I absolutely love revisiting Yellow Springs, especially for an overnight stay. My friends weren’t able to use expiring gift certificates to stay at Grinnell Mill, and they were so nice to offer them to us. It was an incredible time and I would love to go back!

The Mill

Grinnell Mill dates back to 1821 and is sometimes open for visitors to check out the old equipment and learn about its history.

Other times it’s a bed and breakfast, offering a great place to enjoy some peace and quiet in Glen Helen.

The Room & Shared Spaces

Our room was the 1811 room, which has a private bathroom, comfy bed, and a TV – everything we needed. It’s one of two rooms on the second floor accessible by a staircase.

We ate at Winds Cafe, shopped all around town, went to a wine tasting with live jazz music at Emporium Wines, had coffee at Dino’s Cappuccino’s, and breakfast at Sunrise Cafe. We woke up to a little thunderstorm in a forest. It was just a perfect night away.
