    This property allowed my family & I to truly disconnect from the busy world & become present. We cooked, we danced, we swam & we spend quality time with each other - not to mention the scenery is beyond gorgeous!

    This cottage is absolutely beautiful and picturesque. We met our children there and had a wonderful reunion. It's perfect for hanging out and catching up. Also Pittsboro is a great little town to explore. Finally the hosts are wonderful warm welcoming people.

    This location and cottage is perfect for a couple or a family. It is such a beautiful and quiet location. The history of the Grist Mill is something you do not want to miss. The caretaker is very knowledgeable and a gracious host.

    Comfortable for a family holiday getaway. The property is just lovely inside and out. Quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed a personal tour of the historical mill, the kitchen was great for cooking all our meals in, and outdoor and porch spaces were so relaxing. Definitely recommend!

    The property and setting are beautiful. The property manager, Grimsley is extremely nice, and was willing to do anything he could to make my stay more enjoyable and comfortable. I especially enjoyed kayaking on the stretch of water adjoining the property. I would definitely want to stay here again if I come back to North Carolina. Thank you Grimsley!
