If ever there was an Airbnb spot worthy of a small splurge, it would be the historic R.W. George Mill (circa 1881) found just 15 miles to the east of Mt. Airy on the Hanging Rock Scenic Byway. Of course, where you find a grist mill you’ll also very likely find a waterfall that powered the mill. And that’s precisely the case with this waterfall AirBnB rental in North Carolina. Let’s take a look:
Wedged between the scenic highway and Big Creek, the R.W. George Mill began as a corn mill, grinding out meal for the locals.
But during World War II it was converted into a textile mill known as Spence Mills, which manufactured parachute fabric for the government. Today though, R.W. George Mill has been converted into a wonderful AirBnB rental where fresh air and spectacular waterfall views abound.
Relax and unwind out on the deck that faces the 10-foot, creek-wide waterfall. It's loud enough to enjoy the sounds of its flow even if you're inside the home with the doors shut...
