The Inn at Gristmill Square

"We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary on Saturday the 20th of January to Sunday the 21st, at the Gristmill Inn. The Barley room was very nice, clean and comfortable. Originally we booked the Loft room, but because of some issues, we couldn’t stay there. Kate was very accommodating and kind about the matter. We appreciated that greatly! We had a great pickled shrimp appetizer and seafood for our dinner. The chocolate mousse and espresso ice cream dessert was very nice too! Thank you for being one of the nicest places in our area. We will be back. Best Regards, Jeff and Susanna"

"Martha’s Vineyard in the mountains…understated, quiet elegance, far removed from the sturm & drang of it’s colossal neighbor, The Homestead. Everything about Gristmill Square screams charm, and delivers. Highly recommend for the discriminating traveler, a must."

"UPDATE: We were issued a partial refund in response to my review. I feel like they made things more than right, so please keep that in mind as you read my original review below. I am updating stars to reflect my final experience. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Overall, we enjoyed our one-night stay very much. I only have two complaints. First, the area rug is nailed to the floor. This wouldn't be a problem except the nails are raised from the hard floor, so while the carpet squishes under your feet, the nails do not, and stepping on them without shoes is unpleasant. Second, you're supposed to call for your breakfast between 8 and 10am. That said, we weren't able to get through to someone, despite calling several times. We ended up eating something on the way home, and didn't get to experience the breakfast at all."

"What a gem! From the easiest check-in experience to the beautiful setting and the delicious food, this is an ideal B&B for people who want private relaxation! There is no pressure to be social (though there is no discouragement for those seeking that too). The separated buildings are all lovely; we stayed in the Spring Suite in the Blacksmith House. It was spacious and there was clearly care taken to include historic aspects while integrating modern comforts (like the deep jetted tub). The rooms include plenty of linens, toiletries, a glass bottle freshly filled with water, an ice bucket, and a coffee maker with the necessities. Our room also had a mini fridge and an electric fireplace. The Waterwheel Restaurant made us a delicious dinner and delivered it to our room, too! The town of Warm Springs is quaint and picturesque (the lovely clock tower chimes but not too loudly; we could only hear it while outside and nearby), but do be prepared to have a plan for meals. There are no supermarkets and very few restaurants in town. Luckily, the Inn can take care of that, too! Breakfast is delivered daily in a basket; for us, the first day was egg-and-sausage biscuits, fresh fruit, a pastry, and orange juice, plus tea or coffee. The second day was a piece of breakfast casserole and a slice of banana bread plus the same fruit and beverages. Everything was great and served at the right temperature! Overall, this was one of the best places I've ever stayed, and I look forward to returning! Thank you, everyone!"

"Nestled between the Allegheny and Blue Ridge mountains lies this gem. From breathtaking views to the warm creek, you can dip your toes in this venue is perfect for a romantic getaway. While our trip was only 2 days it didn't disappoint. The Turley suite offers a soaking tub and large walk-in shower, comfortable queen bed, indoor seating area with cable TV, a cute porch with table and chairs to enjoy the fresh mountain air and the peaceful sound of the creek flowing near the property. Also on the property is the Waterwheel restaurant, be sure to book your reservation when booking your stay at the Gristmill so you do not miss out on the incredible food. Another wonderful addition to our stay was the in room hot breakfast we were given each morning. Normally, like most moms we do not eat breakfast, however I could not pass up yogurt parfait coupled with a breakfast casserole that was the perfect start to our day on the Jackson River. The staff was friendly, accommodating and respected our privacy as well as offered great advise on the must-see destinations in the area. Warm Springs Valley offers a variety of activities, I recommend taking a kayak trip down the Jackson River, enjoy a relaxing soak at the Warm Spring Pools just a short 2-minute drive from the Gristmill Square. This trip was one for the memory books and we will be returning. If you are reading this review, book the room, take the trip, and make the memories you will not be disappointed."
