Overall the inn is lovely, but I would not stay in the Croft room again and would mostly write off the free breakfast.
The Croft room said "mountain view" on hotels.com but it just looked out onto the post office and the main house.
On the inn's website it advertised a wood fireplace (which was a selling point for us) but it was actually gas.
The heat in the house that Croft and other rooms are in is central, so you can't control the heat from your room. You're supposed to text a number to have them change it but I didn't want to get in a thermometer war with the other guests...
One of the biggest turnoffs was the toilet - it is situated so you can't sit straight on it without your knees hitting a radiator box. They should consider renovating this.
The shower could also use an update - it was pretty grody.
Also not outlets available by the bedside on either side - pretty annoying.
Breakfast was brought to the room, which was nice, but it was very basic and didn't seem homemade for the most part - mini breakfast burrito (seemed similar to the frozen ones you can buy in bulk), bulk muffins, vanilla sweetened yogurt with granola, OJ, coffee.
Again the overall setting is beautiful, I just wouldn't stay in this particular room and would be careful to study the pictures of the other rooms, especially the bathroom. I also would try to book 24 hours in advance to get the chance to order a nicer version of breakfast (but not sure that would be possible).

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. They even got us a driver to the Homestead for drinks when the local transportation company was too busy. The breakfasts were good and The Waterwheel restaurant was Excellent!

Honestly, their concept of using historic buildings as inns is fantastic and very quaint. The restaurant is amazing, and the complimentary breakfast is well done. Great staff too and wonderful location. Absolutely stunning area. Conversely, I would say there is a difference between "antique chic" and "antique tired." The decor needs a bit of updating, and the window air conditioner in the Wheat Room is not adequate to cool the space when it is full sun and warm outside. The seating area outside our house was overgrown with weeds and in dire need of some cleaning and refinishing. Lovely place but could use some attention to make it inviting for guests. Also, after viewing the restaurant's menu online, I found that they offered a vegetarian option for dinner which is why I chose it. When I arrived it was not on the menu nor was it available. I was asked when I made the dinner reservation if I had any dietary restrictions, but I didn't specify any given that the menu offered me an option. Not one vegetarian entree so beware if you follow a plant based diet.

So much nicer and also better on the wallet than to stay at the Homestead. Lovely, peaceful ambiance, a cute and refreshing pool to refresh, and great food and service. Hand delivery of breakfast to each room was an added plus.

The Inn at Grist Mill Square has been around for 40 yrs and I have been a visitor a dozen times. Shabby chic describes the decor. It is clean and well appointed. The food is excellent. The waterwheel has fallen into disrepair sadly and the place needs some paint but the soul is peaceful and it’s a lovely place for respite.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Inn. Room was perfect and staff were so friendly and accommodating. Miller was also an added bonus to us animal lovers. Cannot wait to come back for another stay!

Very nice... Had a great dinner at the Waterwheel restaurant. Our room was clean and comfortable and it had a wood-burning fireplace which we used. They provide the wood and start the fire for you. The whole stay was perfect we had no issues. Planning to go back in the Spring.

Lovely hotel, great location next to the warm creek flowing from the nearby hot spring! So worth it!

We really loved this property. It was beautiful in the fall and the perfect peaceful getaway. Our room was the Oat room, with a living room and bedroom. Very comfortable. They delivered breakfast each morning in a cute wire basket and added a pot of coffee at our request. The bar and the bartender were excellent and the restaurant was great. Very quiet place, nice tiny town great for walking.

This property is made up of historic buildings in Warm Springs and is nestle in lovely green forest covered trees. Lovely the character of the rooms and the nice touch of having a light breakfast delivered to your room when you call. While the Waterwheel Restaurant is the only one in town it’s so worth it!!! Each meal there was delicious.

This was a perfect alternative to staying at a mega resort. The on-site restaurant was excellent and the little bar area was fun. I’ll definitely stay there again.

We stayed in the Loft, the room was clean and cozy. If you like the outdoors there are many different trails convenient to the Inn and it is a short drive to other dining options.

The location of the inn is lovely and the restaurant was very nice. Our room, however, was quite disappointing. While I realize that these very old buildings are going to have some “patina”, I believe the condition of the furnishings and other details should be better for the cost. The lighting in the room was insufficient, my husband and I rolled to the middle of the mattress, and the tub/shower combo was uncomfortable with poor water pressure. The towels were large and absorbent but toilet paper was thin and cheap and there were no facial tissues in the room. I know the intention was good but the innkeepers missed the mark on our room. I know other rooms at the inn are far superior as I was invited to look at one at check out. I suggest paying for the nicer rooms if you intend to stay here.

My wife and I celebrated part of our 29th Wedding Anniversary at The Inn at Gristmill Square in the Singapore Suite. From reservation to checkout, the hospitality was off the charts!
From the moment we arrived, we were well taken care of. They made us feel like family they hadn’t seen yet. There must be something good in the water there.
The Chef prepared food was OUTSTANDING. The breakfast we received at the door the next morning in that cool little basket was exceptional also. We even had the opportunity to talk to John (Chef/Innkeeper) while eating his intricately prepared scrumptious food.
The people and the surrounding atmosphere made for a wonderful and relaxed celebration during our wedding anniversary weekend.
I said all that to say, that you have to treat yourself to a stay at Gristmill Square/WaterWheel Restaurant. Also, take in some sightseeing while you’re there.
You deserve it.
Keep up the great work guys/gals! See you next time.

We stayed in the Silo room. It was quaint but very comfortable. The breakfast was brought to our room. I was surprised that the food was hot. The yogurt was excellent and the muffin was homemade. We had fresh orange juice and eggs. The staff was very nice and accommodating. Was well pleased with our stay.

What a lovely charming place. It was a perfect stopping place on our trip to North Carolina. The room was charming. We enjoyed a swim in the pool before dinner. The breakfast delivered in a basket was delicious and we ate outside at the tables in the sunshine. I highly recommend the Gristmill Inn.
4.0
The "sign-in" was easy and quick. The agent was very friendly and provided helpful information about the area. Morning breakfast (juice, egg casserole, bun, yogurt with blueberries) was and delivered within 10 minutes of ordering. Our bedroom and bath was clean and comfortable and included TV, coffee maker and refrigerator. The venue was pleasant, quiet and almost like stepping back in time, yet included all the amenities of home. The outside area of the house and lawn needed attention. (cleaning/painting the entrance area and porch including weeding the front and side yard. Also, the windows needed washing) Another PLUS: The venue is located in Warm Springs which makes it very close to the The Omnie Hotel and Douthat State Park. We do recommend The Inn at Gristmill for a fun weekend getaway to explore Warm Springs and surrounding points of interest.

A unique step back in time with modern amenities. Staff was very accommodating and our stay was relaxing. A short walk over to the spa was a treat not to miss.

We were venturing thru the West Virginia and Virginia countryside and needed a place to stay. The Inn at Gristmill Square came up as an option and we jumped at the opportunity. We arrived late and the B&B was well prepared to receive us. They had great instructions following a quick call and the room was large, clean, unique and updated. We had the Board Room and truly enjoyed our short stay. Breakfast was delivered in a basket to our room (blueberry pancakes with bacon and a yogurt parfait plus coffee and OJ). Seating was available in the square. I would definitely stay here again and have already spread the word about my stay. The area is off the beaten path which is nice if you really want to slow down. The service was friendly and helpful.

This was a total downhome feel and the owners were very personable. They welcomed us with our 3 kids for a great weekend stay right by the pool. Thanks !
