First time visiting! Beautiful location, loved the ponds and ducks. They have picnic tables throughout, looks like you can rent the shelter house. There is also a small playground for the kids. At this time they are only doing ice cream (no food). Prices seem fair as the portions are very large. Highly recommend…

At this time they are only doing ice cream (no food). Prices seem fair as the portions are very large. Highly recommend "Tin Roof" vanilla ice cream, crushed peanuts, hot fudge, whipped cream and a cherry on top..ask for bananas for an extra yummy! The Mill is just beautiful, inside and out. Can't wait to go back!
