This was our second time staying at the Old Mill Inn.
From the beginning of the reservation process to the arrival, Michelle was in contact with all the details we needed. Phillip greeted us and showed us to our room. Betty was wonderful in the breakfast area, she went over and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. They all made us feel special and appreciated as guests.
We stayed in Room 202 and while it's small, there was plenty of storage. We never heard the other guests coming and going but the white noise maker was really cool (bought one for myself when I got home). Everything was spotless and the bed was comfortable. There were many special amenities, from mints to coffee. Glasses and water were also in the room.
The location is wonderful. If you don't feel like going anywhere, there are decks and patios and yard to sit in by the river and waterfall. Everything in town is within walking distance, including The Appalachian Trail and the Creeper Trail.
The restaurant in the Inn was delicious, and the bar was fun. Everything about the visit made us feel like we were a part of the Inn.
One of our favorite places to eat and hang out! Paulie is the man!
It was the perfect place for a break. The room was spotless & the bed was so comfortable! The balcony view was magical. The restaurant is absolutely amazing and the service is impeccable. It was a great little staycation with my dog (we live about 20 minutes away) . There was so much to do all within walking distance or a very short drive. The entire staff makes you feel like family and they are very good with my dog. I absolutely recommend The Damascus Old Mill Inn to anyone who needs the perfect getaway.
What an unexpected surprise for a quick stop during recent travel. The inn and staff are so welcoming. Our room was clean, nice updates, with top tier bedding and towels. The bar and restaurant are excellent. Sit on the porch and enjoy the geese, nature and the waters pill from the original mill. You will not regret your visit!
Amazing spot, very unique, great staff
Absolutely beautiful 😍 🤩 👌🏼
Great food! Great views! And absolutely love the bartender there! Such a great selection of beer, bourbon and mixed drinks. You won’t regret stopping here.
Oh my goodness. The most insanely great service you could imagine. I just finished a 4 day hike on the AT and the tour of the mill gave me goosebumps; the art and history will blow your mind. They were closed for a private party and the owner went really far out of his way to make sure I had a great stay. 11/10. Definitely coming back.
Noteworthy details: Very accommodating to hikers.

We stayed here over Veterans Day weekend and just loved this place. We stayed in room 204, which is an "L" shaped room with a queen-size bed and a fold-out couch. Our teenager used the fold out. There was plenty of room (even after couch was folded out) and the bathroom was an adequate size as well. In fact, we kept our 3 bikes in the room as well, without issue. Our room had two windows which overlook the creek running behind the Inn. One window is large and over looks a balcony. The balcony isn't private to our room (although some rooms do have private balconies), but all you have to do is exit the room, then exit outside - very convenient. Our room had a large screen tv. Our only issue with the tv was we couldn't adjust the volume and it was set really low. Along these lines, the hotel was very quiet. Our bed was extremely comfortable! All the employees seemed very friendly and accommodating. Our breakfast, which came with the room, was great the next morning - what a lovely place to have your coffee. The location of this inn is perfect for exploring Damascus and getting access to the Creeper Trail. We were here to bike the trail from Abingdon to Damascus (shuttled to Abingdon through Sundog Damascus).
Nearby activities: Wicked Chicken, Appalachian Heritage Distillery & Brewery, multiple bike rental and gift shops, Wilson's Cafe & Grill (excellent food here), and convenient to the Virginia Creeper Trail. Food City is a short drive away. Laurel Creek Park (home of the local farmer’s market) is next door to Inn.
Walkability: You can walk everywhere in this town from Old Mill Inn - or bike.

Did not stay at the Inn- but ate at the restaurant. Hands down the best hamburger around. Looking forward to returning there soon after the mess from Helene begins to clear up. So glad to know that this treasure survived.

Out of most items we were interested in ordering. Had we ordered flies, we would have been in the right place. Waitress was very nice, location was beautiful but other than that you could not enjoy your meal, which was not great by a long shot, for the serious invasion of Flys! Very bad. Would not spend that kind of money for a meal that was not worth but 1/3 what it cost!
Noteworthy details: Not worth the trip, dtinks and food were poor at best, and the flies were terrible. Won't go back.

Service was great, food was overdone or TASTELESS, in that it was tough. The manager didn't seem to care. He needs a different career.

Dinner: 16 Oz ribeye we returned both due to being overcooked. Waitress gave us a complimentary pimento cheese dip with no veggies or pita slices. We ate it with a fork. Second steak temp was correct but so tough and flavorless. Honestly, Texas Roadhouse does a better job. So disappointed that nor the Chef or Manager spoke to us after expressing our concerns. My fiancee had to go inside to locate the manager. I am so disappointed and was hoping to give a good review
The restaurant is under new management however, nothing has changed.
