Property Suitability

We love kids, but this is an historic and industrial space that has been converted to a home. There are a number of antiques, fragile items, and potential hazards including but not limited to: loose mortar, peeling paint, steep drops, sharp rocks and sliding doors that can pinch little fingers. We do not recommend this property for children under 12 years of age.

Smoking is not allowed inside the Mill House or on the porch and deck. If you smoke on the property, please ensure you pick up any butts and properly dispose of them in the trash after they are no longer hot.

Owner

English
Hello travelers! We are Christina and Daniel, a middle-age, slightly geeky couple with a passion for history, small Texas towns, travel, good food and better cocktails.

We bought the Mill House on Stillhouse Creek as a passion project, get-away and a place to share with our extended families all over Texas. Gatesville is both off the beaten path and in the middle of so many great Texas spots, we think it is a wonderful home base to travel from as well as a warm and inviting retreat to enjoy.

We can't wait to host you at Mill House. If you have any questions, want to know the best spots on the property, or are curious about the history and lore of the old Winfield Mill, just ask. We'll do our best to make your stay welcoming and comfortable.

Getting around

Mill House is within walking distance of the Gatesville Town Square, Coryell County Courthouse, the Coryell History Museum, and the Feed Mill Restaurant. We're less than an hour to Waco & Lake Belton, and even closer to the north end of Ft. Hood. Some of our favorite things to do are the Last Drive-in Picture Show in Gatesville, Mother Neff State Park, and the Topsey Exotic Ranch & Drive Thru Safari. If shopping is more your thing, there are wonderful antiques in Hamilton and Crawford nearby.
