Clayton's 1910 Millhouse has been in our family for almost 100 years. We took all our experience on VRBO and totally updated it, combining the best of the new while keeping the atmosphere of days gone by.
The house will be decorated for Christmas around December 1st through the first week of January.
Relax on the front porch rockers overlooking the small lake or enjoy the sun setting on the deck where it is not unusual to see deer in the evenings.
On the inside, we have updated every room. Enjoy your favorite movie on the 70-inch TVs located in the living room and bedroom.
The house is decorated for Christmas with old and new items keeping the flavor of our historical house.
Clayton's house was built by The Virginia Mills Company in 1910. The mill burned down but some of the houses remain. This one has been in our family for almost 100 years.
In 2021/2022 we took our experience with VRBO to create an experience that we hope you will love. Everything is totally renovated yet we kept the atmosphere of a 1910 house. Several pieces of furniture are original to the house, such as the pie safe.
Whether you are coming to the area to relax or work you will find this house an excellent choice.
The living room features two leather couches, a gas fireplace, a 70 inch smart TV, games, Alexa, and Alexa-enabled lights to create a variety of settings and moods.
The bedroom has a king-size memory foam mattress, room darkening shades, a 70 inch TV, charging plugs for your phones and tablets, Alexa to play your favorite music, and Alexa-enabled lights. We even have two beds for your pets should you need them.
The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook including oven, microwave, and air fryer along with locally sourced coffee and many spices.
The bathroom was completely remodeled and features a rain shower.
The second bedroom is small but features two bunk beds and a Jeffersonian-era desk and a mailbox lamp, which was chosen because Clayton has mailbox 1 when Swepsonville had a post office.
Outside the property sits on one acre. The front porch overlooks the small lake and on weekends in the summer local bands usually play at the Swepsonville Market which is across the lake. When playing you can sit on the porch and listen to the music or walk across the lake and hear the band firsthand.
On the back deck, you can relax with the firepit during the evenings or grill your favorite food. The backyard is fenced in if you are bringing your pets
If you own an electric car we have a level 2 EV charger installed with J1772 and Tesla adapter for your convenience.
