Sylvan Falls Mill B&B

The accommodation provides exceptional customer service, delicious homemade breakfast, and a convenient location near a state park for hiking. Guests appreciated the cozy rooms and comfortable beds.

I have seen this wonderful place listed in some of my waterfall hiking books. It had two of my favorite things, waterfalls and old grist mills. We came to stay there and hike in the area on our anniversary. We stayed in the waterfall room. It was decorated with beautiful antiques. But the best feature of the room is you can see and hear the waterfall. The sound of the waterfall was heavenly. The room also had a ceiling fan that brought in that cool mountain air. But the best feature of the inn is the husband and wife, Linda and Mike. They made us feel welcome and at home. Everything was peaceful. Linda asks the guest before they arrive if they have any food allergies. They try very hard to be very accommodating to their guests. She served us breakfast on the screened porch overlooking the beautiful waterfall. The breakfast was delicious (homemade crepes & skillet potatoes with Hollandaise sauce). We also were served some wonderful pastries and muffins each day for breakfast that featured some of the corn meal or wheat flour that was milled at their old grist mill. The food was top notch. The atmosphere was so relaxing. And you did not feel rushed on eating or anything during our stay. They have also worked hard on the grounds and landscaping. You can go out and sit on the benches in the yard in front of the waterfall and just relax. Both Linda and Mike also offered tips on where to eat in the local area. Each bedroom is private and each has a private bathroom. There are 4 bedrooms. You do not feel crowded there. They also go out of their way to give the guests their privacy. But they also take the time to chat with you if like to socialize. I think they work hard giving the guests what they need. I hope to go back someday. They made us feel welcome. We had a peaceful easy feeling.

What a gem! I was just looking for a place to meet some friends from out of town. What we found was an amazing B&B! I can’t say enough about the gorgeous environment (waterfall, raspberry plants, fire pit, etc.). Our hosts, Linda and Mike, were fantastic and accommodated us in every possible way! The rooms were lovely, the beds and pillows were clean and very comfortable! Breakfast was absolutely fabulous. We were incredibly comfortable and made to feel so at home! I’m looking for a reason to go back and highly recommend that you stay here if you’re looking for any overnight trips to Clayton!
