“Visiting The Mill was an experience of a lifetime. It is the perfect place to immerse yourself in nature and get in touch with your creative side… I left The Mill feeling so fresh and revived. The atmosphere and energy is incredible. I definitely plan to do the writers retreat again in the future and cannot recommend it highly enough.”
