Private Cabin At A Historic Shenandoah Valley B&B

A private historic cabin (circa 1873) featuring a stone wood-burning fireplace, 150-year-old hand-hewn wooden beams and a sunken two-person soaking tub. Amenities also include a basic kitchen nook with mini-fridge, microwave and coffee maker as well as a smart TV, standard cable, DVD player, communal DVD/book library, Bluetooth speaker, and access to free Wi-Fi. The Osceola Mill is an 1800s Shenandoah Valley water-powered flour mill converted into a rustic restaurant and inn. The Osceola Mill (Circa 1849), originally a Shenandoah Valley water-powered flour mill, has since been converted into a rustic country inn and restaurant hosting travelers from all over the world for almost 50 years. Built in 1873, the "Mill Store Cabin" originally functioned as the store where the miller sold his stone-ground goods to the local community. After the Osceola Mill's retirement as a functional mill in 1969 due to hurricane Camille, the mill store was converted into a private residence which was eventually rented out to travelers when the mill became a country inn a few years later. The most prominent feature of the "Mill Store Cabin" is by far its original massive stone chimney inlaid with one of the original millstones. Fire up some logs in its stone wood-burning fireplace, draw a bath in the cabin's two-person soaking tub, crack open a bottle of wine, and unwind. Bask in the nearly 150 year-old hand-hewn wooden beams and antique wooden interior structures. Combined with a recently updated modern country flare, the cabin creates the perfect rustic ambience for your rural retreat. The cabin is equipped with a basic kitchen nook including a mini-fridge, microwave, hot/cold water dispenser, and coffee maker. Amenities also include a private bathroom, two person soaking tub, smart TV (with Netflix), standard cable, DVD player, communal DVD/book library, Bluetooth speaker, and access to free Wi-Fi.

(Website hidden by Airbnb) We are in the process of getting high-speed fiber optic INTERNET installed at the Osceola Mill. At the moment however, we have limited internet bandwidth due to our rural location. Please keep in mind there is only so much streaming our fragile bandwidth can handle and storms generally "knock out" the internet. This is a good time to disconnect and take some time away from all the normal hussle and bussle! If you do need to connect though, info to access our free WiFi will be included in your welcome packet. We also have standard cable television available in every room via Dish Network. One other note, cellular service is fairly limited if not non-existent for most carriers in our little nook. You may have to drive a couple minutes up the road to get service.
