Welcome to Aberdeen Mills-a 40 acre farm and grist mill! Make some memories at this unique and family-friendly place - The Miller's Cottage, built in 1770.
You will be staying in the 1774 Miller’s Cottage where the private porch overlooks a green pasture, large creek and grist mill. The first floor has a comfortable living room, well equipped kitchen and dining table. Two bedrooms on the second floor and a common area Queen size bed accommodate a total of 6 people (including adults and children). The master bedroom has a king sized bed and a door to the bathroom. The second bedroom has 2 twin sized beds. There is one full bath on the second floor with shower (no tub).
Enjoy total privacy or join us on our morning chores, feeding the animals and gathering fresh eggs. During the day, cross the bridge over the creek to get not the beautifully maintained Conewago Recreation Trail where you can walk or ride bikes. Use one of the fire pits on the property to start a fire and roast some s'mores, hot dogs or make popcorn. Walk the trail through the property and enjoy the cool shade. Pack a picnic and sit in the picnic area, play games in the yard, snooze in a hammock, meditate by the creek or just swing on the porch swing.
Our farm is a relaxing spot for you and your family to return to after a day of seeing the sites or visiting Hershey Park. Walking/biking trails across the creek. Our rural setting is a relaxing spot to stay after a day of seeing the sites or visiting Hershey Park just 15 minutes away. We are 10 minutes to the train station which will take you to all the surrounding major cities - DC, NY, Philly for a day trip too!
