Welcome to Gristmill Square
Welcome to Gristmill Square
Located in the heart of the picturesque village of Warm Springs, The Inn at Gristmill Square offers a unique and peaceful escape from the rush and noise of everyday life.
Gristmill Square is like a small 19th century mountain village, with lovingly-restored historic buildings, fresh-baked muffins every morning, and an elegant restaurant housed in the converted mill. Welcome elements of the modern world intrude gently – each room has a private bath, cable TV and private phone line, and a day spa and gift shops are on the grounds.
History of the Inn
History of the Inn
There has been a mill in continuous operation on this site on Warm Springs Run since 1771. The present mill building was erected in 1900 and operated as a gristmill until 1971, when the building was converted into the Waterwheel Restaurant.
The Inn was created in 1972, utilizing five original 19th century buildings. A blacksmith shop and hardware store were converted to guest rooms and office space. Two grand old homes, The Steele House and The Miller House, have been converted to guest rooms and a day spa.
Bath County
Bath County
Bath County is named for the crystal clear mineral waters of the natural warm springs, and travelers have come to Bath to soak in the springs for more than 200 years. This is the perfect place to sit on a porch on a lazy afternoon, soak away your cares in a natural spring, or climb a hill to watch the sun set. It’s also a great place for active relaxation, like hiking, golf, boating and mountain biking. A world-class music center and several excellent galleries and shops provide cultural diversion, as well.
