About this property

Mill house offers comfort, and charm

Attention Florida evacuates unfortunately we are booked until 1 November. Green Shutters Cottage, 495 Habersham Mill Rd., Demorest, 30535. This 1947 mill house is cozy, charming and offers comfort. Many a guest have remarked that it’s like going to visit grandma. However, the house is fully equipped; a fully equipped kitchen, washer, and dryer Wi-Fi, 25, MG, 32” Sony TV with basic cable. There is a cozy front porch and a larger side porch in which to take in views of the mountains and a breeze. It’s a perfect spot for meals, grilling or just having morning coffee. This is a standalone property with ample space to walk your dog and plenty of parking. This is perfect lodging for parents wanting to visit Piedmont University. Clarkesville is 4 miles away as is a Cornelia Georgia with plenty of antiquing and dining opportunities. Bavarian Helen is a short 20 minute drive. There’s plenty of hiking opportunities close by. In 2024 the front yard will become a cut flower farm.

Very quaint house with lots of charm but it is an old house so it has the issues associated with an old house. Floors creak and doors show signs of the house settling over the years. But it all adds to some of the charm.Host was very accommodating and quick to respond.If I had to change one thing about the house, it would be some new matresses.This house would still be on my list when coming back to town.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 May 2026

The house is a ‘historic mill house’ built in the 40s. Some of those issues are not fixed easily. You must be a builder. Ha ha One mattress is firm and one soft both three years old. Sorry they need not meet your needs.

Chris, Thanks for the great review. I hit the wrong response button in the review. Yes, I would host your group again but maybe taking the house to a full time rental. Many blessings in the new year! Brooks
