William Cottrill
“Thanks so much for your hospitality and generosity.  It has been great being able to stay in Graves Mill surrounded by these great mountains and friendly people.  I know that I will miss the frogs singing at night and the quietness and absence of vehicles that only the countryside can bring.  Anyone who enjoys fishing should grab a pole and hit the Rapidan for some native brook.”

Sarah Simmons
Coal Fork, West Virginia
“We hope to return and sing again while you play the piano.  This visit has been beautiful—warm and spiritual.  Your hospitality is so special.”

Mary Lee Crymes

“My soul is restored!  Your home has surrounded me with beauty—the hills, the home, the visit.  Thank you so much.”

Colleen Pemberton
Phoenix, Arizona
“Thanks for sharing so much with me.  I admire your courage.  This is such a beautiful place.”

Bob Dickie
Swartz Creek, Michigan
“This is the ultimate in tranquil relaxation.  My last assignment in the United States Air Force was as an Aide-de-Camp to a Four Star General and Pacific Air Force Commander.  We traveled all over the world and stayed in the best hotels and resorts our host countries had to offer.  With that said, although the Old Mill House offers a different atmosphere from those establishments, it definitely ranks among my all-time favorites.”

Terry Longpre
Ellenton, Florida
“After riding with Rolling Thunder from Florida to DC and experiencing the emotions of the past week, I really needed the few quiet, peaceful days I’ve spent here at The Old Mill House.  Enjoying the vistas seems to bring one back in line with nature and disconnects us from the noise and fast pace of being city dwellers.”
