The Mill House is located on one of the most beautiful and tranquil settings you will ever see. Overlooking the lake spillway on beautiful Mirror Lake, the Cullasaja River wraps the house surrounded by Native Rhododendron and Mountain Laurel. Outside, enjoy the beauty of the property, with a water wheel, rushing water, two canoes, a river, and Mirror Lake full of fish, all available for your enjoyment. With over 100 years of history, this completely renovated mill offers a unique, peaceful retreat. The large deck is great for outdoor dining, and the big kitchen table is perfect for indoor meals.
Main Level:
The recently renovated kitchen offers all the modern amenities, perfect for preparing meals for both small and large groups. The spacious family room and den provide plenty of room for relaxation. A comfortable sitting area in the primary bedroom offers a fireplace and beautiful views of the surrounding nature. This level also includes a large deck, a screened porch with a water view, and easy access to the kitchen and den.
Upper Level:
The upper level features a covered porch overlooking the river on two sides of the house. There are three bedrooms on this level, plus a bunk room with two sets of bunk beds (four bunk beds in total), making it ideal for larger groups or families. Each bedroom offers a peaceful retreat with views of the river and surrounding nature.
Lower Level:
The lower level offers another screened porch by the river, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sound of rushing water. The sitting area next to a goldfish pond overlooks the river and Mirror Lake, providing a peaceful setting. This level also has easy access to the family fire pit and offers plenty of private spaces to relax, read, or enjoy the cool mountain air.
Outdoor Spaces:
Just off the dining room, step onto the open deck set right beside the river, complete with an outdoor dining set and extra seating—perfect for meals with a view. On the opposite side of the kitchen, a screened-in porch with plush patio furniture offers a cozy place to unwind and connects directly to the den. The main-level primary bedroom features its own private deck with seating, while the upper-level primary suite has a private balcony for two that wraps around to the guest room. At the front of the home, gather around the firepit for cozy evenings under the stars.
What our guests are saying…
"Great home, minutes from downtown Highlands, but very private with the sound of the spillway and the river flowing around the property. Enjoyed the firepit overlooking the spillway of Mirror Lake and had fun fishing. Very comfortable for adults, teens, and children." - Rent In Highlands Vacation Rental Guest, Carl
