Sylvan Falls Mill B&B | Bed & Breakfast in Rabun Gap

Plenty of old world charm at Sylvan Falls with a working gristmill, beautiful waterfall, and some amazing history. This all combined with great food, and exceptional personalized service. We were treated like family and look forward to our next stay.

The waterfall next to the lodge was amazing. Mike and Linda were great. Food was very good.

Linda and Mike were outstanding hosts and welcoming to us. They were accommodating to special diet needs, and anxious to meet our requests. Food was delicious, the sitting area was cozy and our room was perfect. If it were possible we’d give 10 stars. Mike us a tour of the mill and a history of the property that made the whole experience fulfilling.

Cozy, warm energy, lovely setting, great service If we are in this area again we would stay again. Felt like we made life long friends.

We loved that this is a hidden gem in the mountains! The waterfall is mesmerizing! Linda and Mike prepared delicious breakfasts for us using locally sourced ingredients. This is a very peaceful retreat, and I would highly recommend it as a getaway!!

Very good from start to finish!

It is rustic. Wild natural plants in landscaping. Nice to listen to waterfall near breakfast room where you're out of the hot sun. Beds and air conditioning are not the best but doable. I have a service dog, so we were placed in a room that is older. Breakfast was very good. They grind their own flour from their old mill. Also, make natural soaps.

The inn is nestled next to a creek that descends precipitously and forcefully over and through large boulders, which creates a delightful setting for the facility. The first impression though is that the property needs sprucing up. Exterior is moldy and dingy and the common area that greeted us is musty and hot because there is no ac in that area. All interior trim, at least, needs cleaning and paint. That being painfully said however, we genuinely liked Mike and Linda and appreciate their love for our earth, and understand their choices for no ac, which is probably not needed most of the year, and minimalism as culture screams for us to consume more and discard and fill the earth with plastic landfills and all the other waste, I see them as pushing back against the culture and value that integrity. The breakfast was amazing, Johnny cakes made from corn harvested in the valley and milled at Sylvan Mill, delicious scones, and sausage. Mike is a wonderful chef and Linda is a very attentive host with a true servant's heart. The coffee could have been hotter though. We brought home some grits they milled from corn there in the valley and they are wonderful! Overall, we enjoyed our stay, especially our conversation with these nice people!!

I facilities and owners were top shelf.

Amazing property. Quiet. Beautiful falls next to the Bed and Breakfast. Fine and tasty breakfast. Very special place.
