The University Mill House is absolutely wonderful! It offers such a quaint, comfortable, spotless and relaxing accommodation. Ben and Susan did a remarkable job maintaining the original character of an historic mill house while making it outstanding. The upgrades, decor, amenities and ‘extra touches’ were top-notch. We can’t wait to visit again when a lower heat index allows us to fully enjoy the amazing backyard, too. Highly recommended!

Susan's home is beautiful and SO charming. From the front porch swing and sitting area, to the collection of coffee mugs, to the wonderful back yard with the fire pit, every inch of Susan's home felt welcoming and peaceful. Thought was clearly put into every piece of furniture, decoration, and amenity. The house is near the research campus and the Kannapolis Cannon Balls baseball stadium, and while we were in town for neither, it would be a great location for anyone visiting for work, family, or otherwise. Susan is also a wonderful host who communicated clearly and in a timely manner at all times. Highly recommend.
