views from every window, to breakfast each morning, to DJ Ron's music happy hour, our family had a wonderful two day stay to this property. Highly recommend.
Like staying in your own museum. Amazing transition of this historical place. Ron and Linda are amazing hosts. Once in a lifetime vacation spot. The river is beautiful and refreshing. The vinyl concert is a must! Let Ron know you're in as soon as you arrive.
The gristmill is a very unique place! It is surrounded by a breath-taking natural area, and the building has been lovingly restored and has so many interesting details to explore. We had an amazing time checking out both our comfortable accommodations and the very fun and beautiful river. Not only is the Kingsley Gristmill property truly spectacular, but the hosts are beyond super hosts. Ron and Linda anticipate everything you would need- They provide a delicious breakfast each morning, tubes for floating in the river, and make excellent recommendations about food and activities in the area, all while maintaining your privacy. Do not hesitate to book a stay! We hope to return, and we will definitely take Ron up on a concert. He was kind enough to show us his extensive vinyl collection and the sound quality on his sound system is unbelievable.
