Oh my gosh where do I start! What a sweet little house. Appointed with everything you need and a wonderful location for running, walking, little shops and close to all that Charlotte has to offer. Ben and Susan are attentive. We will be back!

The property was clean, and had everything we needed. Quiet neighborhood and a GREAT back yard. My wife and I don't travel often, but this property became our oasis in a community we were unfamiliar with.

University Mill House was the perfect location while attending events at Cabarrus Arena. Susan was so responsive from the initial booking stages and throughout the stay. Immaculately clean, so much attention has been given to details of anything you may need from a sound machine, aromatherapy diffuser, dual kitchen decanter/kcup, fast brew hot water tea pot and every utensil imaginable. The gas grill was an added bonus. A basket was provided for the pets, sofa cover and little blankets. The neighborhood is quiet and quaint and perfect for front porch sitting to unwind before crawling into the comfy king size bed. What a treasure we were fortunate enough to find for our stay. P.S. Thank you Susan and Ben for the welcome basket of goodies and cold waters waiting in the fridge.
Peaceful moments in the private backyard while the dogs chased a ball
Welcome fall; beautiful addition the front porch.
Oh the details!!
All is calm and peaceful here!

Amazing home

I wanted to write a review to say how much I enjoyed staying at your place. Your thoughtfulness and care shone through in every detail—from the spotless setup and the helpful instructions you texted to the way you made everything so easy and welcoming. It felt like home, and that’s no small thing.Our text chats were always so friendly and helpful, and I really appreciated how you went out of your way to make sure I had what I needed. It’s clear you put your heart into hosting, and it made my stay something I’ll remember fondly.Thank you for everything—I’d love to come back someday!

Adorable Millhouse!

This cute little Mill house is one of 1,600 historic Mill houses in the area and possibly the cutest and most well-appointed one. Susan was a great host and had a basket of goodies and water bottles in the fridge for us when we arrived.After our visit, I believed I had lost an expensive bracelet in the guest room. I told Susan about it and she took an extra visit to the house to scour every corner of the place. This is above and beyond what most would do.I highly recommend her place and hope to stay again while visiting family in the area.

Beautiful and family-friendly property in a quiet neighborhood

We had a lovely 2-night stay at Susan's. The home was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for our small family, including my 6 month old. The location was quiet and close to many restaurants and attractions. We were in town for the Ren Faire, which was only 20 minutes from this property. Looking forward to staying here again!
