The historic Sylvan Falls Mill, located in the scenic mountains of north east Georgia, is celebrating its 168th year of operation. It is unique among other gristmills, in that it is located below a 100-foot cascading waterfall, and the mill is powered by a 27-foot water wheel, which is one of the largest in the United States.

There are many unique features that will make your stay memorable. Join the butterflies and hummingbirds as you meander through a garden of flowers and herbs. Catch some quiet time on the garden bench located below the cascading waterfall. Enjoy walks or jogs along the quiet country road leading to Black Rock State Park, and to peaceful Wolffork Valley. Take an evening stroll to the nearby pavilion on Black Rock Lake, and catch a spectacular display of planets and stars in the clear, dark sky.
