Wonderful Stay
This a perfect property to relax. You are close enough to the stores and restaurants, yet its set in an area away from the busy town. Downtown is a short distance away and it is a quaint little town that is peaceful to walk in. Our family will definitely stay here again if we are back in the area Reasonably priced and easy check-in.

Nice getaway
I believe the online summary was a bit overrated! It says you can swim, fish and kayak yet there are signs posted that tell you none of that is allowed. We were also led to believe the mill was open and running for tours but it indeed was not. It is empty buildings. It was a nice place and we would definitely consider staying again. We just had higher hopes due to what we read online

Close to Chattanooga but So Serene!
Loved this house and would rent again! The river right there makes sitting out on that deck such a joy in the morning with coffee or at sunset with a glass of wine. The teenagers loved it and it was close enough to go into Chattanooga easily for activities. We cooked every day in the kitchen without any problems. There id a Food Lion a few blocks away with everything you need and they do have pickup so I pre-ordered before we came! It is attached to a Mill and museum but itvwas a holdiay weekend and it was barely noticeable. Entry was easy too. Plenty of towels, 3 TVs (if you even use them which we barely did), wi-fi and even built in chargers in the living room and bedrooms. Couldnt ask for anything more!

Family Christmas vacation
This place was more then what we expected. The home was cozy and a welcoming feeling. The view of the mill was beautiful at sunrise and sunset. If I was to rate on a scale of 1-10 I would give it a 10 x 20. We are planning on staying here again for our summer vacation. The price was just a added bonus.

Basic accommodations for a decent value in a unique and historic location.
We enjoyed our family stay. The grounds are great and we liked the area a lot. It's close to a few restaurants and a large grocery store. The reason for 4 stars out of 5 are a few small things that I would have liked to have known before booking. It was very clean, except for the very light colored couch which was very stained and a bit dingy. The kitchen did not contain enough silverware, dishwasher tabs, or any basic pantry items like salt and pepper, sugar, coffee filters etc. There was also no shampoo or conditioner In either bathroom. The lights and street noise is present, so it is not a remote country location. I would not recommend having a group of more than 4 people due to the layout and furniture /small bed choices. Overall, I would recommend it for the area, but please just be aware of the things you will need to bring including some nice fluffy pillows if you don't like sleeping on very cheap flat ones. If these small improvements were made , it would go a long way.

If you are looking for a place secluded and in the country this isn’t it but it worked good for our family. Kids enjoyed the creek behind the house. It is Convenient to restaurants. Make sure to check out the Battlefield of Chickamauga visitor center just 4 miles away too. Only complaint need more pans to cook with

Nice place to relax away from city
Property was quiet very peaceful just the way we like it. But there were a few things that needs improvement like the couch was not clean. There was dirt underneath the cushions. We couldn't make the grill work. The outside cooler was not clean and There was clothes left behind in the master bedroom chest.

Great place to stay!
From the time we arrived until the time we left we had no complaints at all. Yes it’s an historical site so you may see people from time to time visiting the mill, but no one ever bothered us. I do recommend buying so tubes from Walmart ($6) and floating from the Mill to the shallow area (approx. 50 yards) just to have some fun which the kids and adults loved it. Close restaurants, grocery store, and fast food places nearby which was also a plus. Very peaceful at night while sitting back on the deck and there’s a grill on the deck as well. Would stay there again !

Loved the view
The house is cute. Just big enough for my family of 4. We had a few issues but the management handled it promptly. one issue I didn’t care for is that the side door is all glass and there’s nothing covering it. The rental is in a park and people come and go all day and night. It would be great to have a blind there. We didn’t mind the visitors. Every one was nice! The main problem I had is that the entire porch area was infested with chiggers. The owner said he would spray but unfortunately It wouldn’t have helped our visit in time. Hopefully for the next family they will be gone. I would recommend the place and would stay again!

Great Place To Stay
I am OCD and sometimes critical, but this home met many of my standards. It was tidy, clean and organized. I was surprised to the uniformity of beds, dressers, TV’s etc. it was not too much and it was not too little. Loved the washer and dryer right in the bathroom and the number of dishes available as not to have to wash each dish as you use it. It was convenient to all the attractions we visited and the property itself was beautiful. Here are a few points to mention. The coffee pot only holds 4 cups. A larger one should be added. The outside chairs are weathering and beginning to tear and should be replaced. Each side of the beds should each have a night stand for convenience. All bulbs should always be checked after each visit and replaced as necessary. Bar Keepers Friend is an excellent cleaner for smooth top surfaces on stoves and should be used to clean the stove between stays. All of which are very petty to some degree. To future visitors. . . The home sits in a lovely historical park, but faces a 3 way stop sign the is a sharp left in the turning direction. This is a moderately travelled route. The traffic will come to a stop and slowly make the turn. Although the home is situated down a small hill, the luxury of having complete privacy isn’t available. You can sit on the side porch with a little more privacy, but rain or wind would push you to the front porch. There wasn’t much traffic in the park during our holiday stay, but I imagine with warmer weather, more visitors would travel through. There is just the one home with a banquet home next door and a museum under the home that didn’t appear overly visited. The home is attached to a larger room in the back, but you would never know. The home was very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. We would visit again.

Clean and well-maintained
This was a great location, convenient to anywhere we planned to visit. It is clearly a clean and well-maintained property. The creek and mill were a nice addition to our stay, but people do stop by to visit it and take pictures, so you have to comfortable with that as well. The only down side is that while it sleeps 6, it does not really accommodate that many comfortably for sitting and dining. While we were on the go most of the day, in the evening it wasn't really easy to gather together to watch tv or play a board game. We made it work, but would probably not stay here again with more than 3-4 people. In addition, the headlights from the traffic on the road do shine right in the front bedroom windows at night. If you are a light sleeper this can be an issue. There is no traffic noise and it was nice that the house was so quiet despite the busy street.

Chickamauga Mill house
We had a great stay! This is a super unique property, on the creek with the old mill right next door! House is the top level of a veteran’s museum, but I don’t think it’s operating currently. Super, clean and comfortable, it was perfect for our family of 5. We stayed right after a heavy rain fall and much enjoyed watching the creek rise and rush by and exploring the grounds. It’s about 20-30 minutes from Chattanooga and there is a grocery store and several other restaurants less than a mile away! Highly recommend!

Nothing but good things to say
As someone who has studied Civil War history, I had seen pictures of the mill before even realizing that you could rent onsite property for a stay. It's picturesque at all hours there at the house, and we enjoyed visiting the creek daily. There is ample sleeping space, and the living room and kitchen being a tad on the smaller side didn't really matter since we spent most of everyday outside of the house. There are places to eat and numerous historical markers within walking distance, Chickamauga battlefield is only a stone's throw away, and you're within a 20 minute drive to Cloudland Canyon state park, downtown Chattanooga, and numerous attractions on and around Lookout Mountain. The property manager responded to messages timely, and the description/pictures matched what we received. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and I'm hopeful that we'll be able to return someday.
