If you're a history, architecture or engineer buff, you'll find The Old Mill's interior structure intriguing. If you're looking for relaxation, the sound of water over the dam will sooth you. The Old Mill's a great location from which to launch your bicycling, fishing, and kayaking adventures, to attend the University of Northern Iowa or Wartburg events, to shop Cedar Falls, Waterloo or Waverly, Iowa, or to host family gatherings. Inside, unique architectural accents from grain milling days entice you to marvel at the high ceilings graced by maple floor joists that are braced by black walnut columns and saddles in this clean, comfortable living space. Original, massive, 13 1/2-by-12 inch, mortise-and-tenon constructed beams provide the 40-by-30 foot framework for this five-story mill. NOTE #1: Three of the five levels can be rented. The 1st floor's two-bedroom, 1,200 square-foot apartment is Vrbo property ID# 1056730. SEE NOTE #2 BELOW. The limestone foundation is 4 feet thick at its base and 3-feet where the basement meets the 1st floor. Sunlight streams through 6-pane windows removed from the mill prior to 1985; then reinstalled in 2011 above the interior doors of the two bedrooms and full bathroom. ●1,200 square foot, 2-bedroom, 1.5 bath, 1st floor (also referred to as street-level) apartment is furnished with antiques and decorated with mill artifacts. ●BEDROOMS ▪︎Larger bedroom has a queen bed and walnut gentleman's dresser with mirror and marble inset between the handkerchief drawers. ▪︎Smaller bedroom has a full bed and an antique, spoon-carved commode. ▪︎Bedrooms have river views. ●Red accent walls remind you of barns from earlier days. ●BATHROOMS ▪︎ Full bath has a tub/shower combination and large vanity with single sink. ▪︎ Half bath has a pedestal sink, toilet and washer/dryer. ●Towels, linens, hair dryer, soap and shampoo are provided. ● LIVINGROOM ▪︎ Furnished with a comfy leather couch, two recliners, and a futon that makes into a full-size bed with extra thick mattress. ▪︎ Walnut columns divide the living and dining areas. ●DINING AREA: Antique-oak table seats four to six with an eclectic mix of captains chairs and walnut chairs with caned seats. ●KITCHEN: Open to both living and dining areas with plenty of cabinets and counter space.

Gaze at an adjacent, three-arch bridge built in 1916 which is on the National Register of Historic Places, the upstream rubble dam, and mesmerizing sunsets. A pool below the dam is spawning territory for walleye in early spring, as well as a popular fishing spot year round so bring your fishing gear. ●CITY PARK Is adjacent to the mill property and overlooks the dam. The shelter can be rented with picnic tables, adjacent deck, modern restrooms and electric outlets. ●BOAT LAUNCH beyond the park above the dam allows small craft, kayaks and canoes to go upstream. ●PATIO. Listen to nature calling as you relax on the private patio overlooking the river, flanked by a rustic bridge railing and millstones. A gas grill, tools, picnic plasticware, even the picnic basket are provided for your convenience. You may glimpse blue herons, Baltimore orioles, cardinals and migratory species like the colorful cedar waxwing. During winter chickadees, nut hatches, woodpeckers and an occasional hawk land in nearby trees. Eagles sometimes soar over in summer or perch on ice above the dam as they enjoy their morning meal in winter. At night you may catch a glimpse of a deer, raccoons, beaver or otter in the yard. ● OWNERS' favorite day involves launching kayaks at Heery Woods Park near Clarksville, Iowa (hometown of 2018 American Idol winner Maddie Poppe) about 8 miles away. Then floating down the Shell Rock River, picnicking and skipping rocks along the way. Kayaks are taken out above the dam at the park next to the mill. At the mill, we mount our bicycles, ride the Rolling Prairie Trail back to Heery Woods where we retrieve the transport vehicle. What a wonderful way to combine relaxing with nature and exercise! ●CANOE AND KAYAK RENTALS are available 6.5 miles away in Waverly, IA. ●BICYCLES. Bring yours! More than 100 miles of hard-surfaced trails in the Cedar Valley are within 25 miles of the mill at Cedar Falls and Waterloo, IA.

We enjoyed the river, and the park next to the mill. The nice grill was a great benefit as well. The owners were very friendly and responsive. ##### Lori Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allan W.

Also the kitchen was very well supplied. We arrived early and were made to feel welcome while the owners finished preparing for our stay. ##### Allan W.

It was so convenient to be able to go back and forth for all of the activities planned for move-in weekend. Our younger children took advantage of fishing on the river and treated us to a fish fry at night. ##### Allison S.
